 ฺBS&T -Jeez, we used to sing that catchy line at school- 'you made me so very happy' must have heard it on a sampler or as a single, a great line.

Another great Santana performance from the 18.8.70 concert at Tanglewood.  The last comment in the comment section puts it rather nicely . . . better than I could:  This is why we fell in love with Santana. Multi-racial, true musicians to the core, playing music like we never heard before, no words, just undeniable rythyms and beats that moved our souls. More than a "soul sacrifice" it is a "soul rebirth."  Amen, sister.

Jimi live at Cafè A Go-Go, New York, March 17, 1968.  The whole, 49 minute set.  Oftentimes it's hard to find really good audio quality with Jimi on YT, so enjoy this one.

Johnny and Edgar performing Tobacco Road live at the 7.3.70 Olympic Auditorium show in L.A.  Features some nice sax.  Some beautifully serious and guitar wailing starts around the 5:00 mark.

Ricky Lee Jones off of her self-titled debut from '79, The Last Chance Texaco.

 

 

Been a long time since I listened to her.  She put out some exceptional music.  Most will certainly remember her from this tune.

Richie Havens on Follow off his '66 Mixed Bag LP.  Written by Jerry Merrick.  Nowhere can you find lyrics so beautiful in today's music.  The 60's more so than any era produced some of the finest lyrics in music, IMHO.

 

 

Lyrics
Let the river rock you like a cradle
Climb to the treetops, child, if you're able
Let your hands tie a knot across the table.
Come and touch the things you cannot feel.
And close your fingertips and fly where I can't hold you
Let the sun-rain fall and let the dewy clouds enfold you
And maybe you can sing to me the words I just told you,
If all the things you feel ain't what they seem.
And don't mind me 'cos I ain't nothin' but a dream.
The mocking bird sings each different song
Each song has wings - they won't stay long.
Do those who hear think he's doing wrong?
While the church bell tolls its one-note song
And the school bell is tinkling to the throng.
Come here where your ears cannot hear.
And close your eyes, child, and listen to what I'll tell you
Follow in the darkest night the sounds that may impel you
And the song that I am singing may disturb or serve to quellyou
If all the sounds you hear ain't what they seem,
Then don't mind me 'cos I ain't nothin' but a dream
The rising smell of fresh-cut grass
Smothered cities choke and yell with fuming gas
I hold some grapes up to the sun
And their flavour breaks upon my tongue.
With eager tongues we taste our strife
And fill our lungs with seas of life.
Come taste and smell the waters of our time.
And close your lips, child, so softly I might kiss you,
Let your flower perfume out and let the winds caress you.
As I walk through the garden, I am hoping I don't miss you
If all the things you taste ain't what they seem,
Then don't mind me 'cos I ain't nothin' but a dream .
The sun and moon both arise
And we'll see them soon through days and nights
But now silver leaves are mirrors, bring delights.
And the colours of your eyes are fiery bright,
While darkness blinds the skies with all its light.
Come see where your eyes cannot see.
And close your eyes, child, and look at what I'll show you;
Let your mind go reeling out and let the breezes blow you,
And maybe when we meet then suddenly I will know you.
If all the things you see ain
quote t what they seem,
Then don't mind me 'cos I ain't nothin' but a dream .
And you can follow; And you can follow; follow...
