Authenticity is Everything
The Musicians of Laurel Canyon and the Sunset Strip.
I'd like people who join this little blog to discuss the amazing hippy musicians who convened on a little town called Laurel Canyon, in West Los Angeles, to play their music together. Let's use our words, pictures and autographs to better describe the music, the scene, the decadence, the alliances and the fallouts of the greatest gathering of talented musicians ever to assemble in one place during such a short period of time.
The music movement in Laurel Canyon was also a reaction to the social and political injustices that the musicians saw happening all around them.
These young, idealistic musicians thought they could change the world, specifically the socioeconomic and political status quo that they so eagerly tried to escape. The late 60's and early 70's were turbulent times, with a lot of political and social upheaval. The hippies in Laurel Canyon were reacting to what they saw happening, particularly the war in Vietnam. They wrote lots of protest songs; songs of hope, change, of coming together, stopping the war, hanging out and learning to love one another.
Let's discuss the club's these musicians played in, along side other soon-to-be greats, in order to hone their skills and create new alliances. The clubs were a 5 minute hitchhike south of Laurel Canyon: The Roxy, Whisky-A-Go-Go, Troubadour and more.
This should be an amazing adventure. Won't you join me?
I welcome all your creative input and your memories.

I know Josh. Jackson is tough. Jackson's signature on and 8x10 color photo was one of the first autos I bought. I love it.

Thanks Josh,
I love my David Lindley signed concert promotion card. He's one of my favorite of all guitar and lap steel players.

Well, I wonder what defines a Laurel Canyon musician. How long must they have lived there? I don't know in John Sebastian lived there, but he did play on Morrison Hotel, he was asked to be the fourth member of Crosby stills nask befor neil young and he plaid on De ja vue. Amongst many other things

Laurel canyon sees like such an anomaly, but maybe not. Of great composers, arrangers and musicans who did pioneering work, I wonder how it compares to beal st.?

The Musicians of Laurel Canyon is just a generic title...something to call my blog.
For Collecting purposes, the musicians of Laurel Canyon, for me,consists of anyone who was or became famous who lived there, visited or hung-out there from the late 60's to the scene's complete demise in 1973. That's a lot of people. I'm also collecting musicians who were, during the same time period, playing either The Troubadour Night Club or The Roxy. That's where most of the Laurel Canyon musicians and their friends played. I'm skipping the Whiskey-A-Go-Go club. That was a whole scene unto itself.

Is Jesse Colin Young part of Laurel Canyon? I think he lived in 1970s somewhere in Marin County

In the books I've read on Laurel Canyon, there was no mention of him being there.
