Could song be reference to current leadership? Happy Friday!

Clicked on this and Mrs. Guy started swaying and it evolved into full motions jerking back and forth. Started hitting some of these notes, then painfully almost hitting some. Whoa. Unique morning.

Janice was my number one all-time favorite singer.
That looked like Mama Cass Elliot, blown away by Janice’s performance, sitting in the audience there just before the end.

Classic! One of the great ones and a groundbreaking performance…….

Another Gem.
The streak just keeps on rolling.

Geez, if she’d ever had a real band behind her. Big Brother always sounded like they were tuning up.

When’s the next Cardinals game?

I actually liked that sound. It was off just enough to be jarring and a bit jazzy.

It’s nice to agree about music first thing in the morning before we disagree about politics the whole rest of the day.

We may have our quibbles but who doesn’t like listening to Janis?
Comment by Mighty M. Mouse Friday, Oct 17, 14 @ 8:40 am
God, was she ever talented. Love how she lays it down. The electric guitar was pretty sweet, too.

It is crazy to think she was only 27 when she died. 27! Fame is a cruel mistress.

And that’s why I do it.

-and that’s why we do it- in that case why not just change the name of your blog to capital Trax and drop the politics all together?

Check out the Muscle Shoals doc on PBS. Those cats could play.

Love love love this. Thanks Rich. My friend Cathy Richardson, from Chicago, and played Janis in the show Love, Janis, also does a great version of Ball and Chain. Google it. You won’t be disappointed.

Nice one, Dee Lay.
And nice one, as usual, Rich. Great taste you have. Thanks.

Thanks Rich! Janis…my heart & soul.

OMG My absolute favorite. Rich astounds.

She was so terrific. Loved the first album with Big Brother.

I saw BB&HC with Cathy Richardson sitting in several years ago. The funniest thing I remember from that show is bassist Pete Albin’s statement “I used to do acid…now I do antacid.”

I first saw “Monterrey Pop” at a midnight show double bill with “Don’t Look Back” at the old Playboy Theater. The memory of “Ball and Chain” stuck with me for years. The reaction shot of Mama Cass’s “Wow” is terrific.
