Come on, people! Come on, children!
Come on down to the glory river
Gonna wash you up, and wash you down
Gonna lay the devil down, gonna lay that devil down

I love when a #film showcases a song that I probably should have already known about but it somehow passed me by. Of course I know #LeeHazelwood is a legend, but I've never really delved deeply into his work - so I was surprised to hear this #song featured in the wonderful #soundtrack to a great film - #Touch (Iceland's submission for #BestInternationalFilm for an #Oscar this year.)

Anyone remember Annie Haslam and Renaissance? They were a part of my teen years listening to Album Oriented Radio (AOR) ... I would get excited when one of their songs would come on - which was rare because they tended to be 8 minute long art-rock numbers. I listen to her now and think how she paved the way for Kate Bush, Stevie Nicks, even Heart - but her music is largely forgotten. And I just discovered that she is still out there singing and making music ... at 77! #rememberlegends #nowplaying #listenup #music #musicworld #mixtape #randomplay #nowhearthis #simsongs #anniehaslam #renaissance #carpetofthesun #70smusic

Special for Election Day in America ... 'Disinformation' by Buffy Sainte:Marie
"Coincidence and likely stories
They dog your trail like a pack of lies
They whine at night when the lights are out
You toss and turn
You pitch and roll
Disinformation, you spin it like a silkworm"

RIP Barbara Dane
Legendary Blues, Jazz, Folk Singer and Political Activist. She began her career in 1957. Ebony Magazine said of her in 1959 "startlingly blonde, especially when that powerful dusky alto voice begins to moan of trouble, two-timing men and freedom"
She was 97 ...

Anyone out there remember this classic from the 1980s by British Poet, Singer, Songwriter Anne Clark?
In a beer gut belly
In a open fly
Brilcremed, acrylic, mindless boys
Punching, kicking, making noise
From the cradle to the city streets
They spill out their aggression
By punching what they don't understand
And stopping all forms of expression
Teaching each other to be men
By spewing in the street
Well now I know just what to do
To make my man complete !
Against the power of their misguidance
We must learn to fight
To be just what we want to be
Morning, noon and night
Night is for the hunters
And the hunted are you and me
Hunted for just having
Some from of identity
Night is for the hunters
And the hunted are you and me
Hunted for just having
Some individuality .

Norma Tanega (1939 – 2019) was an American folk singer-songwriter, painter, and experimental musician. She had a hit with the single "Walkin' My Cat Named Dog" in 1966, reaching #22 on the US charts. The song tells the story of living in a New York City apartment building that did not allow dogs; instead she owned a cat which she named "Dog" and took for walks.
While traveling in England to promote her music she met Dusty Springfield resulting in a 5-year relationship. Springfield covered several of her songs during this time.
While Tanega failed to follow up her early pop success, she never stopped making music, and developed a cult following that continues to see her music appreciated and covered by many artists.

Jim Croce I Got A Name
I have to admit I don't think about Jim Croce very often - but I was amazed when I learned that he passed away on this date in 1973! I wasn't even out of highschool yet. Then I saw the list of songs he sang ... So many were so familiar from his very short career. This song was released as a single the day after he died in a plane crash. It reached #10 on the Billboard charts.
