Musical Alphabet Letter I
“(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones became the song that every garage band just had to play if they were going to be successful. In the 1970s it was a standard at every high school dance I went to. The song was written by band members Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and recorded by the English rock band The Rolling Stones. It is featured on their 1965 album Out of Our Heads and became their first number one hit in the US. Rolling Stone magazine has it on their list of The Greatest Songs of All Time and it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998. The Library of Congress has added the song to the National Recording Registry.

Exploring the line between music and noise
Back in the year 1960, a curious event unfolded on national television that left viewers both puzzled and intrigued. This was the work of an American composer named John Cage. Unlike traditional composers who used familiar musical instruments, Cage was surrounded by an assortment of everyday objects. Among the curious items were a bathtub, ice cubes, a toy fish, a pressure cooker, a rubber duck, and a collection of radios. Armed with these unconventional tools and armed with nothing but a stopwatch, Cage performed what he titled "Water Walk." The result was a symphony of unexpected sounds, delivered with utmost seriousness and precision. Some viewers found this performance to be uproariously funny, while others dismissed it as utterly absurd. However, a common question lingered in the minds of those who witnessed it: Could this be considered music at all? The answer, as it turns out, is not as straightforward as it might seem.

Happy Trails From The Quicksilver Messenger Service
The Songs And The Band Introduction I remember when I first saw the artwork of this album, I thought the cowboy was riding away from the viewer towards the homestead in the distance. It was years before I looked at it properly and saw he was waving his hat at his girlfriend as he was riding out from the homestead.

From a Small Town...
I have spent too much time looking at my guitars over the past year. Jeff Beck passed away and I gave my Fender Stratocaster a workout. David Crosby passed and I had my acoustic ready and going through my fingers with my memories and skills. And then, after a day where I planned lessons, had online interviews for online material in my courses, found myself returning to a festival to celebrate its final day as a volunteer, I looked at my cellphone.
