Marty Balin's Prettiest Song

I'm not a huge devoted fan of the Airplane or Starship, but I do love a number of their songs, and I think Red Octopus is a great record. I was surprised to find some shows on archive today, and even more surprised when I streamed a show from The Tin Angel in 2000, to hear the long-lost syrup "Hearts", from Marty Balin's first (only?) solo record.

What a damned pretty song this is.

whole show here and it's a nice one, not quite unplugged but acoustic-room mellow, delicate. Damn he's got a great voice.
