Jackson Brown & David Lindley - For A Dancer

                                                      Philadelphia, PA 2006-08-19

    For A Dancer (album Late For The Sky )

I wrote the song For A Dancer for a friend of mine who died in a fire. He was in the sauna in a house that burned down, so he had no idea anything was going on. It was very sad.

Chris Cain & Band - Bluesclub De Viersprong (16 Maart - 2017)

Vorig jaar een van de hoogtepunten op het festival Swing Wespelaar in Belgie.Het was dan ook een aangename verrassing dat op deze koude vrijdagavond Chris Cain in Bluesclub De Viersprong stond geprogrammeerd.

                    Sweet Sixteen

 De zeer sympathieke Chris Cain had er duidelijk zin in deze avand,met als gevolg een bijna 2  uur durend optreden  .Van de eerste tot de laatste minuut boeiend  en zeer geinspereerd   
                     
                      

                  Ain,t Nobody,s Bussines (frament)

De invloed van B.B King is goed merkbaar,o.a door zijn gitaarspel,maar ook zeker door zijn manier van zingen,.

                    That,s why i sing the Blues

Met een hoofdrol voor de keyboardplayer (from Praag) en bassist Walter.
En toen ging de gitaarband kapot.........

/                  Drown In My Own Tears
 De reparatie van de band duurde nog al een tijdje,dus Chris achter de piano.
Met behulp van van de keyboardspeler deze prachtige uitvoering van dit Ray Charles nummer.
Volledig geimproviseerd ,en voor mij een van de hoogtepunten van de avond .

                               

Guess Who

Het was weer een zeer geslaagde avond.Met dank aan de organisatie en hoop dat er nog veel mooie zullen volgen.

Carly Simon You,r so Vain
In January of 1973, You're So Vain was the # 1 hit song on the radio. Carly had just married fellow pop-superstar James Taylor a month before, so when You're So Vain hit the airwaves, it stirred intense curiosity about which one of her previous lovers was the subject of this wry nod to the male ego. click here to read the lyrics
Was it Mick Jagger? Cat Stevens? Warren Beatty? Kris Kristofferson? It was common knowledge that she had been involved with each of them in the past.
Carly has never revealed who she had in mind when she wrote You're So Vain, and over 35 years later, interviewers are still asking her this same question........



Carly Simon met dochter Sally Taylor No Secrets

In het boek"Girls like Us"vertelt Carly over haar huwelijk met James Taylor het volgende:
"I know he had a really tough time with drugs and I had a tough time with his drugs, and I had a tough time with Ben who was very, very sick," recalled Simon. "But I was terribly in love and I got a great deal out of that relationship and ... I don't think I would have changed anything except that I wish that James would have been happier with himself obviously. The breakup of that marriage was incredibly sad and difficult for me."

It,s a Beautiful Day - The Dolphin Song ( 7/7/1970 - Tanglewood - Lenox, MA)

       

                                
It's a Beautiful Day is an American band formed in San Francisco, California, in 1967, featuring vocalist Pattie Santos along with violinist David LaFlamme and his wife, Linda LaFlamme, on keyboards.
David LaFlamme, who as a youth had formerly once performed as a soloist with the Utah Symphony Orchestra, had previously been in the group Orkustra playing five-string violin. The other members of It's a Beautiful Day in its early years were Hal Wagenet (guitar), Mitchell Holman (bass) and Val Fuentes (drums). Although they were one of the earliest and most important San Francisco bands to emerge from 1967's social phenomenon Summer of Love, the band never quite achieved the success of contemporaries such as Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and Santana, with whom they had connections. The band created a unique blend of rock, jazz, folk, classical, and world-beat styles during the initial seven years it was officially together.(Wikipedia)

  The Dophin Song (Fred Neil)

July 5, 1970, the band played the second Atlanta International Pop Festival in Byron, Georgia to an estimated 250,000 people. Pattie Santos sang lead on "White Bird", "Hot Summer Day" and "The Dolphin Song". The band had a regional radio hit with "Don and Dewey". Later that year, the original lineup of the band changed; the LaFlammes had split and Linda left the band, replaced by Fred Webb. The following album, Marrying Maiden, recorded at Pacific High Recording Studio in San Francisco,^[5] released in 1970, was their most successful in the charts. It reached number 28 in the U.S. (their only Top 40 placing)^[2] and number 45 in the U.K.^[3] In that year, the band also performed at the Holland Pop Festival at the Kralingse Bos in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music. Tom Fowler (later bassist for Frank Zappa) and Bill Gregory joined in March 1971, with their first performance broadcast live on San Francisco's KSAN FM radio, with host Tom Donahue introducing them as the band's two new members(Wikipedia)
