Are you a lucky little lady in the City of Light ....

Or just another lost angel...

Mojo is my favorite mag...

And this month (link) they celebrate the 60th anniversary of my favorite record label; Elektra Records...

Where Love, The Doors, Tim Buckley, The Stooges, MC5, Queen, Metallica and some other once were signed...

All because of Jac Holzman who could discover such diamonds in the rough ..

So... Happy Birthday Elektra... and thanks for providing such great artists.. (their website is great, check link)

And this one done by Andy Finney ... it's extremely documented with all the record covers, serial numbers, and details.. a must see.. link



Again Jimbo is on my blog... this time because of the wordplay between his anagram and Mojo Magazine..

Mr. Mojo Risin',
gotta keep on risin'
Risin', risin'

no one remembers your name...

This is the song that started all ...

I need someone who doesn't need me ...

The Doors made an instant classic album with L.A.Woman.

Whatever has Jim Morrison's voice on it, it is for me …

and also a music masterpiece.. with three of the best musicians of all time, John Densmore, Robbie Krieger and Ray Manzarek..

Top of the list, as drummer, guitarist and keyboard player…

The first song that got me into the Doors was "People are Strange" ..

That lyrics still make so much sense.. it seems he wrote them just thinking in you or me.. but obviously was about him..

Today I was listening to Chopin and suddenly remembered that Ray Manzarek uses a piece of him on the keyboard solo on Hyacinth House.

It is the Polonaise in A-flat major, Op. 53...

Now I remember When I went to Pere Lachaise cemetery to visit Jim's grave..

Surrounded by so many artist I admire …

Edith Piaf, Amadeo Modigliani, Oscar Wilde...

and not far away from Jim’s there was a majestic grave with a casket spray from the Polish Consulate.. and it was Frederic Chopin's..
