Buddy Miles. A great musician.

Aw, Darn – two interesting musicians in the same day. My son learned rock drumming from a Buddy Miles VHS tape.

RIP Buddy. If I had not ducked, I wudda had one of his drumsticks when he was playing with Jimi in 1969 – the Oakland Arena concert. I don’t remember much about that show but I do remember that :)

Rock on

I dugg this for Buddy.

I don’t recollect ever seeing Buddy solo..Only with Carlos Santana.

well my mind’s been going through them changes

Dugg back, Suzanne-
Evening Eureka!

Good evening, newtonusr.

Love Buddy-just in the mood for some Zappa.
Dumb All Over

Good evening, all!

anybody else find amusing the ad for “Blogging with Moxie” – a book?

Jimi Hendrix, with Buddy Miles

Red House

The town was all a-flutter with news today about Hillary at the branch university, Obama in Columbus, and Mrs. Huckabee showed up to eat at a local Italian restaurant. Very very good food there, I hear.

From Wiki:

In 1967 he formed the Electric Flag with guitarist Mike Bloomfield. While the lead vocalist for the Flag was Nick Gravenites, fans of the Flag always looked forward to the numbers sung by Miles. Listen to the slow blues song “Texas” by the short-lived Flag and you will get a sense of what Miles brought to the group.

Different group bu ta sweet rendition of Texas here.

With the power of soul… anything is possible…

RIP, Buddy…

Bill Buckley. I was here for Jane’s morning post, driving home during the late night one. i’m working on a fellowship app, so have to be sorta brief.

They played snippets of him on harpsichord, playing JS Bach on NPR today. He was fairly good. Not as good as me before I crushed the thumb-half of my left hand in 1981, but good.

I met him twice. I’ve talked about one of those times here a few times since 2005. We talked about how different JS Bach’s use of the left hand in his keyboard writing was than every composer before Bach and 90% of those after him. Buckley’s theories about what that meant now elude me, but we enjoyed agreeing on how amazing that particular thing was.

I liked his spy books, thought his sailing books sucked. I would have liked to have talked to him about Tristan Jones’s sailing books had we met later.

i’ll be listening to this for the next almost 10 minutes… ya’ll be good to each other while i’m busy being enthralled

Someone else died too?

I had no idea earlier today when punaise posted a Buckley song..which I thoroughly enjoyed twice.. his passing was today.

oops.

Jeffrey Scott Buckley (November 17, 1966 – May 29, 1997)

This Iraq song by Buckley never showed up during our protest song fest in December..

Tim Buckley, Once i was… IRAQ

Thanks, ES! I almost forgot this song…which I knew so well in my youth. Really appreciate the reminder!

OK.. I give up.. back to chewing light bulbs. *g

OK.. I give up.. back to chewing light bulbs. *g

LOL. I hear they taste like fish.

sorry, I was just riffing on that other Buckley. getting sloppy in my old age!

who knew Obama had French tendancies?

This Buckley?

Too funny..

Clinton Camp denies leaking photos of Obama as cancer cell.

i liked the mechanical arms

no more than this Bucky.

exit, stage left. buenos nachos!

g’nite pun

Jeff Buckley reciting – Ulalume by Edgar Allan Poe.

D’ome!

Too funny if were like dog and were dumb then so is dog…so all these DMF that have buried us have done it for dog, Is dog wagging in the plasma. He also is pontificatedon what the universe is composed off…stupidity:

Stupidity is the basic building block of the universe. …… From “Frank Zappa talks about Faves, Raves, and composers in their g raves”

The man testified to US Congress debated neocans I will always miss Zappa saw him in NYC never will miss Buckley

buddy, memorial day jam 2003, with JGO

Dr. David Ray Griffin was on NPR tonight explaining how irresponsible Bushco was by ketting 911 happen when he had a lot of intelligence warning them (Richard Clarke CIA professional and many others)that an attack was imminent they ignored the warning he says.
The link above is to his website That was an hour radio broadcast as is further evidence that Bush/Cheney should be impeached. Reda the e-mail obstruction of justice at emptywheel.

Electric Flag was a great new group

Totally Off Topic, but ya know, we are at risk, and doomed, if we pursue our present course of politics, business, and militaristic interventionism. The USA is doomed, and we WILL fracture like the USSR did.

Economy is in the toilet, and gonna get worse. MUCH worse. In CA, and thruout the nation.

BoyKing and Shooter are MORE than likely gonna pull something, and put us all into lockdown and martial law, and well, WILL we have elections, in November?

Firepups tell me . . LOVE to hear why we WILL have elections, and no martial law.

Here’s 3 linky’s to prove it’s TWUE, IT’S TWUE, all the bad things facing us, that FDL and the so called progressive blogs just don’t wanna face or tawk about, no mo . . .

If Studs Turkel was publishing, I’d refer you to his writings of The Depression, Senior Citizens, and politics and such.

And I’d smack most of ya up the side of the head with the songs and experiences and times and story’s of U. Utah Phillips, who now is slowly dying, and could use some money from yer donations to defray medical expenses.

Just google Utah Phillips . . . find his website, read his sitch. He’s an AmeriKan Hero. Icon. Leader.

He’s just up the road from this Larue, I get talk with him once a year at the KVMR Picnic (not this year) .

