60's - 70's Street MUSIC + Violin, Psychedelic & More, Artwalk Night

My DJ and friend Ron Kane chose great musics that night, and David Strother, the violinist improvised rather well on them. 

Here was our last Artwalk Night.

Unfortunately, my camera dropped dead before the end, just when a lot of people arrived and were dancing in front of my shop.

A friend of mine took a photo of a few of us in my shop:

 it was a great souvenir for my Birthday, which was one day before, but I never celebrate it on the 11th because of 9/11.

All these musics that I listened to or could have listened to during my childhood are so wonderful, so full of images, conveying a form of hope and joy that we don't feel much nowadays. I am not certain that people were more joyful in the 60's or 70's but they were more spontaneous and innocent for sure.

On the Thumbnail of this video, it is a painting "The Myth of the Isle of Wight" that I made years ago about several artists playing there in 1970. It was the last time that we saw Jimi Hendrix on stage and there were The Moody Blues, The Who, The Doors and many others... Why the Myth? Because I would love to attend a festival there one day. I don't know if it is any good today, but for me, the Isle of Wight is something that I didn't do when I was still small. I easily imagine why my parents didn't want me to go! :-) I was anyway way too young.

Am I today too old? :-) 

We are never too old for Music.
