Remembering John Lennon\
(click to listen)
on the 30th anniversery of his murder

Celebrating the life of John Lennon. Here are some recordings from my collection which tell a story, not just of John Lennon's music, but also about John Lennon the person. I've included 7 intervies, a rare recording of Lennon's piano work prior to the Imagine Album. As well as several post-Beatles recordings. My favorite is the MSG recording as I was at that show. I don't usually put video on this website because of the bandwidth but I've included a 24 minute video of John Lennon sitting in with Frank Zappa at the Fillmore East in NYC. I've also included the only known recording of Lennon and McCartney playing together after the Beatles breakup.

You are missed John

I've finally digested all the turkey, stuffing and pie.
I've avoided all shopping malls, stores and commercial media for the last three days, in favor of my guitar and a good book.

One of the 'round to it's' I didn't get to yesterday was a YMSK posting in celebration of

JIMI HENDRIX's
68th BIRTHDAY

 

So I'll do it today
After all these years I am still awed every time I listen to Hendrix play. He was an absolute master who has influenced countless musicians.

Listen to

Some Early

With October drawing to a close,
I thought of the 1964 Dylan Haloween show from Carmegie Hall.
While looking for it, I found these other early Dylan recordings
I've been meaning to post for years.
Here they are for your listening pleasure.

I hope you enjoy them!

Happy Haloween!

Maria Muldaur

I've always liked her music. I lived on Mission Hill in Boston back in the day. Jim Kweskin was my neighbor. It was with his jug band I first heard Maria. Later, I saw her at U Mass when Midnight at the Oasis was popular.

Maria was in town a few weeks ago. I wanted to go but life got in the way. I just got two recordings from her current tour so I figured it would be a good "excuse" to feature some of her music.

Listen to a recording from 1972 when she opened for Bonnie Raitt

a recording from 1974 at a club called Ebbetts Field

and two recordings made in september on her current tour.

Happy New Years Day Here are a few more good old recordings for the New Year!
	The Beatles Decca Auditions. On Jan 1 1962, Decca Records A&R head, Dick Row,e established his place in history when he turned down four liverpool musicians called The Beatles. After the audition Rowe told Brian Epstein "Groups of guitars are on the way out. " You really should stick to selling records. " Instead, Rowe Signed Brian Poole & the Tremeloes, who had auditioned the same day, because they lived closer to London. Rowe quickly made up for his misstep by signing the Rolling Stones to Decca... on George Harrison's advice. (This is actually only 9 of the original 15 tracks which were submitted for audition. I'd be very interested in a complete recording if you have a copy!)	Jan 1, 1962
Set 1   Set 2	Grateful Dead Dillon Stadium, Hartford. with the Allman Brothers Band. According to the book Long Strange Trip, this show inspired the Watkins Glen concert which featured the Dead, Allmans, and the Band Dicky Betts and Jerry Garcia I was at this show with my college room mate Rob, and Moodus' brother Paul. For years I've looked for a copy of this show, and I beleive this is most of it. While I confess my memory of this event could be extremely 'altered', I remember them playing "Mountain Jam" which is not on either of these disks. Thanks to Paul of 'Twist and Shout Records' for this recording.	7-16-72
Disk 1 Disk 2	Jerry Jeff Walker And David Bromberg WBAI NY WBAI was one of the 'Non Commercial' so called 'underground' radio stations in NY in the 60's. This chestnut was recorded on a Sony TC-360 Reel to Reel and transfered to digital several years ago.	1967

"Marketing and Pornography are both forms of free speech"

_______________________________Bruce Harley

The results of the election are in. Here in the Granite State a bunch of climate change denyers have won the day.

I've got an idea!!! I heard on the internet that gravity is a left wing conspiracy.

So lets do a test.... I'll hold a rock in the air. Let's vote on what will happen when I let go.

Of course, that's absurd, we can't vote to suspend gravity,... well we can but it will not change the objective reality.

Similarly we can vote for morons who don't want to face the economic realities of climate change. Their policies will not change the objective reality, which is, humans are causing climate change and sticking our head(s) in the sand will not change that objective reality.

It is noteworthy that since September 09, there are more troops under arms than there were when George Bush was president.

This is an errie reminder of Viet Nam.

John's Hopkins Study Claims 650,000 Civilian Iraqi Deaths

"The peer-reviewed study, led by researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, is based on information (including death certificates, in most cases) from a sample of 1,849 households in 16 of Iraq's 18 provinces and extrapolated for the nation-a practice used in other areas hit by wars or epidemics. Some researchers said the small sample size and sample locations could have distorted the outcome. The study had a range of deaths from 426,000 to 793,000, with a 95 percent statistical confidence level."

This is the same statistical methods which have been used previously in the Baalkans and Africa. The same statistical methods that yielded results accepted by GWB I and Margaret Thatcher.
