Wow, he was too young! I'm also surprised that John Cephas has been dead so long. It still seems recent.

Recently, it was the 50th (50th!!) anniversary of Ann Peebles' I Can't Stand the Rain. I was vaguely aware of it back in the day. At any rate, it sounds good today.

Married couple Tonya Willcox (UK vocalist) and King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp perform at the Isle of Wright music fest Heroes; a song by David Bowie originally that Fripp played guitar on during the late ‘70s Berlin Trilogy (w/David, Iggy, Eno)
Some fancy guitar work
They also put on a pretty humorous Sunday lunch show covering classic rock gems like covering Breaking the Law by Judas Priest
Guess this means King Crimson isn’t getting back together again.

I'm trying to give some small reciprocation to my sister that's been a guardian angel for me for more than 60 years now. My bro-in-law is 75 and sinking deeper and deeper into the sadness of dementia. I was in The Hub for a month this summer but returned to Wydorado 6 weeks ago. I made my way back East again for a few months on Saturday. Still trying to adjust to the 2 hour time difference on Monday night I found myself wide awake at 10:00PM when I'm usually in bed sometime between 9 and 9:30. I saw there was a premiere of the show Brilliant Minds and gave it a try. I hadn't read any reviews and the show is not the greatest, but I think it had an awesome beginning whee the Beach Boys "God Only Knows" was performed by a character with Alzheimers. I was quite moved. I had a girlfriend that absolutely loved this song and I heard it far to often. After not hearing it for quite some time its firing up in my head all too frequently again. What a great song. I looked for a good cover on Youtube for some of our younger friends around the fire but for me I couldn't find one that held a candle to the original. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NADx3-qRxek

Today I thought of a concert I saw with Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, and Paco de Lucia. Guitar gods all. I saw them back in (cough) 1980 as they toured together in support of their Friday Night in San Francisco album. Maybe there was a CD or cassette, I don't remember. It was a small, in-the-round theatre. I think the stage rotated, but I'm not sure - I know that it could, but not sure that it did that night, although my head surely did. In a totally different vein, I saw King Crimson there as well. Anywho, while the venue (Painters Mill?) is long gone, the memory still remains. I'm not a guitarist, but I surely appreciated their guitar god playing. Among others, they performed the very fun "Short Tales of the Black Forest", which was composed as a duet by Chick Corea. I was going to take some girl to the concert, but she couldn't make it for some reason. So Peter, who went on to get a PhD in particle physics from Princeton and work at Fermilab (way over my head) went with me instead. After the show he said, "Tell xxx I'm REALLY glad she couldn't make it." This looks like the full video which the album tracks were taken from. I think that later versions during the tour featured Paco on this song, Short Tales, as well, which I've fast forwarded to in the video. Just two guys havin' fun, with a theme you may recognize thrown in just for laughs. You can rewind back to the beginning if you're so inclined.
