From his brilliant 1990 tour-where local guy (for me) Adrian Belew was the music director and lead guitarist (you only briefly see him in this clip)



TD, for more Belew check post 500. Mad geniuses at work.

Crow - Evil Woman
 
I have seen this a time or two, but never before now have I recognized its awesomeness: ]

You are really not a grouchy old man, you're a romantic. :)
 
49 years ago and look how far we've come...

Approximately 9,150 American troops are deployed with the African command, and "stretched thin." 49 years ago, 511 American troops were stationed in Africa, mostly Marines performing embassy guard duty. Progress, why?

Yoko earned her own classified FBI file, marked "Dangerous Alien." George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr concurred, but for very different reasons.
 
It's a hot, sticky humid day. You wake up to an AC on the fritz. The air you breath weighs as heavy as the all the disastrous personal experiences and news of the past few days, then you put this on the turntable and you can't help yourself, you must dance joyously and the heck with brushing your teeth or that first cup of joe as your dog and cat cover their eyes with their paws thinking "crazy person:"

You hear Jerry Garcia's name and you can't help but think "Grateful Dead." Simple word association. However, Jerry was much more. He was an avid listener. And a student of the Charlatans. He convinced a young folk guitarist, Jorma Kaukonen, well based in the blues tradition and often trading licks with Geoff Muldaur in the local coffee house circuit, and convinced him to join a band with this very hot chick singer at the front, armed with songs written by her brother in law, Darby Slick. Jerry upped the tempo, added a few lyrics, refined the sound and musical history was made:







Jerry had done this before and after with Quicksilver Messenger Service, Clear Light, Blue Cheer, Jesse Collins Young, Country Joe and the Fish, Brian Wilson and more than a few emerging "psychedelic" bands. He did so throughout his entire career, spotting talent, putting it to work in new combinations, often without taking or receiving credit, refining their work. He loved the music.
 
One more for the road:

That was a nice wake up.

Then I remembered this somewhat different, but great vibe:

The Byrds - Going Back

I think I'm goin' back, to the things I learned so well in my youth,
I think I'm returning to, those days when I was young enough, to know the truth
Now there are no games, to only pass the time
No more electric trains, no more tree's to climb
But thinking young and growing older, is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win

I can recall the time, when I wasn't ashamed to reach out, to a friend
Now I think I've got, a lot more than just my toys to lend
Now there's more to do, than watch my sailboat glide
But everyday can be, a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage, is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

Now there's more to do, than watch my sailboat glide
But everyday can be, a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage, is all we lack
So catch me if you can...
I'm goin' back

Bee Gees - Run to Me · orchestral arrangement by Bill Shepherd
 
There are a paltry few of us here on DP who are big reggae fans. I have no idea why. But, that's OK.

I've never heard of a reggae concert in Arizona. No matter, I lived in Florida for many years and was fortunate enough to hear great live reggae often. Cap's on Sunday at North Beach (Vilano, if you weren't local) in St. Augustine was feckin awesome every Sunday.

I've been listening to Gregory Issacs tonight.

Shawn Mullins - House Of The Rising Sun (Live)
 
In 1937, Alan Lomax recorded a performance by Georgia Turner, the 16-year-old daughter of a local miner. He called it The Rising Sun Blues. Lomax later recorded a different version sung by Bert Martin and a third sung by Daw Henson, both eastern Kentucky singers. Both can be found in the Lomax Archives at the Smithsonian waiting digitalization. I suspect the song even with the following earlier recordings is much older.

1933


1937
