Here’s a playlist filled with some of my favorite songs from the late 60s and early 70s.
It’s a Lovely Day playlist track album
The playlist opens with two songs from The Youngbloods. First, “It’s a Lovely Day” a song that always puts me in a good mood. While I usually just drift along with the second song “Ride the Wind”.
I go way back with Wes Montgomery. I discovered Wes Montgomery in the late 1960s around the time he was crossing over to “mainstream” music: Actually, I don’t know if seeing him on the Hollywood Palace had anything to do with my discovering Wes. Most likely I already already about him because of “Windy”.
Just about every week I visit the Roots Music Report to check out new music. Like everything associated with this blog over the last few years, I continued to listen to new music. However, I seldom wrote about the music I discovered! Anyway I am going to try change that over the next few months. So hang with me and let’s hope we can find some great music together!
Welcome to Edward’s Pages and Playlists— my little corner of the web where music meets books, and playlists curated from a multitude of genres are created.
I’m Edward, a lifelong lover of books and music. Whether it’s getting lost in a jazz or prog, or folk album, or picking out songs for a Sunday morning playlist, or devouring a mystery or thriller novel late into the night, I’ve always believed in the magic of good music and great books.
Now that playlists are a major part of this blog I get to do the fun stuff – making the playlist!
I grew up as an only child. And while I had a close knit neighborhood of friends to play with, along with school friends,, at the end of the day you‘re alone. After I created this playlist I realized that may have affected me more than I realize!
Hello in case new to this site I think that due to my sporadic posting I need to reintroduce myself. I am Edward Karn (I’ll use Edward now instead off Ed, because that’s what my Granddaughter calls me). I’m the chief , cook and bottlewasher at this site! I’m 73 years old and the father of four and grandfather of four. (Soon to be five!). For most of the last two years my wife and I have babysat our fourth grandchild Emma. Our hours are from 7:15 to 4:30 most days. As a result I really don’t have the time to blog. Occasionally, I write something at lunch time but rarely do I feel like writing anything at night.
This morning I did something I haven’t done for a long time. I checked All About Jazz for today‘s jazz musicians born on this date. As I scrolled down the list I really didn’t see any one that interested me. Now I’m sure that if I researched a few of these musicians I’d find some really good jazz musician. Anyway I chose to check out the birthdays from yesterday.
Ok so I asked Chatplt to write a story about a 73 year old man (like me) who want to start a blog about the books he reads and the music he listens to. Here is the result….
