Weekend Music


It's been a long time since we featured one of our favorite evocative songs, but since it happens to be the birthday of electric violinist David LaFlamme, here's a reprise of "White Bird" from It's A Beautiful Day's eponymous album, released in 1969.  You can just smell the sandalwood and feel the cool, sun- drenched breeze off San Francisco Bay, right?

    I smelled a hint of something else besides sandalwood...is that code for something?

  2. Uh- oh, the sandalwood's supposed to cover that up -- light more sandalwood!

  4. This was another one of my favorite songs from my yut!

    Out of curiousity ... contemporaneously (is that a word) was a group Tom Rapp/Pearls Before Swine. Partially because of the biblical reference, & the portion of Bosch painting on the album cover, The Garden of Earthly Delights.

    btw: it is housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, where I currently live. Stumbling upon it was way beyond cool.

    Anyway, my favorite song was/is Another Time.

    Cheers!!
