Blind Connie Williams - 'Lead Me Home’ (sic)
Never what you might call a church goer! (confirmed Atheist! - ED) religious songs about the 'circle being unbroken' and 'going home' aways appealed, gospel and blues songs sharing the theme have always fascinated and this is no exception what a glorious song! For a Sunday!
Antoine Payen
Antoine says: "Yes I know, I posted this video a while ago, but whatever. Blind Connie Williams was a street musician in Philadelphia, he played from time to time with Reverend Gary Davis in New York. It's very little known today but I find it extremely moving, I can't get tired of watching and hearing him play and sing. He recorded about twenty tracks in 1961 that can be found on an excellent album just titled "Philadelphia Street Singer". Indispensable.”
he’s not wrong!
Kat [Dennings] first photoshoot!?
Kat commented on her first photoshoot but I still don’t get the joke!
My first photoshoot where they established me as a real BANANA WEIGHING SHOE TABLERIST”
What’s a banana weighing shoe tablerist?
. . .and why do I find this funny?
Why IS she weighing bananas?
Why ARE the shoes on the table?

The keen eyed among you will recall that neighbour Diamond Dave shared the Uncut Archive of the top 500 albums of the 1970s and one album came first
Marquee Moon by Television! Now I said it wouldn’t make my top 30 but heck this live in SF in 1978 made me re-think and no mistake.

George and Paul (Simon that is!) sing Homeward Bound [SNL 1976]
Somebody played this on Flackkenahock and it is telling that I immediately wondered if it was AI [never having seen or heard this clip before] . . . . . . . I understand it is from Saturday Night Live and is genuine
It IS one thing . . . . undoubtedly lovely!
