A Song A Day #58 Crosby, Stills & Nash: Dark Star. it was my friend, Brian Crain, who DJs in and around L.A. (and elsewhere) as Lou E. Bagels who turned me onto this tune almost 25 years ago almost 25 years after it was released. #ASongADay #CrosbyStllsAndNash #DarkStar #LouEBagels

A Song A Day #53 Gwen McCrae: Doin’ It. I heard earlier today of Gwen McCrae’s passing. I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen anyone else post this early eighties funky groove in her honor… #ASongADay #GwenMcCrae #DoinIt

A Song A Day #51 Tricky: Aftermath. apparently Tricky’s debut album, Maxinquaye, was released 30 years ago today. Gavin Hardkiss first played Aftermath for me the year before. it’s always been my fave track from the album. #Tricky #Aftermath #Maxinquaye #TripHop #GavinHardkiss

A Song A Day #47 Santana: Soul Sacrifice. I watched this for the first time in quite a while on Saturday. I first found it 10+ years ago when looking for the version they did at Woodstock. personally I think this version tops that one. drummer’s choice for sure. #ASongADay #Santana #SoulSacrifice

A Song A Day #45 Lorraine Ellison: Stay with Me. when many years ago I saw the film The Boat That Rocked this song was a revelation. I had never heard it before and I’m not sure how that happened. #ASongADay #LorraineEllison #StayWithMe #TheBoatThatRocked

A Song A Day #44 Sly & The Family Stone: Que Sera Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be). one of my favorite covers ever. I also dig the Doris Day original. this is from Fresh (1973), the last great Sly & The Family Stone album. #ASongADay #SlyTheFamilyStone #QueSeraSera #Fresh #DorisDay

A Song A Day #43 Elton John: Song For Guy. a song I knew as a kid but I can’t say I embraced it until sometime during my fifties. pretty much the definition of a deep cut. #ASongADay #EltonJohn #SongForGuy

A Song A Day #40 Double Fantasy: Heartbreaker. another tune I discovered when researching/ compiling a Balearic playlist. truly an ambient groove. it’s been a while since I last listened to this. #ASongADay #DoubleFantasy #Heartbreaker #Balearic #AmbientMusic #AmbienGrooves

not sure how much short term hope this gives me, but it certainly provides long term hope -- "the arc of the moral universe is long" and all that.

A Song A Day #35 Geva Alon: Modern Love. I don’t know anything about Geva Alon or have any memory of how this cover of Bowie’s Modern Love first crossed my path. it’s an acoustic version that dramatically alters the vibe of the song. #ASongADay #GevaAlon #ModernLove #CoverVersion #DavidBowie

A Song A Day #34 Chemise: She Can’t Love You an early 1980s Paradise Garage classic that somehow slipped below my radar for decades. not sure how that happened. I only discovered it in the last few years. #ASongADay #Chemise #SheCantLoveYou #ParadiseGarage

A Song A Day #32 T.S. Monk: Bon Bon Vie (Gimme the Good Life). I don’t remember hearing this until well after Public Enemy sampled the fanfare for the opening of Welcome to the Terrordome. great sample. possibly better song. #ASongADay #TSMonk #BonBonVie #PublicEnemy #Sample
