...Another Park, Another Sunday
Much of the music of any era concerns wanting love, getting it or losing it. There is then much to pick from. I posted this link because I have always liked the song, think the group is as relevant as they have ever been and think the concert (and the DVD) are very well done.
Finding this clip from the Wolf Trap appearance provoked memories, memories that many of us undoubtedly have experienced in our own way. I also thought that the group may not be familiar to some and likewise the tune (flip side to Blackwater). I wanted to encourage others to find them and to enjoy this particular song, one that I have always found to be a poignant catalyst for remembering what can sometimes be painful to recall. It was also a welcome break from the grim condition of the country that concerns me daily.
A philosophical moment, I guess.
I'll try not to let it happen again.
And Now For Something Different
Jefferson Starship
A great song, and because of some lyrics, banned on many stations. Expressed a nice sentiment. Delicious really.
This is the uncensored version.

I listened to this again many times tonight. It's one of my all-time favorite songs. These times are full of what humans are good at - vicious stupidity, vicious hate and an indifference to collective well-being. Reading the comments, I was gratified to see some remnants of sensitive humanity.
I shudder for this country's future.

The comment above is more true today than when I wrote it. The dems are far from ideal but the repukes WILL destroy the country if they get power!

Paul Kantner is gone. He was one of the founders of this!

So, I'm listening to "Jane" again because, as I said, it's a major favorite. The song ends and the usual YT screen comes up with suggestions.
One of them was a how-to video for the song with a singer's name I had not seen before. I decided to watch expecting to only spend a few seconds on the "tutorial."
WRONG! WATCH THIS!
(There are more videos on YT. She obviously deserves a major opportunity).
