Jimi Hendrix died just 3 weeks after Janis Joplin.
Jimi Hendrix ~ All Along the Watchtower

Nirvana:  Yeah, I was there.  We all wept for months after that.  Too much shock in too little time for our drug ridden minds.

b'dessi, did you read my Tirade message?  I worked really hard on that, and I think it might have gotten buried.

TexasToest:
you were in London when Hendrix died ?

awesome:  No, not physically in London, but I was of the age, at the time, to be totally striken by his death - by their deaths.  As you know, we astral-planed at the drop of a hat, so maybe I WAS in London after all.  Didn't make me quite what I was doing at the time, but we were invincible then! 

But, their music became oh, so much more important to me.  Still is!  Hey!  Does anyone have that remastered collection of Hendrix' that his family put out?

John Lennon would of been 66 today

MadMonkey: yet another tragic loss.

The Beatles ~ I am the Walrus

Thanks for bringing that up, Hunkey.  Tears came up behind my eyes when I read that.  I've not been awake long, and I hadn't thought about it before.  I will burn my candle for him, perhaps we all will.  Candles for John

awesome: thanks for that...probably my all time favorite song...and a beautiful video!

baddessi: Wasn't it? I had a tear or two. I've been crying a lot the last few days, wonder what that's all about? Maybe that I seem to be singing again? Maybe that my voice seems stronger? Maybe that I could sing along with that song, and not miss a grace note? Maybe!

TexasToest:
Maybe!!!!!

12th October 1997, US singer songwriter John Denver was killed when the light aircraft he was piloting crashed into Monterey Bay, California. Denver was aged 53.

John Denver ~ Annie's Song

awesome:  Texans def. bigger'n life.  That girl had music in every cell.  She's sorely missed.  Thank you for that link.

He's been gone 9 years now.  Young'n wudd'n he?  Any opinions on where he would be musically today had he not died?

Tuesday:  Now, there's an interesting thought.  I hadn't considered that.  Or, was he too much a California type guy who never wants to leave his native land?  It's like they get their feet stuck in a fissure after an earthquake, and can't get away!

Here's an interesting story about his death, Denver's that is.  I wonder if the family knew this? 

that the manufacturer wasn't at fault, but they got all the publicity.  Well, publicity, the very nature is good, whether good news or bad.

No, I don't remember that controversy.  Fill us in?

I'm going to leave it, it's there to make a point in the conversation.  I believe everyone knows who owns the copyright, but I will look for it and post it later.

Well, you can't mistake those lyrics.  I believe I do remember all that, and I was actually surprised he know what high was.  He was so clean-cut, and "regular" looking.  Hmmmmm, fire in the sky, was he having visions of his own death?

Tuesday: Probably a sunset, given how far west Colorado is.

This caught my attention:

Aoi-san ~ Trailer Gedo Senki

'serenitydragon' posted a translation of the lyrics, if you scroll down a bit.

Nirvana: Interesting. Very good art work, and a lovely voice telling the story. Thanks for that, Nirvana.

Not Freddy Fender.  Noo, no no!!!

baddessi:

The next one on the list was "Who Were You Thinking Of" with Freddy and none other than Flaco Jimenez, and the guy who brought it all together, Doug Sahm. 

At first, when I saw the beginning of the article, I thought   Take it off the music board.  But, since there was music in the clip, I changed my mind.  I couldn't see to click delete, and left it here for the rest of you to see.  Mutual trust is a universal topic.  Thank you, awesome.

awesome:

Thank you for sharing that.

Nirvana: awesome, that was a terrific story and video, thank you

Oh yeah!  Did you remember all the lyrics?  Hmmmm?  I DID!  I had this sudden realization.....while he is always right on with the lyrics (no liberties), you never know what the tune will be.  The band, waaaaaay more anal than the artist himself carries the tune, but the man takes all kinds of liberties.  Can't sing?  Sure he can!  It's just a different tune every time.  He IS consistant with the key, I suppose because he can't argue with the band - and his fingers go to the same strings with no thought from him.

What a nice visit.  At one point, I invisioned sitting at a table with my friend the guitar player in LA, and holding up a sheet of paper to him with the name of THAT song on it, and saying, "Our play list." Hahahaha!

Thanks, Nirvana.  It's always nice to be reminded who you are.

Tuesday:

Yes.
Deacon Blue ~ Real Gone Kid

This may explain why you never heard of them, but Deacon Blue.  This page also explains the Steely Dan connection.

I had never heard of them, but when you wrote Deacon Blue, I was sure I had.  Like you, I was thinking of the Steely Dan lyrics.

TexasToest: Ah Deacon Blue a very famous Scottish band from over here, superb band

bouncybouncy: So I heard! Most of us here were unaware of them, but I'd like to hear more.

yep, it was one of the good pop 80's bands... They were very popular here, and we still hear their songs at some clubs... And I never forget them when I play as DJ at 80´s parties...

...Like Prefab Sprout, Icicle Works, Talk Talk, Tears for Fears...

I know Tears for Fears.  I gotta check out the others.  But later, I gotta get an address for my business, vote, and get something to EAT!!!!

Tuesday: Oh ya!  Soooo 80s music " everyyyy boddddy want to rulllle the worrrrrld!!"
