Venice was started in Venice, California in 1977 by cousins Michael Lennon (born 17 July 1959) and Kipp Lennon (born 12 March 1960).[1] Michael's brother Mark (born 28 March 1963) joined the band in 1978, followed by Kipp's brother Pat (born 9 November 1951) in 1980. Kipp and Pat are two of eleven siblings, and are younger brothers of the Lennon Sisters. Michael and Mark are two of thirteen siblings.[2]

On David Crosby and Joni Mitchell

The chemistry and music history bubbling up in 1967 from Laurel Canyon and beyond....
This is the song Joni presented at a party hosted by Peter Tork to David Crosby, breaking up with him... (story below)

That Song About the Midway

I met you on a midway at a fair last year
And you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear
You were playin' on the horses, you were playin' on the guitar strings
You were playin' like a devil wearin' wings
Wearin' wings, you looked so grand wearin' wings
Do you tape them to your shoulders just to sing?
Can you fly? I heard you can, can you fly?
Like an eagle doin' your huntin' from the sky
I followed with the sideshows to another town
And I found you in a trailer on the camping grounds
You were betting on some lover, you were shaking up the dice
And I thought I saw you cheatin' once or twice
Once or twice, I heard your bid once or twice
Were you wond'rin' was the gamble worth the price?
Pack it in, I heard you did, pack it in
Was it hard to fold a hand you knew could win?
So lately you've been hidin', it was somewhere in the news
And I'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues
And a voice calls out the numbers and it sometimes mentions mine
And I feel like I've been workin' overtime
Over time, I've lost my fire, over time
Always playin' one more hand for one more dime
Slowin' down, I'm gettin' tired, slowin' down
And I envy you, the valley that you've found
'Cause I'm midway, down the midway
Slowin' down, down, down, down

Different, fitting, timely....

After growing up a fan of David Crosby's music, he became my closest older friend. I'm heartbroken to lose him. But the arc of our friendship was perfect. Please listen to the Osirispod series we created together, with tons of rare music. Goodbye, buddy.🙏

Tangential to a discussion of moon goddesses, and Artemis, who was a three-in-one moon goddess...

"And just one answer comes to me..." Reminded of one of my all-time favorite songs, sung here too, some might say, by a goddess.
Written by David Crosby (Triad). Grace Slick wrote Lather (link below).

TRIAD - Jefferson Airplane, Crown of Creation (1968)

This is a decent video (audio-wise) for online; When this album came out (vinyl), & later on tape, with big amp & big speakers, this song - and Lather from the same album - would be two songs for which I'd crank up the volume and bathe in this beautiful sound.
