I served with your father in VMA-121 in Chu Lai, RVN. He was a a True Marine. Sorry for your loss.

I am always blown away listening to Janis. Her instrumentals alone are incredible but when she sings it's as if my heart hears every note and my body/being is taken away to a place more beautiful than words....

Hey Mike, Was that Ted I heard on spoons in the background? Great job, for the fifteenth time.. Enjoy your playing..

After three tours in Vietnam and a world of living, I still call out Puff's name and look for Unicorns. A Dragon lives forever and so do little boys, if you want them to. Don't ever give up your youth or your dreams. PP & Mary( God be with you Mary, the angels already are) gave us many sides ...

After Valerie Rose's death in 2007 Phoebe dedicated all of her performances to her daughter. She had trouble sometimes doing live performances because she would be thinking of Valerie Rose. That won't happen anymore. She is with her daughter forever now. We will miss you terribly, Phoebe, but y...

1965 - Senior in HighSchool in SB cruising the gut up State Street to the Blue Onion after dancing at the REC center. Beach Boys on the radio. Life was simpler then. One year later in Vietnam for two tours with the Marines but still playing the Beach Boys when I could. Almost fifty years gone by...

These are the days before AutoTune and Lip Syncing. Pure sounds that we grew up with .1964 was a junior/senior in High School. Surfing from Santa Barbara to Malibu. Cruising State Street up to the Blue Onion Drive-In with your honey and the Beach Boy's on the radio. OMG how good it was!!! Take...

The Rec Center in Santa Barbara, Friday Nites after the football game doing the Stroll to Gene Chandler Duke of Earl then slow dancing, holding your girl close to the Five Satins In the Still of the Night... Those were the days... Where have they gone???

This is the seventh track on the Celtic Requiem album by William Coulter and Mary McLaughlin. It is one of the most hauntingly beautiful albums I have ever heard. In 2005 I sailed from Ventura, California to Opua, Bay of Islands, New Zealand aboard my trimaran, Moxie and this was my favorite mu...

I have this album... What a trip! Such a beautiful woman but such a sad story of her life..

@xpac5896 In '69 I was just out of the Marine Corps and two tours in the Nam. I spent that summer in my VW bus with my dog travelling the California Coast and Oregon trying to come back home. I was lucky enough to be in Big Sur that beautiful September weekend to be part of one of the most ma...

@madmanmantra Worked for the USFS in Sweet Home for 5 years, not Bly. Worked at Yonna Valley Ranch outside of Bonanza as a ranch hand running 650+ head of mixed Black/White face and Hereford cross with Santa Gertrudis and some big Angus and Charlie bulls...Made the run to Bly many times haulin...

dmwnc1959 - another difference is the voice. In the 2000 live you can, as you say, hear "the years and tears". It is said that she started smoking to deepen her voice. This it has done... Both are as beautiful and haunting as it gets. Younger or Older, Joni will lead my list any day. I saw ...

Before I shipped of to Vietnam the summer of '66 I saw Steven Still with Buffalo Spingfield at the Whiskey, again in Big Sur summer of 1969 with CSNY right after my discharge from the Marines and then again in Portland, Ore in 1977 but never, never have I seen him shred and rip as he does here on...
