Was that you ???

Was that you?
was that you I caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye .. a person that I used to know,,,and knew me, was that you was it a shadow of the past , or the future Is that how you look now,, or looked then, I could not see it then - but I see it now you look now like I remember you looked then sound now as I remember you spoke then I don't remember the face, or hear the voice. was that you I turned to look again, and you were gone gone of your own will, or another, was it you shadow on a wall, face in a mirror, Images of sorrow was it you, that turned away or me, not wanting to see or be seen


Images of sorrow, pictures of delight
Things that go to make up a life
Endless days of summer longer nights of gloom
Waiting for the morning light
Scenes of unimportance, photos in a frame
Things that go to make up a life

Help us someone, let us out of here
Cos living here so long undisturbed
Dreaming of the time we were free
So many years ago
Before the time when we first heard
Welcome to the home by the sea

& Jorma & Jack, & Jeffereson Airplane, & HOT TUNA !!

Ok, so I am showing my age a bit,,,

Jorma Kaukonen was part of Jefferson Airplane,, before they became the Starship,,,,

The Airplane was Jorma , Jack Cassidy (joined the Band after the 1st Album), Marty Balin, Paul Kantner Signe Anderson, Skip Spence, Spencer Dryden (also drummed with the New Riders of the Purple sage) & Grace Slick ( also joined the Band after the 1st Album) ,,,,

Many of the members were with , and played with other bands,,, After the Starship Kantner Balin, Cassidy formed KBC and were very good together,,, They played the Chance here in Pok and that was an outstanding show,,,

I have seen Hot Tuna several times, and they are always very good,,,, Jorma can still play like no one else,,,, check him out at the Bardavon in early Februrary or a spot near your town,,,,, you will not be disappointed,,,,

Anyway,,, there is no lack of Music from this band,,, from Grace Slick and the Great Society,,, to Hot Tuna,,, and KBC,,, and on and on,,,,, They are all members of Rock and Roll HOF ,,, inducted in 1996,,,,


I will digress for a moment,,, when I listen to these type of Bands , & I think that their music has lasted for over 40 years,,, and you can think of other musicians of that era who's Songs, and music endured for 3 or 4 decades,,, SO , who today is going to be today's Clapton, Kaukonen, Townsend, Waters, Gilmore, Zappa, etc...the list goes on, and on, and on,,,,, What Music will be downloaded to my Grandchildren's Ipods, or what ever device that will be. John Mayer,,, ... Maybe,,,,, Dave Matthews Band - certainly,,,U2 ?? of course . Others?? I'd like to hear who you all think is going to pass the test of Musical time, and bridge the
generations ??? For Now,.... Let's enjoy some OLDIES,,,, at least they are oldies where I come from.... and I bet that 50 years from now ,, Jorma's guitar work on E. J. will be listened to by me, My children, and their children.................

. Embryonic Journey


White Rabbit..... and one of the WORST lip sync jobs EVER !!

Thursday Songs

I am in the mood for some of the Female singers that I really like ,,, that you may or may not have heard of,,,,, I am reminded that the Grammy awards are coming up.. and we need to remember that there are many many many artists out there that will never win or even be nominated for a Grammy,,, Those awards are for just whatever is mainstream music,,, now... I do not begrudge them their fame,,,, Just as long as you and I remember that Artists like Sinead Lohan, and Jonatha Brooke, and Joan Armatrading (she actually was nominated) have more talent in one hand than some of these GRAMMY WINNERS have in their whole body !

SO,,, let's enjoy a few from Sinead,,, I will leave you to go pick up or download her No Mermaid CD,,,,,


Whatever it takes


No mermaid,,,,


And I will end with Jonatha Brooke,,, and Nothing Sacred...
