Did Ya Know?..Who Was Donald Duck Dunn?

by sylvar cc
DONALD DUCK DUNN/bass was a member of the great band, 'BOOKER T AND THE MGs' entered into the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME,while in that group. He died this past year in May at the age of 70 HERE.
An awesome bassman, he played with Wilson Pickett, Jerry Lee Lewis, Otis Redding, Neil Young,  Eric Clapman, he was a member of THE BLUES BROTHERS BAND....cool.
'Duck' as he was called by family and close friends began playing the bass at age 16, he tried the guitar first, but later said it had two too many strings on it...sounds just like a born bassman says I.... [smile, Jan].
---------------------------
For a two minute history of this bassman, watch this video, I found on YOUTUBE

'Rescue Me'

by brittreints cc
Just read online that that cool R & B singer FONTELLA BASS died at age 72. in St Louie. Her song 'Rescue Me' was a big hit way back in 1965. She had other favorite duet tunes around that same time with BOBBY McCLURE, including 'Don't Mess Upo A Good Thing' and 'You're Gonna Miss Me'.
She married jazz composer/trumpeter LESTER BOWIE in the '60s , and they traveled through Europe before settling in the U,S.A.
BASS in her 'les Stances of Sophie' and 'Theme of Yoko' were  her boundary-bursting jazz contributions to music...Go HERE

Old Hippies Unite...'We Can Change The World'...Yes, We Can

by positivity toolbox
This song says it all, doesn't it? Gets my feet moving too. Wanna Dance. Guess I'm a dreamer...hippies of the '60's all seemed to share a dream of  a world of freedom and equality for ALL.
Today, I also remember JOHN LENNON...a great dreamer and one of my heros. John died on this day in 1980. Found this image on FACEBOOK at PositivityToolbox

Look At This VW BUS, Will Ya?...Way.Cool

by jeppe2 CC
">I got my first VW  Camper Bus in the '60's...WOW! I just loved it. It had everything---bed, table, closet, sink, moon roof,  storage, was a bright orange color with a peace sign on the side door etc...So, Ernie, my first hubby, and I went to Mexico in it...and, it was our home, we lived in it all over Mexico and the lower States while we traveled. I've had several VW Vans over the years and loved them all. They're great on gas too. Steve and I even have a '66 VW van today that doesn't run but has everything in it...and can be really cool when fixed up.
BUT, wait look what VW's come up with.... a new SUPER VW Bus...just look at this will ya?
