I still need a new title for the blog. I replaced the subheading and the picture. The new photo is one I took in the 1970s of 10 Market Place in Baltimore. The building has been renovated and is now part of Rams Head Live.

I attended the first Earth Day observation in Philadelphia. I remember that poet Allen Ginsberg and Ed Muskie were among the speakers. Muskie, who was the Democratic vice-presidential candidate in 1968, was the favorite for the 1972 presidential nomination at that point. Redbone, a Native American band, performed.

If this was at the Academy of Music, then I saw it. (See the comments on YouTube.) If it wasn’t, I saw them do something very similar. Prine and Goodman each performed solo acoustic sets and then did the Williams songs as an encore. I distinctly remember them doing “Setting the Woods on Fire” because it’s not as well known as the other songs. I saw Prine and Goodman several times and they were great.
Just one of the many things I blame Trump for. He provided funding for vaccines but didn’t do enough to promote them and spread lots of misinformation.
“Beautiful Delilah” (1958) is a lesser-known Chuck Berry song and it was still covered by the Kinks and the Rolling Stones. Berry wrote and recorded so many great songs.
“Lovesick Blues” was first recorded in 1922. The most famous version was by Hank Williams from 1949.
Sad!
