Friday night music: Time machine friends and family

How’s this for a Friday night music thread...

There’s a two artists that are in my head

The first modern Aussie who I found in the last week or so - I’m really diggin’ and chillin’ to - Dope Lemon (aka Angus Stone).  Thinking his vibe is perfect for a blistering heatwave.   

The second is Stephen Stills.  I’m far from knowdegable about CSNY but I really liked watching him and listening to his stories in Echo in the Canyon.  I then found an album of his called Manassas and really dug it man.   

I can picture a hot night in Laurel Canyon in ‘72 and Angus and I jump in a time machine, grab some icy brews and laze around watching Stills and inspiring great new music.  

Whoa.   That’s a trip dude.  

50 year gap connection.
