Everything's-going-right music

Listening to Noel Paul Stookey's "Paul And" album tonight, I'm reminded not only of the beauty of his hit, "Wedding Song (There Is Love)," but of the appealing, laid-back vibe of a more obscure tune.  "Ju Les Ver Negre En Cheese" has an of-its-time (1971) feel in the best way; the vocals float over the tune unobtrusively while the guitar part makes me think Joni Mitchell is about to sing.

Cars with the tops down usually annoy me, but I couldn't fault anyone driving with this music drifting from their car.  In fact, a segue with the right Brazilian tune should be encouraged.
