Stepping outside she is free

I'm not feeling "it" today. I'm sick. Still.
I can go for some laid back music. Here's a great Beatles (McCartney) song done by two of my favorite singers; Harry Nilsson and Esther Ofarim. You have probably heard of Nilsson, if not look him up for God's sake, but most have not heard of Israeli sing Esther Ofarim. Not only is she a fox but she can blow! She has amazing pipes but more so she is able to feel the lyrics and bring emotion into each performance. I had once posted her version of Randy Newman's 'In Germany Before the War' which shows her great emotion and interpretation. Here she is followed by Nilsson performing She's Leaving Home:

You've got me sewed up like a pillow case

It's been a long week but it's Friday and we can put ourselves in neutral for a bit. Relax and have a good weekend. Here's Link wray to help you get where you're going...

Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come

I'm sitting at my cube thinking about the weekend. I still have things to unpack. I also have to clean, mow the lawn and tonight I play a show with my new band. Oh and it's the 4th of July on Sunday! Maybe my wife and I will break down and buy a grill and cook some meat in honor of America!
I'm trying to think of an appropriate song to post for the holiday weekend. Cat Stevens wrote a song called Peace Train. It's a great song with a good message. I found an amazing performance to show you and I couldn't think of a better time to post it. Have a peaceful Fourth of July!



and the world would be a better place if we were all fans of Hitchcock.
