1. Wow! Such a hauntingly beautiful melody.

I wasn't sure that was really Browne until he started to sing. I'm sure I have that album but I don't remember the song. After listening in it's entirety I had to look up the poetry behind the melody and really fell for it . I have to listen again now and dig up the CD for the car.

While the sand slipped through the opening
And their hands reached for the golden ring
With their hearts they turned to each other's hearts for refuge
In the troubled years that came before the deluge

Jackson Browne is a gift, and I wish he'd make something new. I wonder who that was playing with him?
Thanx for posting. I think we all know someone like your friend.

On edit:
Further research reveals that is Val McCallum. He's a touring guitarist having worked with the likes of Sheryl Crow, Lucinda Williams, The Wallflowers, Bonnie Raitt, and Loretta Lynn, among others. His parents are actor and musician David McCallum and actress Jill Ireland. WOW!
