I'm 71 and the thought of listening to 55-year-old when I was a kid was so foreign to my friends and me, and here we are listening to 55-year-old music in 2023/24.

I heard this when it came out in 1967, 57 years ago as I write. All of the music of the 1910 charts that I would ever have recognized (“Let Me Call You Sweetheart”, for example) I had already heard in grade school. The music from 1910-1967 changed a lot more than from 1967 until today. The great thing about modern musicians mining old music is 1) it really showcases how musicianship has reached a higher level and 2) for old guys like me, it helps tune my ear into new musicians as a gateway into their contemporary material.

For real my first concert aside from from bluegrass festival is a little kid was on Jefferson airplane with Grace looking everybody with my Uncle Phil at Saratoga performing arts center in upstate New York and I was incredible show just awesome the next year I got to see Lynyrd Skynyrd with my uncle again and then after that it was just wide open concerts everything I could go to but yeah I got to love this absolutely just freaking awesome!! I think the Jefferson airplane show is probably like 87 86 87 somewhere around there

Slick sang it with and ever-increasing urgency that climaxed into desperation....matching the snare drum cadence with what appeared to be unlimited horsepower for her vocal delivery...Obviously never getting the recognition for the quality in her voice...but able to lay claim to establishing a timeless classic that's as good now as it was way back then.

Thinking back to the week in 1967 when White Rabbit hit the air waves. I recall when my family was driving back from the lake on a Sunday and my Mom and Dad were quite happy to let the radio blare out 'modern' music. White Rabbit came on. Right away I told my parents then that White Rabbit would become a number one hit for Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane. Even though I love Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway, there will never be anyone who can top Grace Slick's rendition of this great song. On another note. Molly has great legs.

This is a kind of rustic jazz from The Great American Songbook (ca 2023) and these are the kind of people who can play it. First there was folk rock, then acid rock. Now they run with it and make it jazz. This is roughly what happened in the 20th Century with blues, croon, torch, and swing when jazz versions proliferated throughout the fifties, sixties, seventies, and eighties. It is high time we jazzed the rock.

I suspect it's because it's one of those songs that's SO well known and SO amazing and SO iconic and SO closely associated with the original recording that it doesn't even occur to anyone to cover it. It's impossible to sing "White Rabbit" without being compared to Grace Slick, and the vast majority of singers, upon realizing that, are very likely to say "Right, ok, good thought, what's something else we could cover?" Molly went for it, completely successfully, but an even slightly less awesome singer could have just come off as embarrassing.

This 'collection' is a classic bluegrass ensemble. Bluegrass players are all virtuosos and when they get a little tired of the classic bluegrass sound, they do stuff like this. Search out David Grissman - Dawg music or Billy Strings and a host of others that take bluegrass in different directions. It's basically just playing 'music' on bluegrass instruments. It's great. There is jazz grass, jam grass, rock grass. It's easy to find a 'branch' of bluegrass that you would like even if you don't like the original songs of Bill Monroe or Ralph Stanley. Check out the songs of Scott Holstein who takes bluegrass into a direction that I personally don't have a name for. Go to the Station Inn in Nashville on a Monday night to hear the 'Carl Jackson Show'. $15 cover. Audience is silent ie they are there to listen. Check out Val Story singing with Carl at the Station Inn singing 'A ghost of a chance' written by Carl... link below, These are all bluegrass musicians but, let's just call them musicians. Have fun. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipmcmnuAabOreKM
