I've always associated "Come Monday" and "Please Come to Boston" as two peas in a pod. But, until I went searching, I didn't realize that was probably because Dave Loggins' song bumped Jimmy Bufett's song out of the Top Spot on the charts in the summer of '74. So the two songs were like one long song for that summer of my life.
We lost Jimmy last summer. We lost Dave last month.
On this Music Friday, we look back on both artists with two of their biggest hits.
Jimmy's "Come Monday"...and Dave's "Please Come to Boston."
Like I said...it's one long song of longing.
