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.

Here's a Monkees auto I bought from Roger Epperson for about 300 bucks.
As you know, Mickey Dolenz and Peter Tork both had houses in Laurel Canyon. They even shot an episode of a Monkee's tv show there.

As you may know, Linda Ronstadt had a thing going on with J.D Souther in Laurel Canyon. Here is a young and sexy picture of her from that era. I bought it from Roger Epperson from about $150.00.

I can still hear it.......and shortly thereafter, Jimmy Carl Black (MOI) as " Geronimo Black" band, concert almost burnt the civic down (Glendale) when a liquid benzene light show caught fire on the raised scaffold, packed house, panic ensued and ended the concert prematurely, concert over. Cant remember if it was Blue Cheer.

Dave,
If you upload the photos to the site and set up placing them with links they will be here forever. If you're using your cell phone it's hard to place images, but if you're on the PC then it's easy.

In his book, Neil Y, said he bought one of the Rat packs daughters to his cabin in the canyon, but he locked his cat inside for one week, where there was cat s*** everywhere and the chick split.

Crosby, Stills & Nash (and sometimes Neil Young) where all living in the Canyon and Nash was shacking up with Joni Mitchell in her cottage home up on Look Out Mountain. Here is my Crosby, Stills and Nash auto purchased from Roger Epperson for around 350 bucks. It's a signed tour book.
