OT: ABC's of Music

And going back into the way back machine for a very energetic song from a roots of rock duet. "Thou Shall Not Steal" from Dick and Dee Dee.

I had the distinct (dubious?) pleasure of seeing them around 1986. That was a memorable show. A colorful band called Baby Opaque opened for them. Those folks were a blast.

Z - "Winter Always Finds Me" - great spacey, moody, fusion jazz by Boulder's Zephyr:

Frank Zappa -- Dupree's Paradise. This is an awesome band -- George Duke, Jean-Luc Ponty, Bruce and Tom Fowler . . .

 
The Bomber—The James Gang (Joe Walsh was a member of this trio; Bolero starts at 3:35)

 
I'll do I and J in one: Janis Ian -- Janey's Blues, the finale on her first album. Amazing how she'd already hit upon the beautiful depressing song by the time she was 15.

I was looking for an opportunity to post one of her songs about a week ago but the letters just didn't work out. I was thinking about her music a couple weeks back and the fact that just about every song she recorded seemed to have this fog of depression surrounding it and wanted to find out whatever happened to her. In truth I was thinking I would find out that she probably offed herself by her thirties.

Instead I found the attached commencement speech that she gave at Berklee Music a couple years ago. Just a great mix of insight and self effacing humor. Worth a listen. So now I think of her music as being wrapped in a fog of self -insightfulness instead of depression. And I'm glad that she is still around.

I haven’t seen that (I will watch it), but have a few DVDs of hers, one of which includes a documentary mini bio. She’s a fascinating person, warm and not maudlin at all, at least in her 60’s. It’s hard to believe that when “At Seventeen” came out, she’d been in the limelight for ten years, including being institutionalized, and she was only 25.
