Time after time

CHET BAKER

Chet Baker live in Belgium, 1964. From youtube.

Chet Baker was a monster trumpet player. In the 1950s jazz was king and the trumpet was lead guitar. In 1954, Chet Baker was voted best jazz trumpeter. Over Miles Davis. No small feat.

So when Chet told his record label that he was going to start singing, everyone groaned. Don't do it they warned.

Then he sang, and the angels came out to play.

Woodstock

James Taylor on the Howard Stern show

"We are stardust, we are golden

We are million year old carbon

And we've got to get ourselves

Back to the garden."

-- Joni Mitchell

Seriously excellent cover of this Joni Mitchell classic from James Taylor.

I am definitely of the "Woodstock Generation."

Stardust, golden, million year old carbon.

Hippie for life.

Let the Mystery Be

IRIS DEMENT

Everybody is a wondering what and where they all came from

Everybody is a worrying about where their gona go when the whole thing's done

No one knows for certain so it's all the same to me

Think I'll just let the mystery be

Angel from Montgomery

JOHN PRINE

I am an old woman

Named after my mother

My old man is another

Child who's grown old.

If dreams were lighting

And thunder were desire

This old house would have burnt down

A long time ago.

Make me an angel

To fly from Montgomery

Make me a poster

Of an old rodeo

Just give me one thing

That I can hold on to

To believe in this living

Is just a hard way to go.

-- John Prine

Amazing early footage of Jimi Hendrix live.
