"The Sad Cafe"

~ Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-)))

This 'cafe' (Lady Scarletts Tea Parlour) in Ventnor, Isle of Wight is not 'by any stretch of the imagination' a 'sad cafe'. But, so that I can use this Eagles track we will have to imagine, just for a moment, that there is a little bit of sadness here :-)

"The Sad Cafe" comes from the Eagles' 1979 album "The Long Run". It followed their all-time classic album "Hotel California". I know reviews at the time said it was a disappointing album. It could never have surpassed "Hotel California" but there are gems on "The Long Run" and I say this is one of them :-) The song is, apparently, about The Troubadour in Los Angeles).

Love the alto saxophone solo by David Sanborn at the end of the track :-)
