Notes: I started a music diary. TF else am I going to do these days?
This week!
I discovered, about 40 years too late, about Buffy Sainte-Marie's incredible run in music.
I learned that Pink Floyd's Dave Gilmour, like Stevie Nicks, is quite popular amongst the younger set for some mysterious reason, and, by accident, how drummer Nick Mason drove that band.
I took umbrage (again) at the player of the green tambourine.
My friend Enne has a new single!
Also, below, is
an in-car tribute to how WFMU is getting me through this bleak pandemic. I'm not crying; it's just raining.
She was a pioneer in #electronica too. Growing up, I thought of @BuffySteMarie as a #FolkMusic singer, though thru the late 1960s and well into the 1970s, she was busting some serious moves https://t.co/VNRmbnkuK6 #FolkAF #Cree pic.twitter.com/feTXKnnyVS

Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii, 1972
I did not know this but it appears to be near-consensus among the younger generation that #PinkFloyd's David Gilmour was quite the hottie back in the day. #LiveAtPompeii #ProgRock pic.twitter.com/rAJpR7mCXW

Seriously, why can't we buy shirts like this any longer? #RichardWright #PinkFloyd pic.twitter.com/ffLH0fPUGu

Here Nick Mason loses his drum stick and swiftly grabs another without breaking the beat #PinkFloyd #LiveAtPompeii pic.twitter.com/lrm3Bah1MA

"Echoes" remains my favorite Pink Floyd song, even if they never did quite workout that part in the middle... pic.twitter.com/8ng1k5CcVt

Ha! The DJ ON @wfre called #MerleHaggard’s “Mama Tried” the best #CountryMusic song about mothers and that sounds about right... https://t.co/BBfJRPqPpH #MothersDay #WV #radio

Backdoor Man
A decade earlier, Ram Jam guitarist Bill Bartlett played in the #LemonPipers, a surprisingly not-bad #psychedelic pop band, also a one hit wonder ("Green Tambourine.") So, a pretty nice run of luck for Bill... https://t.co/nLDWjWMRfz pic.twitter.com/8K1MHnmicU

Even when I was a kid, I wondered why anyone would pay to see some loser rattle a tambourine, even a green one. Kinda weak pickup line, and further undercut by the creepy vibe of the song itself ("Soundtrack of My Life," May 10, 2020) https://t.co/omx36UlHBw #Psychedelia @lastfm
