Larsongs Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 2 hours ago, Sgt. Pepper said: The popular music of the day in the '10 and '20 was Jazz, and not Miles Davis's Jazz. Here are some for the big ones from the '10's and '20's, Louis Armstrong, Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton, Enrico Caruso, Al Jolson Benny Goodman, and Tommy Dorsey. The early Blues from the 20’s was very influential in the 60’s.... Its still great to listen to.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be very true. And Joni Mitchell. Deb named a bunch of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that Stills and the others goaded him into trying out after Stills didn't pass the audition due to his jenky teeth, saying he resembled Stills enough to possibly get the gig.

S'alright, man. 14 hours ago, Retired said: And Joni Mitchell. Deb named a bunch of them. Yep. She hung out for a time at the Troubadour. Not hard to imagine David Crosby among that bunch as well. 11 hours ago, Sgt. Pepper said: The piano and her vocals on the song Court And Spark gives me chills when I listen to it. A lot of Joni's songs do that to me. Especially "Blue" and "Hejira" . Also "Turbulent Indigo". Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to her all the time in the 60's & 70's. Deb said she was the inspiration of many but I have never followed musicians the way she did any most of you guys. Just like Hollywood, I'll watch a film but since I married Deb, I get the lowdown on, Who's who and married to this person, she has theses kids, what their names are, how old they are, how many people they were married to. Its unbelievable of her knowledge. Maybe she belongs on here, she plays piano. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Juan has some good stuff on it but should have been a single LP. I have all of her stuff form Ladies Of The Canyon to Don Juan. Blue and Court are my fav's. Edited May 13, 2021 by Sgt.

Whitefang Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Can't pick a "favorite" but like some JUST a bit more. Like: For The Roses" and "Hejira". "Court And Spark" is on their heels though, and my favorite track on it is "Just Like This Train". Like DYLAN, Joni was great at writing lyrics with vivid mental images.

Whitefang Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I don't think he actually lived there, (not sure) but he did write a tune about it. ( talkin' 'bout John Mayall ) Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
