PEGGY LEE - SEA SHELLS

SEA SHELLS
#61 in my RECORD COLLECTION series
Dedicated to LOS BROS HERNANDEZ & Family and Darbi.

Peggy Lee was really ahead of her time with this album!
Accompanied by just a harpist, she spouts haikus, love poems & lullabyes, acting and singing the imagery with such understated sensitivity and earnestness.
I read in Miss Peggy Lee's autobiography that this album was very important to her.
She was right to be proud of it; its a well of purity & beauty that I draw from again & again.

Dedicated to Jen, Kathryn & my Aunt Edie

Most of the other kids wanted to be Linda Ronstadt on the cover of her LIVIN' IN AMERICA album (the one with the satin hotpants & rollerskates), but i wanted to be Linda on the the cover of SILK PURSE, just hangin' out with her sweet piggy pals.

There was a time that i thought that Linda Ronstadt, Susan Lucci & my Aunt Edie were all the same person; up to that point, they were the three most beautiful women i'd ever seen, so it just made sense that they were all the same person!

QUIET VILLAGE
#35 in my RECORD COLLECTION series
Dedicated to Bob & all my friends who crave a green bubble

Bob is my Dad.
Yeah, he's my stepdad, but he's been so much more of areal-life force & influence in life than the biological guy.
Bob is the one who taught us at any early age that Religion & Politics are all a big scam, The American Dream is a joke built on lies, & that animals are better than people.

My humor, questioning nature, generosity & fierce loyalty all come from Bob.

One of the things that was such a blessing all through growing up was Bob's record collection.
Crazy stuff from the 40s -early 70s...my favorite was Martin Denny's QUIET VILLAGE.
I would stare at the cover for hours, making up stories to go with the image, wondering what kind of animals were in her jungle...& what would i find inside that hut?

Not to mention drifitng & dreaming to Martin Denny's music...which was taking me on psychedelic trips looooong before i even knew what drugs or meditation were.

I am so grateful for the head start Bob gave us in life, teaching us to question authority, read more, learn more, & ABOVE ALL, BE KIND TO ANIMALS.

Bob didn't raise no zombies!

LOVESEXY is my favorite era of Prince. The whole positive vibe, the fresh early 90s imagery, and Prince's use of sampling opened up his world to me in a way that I'd never been able to get to before. The whole "THIS IS NOT MUSIC, THIS IS A TRIP" theme & motifs really spoke to me.
Not to mention the amazing Cat Glover! Even as a dancer, her vibe is felt aaaalllll over this record!
This is a funny, sexy, funky & romantic album.
I can, have & will dance to it all the way thru.
maybe i'll make a point of doin' that today!

This album sure blew out walls in my mind and expanded my reality. Dark and Sensual, moving in ways I'd never imagined, yet sounding so organic, as if it had always been there waiting for me. And I guess it had. It was the first time I felt allowed to explore and express that side of myself and life. That was so liberating; embracing the Dark helped me grow such an appreciation & respect for Light!
Now i love them both & try to keep 'em in balance.
