Put On Yer Headphones

When yer stuck in bed, by yerse'f; done watched the porn and taken care of bidness, it's time to enjoy a bit of moozak. I don't usually listen to olde stuff, I heerd it enuf when I was young....but I stumbled upon the two below.

In the first, Phil Graham's comments about "what draws" resonated; it was true of the art business. But I refused to sell "what sold"... except for a few prints by the child wonder: Alexandra Nechita (wiki article).   (Ms. Nechita's website)





Anyway....


After seeing Mr. Graham, you may wanna skip to 6:35, when Eight Miles High starts.


The Byrds *Eight Miles High* at Fillmore East 1970
 (preceded by *Jesus is Just Alright)




In *Whiter Shade of Pale* (below) with the Danish National Concert Orchestra, I was instantly smitten with the choral singer at 4:46.




We head to Salida today for the FIBark (First in Boating on the Arkansas River) Festival. We're eager to see the SUP boxing. (link is to video from 2018.)

  1. Love the live, L O N G versions. Something seldom heard on AM/FM back then. Iron Butterflys In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida helped change that.

    1. Yes, and it's exciting to see the talent in "real life."

      Did you notice the posting date? This was nearly 50 years ago!! I wonder how long it's been available to the public?
