| 003 Los de los Sesentas y Setentas en sus Setentas y Sesentas UK |
Hace más de 47 años, cuando todos compramos el Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band nos parecía demasiado lejano el tiempo de los sesenta y cuatro.
El jefe de McCartney, ese sí, era un ruco de sesenta y cuatro años, a quien el hijo le había regalado de cumpleaños una canción fresona que había compuesto varios años atrás donde se planteaba, siendo aún joven, la llegada de la vejez.
La visión de Paul, seguramente no la hubiera imaginado para él mismo. Ese joven preguntándole a la amada si lo seguiría amando cuando ya quedara calvo y se dedicara a dejar pasar el tiempo con Vera, Chuck y Dave sentados en sus rodillas, ya sin remedio ¿Quién podría pedir más?
Pero ¿qué creen?, pasó el tiempo y ahí vamos llegando, uno tras otro de los que aún seguimos en el camino, a esos sesenta y cuatro. ¡Ufff! ¿quién iba a imaginarlo entonces? Que en estos tiempos la vida no se reduce a verla pasar.
Muchos de los colegas de McCartney, él mismo incluido, demuestran que esa no es, ni por mucho, la edad del retiro. Siguen componiendo, siguen cantando, siguen produciendo y ¿qué creen? No se volvieron los 'crooners' que tanto detestábamos.
Escuchémolos ahora y confirmemos, como bien lo decía Neil Young: 'Rock'n'roll will never die'.

Let Me Go

| 26 Letters 12 Notes (2008) |

Dave Mason es uno de esos grandes músicos de rock que no han sido valorados en su justa dimensión. No solamente fue parte de Traffic, banda para la cual compuso, entre otras, ’Feelin’ Alright?’, ‘Vagabond Virgin’, ‘You Can All Join In’, ‘Hole In My Shoe’ y ‘Just For You, entre otras. Además de su carrera como solista que incluye rolas como ’Only You Know And I Know’, ‘Sad And Deep As You’, ‘Waitin' on You ‘, ‘Headkeeper’, ‘Every Woman’, ‘Split Coconut’, ‘Let It Go, Let It Flow ‘, ‘So High (Rock Me Baby and Roll Me Away) ‘, ‘We Just Disagree’, ‘Paralyzed’, ha tocado y grabado con Paul McCartney, George Harrison, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Graham Nash, Michael Jackson, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Steve Winwood, Fleetwood Mac, Delaney Bramlett, y Cass Elliot, casi nada. Muy conocida la historia en la que Mason invitó a su cuate Hendrix a una fiesta donde este escuchó la rola de Bob Dylan ’All Along the Watchtower’ y decidió hacer su propia versión. En el estudio, la guitarra de 12 cuerdas es tocada por Mason quien tuvo que hacer 27 tomas hasta que quedó al gusto de Hendrix. La rola se publicó en el album Electric Ladyland en el ’68. En el ’74 la graba para su disco Dave Mason en el que también incluye ’ Bring It On Home to Me’ de Sam Cooke. Graba sin créditos en Beggars Banquet, el disco del ’68 de los Stones, en All Things Must Pass de George Harrison, suyo es el wah-wah de ’Military Madness’ que Graham Nash grabara en el ’71. Tocó con Delaney & Bonnie en aquel tour con Eric Clapton, hizo un dueto con Michael Jackson y formó parte de Fleetwood Mac en el ’95. Por si alguien no lo conocía… David Thomas Mason, del 10 de mayo de 1946 En 26 Letters 12 Notes, Dave Mason regresa al estilo típico del rock inglés de los setenta con una moderna co-producción para demostrar que no sólo es un sólido, centrado y relevante ‘songwriter’ sino un vocalista expresivo con un poder y profundidad misteriosos. Su habilidad en la guitarra sigue evolucionando. |

Ringo nunca fue, como diría Lennon en una entrevista, solamente 'el baterista. Los lectores de la revista 'The Rolling Stone' lo consideraron como el quinto mejor baterista de todos los tiempos en el 2011. Phil Vollins y Steve Smith lo describen como un músico importante que llevó el estátus de baterista a un plano más allá del simple acompañamiento. Ser miembro de una banda como The Beatles requiere de un juego de roles bien definido y Ringo conocía el suyo y lo jugaba.

Today, today is the 1st of May Everything around us Everything a lie Your hearts beating fast As we race through the dark Past the really good people Who do what they’re told What will be my name In the USA? Hold my hand and I’ll take you there Who will I become In the USA? Hold my hand and I’ll take you there Sophie and Lev are running away These are the days The days of gloom Lev can’t smile and Sophie can’t sing A mile to the future Where tomorrow is king What will be my name In the USA? Hold my hand and I’ll take you there Who will I become In the USA? Hold my hand and I’ll take you there I don’t need to know Know where you are Only that you are Safe in this world Then I’ll be content To get on with my life Eat, drink and sleep Look up at the stars What will be my name In the USA? Hold my hand and I’ll take you there Who will I become In the USA? Hold my hand and I’ll take you there What will be my name In the USA? Hold my hand and I’ll take you there Who will I become In the USA? Hold my hand and I’ll take you there |

Stephen Lawrence Winwood, del 12 de mayo de 1948 |
Black night down heavy on my weary brow Light shining in the pouring rain Can see somehow cold comfort in the broken trees But I won't let it bring me to my knees I'm not flying, but I'm not drowning now Keep driving, don't matter if the highway's lost Keep running, never turn your head Count the cost ghost waiting where the roads all cross Big deal waiting when you get to meet the boss Clouds are breaking, I'm not drowning now Drowning now.. Flying, but I'm not drowning now.. Sad old man smiling with a shameful grin He thinks that we never can lose Never beat the dealer when he cuts the pack First back to front, then deal front to back Now I'm flying, I'm not drowning now... |

His wisdom flowed from Heaven's Book Just like threaded pearls Just like threaded pearls He left his self to flee to God And God sent him back to us He was born to be the beloved A will of the Divine He was born to be the beloved He was born to guide He prayed all his nights alone And stars and angels sighed And in the day, he lead the way With blazing words so bright He was born to be the beloved A will of the Divine He was born to be the beloved He was born to be kind He taught the people to worship Bowing to one God, bowing to one God His mercy stretched from east to west To every man, woman and child He was born to be the beloved A will of the Divine He was born to be the beloved Nature sublime He opened up the doors of love For every heart parched with thirst He was a mercy to the words And unto the human births He was born to be the beloved A will of the Divine He was born to be the beloved He was born to guide |
