There aren’t a huge number of folk in my industry I truly, truly admire.
DENZEL however is one I very much do.

1st October 1970, Janis Joplin recorded her famous a cappella song "Mercedes Benz" and a lighthearted "Happy Trails" birthday greeting for John Lennon during a session in Los Angeles. These proved to be her final studio recordings before her tragic death three days later. #JanisJoplin

Love this clip of Brian Wilson and George Martin discussing ‘God Only Knows’ and Brian’s enthusiasm when he thinks George is making the song better — “I can’t believe this is happening!”

The first Palm Warbler I've seen this Fall. These birds wag their tails, which can be quite helpful in identifying them.
