Linda LaFlamme, a songwriter and keyboardist who helped found the San Francisco folk-rock band It’s a Beautiful Day in 1967 and co-wrote the band’s soaring “White Bird,” an enduring anthem of the psychedelic era, died on Oct. 23 in Harrisonburg, Va. USA
She was 85.
We loved this song ‘White Bird’ and it was a favourite of my old friends John Northcote and his first wife and we used to play it all the time and even went to see them at some open air festival (Shepton Mallet?) it became anthemic somehow
A songwroter sorely missed and just when we need all the ‘heads’ we can muster
