Music of the Moment

oh, bear wih me, one more Taj Mahal "oooh so good 'n blues" and the Pointer Sisters Columbia KC 32600 ... early seventies?
It's pretty cold here this morning and we haven't made it out of the living room.

I really enjoyed the new film "Beasts of a Southern Wild". It reminded me of the documentary recordings and films of Americana by the great Alan Lomax. Here is a homage in celebration of his birthday.... Alan Lomax (Jan 15, 1915 - July 19, 2002) Sooo many great recordings.... It's hard to choose!

Well, this morning it's "The Patsy Cline Story" the only record we have by her. MCA 2-4038. I have all of the records by women in one section..one eighth of our collection...and it's not for lack of searching...it seems, at least for a long time men were out numbering women in producing records...hopefully that's changed.
For some reason there is a thread at the bottom of this page about opium production and my mind jumped to Chet Baker...I've got a tape somewhere I think I'll go look for.

Thank you Rion and Rick for taking the time to find the music...someday I'll catch up on my you tube viewing.

Hi Judith, Coincidentally, I just watched an enlightening film called " !Women Art Revolution" (2010).
It documents the feminist art movement. Its about a small group of brave, ingenious women who protested vigilantly for recognition and respect in a male dominated art world. It's a fascinating, infuriating, but ultimately inspiring piece of little-known history. Highly recommend.
