...of Time and Rivers...  All era folk & psych-folk mix. Songs peak & interlude in & out in the famous tradition of live Grateful Dead shows. Talking about ebb & flow... just like a river flowing...  as the very sands of time... Pete Seeger captured the essence of the inevitible passing of time wonderfully on two songs; River of My People & Of Time and Rivers Passing - both included here, the latter sung by Richie Havens  in salute. See if you can spot any other river songs... Enjoy some SF Grateful Dead party vibes as we continue to commemorate & celebrate Bob, Phil, Jerry and all the other greats up there after Bob Weir's recent passing.  Stella Blue,  Stella Blue When all the cards are down There's nothing left to see There's just the pavement left And broken dreams In the end, there's still that song Comes crying like the wind Down every lonely street That's ever been ....  Stella Blue    ^^stream & do...

Give Peace a Chance 2026   Topical folk songs, many lamenting and protesting war. Economically motivated conflict benefits only the very few while causing immense damage, loss & suffering. The forecasts for 2026 are ominous as the new year immediately kicked off with more illegal US foreign aggression and more threats against sovereign nations. People link up and demand an end to unnecessary warmongering, sabre-rattling and war conscription while pressuring governments to follow the UN Charter on Human Rights and  show full support for  the ICC, the ICJ, the ECHR and the UN itself so they can all get on with their work in making the world a better place for us all.
