Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful mothers out there!
Here’s some live Gordon Lightfoot for my mother, ‘Summer Side of Life’:
She’d prefer ‘Rainy Day People’, but I couldn’t find a live version on YouTube.
Best,

Vinyl Survival Pack
I spent part of my afternoon flipping through bins of vinyl treasure at Bop Street Records in Ballard. I decided to put together a vinyl record survival pack, a little bit of Stevie Wonder, some live Ike and Tina Turner, Gordon Lightfoot greatest hits, The Temptations, and live Crosby Stills Nash and Young.
Come on over and have a listen.
Johnny Cash
I’ve been talking a bit about Johnny Cash in my shows lately, and today is his birthday, so I figured I’d dig up a performance of his you’ve probably never seen. Johnny Cash used to have a great show on TV where the best music artists would come on and perform and often duet with him. This is a great performance of him from that show with another of my favourite artists, Gordon Lightfoot:
I’d hate to think of what music would be like if Johnny Cash hadn’t ever lived. So I won’t.
Happy Birthday, Johnny Cash, and thanks for showing us how it’s done.
Love,
SJ
