The day the music died.

Back in early December.....my wife and I were in Claremont Calif. Walked into the Folk Music Center that has been there for years. The store is now owned by Ben Harper and his mother runs the place. Anyways......I was looking at guitars and in walks Ben and Jackson Browne......they picked up a couple guitars and played "These Days"......how cool! After I talked to both.....told Jackson I saw him with David Lindley at the Four Muses in Orange Co. back in 1970 before he ever signed a record contract. He laughed........Jackson looks a lot older.......me too!!!!

I liked Jackson Browne's music, but also liked him because he's the main reason the rest of the world got to hear Warren Zevon.

Last vid clip I saw of Jackson he was playing a tribute to Warren, just a few years back.

We all look older, but that sure beats the alternative.....

Rgds, D.

I’d rather look younger......

Something tells me that is not the alternative you were thinking

Yeppers, I still listen to all three.

59 years later and people still recognize their names. Heck I met people last week and forgot their name. Something to be said about that! :laughing:

For me, it was a far simpler and carefree time in my life. Those old songs just bring back all those fond memories.

I was a David Ruffin fan, and at first didn't think Edwards measured up - but he grew on me.

In Cleveland, the best place to see any soul groups was Leo's Casino, but down the street was the Versaille Motor Lodge. It was maybe six floors, and the top floor was the lounge. One night my wife and I stopped in to see the Supremes. They did their first set, and at the break, walked around the audience welcoming them and then sat at a table in the far corner, with at least a couple of guys. After the break, the Supremes came back to the stage, did a song, and then Diana Ross said they wanted to introduce the "newest members" of the group. From the corner table came two guys who put on blonde wigs and came up on stage - David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks! They all did "Stop, In The Name of Love" - it was a GREAT show!

Wow, that brought back memories. Thanks for sharing. Buddy Holly was so influential, one can only imagine what the music would have been however good, make that excellent after he died? There are some good bio's on him if you do a search.

Thinking about that last comment about an update to include some of the other events we have endured. I think that the talent is out there to put it together. Change is so rapid these days, where to start? Blowin' in the wind I guess?
