Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

Nope it passes. it is as ephemeral as ourselves. But I find great comfort and beauty in the thought we, each of us, take our music with us when we go as the world is done with both of us, the sounds and the ears that heard them go on together

Poetic, simply poetic. You soitenly am da man, Dan.
 
I can't say enough about the craftsmanship of this song, I like to point out how few the brush strokes are used to create a a detailed picture of a culture both hidden and mysterious.

I've never heard anything more romantic. a sweeter tune than this? where are you going to find that!?

Hippies were everywhere, straights were still obsessed with two things...Cutting my hair and sending me into a jungle with a rifle.

But we still had Cream in our lives and it was good.


This is the original from 66

Ginger Baker, what a cool name for a drummer!

If you can find the movie named something like "Watch Out for Mr Baker," it let's the world know not to come knocking on his door in South Africa. At least during the period that the movie was being made.

I must have been spending the summer in Portugal when this band burst upon the scene, as they said once upon a time.
Oh, the harshness. Hardly, I was a lucky kid in some ways.

Of course I finally had no more ways of dodging the clutches of The American Machine (at its worst. Soo bad that this machine learned nothing from our defeat in Southeast Asia. We are doing the same thing in Southwest Asia, and perhaps even more cruelly.)

This is off topic, again. Arrgh.


 
Hippie days gone past


What a classic! Grace Slick, always wondered if that was her real last name, is so young and comely in this video. Age can be SO cruel to women, you wouldn't recognize her now. All the same, her head seems to be in a very good place.

Adding:
I took trips about twenty five times. I sincerely wish that I stopped after the first one. Chasing an original high is pure futility. I wasn't anywhere near wise enough to put that into practice.

tragic song about the male condition trying to build a life only to find loneliness and despair. Most of us have been "sitting at the dock at the bay" at one point ore another.

One of the rock classics .along with an instrumental that is the bomb" as George would say.Rock out, boys!

I never realized that "Layla when back to Eric and the D.
It's on half his albums or maybe it just seems that way. They invented the term "Classic" for music like this.
 
The timeless technical master Jeff Beck, and my absolute favorite cover of "'Cause We've Ended As Lovers". George, you will love the bass playing of Tal Wilkenfeld. She was 20 years old here, and already considered to be one of the most exciting bass players in the world:
She simply glows with vivacious humor and joy.
( Well she is standing next to Beck and holding her own..at 20 you say, Amazing.
 
And what you also may not know is that the second guitar line in Layla was played by none other than the late Duane Allman, who so impressed Clapton that he publicly said something to the effect that 'Duane is the finest blues/rock guitarist around'.

He had a pedigree: Wilson Pickett, Boz Scaggs, and Aretha Franklin all used him as their session guitarist, among many others. All this was before the Allman Brothers Band stole our hearts.

A man after my own heart but aren't they a bit young! lol
Yes, you have to raise them to appreciate the the glory of aging.
But perhaps the mere sight of us will do the trick.":O}

Be warned, we may not have the back ground the
girl shouts are looking for...But girl scouts don't have much back ground at all. I have socks older than most of them! Which is why they take so much raising.

I run into the stutters in about one in twenty songs. If you want to hear something really badly you can Google .

I can usually find one that does work. I have to go looking for a sub when I'm posting about one in ten times.
It's a pita, but it's for music for my friends so I don't mind....except when I can find one that plays.

Then I resort to listening to your music.":O}

Have you not seen my Avatar? I use this Avatar as it hides my age. It adorns me with a rare beauty I alas no longer posses. Women go for my Avatar, not so much my actual continence.

In my Dreams I hear Grace slick asking if I was once as beautiful as my Avatar.
I bury my head in my pillow and Lie to Grace I tell her flat out Yes.
But in my dream she knows it isn't true.

My wife at 66 still holds for me my very definition of famine beauty.

She has shaped my sense of beauty since I first met her/ I don't see her as she once was but as she stands before me now. And I fall in love all over again.

What ever a woman's virtue, accomplishment. sacrifice or appearance; her beauty must come from her heart.
For it is in a womans heart that we find her. In a womans heart that we are found.

This being so I enjoin you to hear what My man Percy has to say on the subject:
