Sad news from Arlo under "Announcements."

We've lost another great voice for love,

I remember Mimi and Richard Fariña's music so well. I rembember their commitment to the anti-war effort, Richard's time in jail, and the hope he and Mimi brought to people my age.

They both will always be dear to my heart.

So sorry to hear about her passing. Not sure of what she sang as I'm more familiar with Joans stuff. Shame to see the 60's folkies passing on... Image

What Arnie said Levi! Can't think of a nicer way to bring back memories. . . . .Happy and sad. The sweet, the sour, the bitter-sweet. It's all just a memorie. Some linger on. . .Image

The earth felt this loss. I know her passing was not in vain. She is a true angel. Image
Forgive me, for I feel no words can do no justice.

...My deepest sympathies...

~Reflections In A Crystal Wind~

If there's a way to say I'm sorry, perhaps I'll stay another evening, beside your door, and watch the moon rise, inside your window, where jewels are falling, and flowers weeping, and strangers laughing, because you're dreaming that I have gone.

And if I don't know why I'm going, perhaps I'll wait beside the pathway where no one's coming, and count the questions I turned away from, or closed my eyes to, or had no time for, or passed right over because the answers would shame my pride.

I've hear them say the word "forever", but I don't know if words have meaning, when they are promised in fear of losing what can't be borrowed, or lent in blindness, or blessed by pageantry, or sold by preachers, while you're still walking your separate ways.

Sometime we bind ourselves together, and seldom know the harm in binding the only feeling that cries for freedom and needs unfolding, and understanding, and time for holding a simple mirror with one reflection to call your own.

If there's an end to all our dreaming, perhaps I'll go while you're still standing beside your door, and I'll remember your hands encircling a bowl of moonstones, a lamp of childhood, a robe of roses, because your sorrows were still unborn."

Thanks for the pictures Levi.

I dug into the record collection and found "Celebrations for a Grey Day" from 1965 by Mimi and Richard.

How could it sit on the shelf for so long without being played?
