I should add a few more musicians who have passed recently.

RIP Scott Asheton

Hi Judith, Here's a short video history of THE MONKS. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOHizcnynNE

This song has inspired me over and again to bend down and make eye contact with some elder in a wheelchair who is locked inside :



John Prine : "Hello in There"

J. Prine, beautiful. Thanks Wayne.

Pat Metheny, Charlie Haden, Billy Higgins - THE CALLING (1984) -

"Come On Up To The House"

Well the moon is broken
And the sky is cracked
Come on up to the house
The only things that you can see
Is all that you lack
Come on up to the house

All your cryin don't do no good
Come on up to the house
Come down off the cross
We can use the wood
Come on up to the house

Come on up to the house
Come on up to the house
The world is not my home
I'm just a passin thru
Come on up to the house

There's no light in the tunnel
No irons in the fire
Come on up to the house
And your singin lead soprano
In a junkman's choir
You gotta come on up to the house

Does life seem nasty, brutish and short
Come on up to the house
The seas are stormy
And you can't find no port
Come on up to the house
There's nothin in the world

[Chorus]

There's nothin in the world
that you can do
you gotta come on up to the house
and you been whipped by the forces
that are inside you
come on up to the house
well you're high on top
of your mountain of woe
come on up to the house
well you know you should surrender
but you can't let go
you gotta come on up to the house

[Chorus]

tom waits is cool, it took me a bit to get into him years ago, you know its music that grows on you when you get into, much deeper than it seems at first =)

heres one of my favorites, well this and everything on "bone machine":

on a very different track-

been enjoying mazzy star's latest album. an unexpected treat, i thought they broke up as hope sandoval has put out a few solo albums. but then they put this one out recently and its every bit as good as their earlier albums
my favorite from their new album:


i've liked them since the beginning, even when they had a bit more folk/country feeling
every song on this album is great =

this one gets me, in that way where it always makes me remember what it felt like, in that time period where i listened to this album all winter over and over again:



and a cover song she sang, which is better than the original, IMO
