And here is the perhaps earliest female rock drummer...  Maureen "Moe" Tucker.

Camera by Andy Warhol (demonstrating that an artist excelling at some expressions of art can suck at others).

 

 

Love the Velvets... hadn't seen this clip before, was cool to see Nico moving around. 

 

This is in my top ten albums of all time... chick drummer And bass player, from 1969, rare as hell... again, I have a reissue. Dora Wahl kind of blows the doors off of Moe really. Its kind of like the mamas and papas to the tenth power...

Well, I am a scientist. Thus, I dug a bit further and stumbled upon a female jazz/big band drummer, Viola Smith. Here is a clip from 1939. She died in 2020 at the age of 107.

Inspired by the movie Elvis (well worth seeing) this song wasn't in the movie but I think its neat they interposed a girl drumming.  In the movie real Elvis footage was edited into the actors replication it was really cool and well done just as a side note

 

 

 

Polk Salad Annie was written by Tony Joe White, and his performance beats Elvis by miles (well, it is difficult to do the pelvis gyrations when you have to play guitar at the same time)...

 

 

My favorite Tony Joe White song...  Usually, singers/songwriters are not very high on my preferred music list. However, way back in Germany a TV station had a competition asking for songs mentioning types and/or models of cars, and the "Continental Lincoln" in this song made the list.

One of my favorite bands. They just made one album, the eponymous "Heron Oblivion". All the concert clips I could find from this band had Meg Baird's vocals turned even further down than on the record and I decided to go with the album audio instead.

Three outstanding live versions of one of the finest rock songs ever, "Dear Mr. Fantasy" (written by Winwood, Capaldi and Wood of Traffic). The two first versions feature Jerry Garcia on guitar. First, the Grateful Dead...

 

 

Now, Traffic with Jerry Garcia...

 

 

Several excellent cover versions of this song exist, e. g. by Crosby, Stills and Nash (I really liked Steven Stills' vocals) or Jimi Hendrix. However, IMHO the best cover by far is by Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper. They are expanding the song into territory not touched by the original. And they incorporated the "Hey Jude" theme 20 years before the Grateful Dead. Enjoy...
