What kind of music you hear while you trade?

Such a tragedy of the current LA fires.

There were mandatory evacuations but the fires did not reach into Laurel Canyon itself and the mandatory evacuation orders have since been lifted (I believe)


DocPlay did repeat its 2020 doco on the burst of music & artists into Laurel Canyon in the 60's and what an era it was for any who don't know the story.
(There are many back stories also but I won't be going into any of those)

Here's a trailer from the Laurel Canyon movie/doco if you can get your hands on the full set (a bit over 2 hours)
(Gram gets his Flying Burrito smile into the trailer around the 52sec mark lol - yay )



It's a history of musical history

then
One of the greats of the era, Stephen Stills
Love The One You're With

From her If It Makes You Happy album
Doing the Bobby Whitlock/Eric Clapton written song made famous on the Derek & The Dominos Layla album
(where Eric quadrupled his guitar tracks as Duane was not available that day off on Allman's business)


Jeff Trott did some great work on guitar here though imo

Keep On Growing - Sheryl Crow

(When I was training field staff in the emerging personal computer industry back in the late 80s I told everyone to be attentive to any ‘complaining’ customers as each had their own story, their back story, and by just asking a question or two you can make service inroads towards good outcomes for both customer & our business)


Here the lovely CoCo carmel, wife of Bobby Whitlock, had a podcast where she asks & gets into the history of songs & albums and today the pod was on the very song Keep On Growing (see above, Sheryl) where Bobby actually suggests Eric on the Layla album may have even quintupled his guitar tracks lol (not three as I first thought listening, or four that I subsequently heard hahaa).


CoCo & Bobby (and dog & cat lol)

Keep On Growing and how it developed in the studio
(with no computer digitised session music or autotuned singer)

And finally, the original

How many guitar tracks can you hear from the 4:20 min mark on


Keep On Growing - Derek & the Dominos

and finally for the day lol


What Bobby Whitlock said …

(from what he learned from the George Harrison sessions)

always KEEP the tapes running if anyone is inside the studio playing

Jam IV outtake from the Layla sessions
(when Duane Allman was invited to sit in on a few)

"Well, she believes that life isn't made up of all that you're used to
And the clock on the wall has been stuck at 3 for days and days

She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
But outside it's stopped raining"


3am - Matchbox Twenty (piano/acoustic version)

Inserted Video

"Red lights are flashing on the highway
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home"


I'm going with it's Bryn Davies on Cello

When It Don't Come Easy - Patty Griffin
