    greetings. I leave you with one of my favorite albums since the '80s

    John Fahey - God, Time, and Causality. Fahey was a unique and very versatile solo acoustic guitarist, with dozens of album. I actually had tickets to see him, but the show was cancelled and I found out later that he had died on the operating table while undergoing quadruple bypass. R.I.P.

    When it comes to guitar, I am hard pressed to imagine a better performance than this. John McLaughlin - Paco de Lucia, Frevo Rasgado, from the Friday Night in San Fransisco performance.

    Just saw a CBC documentary on Buffy St. Marie, Canadian folk singer / songwriter.

    Interesting facts: she was the first woman to breastfeed (for real) on TV.

    The TV show she breastfed her son on: Sesame Street

    Big Bird: "That's a strange way to feed a baby."

    Buffy explains that many women feed their babies this way.

    By the end of the clip, Big Bird says he finds it lovely ... I think that's the word that was used.

    Have to say, after seeing this I'm a big Buffy St. Marie fan.

    Documentary is called "Buffy St. Marie: Carry It On"
    Good call. I'll look for it. Marie's version of Joni Mitchell's "Circle Game" is one of my earliest musical memories. Speaking of Joni Mitchell, here's an awesome video, Joni Mitchell, 90 minutes Intimate and Interactive on Much Music. Click "watch omn YouTube



    edit: oooh. this is 1994, Joni breaks the law and chain smokes in Much Music studio.

    Carlos Santana - Samba Pa Ti, House of Blues Las Vegas, 2016. Carlos shows the old magic, 45+ years after the fact. Wonderful.

    Good score on the video! I will bookmark for later.

    It's all a matter of opinion of course, but I respectfully submit that when it comes to guitar solos, neither Richards or Wood were in the same league as Taylor. I give you two songs as "evidence"

    Sway, from Sticky Fingers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIlVba5jtQE

    Can't You hear me knocking, from Exile on Main Street https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz5mI6tqm_Q

    Equal !!! Each with their own voice !!!

    Ronnie Wood playing lead with the Faces ... pure rhythmical soul.

    Keith Richards playing lead with the Rolling Stones ... pure sloppy muscle soul ... flex on a single note !!!

    Mick Taylor playing lead with the Rolling Stones ... pure technical soul ... Mozart esques !!!

    Aged ... still vital ... together on the same stage ...



    R.I.P. Charlie Watts

But My favorite Lightfoot song of all is Restless, which opens the album "Waiting for You", which was released in 1993, after a six year hiatus. It's a great album. Great writing, though his voice has thinned considerably and the picture shows he has aged considerably.

    Not so much "foul play". There is only a sketchy police report. Nothing else. His family and friends and associates say no, not possible that it was suicide. But he was a known heavy drinker, If it isn't suicide, then my guess is the cops just neglected him, he died from choking on his own vomit, a la Keith Moon, and the cops just wrote up a bogus police report to take the heat off of themselves and their dereliction of duty that resulted in his death. It is not clear to me that there is any proof that he was found hanging, other than that written police report. Ah well.
