Happy Birthday Bob Marley!

Today is Bob Marley's birthday is reason enough to celebrate his birthday. If you are reading this from a colder climate the tropical vibrations of his music might warm you up. It would be appropriate to celebrate his music and legacy as part of Black History month. I enjoy his positive music, it is music I can share with my child without having to worry about lyrics on most songs. He could write spiritual, political, and songs with so much meaning. I could go on but really his music speaks volumes!"

"Is This Love"

"One Love"

"Could You Be Loved"

I kept the theme of love on the songs. One I love his music. It is February and Valentine's Day is around the corner and love will be on the minds of many. Marley's music also reminds of the different types of loves and love for different things. I hope you enjoyed these positive vibrations and I will have another post soon!

The End of a Long Strange Trip: Jerry Garcia

I was in my car when I heard the news the Jerry Garcia had died. Harder still to believe it has been 19 years ago. The last two years I have blogged about him on his birthday.



I didn't think to do so this time. I remembered after I blogged about my battle of the band. I've written often about how I miss him. It is sobering to realize he died being 10 years older than I am now at the age of 53 from a heart attack.

I've got a "Touch of Grey"

Here is how Dan Rather and CBS News reported it..

Like Led Zeppelin and Robert Plant introduced me to "new music" at least to me. The bluegrass, the Americana music, the old time, the folk, or whatever you want to call it. Sure I had heard some before but he presented it in away that I got it.

"Whiskey in the Jar"

"Shinning Star"

Thank you for the songs, the improvisations, the solos, the memories and the songs that still fill the air. Something beautiful died with you that unfortunately can never can be replaced, Thank you though for letting me experience it if just for a little while.

Remebering Ray Charles