Utah is THE front person for We The People, the masses, the working people.

IF it’s in yer budget, and in yer heart, this kat deserves yer scheckels.

He fought for us, he sang for us, he took us all to school for people’s rights.

For 6 decades, he had done this.

He deserves yer support. N ya know it.

GOOD THOUGH!!!! *G*

hey larue

The Flag.

Bloomfield, Kooper, Gravenites, Buddy, and more.

If ya know The Flag. *G*

Great song…bush has caused so many sad memories on fake premises.. he and Cheney should br frog marched down the Senate Aisle and impeached
At least an IMpeachment Investigation by the House of Representatives…call Conyers and demand it.

larue, i did’t know of utah philips’ condition

i’m so sorry

Goodnight, all. The best of all possible tomorrows to you all.

g’nite rond

Hey.

I gotta sleep, thanks for gettin me thru to the masses.

I sure hope Pups will chase down Utah’s web site and help him out.

KPIG and Sleepy John are collectin and coordinatin donatons, but I’d just hit Utah’s website, learn of the sitch, and act accordingly, each and every one . . .

He’s a hoss, for the people, 6 decades long.
What more do we want out of our artists, and inspirationalists?

Nite. Ma’am. ;-) Thanks for the space to voice my thoughts . . . Utah’s special.

g’nite kirk

Speaking of new lifestyles…Oprah had Dumpster Divers & Freegans on her show today…she didn’t seem convinced

hey spidey

Got online just a little while ago–what’s the bit with Larue (the street)?

spidey, what do the planets hold for the ides of march politically?

Larue – commenter, activist, grumpy Progressive.

So it’s just the two of us then?

Thanks!

Since Vietnam I have been protesting wars…nobody wins. Jimmy said at the end of the song he was dedicating to the soldiers…’Isabella’ Who sends young folks to war…the old folks. May have been happy times that then. Sad that Jimmy Hendrix died.

Three of us–one unacknowledged…*g*

What days are the Ides?

je crois que punaise est allee s’endormir…

from wiki:

In the Roman calendar, the term ides was used for the 15th day of the months of March, May, July, and October, and the 13th day of the other 8 months.[1].

who’s the 3rd?

Wow, The Pete Seeger special is awesome, with Joan Baez, Arlo, Mary, Bob Dylan… Incredible…! *g*

Well the 15th of March is the first quarter moon and the day is loaded with aspects. Moon in Cancer and no less than 8 major aspects and the planet Mercury enters Pisces joining the Sun & Uranus & Venus. Plenty crowded.
There are two of us here now.

So, is it beware the Ides of March…? Et Tu? ;-)

What we want to watch is the 7th of March when Pluto Squares Mars making for an enormously agressive day. In January when they last squared, there was saber rattling for attacking Iran. What for a repeat.

thanks spidey.

…oops, that’s watch for a repeat

On the Ides, moon aspects almost every planet but by midafternoon things will get all soft and squigly when Mercury enters the sign of pisces. My take is that it will be an emotional day running the gamut.
Might be a good day to smoke two joints, eh?

Seeger is singing ‘Bring’em Home’ now! Resonates today…!

Heh, like I need a reason…! ;-)

Et Tu?

One episode of Law & Order had a character quoting Rimbaud: “et tu? As Rimbaud would say: C’est tout!”

I love that song (laughing)

There are two of us here now.

Il y en a trois ici…

that depends on your perspective

quoi donc? Vous me parlez?

comme dit De Nero en Taxi Driver…

We are alll asleep…waiting for enlightenment.
I don’t post in order so am not in the conversation so much…enjoy your trip I went there in 77′ for a dtudy abroad from U of Oregon in German and studies school boy French at the Alliance Francaise. I like Francaise but my hearing impedes…mostly the liason is like a light song…sans Paris…where it is fast and harder… C’est a dire

if the shoe fits, eh?

well, pups, that’s it for me tonight. Eureka, thanks for the Buddy Miles post and video. Brought back a lot of memories :)

well suzi and all the other little puppies…am off to star watch, a perfect night for it here!
Ciao

Aloha, Suz and Spidey! I shall join ya, Aloha Oe!

1,771 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

KEEP THE FAITH AND BE NICE TA THE SNAILS YA DON’T KNOW WHERE YA MIGHT RUN INTO ‘EM AGAIN!!

whenever my best friend and i play golf, it’s the buddy miles classic.
he was always in our thoughts and still is.
his cover of don’t keep me wonderin’ is a classic
and his instrumental, joe tex, is a soul standard.

we’ll miss buddy

Buddy played a festival that was so raw that it wasn’t planned until days before it started. Thousands showed up, walking over hills, around the roads where the police would block all access. One generator, a stage, A PA, and a lot of bands. Buddy came to a gathering that turned in to something wonderful. Laguna Beach/Irvine cerca 1972. Them Changes.

Way late
Buddy Miles-thanks
I used to walk by his motorcycle where he parked it in Sausalito. American Flag on the gas tank.
I highly recommend this album
Buddy Miles Tribute To Jimi Hendrix(Angel Air)
I am with all of you – and down by the river I have carried forever.
I’ll see ya when I get there say hi to Thelonious and tell him to quit teaching piano to god, we got a mess down here, needs some love.
