Wild World. Great, great song by a great, legendary artist, Cat Stevens. He is my favorite artist who just sat and played acoustic guitar/piano and sung. I never saw him as a folk singer, but I know that's how he has be classified. I have been into Cat Stevens pretty much all my life. He has so many great songs, but "Wild World" is my fave of his. "Wild World" came off his great album "Tea For Tillerman" from 1970.

"But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But a lot of nice things turn bad out there"

Who else out there digs this song?

Me.

Yusuf Islam is a cool cat.

Yeah, I wasn't going to get into his name change and his religion, you know. That's his thing. I just know him as Cat Stevens.

You know, I hope he starts back performing again. He said that there was a period where he hadn't touched his guitar in years! That's insane. I've always loved Cat Stevens. Compared to the other folk singers of the day, James Taylor, Carly Simon, etc, Cat was like a rock star compared to them. I just think he was on a higher level. Some of my faves are:

Wild World
Peace Train
Another Saturday Night
Father And Son
The First Cut Is The Deepest

He has so many.

Love this song.

Going off of Pagey's quote, If I only had to have one thing, it definately would HAVE to be my guitar. I would literally go insane without it. I think Pagey would have a hard go without one too.

Then when you'd had enough of being alone on that island, perhaps you could use your guitar as an inflatable dinghy.
