For the lovers and the dreamers...
Love is a powerful emotion. When you find yourself 'in love,' it can feel as though everything else fades into the background, and all that truly matters is the connection you share with that special person.

Celebrating "Walk Away Renee" by The Left Banke
Released 1966
@billboard.com Hot 100 #14
This remains one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. It had a sense of mystery, largely due to its arrangement and lyrics, which were hard to decipher.

As a songwriter and singer, Barry Gibb has left his fingerprints on every style of pop music. Today's music audience might never fully grasp his profound influence on music. Happy birthday to one of the greatest and most underrated songwriters of the past 60 years.

I've always loved the story of how, when Stephen Stills & David Crosby heard Graham Nash harmonizing with them, they instantly knew they'd found the missing voice for their new group. I believe a similar revelation came to Linda, Emmylou & Dolly when their voices combined.

Country music was in heavy rotation and a major part of the musical education in our home. It was my dad’s music. I never connected with it as a youth, and it would take decades for me to appreciate it. #Dolly was among the central figures in his record collection.

Of all the bands from the 60s, the Beach Boys were the only ones who could match the harmonic combination of Clarke-Hicks-Nash. Thank you for the music that has brought me and millions of others immense joy.

‘Notes On An Execution” by Danya Kukafka (2023)
Are we truly defined or judged by our legacy, or is the world an unforgiving place? Ansel Packer’s future appears predetermined. A broken home and foster care have shaped an upbringing that has challenged his ability to conform to societal norms.

Music critic Dave Marsh passed yesterday. While he was not everyone’s cup of tea, he was among the most well-known and important music journalists. Marsh could be arrogant and opinionated, but I guess that’s the beauty of the subjectivity of music.
