Little Richard – Freedom Blues

Richard, upon having to introduce Paul McCartney at the Rock & Roll Hall of fame some years ago (Richard, unlike Paul, was not at that time in the Hall) came to the mike and said “I am the architect of rock and roll!!” Yep.

Fairport Convention – Liege & Lief – 1969

In my study of the ’60s, I’ve been reading a fantastic book on ’60s music: white bicyles: making music in the 1960s by Joe Boyd. Fairport Convention is one of the many bands he managed. I missed these guys back in the day.

The 3rd song, Matty Grove, triggered my Celtic roots (my Mom maiden name was Jones—Welsh) and I’ve been clogging (don’t I wish!) (in flip-flops) around the office. (Only because no one else is around.)
