  17. Paul Kantner-RIP (JA co-founder) & Grace Slick From "Sunfighter" 1971...Great album Paul Kantner is also (among other things) co-author of Crosby, Stills & Nash "Wooden ships".... Beautiful song....Appearing in their 1st album "Crosby, Stills & Nash" 1969
  18. I can't help but loving this one.....Obviously I know the following is un-original to say ( and likely typical of my age by now....66...) but so be it: They don't make music ( let alone writing that sort of lyrics) like that anymore.....Fact...Which is bad esp for the younger generations....People, parents, older brothers / sisters, uncles, granddads/grandmothers etc need to pass all of that on...It's called CULTURE I ( just a nobody) try to do my very little part in regard to this Craig Chaquico - guitar Papa John Creach (RIP) - fiddle
  19. It's been of course one of the biggest regrets of my life to have been unable to go and see Woodstock....Hard to accomplish task anyway...I was (still am ) living in Italy, was only 12 y.o. at the time, didn't know a single word of English, broke, my parents obviously wouldn't let me etc.....
  20. Woodstock, NY Music Festival & Art Fair mid-Aug 1969 ( that's almost 55 years ago already....)....300,000 attending...... Marty Balin-RIP - lead vocals Grace Slick - co-vocals Awesome song with stunning lyrics...I just love it.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodstock
  21. 1967 track ...Album "Surrealistic Pillow" RIP Paul Kantner & Marty Balin Another manifesto for more than a generation..... US counterculture scene masterpiece Song even appeared on one of the Sopranos episodes and Tony'd hum it ( just before or after killing someone....).....Really strange scene https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Airplane Vocalist Grace Slick ( who became a successful painter) will turn 85 next Oct. 30
  22. Tropical Country The great percussion in track below is typical of the state of Bahia ( beautiful Salvador is the capital...Blackest state of whole country...) It's called batuque https://lyricstranslate.com/en/pais-tropical-tropical-country.html-0 Brazilians often say "Deus e' Brasileiro" ...God is Brazilian...They're very proud of their Country despite all the difficulties and problems.... I love Brazil and its People ( visited twice so far)......Learned some Portuguese too.... I felt sad and sorry when this sinister guy Jair Bolsonaro became President in 2019..... He's an outspoken fascist ( in a Country which has already had a long period of a fascist military dictatorship in the past.......) And not only a fascist but ( even worse) a stupid, ignorant fascist...(Ex) President of the 2nd biggest country in the Americas mind you........ Past year (2022) his mandate expired and he got defeated by fmr. President Lula ...I'm personally happy about that...He was seated Jan 1, 2023...At last Bolsonaro even made the day of the beginning of the dictatorship (which started in the 60's) a celebration day....Unbelievable..... He got back to Brazil ( after 3 months in the States) and (if justice works) he'll have to stand a few trials ( more than one) for a few wrongs of his....We'll see.... Last news...He got banned from participating in presidential elections for the next 8 years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_dictatorship_in_Brazil
