Happy birthday 'Retha :thumb:

Also the 71st birthday for Mandolin Virtuoso David Grisman.

AND yesterday would have been the 78th birthday for international superstar, Hoyt Axton.

"I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar."  Brings back memories.  I saw Hoyt play at a very small venue in Charleston WV in 1962/63 timeframe at a private suite at the local Holiday Inn.  I went to a small college where a local r&b promoter introduced us to folks who hadn't topped  the charts (yet), but were on their way up.  He also brought John Lee Hooker to town, where we had the good fortune to listen to JLH, accompanied only by himself, his guitar, and his ever-present foot-stomping providing the bass, as we sat on the floor at the Camelot bar in total awe.  Good times!

And, yes..... Happy Birthday, Aretha!

Gotta love this!


Here, given all the maudlin postings about the "departed" (nearly and otherwise lately) I expected this to mark her passing.

But ho!

I get a true "Soul Survivor" commemoration.

Great noting dust.

Nothin' but:


R - E - S - P - E - C - T !!!!!!!

I got to play lead horn (French that is) with her in the early 90's. Awesome gig that helped my career prosper a bit. Her son played bass and he was young at the time. She does still have it today!  Happy birthday girl!

My favorite rendition of her song "Think" is her performance in the Blues Brothers movie. She sang that live as they filmed because she was unable to lipsynch/fake it.

That's not correct from wha I have read. She lip synched, Hooker and Brown sang.
