Klima / ‘A Trick of the Sea’ (Piano Magic cover)

You, waking up from a dream of the sea, safe in the harbour from sailors like me

Dadawah / “Zion Land” (from Peace and Love, 1974)

Rahsaan Roland Kirk / “Salvation & Reminiscing” (from Prepare Thyself To Deal With A Miracle, 1973)

Thank you for your kind words - the feeling is definitely mutual. At the moment, circumstances are making it a bit impossible for me to keep up with tumblr. But when I casually log in & run into your posts, it never fails to make me smile. Thanks for that. I hope you’re doing well.

Connie Converse / ‘Empty Pocket Waltz’

Elizabeth “Connie” Converse wrote personal and hauntingly beautiful songs. She spent the 1950s in New York City, where she shared her music with her circle of bohemian friends, but never made a commercial recording. Connie left New York discouraged — and in 1974 she wrote goodbye letters to her friends and family, and disappeared.
