All time is history. However…right now we appear to be living through a very historical time. For all the wrong reasons.
A Covid 19 pandemic systematically stealing lives.
Angry revolts in the streets of America. Divided friends and families.
Dark and lonely days my friends.
It’s a lot to ask music to heal these days but heal it can. That’s asking a lot of artists who are going through their own hell.
But try we must. heal we must.
Let’s try on Saturday night…One tune at a time including one very special song from John Fogerty.
It’s called Weeping in the Promised land.
John wrote the title down 25 years ago and only now has it become a record.
John couldn’t figure what the song wanted to say until 2020. Then it came to him.
Just John Fogerty at a piano and an unseen choir. Powerful stuff friends…
(the video below is a slightly different version of the one I’m going to play)
Along the way we’re going to celebrate famous birthdays on this Day Jan 9
Dave Mathews – 1967
Jimmy Page – 1944
Joan Baez – 1941

We’ll also play tunes by Lou Reed – who married a cocktail waitress named Betty in 1973. For a couple of days.
The Beatles whose album Beatles 65 went from #98 to #1 in a week in 1965
