Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
I was nowhere / Till you changed my mind / Love is sent through being good to you / Then you were somewhere / Somewhere hard to find / Only what you always were, it’s true / I’m looking for an open door / Where I can sit, and play in peace with you / Tomorrow changes / Fields of green today
Smack in the middle of the Jewish high holidays—according to the ancients, this the year 5780. To this, Jews say “L’Shana Tova.” Its basic translation is “good luck dude!”
Musically, today’s Idelic Hour set has been very satisfying. Honestly in a week of crazy energy, I wasn’t thinking of music, new or comfortable. I felt far off. As October 1 rang in, I reached for The Doors’ first album. There is something about that album that goes with the quality of sunlight in southern California in October. It’s almost as if it’s now part of my DNA.
In a week when I have felt like an outsider looking at a foreign planet, last night I came back home. I watched the Dodgers, and afterward retired to the confines of my garage office and my music.
Once again, songs have saved me. Funny, on my desk I had written a memo to myself from last week: “Rock my soul.”
Enjoy a classic Fall weekend. XO
