What kind of music you hear while you trade?

Memories.
Thanks, Peter. Bye.

Bob Dylan simply wrote out the first verse of "Ballad of Easy Rider" and told the filmmakers, "Give this to McGuinn, he’ll know what to do with it."
McGuinn completed the song and performed it in the film.

So sad....but Peter rides off into the sunset.....gone but not forgotten

Peter and his bike: Captain America! He designed it in 1967.

The two bikes of the film were L.A. cop bikes transformed.
Peter himself bought four at an auction from the Los Angeles Police Department.

Originally, Peter Fonda had intended the band Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young to write an entirely original soundtrack for the film.
Dennis Hopper increasingly got control over every aspect over the course of the project and decided to throw CSNY out behind Fonda's back,
telling the band as an excuse, "Look, you guys are really good musicians, but honestly,
anybody who rides in a limo can't comprehend my movie,
so I'm gonna have to say no to this, and if you guys try to get in the studio again, I may have to cause you some bodily harm."

Oh... the old, good times of the Counterculture.

The great and famous dialogue about "Freedom"... and its consequence.

We could follow on with one thousand songs dedicated to the Freedom concept... in all its aspects, meanings and interpretations.
A concept that we too often forget or misunderstand.
Just one for me (this morning...)
In two versions.

It's a chain of thoughts... unstoppable as usual.
"Can you practice what you preachin'?"
Where is the love?

RIP Peter Fonda, great memories, rest Easy


The Byrds did a live concert at the Fillmore about 6 months before Woodstock

Clarence White lead guitar
Roger McGuinn lead singer-guitar
John York bass
Gene Parsons drums (no relation to Gram but did play in the Burritos as well)

Clarence and Gene jointly developed the Stringbender (B-Bender) on Clarence's guitar this song (written by Bob Dylan), making it sound more like a steel or pedal steel.

1969. The Byrds - Chimes Of Freedom (Live)

love is also being fair... and looking to our brothers for peace ... really is an unstoppable chain of thoughts ... the world like this today for lack of love? I believe so.

5 years more ... son ....
