50 years ago this week….
-
I came across this interview with Art Garfunkle on the PBS Newhour this evening. I like what Art said about his beautiful music, “it’s another place”, like it comes from somewhere out of this world or has the power to take you to another place.
-
The beauty of the Mona and Lisa twins is they know how beautiful this music is from the 60’s to 70’s and they are showing us how much they love this music and I Feel a lot of the music from this period will live on forever. And OH My such great memories for me, back in a time when all the people I love were still living and sharing these songs with them makes me feel great. Listening to This Boy by the twins brings back beautiful memoires of me listening with a AM radio and my grand mother sitting with me with tears in her eyes saying how beautiful of a song it is. So Mona and Lisa breathe new life into songs to bring us back to wonderful times in our lives for sure, thank you so much Mona and Lisa you both are god given talents for us to enjoy.

Indeed Bill! Couldn’t agree with you more.

50 years ago this week, people were listening to George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord” as it hit the charts.
-
Chicago introduced their big song “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It is?”
-
That Chicago song has a really unique swing to it. And it contains what has to be in the running for the most inefficiently constructed phrase ever written: “a man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was on my watch”. I always picture English teachers cringing at that line.
-
David, that is a very inefficient phrase now that you point it out. I guess they weren’t very poetic. I always admire people who are eloquent in their speech and writing.

50 years ago this month, The Doors would do their final concert in New Orleans. A few months later, Jim Morrison dies of an overdose.
-
On the PBS News Hour this weekend they featured a short interview with Doors drummer John Densmore who just published a book “The Seekers”. The books is effectively “notes on how to live creatively on planet earth”. In the interview John says what he learned from all the great creative artists he associated with in his life is that “they were more interested in the creative path than the prizes bestowed on them for what they created…” It’s an interesting and insightful interview.

How about Gordan Lightfoot? If you can read my mind? 1970 had a lot of great songs again a spill over from the 60’s to me. Chicago was the group that year. Carpenters also were big and Karen Carpenter had such a lovely voice and if you get a chance? UTube her playing drums, wow she was very good.
