"On My way to Bamako" ~ by EB & HK

 

Eric Bibb & Habib Goité

"On My way to Bamako" 

~ by Eric Bibb & Habib Koité ~

======================

Well, I'm on my way to Bamako
A place I always wanna go
I'm on my way to Bamako
To see what I can see.

Got a good friend there, Habib Koité
A great musician, by the way
Got a good friend there, Habib Koité
Gonna meet his family.

It's my first trip to West Africa
But I'm pretty sure
In some kind of way
It's gonna feel like coming home.

Well, I'm on my way to Bamako
Gonna leave behind the ice and snow
I'm on my way to Bamako
To see what I can see.

Gonna turn my face up to the sun
Close my eyes and thank the one
Turn my eyes up to the sun
That shines in Bamako.

It's my first trip to West Africa
And I'm pretty sure
In some kind of way
It's gonna feel like coming home.

It's my first trip to West Africa
And I'm pretty sure
In some kind of way
It's gonna feel like coming home.

Feel like coming home.

Octopus Garden ~ by Reina del Cid

 


 Octopus Garden ~ by Reina del Cid 

😊 💛 😊 

Back in March, Rachelle Cordova, who performs under the name Reina del Cid, performed a cover of “Octopus’s Garden” by the Beatles and it’s truly delightful. In the video, Cordova plays with lead guitarist Toni Lindgren and Travis Worth who sat in on bass.
The song was written by Ringo Starr with friendly support from George Harrison.

     Shostakovitch's opera is a surreal and brilliant work about a man who wakes up one morning to find that his nose has gone missing.

     "I came upon a child of God
     He was walking along the road
     And I asked him where are you going
     And this he told me
     I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm *
     I'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll band
     I'm going to camp out on the land
     I'm going to try an' get my soul free ."
~ Joni Mitchell 1970 🌟
