If it wasn’t for my music career I would apply for a job in this building… after all it’s in my blood, my family fought Nazis in WW2.

Happy Birthday to French fusion violin-master Jean-Luc Pontyβ˜€οΈCelebrating 83 today! I first became aware of his playing on Frank Zappa’s superb LP β€˜Hot Rats’, and I later saw him perform with Zappa when I volunteered for back-stage duties at KalvΓΈyafestivalen 1973 in Norway – Good times!

To the memory of the mighty Leonard Cohen, born on this day in 1934. Singer, songwriter, musician, painter, poet, novelist and meditator. Leonard Cohen left his body on Nov. 7th 2016, at the age of 82. β€œPoetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.”
