“A new concept of celebrations beneath the human underground must emerge, become conscious, and be shared, so a revolution can be formed with a renaissance of compassion, awareness, and love, and the revelation of unity for all mankind” -wiki

note: Nostalgia sound. Instead of jazz and soul, this one is blues, folks and psych-rock. One of those songs that send you back several decades back and all of a sudden one sees how it all starts. The form the lick, the attitude. Your ears snap and your mind click… They say, 10 years time lapse is out of date, 20 is retro, 30 is classic and 40 years is timeless. It’s the entire vibe from the late 60’s. It leaps out again from ether of memory. (or so they say. I am making a short series specifically for… you guessed it, smoking. )
