Sad story...JIM CROCE

cool thanks ... can't read it now, but i know he died in the early 70s, in a plane crash. If I recall, his wife Ingrid still runs some club, possibly in california someplace. She actually recorded some songs/albums w/ Jim back in the day.

It's just a brief five minute video describing the above w/pics and film.
His son A.J. eventually became a musician, and while I know nothing about his music, he's the spitting image of his dad looks wise.

King Crimson - The Power To Believe

Ok no more fooling around w you guys.
You're welcome.

Little Richard - Keep a Knockin'
[www.youtube.com]

Elvis is the once and future King; i don't have a shred of doubt.

Here's the mother trukkn Mother-Deity that casually squatted behind a bush while taking a break from washing dishes at the Howard Johnsons...
...the air turned acrid then at once a flash...then a POP and some smoke and out it came wailing and could not be denied.
Ask Bobby Dylan if you don't believe your humble servant here...
a quick spate of ferocious slammer on Specialty and truly the earth shook.
A zillion pretenders goin' on benders...

Rippin this joint till this world explodes.
Ain't nothing quite like this happened ever before...
round and round and round we go...

I think probably the most awesome title of a recorded project ever relased was probably:
Here's Little Richard...

cuz wtf u gonna say?
took him all of two minutes and ten seconds to do this, and he didn't need the extra ten seconds...

If I were you, and I am at this level, I'd get up and just stand there.
that's it.
see what happens.

The Moving Sidewalks (feat. Billy Gibbons pre-ZZ Top)- Joe Blues




"Billy Gibbons and his old psychedelic band The Moving Sidewalks had a rare honor of opening for Jimi Hendrix on his very first headlining US tour.
This trek sparked a friendship that was crowned with Jimi giving young Billy a special gift - a pink Strat". Billy

I was a big fan of PPM when I was a kid of ten. Actually their work introdued me directly to Bob Dylan. The rest of the world too. They scored huge with "Blowin' In The Wind" as a hit single, unusal for strictly sepaking folk-music act.
They were really a significant entry-point to record-collecting for me, and very early on, when I was still buying my first singles...they were all over the radio nationally...

....All I had in the way of LP's was Dion's Runaround Sue LP, which I still have...along with Liver Than You'll Ever Be; all I have left of thousand or so LPs....they went to a grand place tho...maybe that West Side Story movie soundtrack too. That's where I started, tho I had heard a LOT of early rock from older cousins....
...
Their "Moving" LP was a seminally imporant one for me.
They introduced me heaviy; they were a stand-out hit cross-over act somehow.

They'd have more 'pop' hits too. The folk music scene was huge; I was just a kid of ten or under but you couldn't really miss it. The Kingston Trio were Godz, tho their stuff never really held me...

I liked a lot of 'contempoary' folk music at the time very much; PPM were the absolute Kings as far as visibility, quaity material and performance and the ability to crossover to different demographics.

Yes Mary was stunningly beautiful. And also sick a really, really long time. Sadder than sad really. They were all, well Peter Yarrow and Paul Stooky are still alive and performing actually! Amazing what they did with two acoustic and three singers...Ten million girls all over the world started flat-iroing their hair. It was THE look.

They were Bob Dylan's big break actually. HIS sales were nada; he might have even been dropped by Columbia; but NOT with a big hit single he wrote on the charts.
I think it was 30 or 40 Thousand he pocketed and he was stunned. It was a fortune to him.

They, apparently, dug rock and roll music too. ... in a way...
[www.youtube.com]

"...and if I really say it
the radio won't play it
unless I lay it
between the lines..."

there's a live LP version of this I can't find. Paul Stookey beings with a long narration comedy piece about rock and rollers and it's charming and really, really funny. I guess that LP is long out of print. They have a Lot of great songs I love; they play really really good guitar, both of them...

There versio of Don't Think Twice It's Alright is creme de la creme, top of the pops folk stuff; reall sung, picked and harmonized just beautifully. I mean the production is STILL sterling. really so...

Ironically this is the anniversay of Dr. King's speech at the March on Washington; they were just the premier act and musical soul of that huge historic gathering. A really important and wonderful American Folk act fo sho...
love 'em. still. it holds up for me. This was my first real influence that got me into guitar actually. Talk about the 'weave' !!

For Baby (For Bobby) also written by John Denver, is just lovely. It's the basis for me wanting, and scoring my first acoustic guitar about the age of 13 or so...three years later; it's the Fender and look out Pete Townshend...!!!

Sure wish I sitll had that live lP. "I Dig R&R Music" on that is just hysterical and precious. Paul is also quite the humorist, satirst and comedian.
It's an affectionate joke at our expense; it comes off charming and funny though;
then they REALLLY lean into it. Rock it up, shake their heads, growl and howl; it's grand grand stuff and the audience is eating it up, laughing and clapping. They all let their hair down and shooby shooby doo waaahhhh, shaking their heads and getting it really on, cause they are great singers and players and COULD...and DID...haha

...Grand stuff. All the way thorugh great LPs imfo. Love 'em. Peter and Paul still gig!!

And yes sadly, Mary suffered greatly. She lost her youthful slimness due to illness and still hung in there performing solo like a champ and a heroine of grand grace.
This was an important act that really was influential and made a differnce.

I've been listening all through posting this; and the production is powerful and transparent; I mean contemporary artists making records could learn an encyclopedia from listening to the simple sonic care that was taken with their records.
And it was THEM, not The Byrds, that first brought a Bob Dylan song, not only notariety, but to the top of the charts! They likely saved his record deal because his first LP were all covers (I think) and it didn't sell shit at first (I know)...these were grand and great times to jump into the music scene as a kid. First quality all the way.
