Terry Reid (feat.David Lindley) - Live Momtreux 1971

       Terry Reid - Guitar/Vocals.David Lindley - Slide guitar.Lee Miles - Bass.Alan White-Drums

What sad news to hear of the passing of my dear friend and former bandmate David Lindley. How blessed I was to have him in my band in the early 70’s. During that time we played the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival and there’s a live album of our show. We went on to play the first Glastonbury Festival too . David was a really gifted musician on any instrument with strings and  was so in-demand that he played with everybody. He made a huge contribution to both my River and Seed of Memory albums. Sincere condolences to his loved ones.Terry Reid

Small Faces


Small Faces were a British rock group from the 1960s. The members were Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, Kenny Jones and Jimmy Winston. Their debut single, "What'cha Gonna Do About It", written by Ian Samwell, was released in 1965 and was a minor hit in their home country. Their next single, "I've Got Mine", failed to chart, and Winston left the band. Ian McLagan took his place, and they had a big hit in England with the song "Sha-La-La-La-Lee".


All or Nothing

The peak of their popularity was in August 1966 when "All Or Nothing" reached the top of the UK charts, subsequently becoming their only No. 1 hit. Their first album was "Small Faces", and proved to be very successful. After moving to the Immediate Records label of Rolling Stones' producer Andrew 'Loog' Oldham, the song they are still known for was released: "Itchycoo Park".


Itschycoo Park
In 1968 their fourth album, Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake, was released, one side of which was based on a fairy tale. The album received very good reviews and reached first place in England. The album also included the previously successful hit single "Lazy Sunday". The sentence "Lazy Sunday afternoon... I've got no mind to worry, close my eyes and drift away...." gives an image of the flower power period 

 

Lazy Sunday
When Marriot suddenly left the band in 1969 and formed Humble Pie, the rest of the members attempted to continue Small Faces, recruiting Rod Stewart and Ron Wood. Shortly afterwards they changed their name to The Faces.

Van Morrison - Gloria/Cyprus Avenue

                         Don Kirschner,s Rock Concert Shrine Auditorium Los Angeles (4-18 1973)

Van Morrison-vocals,David Hayes-bass,Jack Schoers - sax,Tim Kovacs -violin,John Platania -guitar,

                            Dahoud Shaar -drums,Bill Atwood -trumpet ,James Trumbo - keys. 

                                               Gloria

 The Caledonia Soul Orchestra was the band created by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison in 1973. The band was named after an eighteen-minute instrumental outtake on the His Band and the Street Choir album.

     Cyprus Avenue

 In 1973 Van Morrison and the Caledonia Soul Orchestra went on a three-month tour of the United States and Europe, the result of which was the live double album It's Too Late to Stop Now. The title is taken from the last line in the lyrics of one of Morrison's songs, "Into the Mystic" from the 1970 Moondance album. In live performances with the Caledonia Soul Orchestra, he would close the concert with a lengthened version of the Astral Weeks song "Cyprus Avenue" and then shout out "It's too late to stop now!" as he exited the stage. 

  I was lucky that I saw Van Morrison with his Caledonia Soul Orchestra perform in De Doelen in Rotterdam that same year, a beautiful stage. It was my first VM concert, many more would follow, about 30 times. The last was at North Sea Jazz 2023 also in Rotterdam.

                                          David Olney R.I.P. (March 23,1948 -Jan 18.2020)

Had the pleasure to see David Olney perform several times during his visits to the Netherlands, including in Theater De Wegwijzer. Beautiful songs and,  a very sympathetic personality. Unfortunately, he passed away unexpectedly during a performance in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, on January 18, 2020, at the age of seventy-one. He was in the middle of his third song when he stopped, apologized and shut his eyes, according to fellow musician Scott Miller, who was accompanying Olney



Mr Vermeer (taped by Ane)

 One of the most beautiful songs from the David Olney album "Dutchman Curve" He wrote at Joanna Serraris' kitchen table after seeing Girl With A Pearl Earring in the Mauritshuis. With an image of this Vermeer painting in front of him, this song came to life…


Covington Girl (taped by Ane) album "Dutchman Curve"

      She Took Of My Romeos

The inspiration behind She Took off My Romeos came from David Lindley’s personal experiences with heartbreak and the end of a once beautiful relationship. The song serves as a cathartic expression of his emotions and a way to connect with others who have gone through similar experiences.

El Rayo-X is David Lindley's debut studio album, released in 1981. The album spent 18 weeks on the Billboard 200, peaking at No. 83 on July 16, 1981.

                                 David Perry Lindley (March 21, 1944 - March 3, 2023) 

 Lindley died after a long illness on March 3, 2023, at the age of 78. He had COVID-19 in 2020, which his family said developed into Long COVID, with chronic kidney damage.

The Boz Scaggs Band - I,ll Be Long Gone

The Boz Scaggs band performs a gospel-tinged classic during one of the final five nights of shows leading up the closing of San Francisco's Fillmore West on July 4, 1971

   I,ll Be Long Gone

Boz Scaggs is the second studio album by American musician Boz Scaggs, released in 1969 by Atlantic Records. A stylistically diverse album, Boz Scaggs incorporates several genres, including Americana, blue-eyed soul, country, and rhythm and blues. The lyrics are about typical themes found in blues songs, such as love, regret, guilt, and loss. Scaggs recorded the album at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio with producer Jann Wenner, the co-founder of Rolling Stone magazine. The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section heavily contributed to the album, which included a young Duane Allman, before his rise to fame with the Allman Brothers Band

Boz Scaggs was mostly ignored by listeners and critics upon release, and only sold around 20,000 copies within its first few years. The critics that did review the album enjoyed it, and commended the musicianship between Scaggs and the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. Boz Scaggs continues to receive praise in retrospective reviews, with some critics calling it an underrated album from the 1960s. In 2012, Boz Scaggs was ranked at number 496 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Walter "Brownie" McGhee - (Don,t)Move to Kansas City

Walter "Brownie" McGhee (November 30, 1915, Knoxville, Tennessee - February 16, 1996, Oakland, California) was an American folk and blues singer and guitarist. He became known for his collaboration with harmonica player Sonny Terry.


 McGhee was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, and was struck by polio as a child. As a result, he had problems walking. Even as a child he devoted a lot of time to music, singing in the Golden Voices Gospel Quartet. He also taught himself to play the guitar. When he was 22, he started traveling as a musician and met Blind Boy Fuller, whose guitar playing had a great influence on him (so much so that McGhee took over Fuller's name after Fuller's death in 1941, and as Blind Boy Fuller II by the life went). During that time, McGhee made several recordings, but greater success did not come until he went to New York in 1942, where he worked with Sonny Terry. Together they experienced great successes that would continue until the early 1970s. When interest in folk music revived in the 1960s, Terry and McGhee were featured guests at concerts and festivals.


         One of McGhee's last concert appearances was at the 1995 Chicago Blues Festival.

    He died of stomach cancer on February 16, 1996, in Oakland, California, at the age of 80
