I just watched a YouTube video on the rise and fall of the music scene in the 60's in Laurel Canyon in the Hollywood Hills.

Lots of great bands formed and got their start there. It's just a little over 30 minutes long:

I’m glad my time their was when there was still some sanity. I lived among the salt of the earth in the big valley and only visited the places of my California dreaming. Last time I was there was the late nineties for my honeymoon to show my wife the beautiful things of Big Sur, Monterey, SF, the wine country by balloon, and Lake Tahoe. We had the time of our lives. I would go back, but not to the urban areas that I used to like. I’d like to show her the Pinnacles, Sequoia, and Yosemite.

This didn't chart, but it's one of my favorites of the decade.

Every Time I See the Sun Go Down--Melvin Endsley (1961)

I loved the place during those times. Now California’s attraction to me is limited. To many people and it’s sad to see the decline.

It's a good version, still like Lou Reed's version the best though. Just my bias. 😋

Ever hear of Peter Green who was the founder of Fleetwood Mac as a Blues band in 1967 but left in 1970?

Ever hear him do this song as a solo endeavor:

Peter Green - Jumping At Shadows

Peter Green also wrote & performed the song Black Magic Woman that Santana covered and made it a big hit. If you remain at the link you will hear him doing Black Magic woman right after Jumping At Shadows finishes. 😋

The interesting thing about the song Jumping At Shadows is that Green was eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia and spent time in psychiatric hospitals undergoing electroconvulsive therapy during the mid-1970s. The song was actually written by Tony "Duster" Bennett who was based in London, his first album Smiling Like I'm Happy saw him playing as a one-man band, playing a bass drum with his foot and blowing a harmonica on a rack while strumming a 1952 Les Paul Goldtop guitar given to him in 1968 by Peter Green. He died in 1976 in an auto accident. I wonder it that played any role in Peter green's mental issues?

Take your pick. I prefer Cilla Black's version. 1964.

That’s the only reason I’d willingly go back, too. When I MUST visit my relations in the cities, I can’t wait to leave. It’s too depressing.

60’s were groundbreaking. Protest. Intro to rock.

Here are some great protest tunes.

The Dawn of Correction--The Spokesmen (1965)

The Minutemen Are Turning in their Graves--Stonewall Jackson (1966)

Freedom's Cause--Bill Floyd (1966)

This one sounds like it was recorded in 2024.
Day for Decision--Johnny Sea (1966)

I never really got into Peter Green that much. Transformer and Coney Island Baby were my favorite Lou Reed albums. I had the song “Kicks” turned up too loud, loud enough for my dad to hear. I almost got my LP smashed!

She did some stand up comedy in the 80s and it wasn’t too bad.

i also like Cilla Black's version. I had never heard it before tonight, but I did know of her. In 1965, KRLA played her version of You've Lost That Loving Feeling when the Righteous Brothers' version sat atop the charts.
