The point has grown cliche by now, but it's true. Every week your submissions to Shooting Challenges blow me away. And your polar panoramas just upped that ante on every challenge to come.

In 1997 the incredible musician David Crosby sat down with Wally Breese, a Joni Mitchell archivist. Breese conducted a lengthy interview focusing mostly on Crosby’s discovery of Joni Mitchell, and his subsequent relationship with her. I don’t know if I’ve ever read an interview where one person’s affection for another speaks so clearly. I think this is what love looks like in...

This one goes out to Nicole.... don't cut it! (And that goes for all the rest of you too, of course.) ~*~ Almost Cut my Hair - David Crosby (live acoustic 1991)
Still sounding darn good in 2006, Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman and David Crosby sing Pete Seeger's classic that The Byrds made famous in the 1960's, Turn! Turn! Turn!...
A lmost cut my hair. It happened just the other day … but I didn’t and I wonder why. These lyrics (and I know you can hear the melody) launch the song by the same name written and sung by David Crosby. A protest song of sorts, it arose to fame in the 1960s, a time when things changed in a hurry. To many, it’s a song about freedom, personal freedom as in the simple act of growing...

It’s a shame that most music fans only know David Crosby as one third of Crosby, Stills, and Nash . Crosby is a very interesting songwriter, and his early accomplishments have been overshadowed somewhat by the “super-group” he joined in 1969. The inclusion of Neil Young into the super-group heralded their period of great commercial success; but this success pushed the work that Crosby...
The Byrds recorded some great songs, such as Bob Dylan's "Mr Tambourine Man" and "Turn, turn turn". They were: Jim McGuinn, David Crosby, Chris Hillman, Gene Clark and Michael Clarke. Crosby went on to form Crosby, Stills and Nash. I think that Michael Clarke sang with The New Christy Minstrels, a very popular folk group. McGuinn enjoyed a solo career. He is a great guitar player!...
Hear an interview with Melanie Fiona from the Tavis Smiley radio program. She talks about her debut album "The Bridge". I usually don't post much of anything about new R&B performers, because the genre is full of muck... but this artist has the talent. ________________ Other Music Related Links An interview with Alice Smith An interview with Laura Izibor An interview with Mavis Staples...
Musician Chris Hillman was born on December 4, 1944. Yesterday he turned 65. We wish him a belated happy birthday. Hillman was a teenage bluegrass star on the Los Angeles music scene in the early '60s. He moved to bass when he was recruited to help form the Byrds together with Roger (then Jim) McGuinn, David Crosby and Gene Clark. The Byrds brought McGuinn's jangly 12-string guitar and brilliant harmony...
click photo to enlarge Many who came of age in the 1960s tend to look back on the popular music of that decade as something of a highpoint in the genre. I certainly do, though I'd cite the years between 1963 and 1971 as the best. The music of that time seemed to be constantly evolving, absorbing old ideas and giving them a new twist, as well as bringing original sounds, lyrics, melodies and instrumentation...
