I hope that Marianne responds well. She has had a lot of medical issues over the years. Carrie Anne by the Hollies is about her, so says Graham Nash.


Old people, do better on vintage tube hospital equipment.

Unfortunately, some of our older music icons are in the most at risk age bracket. Even if it's not the virus that gets them, we are losing a few. Hell, I ain't no icon, but at 74.8 y/o, I'm gettin' close.

Saturday Reprise.

John Lennon used to say that he couldn't play the best but he could make a good noise. Some musicians simply have music dripping out of them. Graham Nash is like that. He can take a simple song and make it warm your heart.



The back story to Our House.



His first band was The Hollies. School friends that knew how to take raw playing, much like The Beatles and turn it into a great song. It has to start with a very good song though. I've come to believe that a great sound that catches listeners ears is not perfection, but the combination of rawness that creates something that is greater than the sum of the parts. This song demonstrates that.

Great tune, and Bonnie Raitt really did some of my favorite arrangments of that classic.

Between her voice and incredible guitar playing she is an unbeatable musician in my book. I find I am drawn to her style and awed by her talent much the same way I am with Sheryl Crow. Both are phenomenal artists IMO.

Can you take me back where I came from.

 

[beans-on-toast]

Another exception artist. It comes from inside, either you have it or you don't.

 

[Jeff Scott]

Fun videos, beans! Especially, the Laurel Canyon one.

 

[alaskaleftybass]

Bonnie's voice makes me melt. What a gorgeous, and forgive me, but, sexy voice. Agree too that Sheryl Crow is incredible. Loved the Beatles Take me Back. I love them more now than when I was young. They seemed to be chasing the music trends more than creating them--BUT-- them spreading new trends influenced the world because of their global status... so there's that-- six of one or a half dozen...

To me that thought right there captures the most sgnificant difference bewteen folks who I see as exceptional artists and those who are just good performers.

Oy vay Oh yeah, love the very early LP Custom (rectangular alnico magnets pickups).
