With the theme of blue. Not "the blues" so much, just.... Blue. Because that’s just how I feel. (and my apologies to the dial-uprs, sorry!)
To start you off, here’s an instrumental that you can have playing while you read around the kosland tonight. This is some serious guitar picking, right here.
Leo Kottke medley (instrumental)
I’m having a moody musical Saturday evening, so I thought I’d share some of my tubin’ around here. I’m perfectly happy, really I am, but I still love so many of the songs that I lived with when I was in my teens. I listen to them again, and I have to chuckle. Sheesh. How did we ever make it out of the 60’s alive? Oh well. I still love these.
Blue Joni Mitchell
Am I Blue? Billie Holiday
Bonnie Raitt - Angel from Montgomery
This is a tune that always makes me feel happy, and a bit silly, I dont know why.... Just so true.
I hope that I don't fall in love with you by Tom Waits
Laura Nyro Midnite Blue
Dylan It's all over now baby blue
Saved the best for last. This has to be one of my most all time favorite songs ever. You might remember Jorma from Jefferson Airplane, or Hot Tuna.
Jorma Kaukonen Genesis
Genesis
(Jorma Kaukonen)
Time has come for us to pause
And think of living as it was
Into the future we must cross, must cross
I'd like to go with you
And I'd like to go with you
You say I'm harder than a wall
A marble shaft about to fall
I love you dearer than them all, them all
So let me stay with you
So let me stay with you
And as we walked into the day
Skies of blue had turned to grey
I might have not been clear to say, to say
I never looked away
I never looked away
And though I'm feeling you inside
My life is rolling with the tide
I'd like to see it be an open ride
Along with you
Going along with you
The time we borrowed from ourselves
Can't stay within a vaulted well
And living turns into a lender's will
So let me come with you
And let me come with you
And when we came out into view
And there I found myself with you
When breathing felt like something new, new
Along with you
Going along with you
