ReplyDeletethank you...............sorry about before, didn't know that I had posted it twice and the first one didn't have the videos in.......opps..........realised what I'd done in the end.
ReplyDeleteVery good, thank you Loretta.
ReplyDeleteone of my most favorite singers, I love listening to her-anytime.
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind, I used the share feature here to set up a link to this blog
nice post loretta
ReplyDeletelike this alot..thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteIn the 60s, my sisters had a Janis Joplin album. I was a fair bit younger than them so they would play 'Hair', The Beatles and some others, including Joplin. I remember them playing the album "Cheap Thrills" and the track "Piece of My Heart" would be heard coming from their little mono player. The album has some pretty interesting art work on it. The song Bobby Magee was popular with them too. As childhood memory is still pretty good, I remember the lyrics to the song pretty well.
ReplyDeleteI don't really know what a share feature is But of course I don't mind at all Kathy. Doing this page was so enjoyable, I spent the evening listening to Janis deciding which ones to include, I could listen to her all night
ReplyDeleteI love Janis's whiskey and cigarette voice. I could listen to her all night too. Connie Tom's pictures are perfect with this post, Loretta. I made a comment on her page and she sent me an e-mail thanking me, which was very nice of her.
ReplyDeleteYes I have used her paintings before, they certainly have a lovely quality about them, I searched and searched for paintings to compliment the voice of Janis..............and in the end went back to these, glad you think it was the right choice.
ReplyDeleteShe was so talented, yet so sad, with a number of destructive addictions...such a waste...It's fortunate that people had the foresight to film her and record her when they could.
ReplyDeleteyes you are so right, i've always thought this woman had so much more to give, her talent was raw and in time I believe she could have gone on to produce even better things with her music. So sad, what a waste
ReplyDeletei often wonder why so many talented people wasted themselves?
ReplyDeletethank you very much for sharing
