Happy Birthday to Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead, who is turning 84 today. He was the bass player and (occasional) singer in this seminal San Francisco band, by some considered the ultimate hippie band.
Phil also contributed to the band’s songwriting, co-writing among others legendary Dead songs like Truckin’ and Box of Rain. On the latter he took the lead vocal, so it may be a fitting tribute to Phil Lesh on his birthday.

Manfred Mann with the Manfred Mann(Band) and the Manfred Mann’s Earth Band is an artist who made a metamorphosis in music like few others to me. From the older songs like “Ha Ha said the clown” to the “Angelstation”.
I saw him life on the “Watch-Tour” and was blown away.
Besides the excellent music they performed with a background show, that was amazing. In the last part of blinded by the light, during the long tone, a camera in a cartoon-like movie drove into the throat of the singing figure, passed the Vocal suppositories and the tonsils and the head exploded as the tone ended. songs from "Nightinggales and Bombers, “The roaring silence” and this one from “Solar Fire”

Today I want to celebrate the memory of the American singer-songwriter Frederick Ralph Morlock Jr., better known as Fred Neil, who was born 88 years ago today. Although mostly forgotten these days, he was a pivotal part of the folk scene in New York in the early 1960’s.
Bob Dylan recalls that when he arrived in New York, he was advised to seek out Fred Neil. When he finally did, Neil invited him up on stage to join in. As a songwriter he is best known for Everybody’s Talkin’, who Harry Nilsson had a smash hit with after it was used on the soundtrack to the Oscar movie Midnight Cowboy.
Fred Neil more or less retired from the music industry already in the mid 70’s, and passed away in 2001 In additoin to Nilsson, his songs have been covered by among others The Lovin’ Spoonful, Jefferson Airplane and Linda Ronstadt. To celebrate his memory, here is his own verson of Everybody’s Talkin’, and one more!

Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel - The Best Years of Our Lives
Thank you for being a part of some of the best years of my life. Now rest in peace 
Fresh-faced imbeciles laughing at me
I’ve been laughing myself, is that so hard to see?
Do I have to spell each letter out, honestly?
If there’s no room for laughter, there’s no room for me.
