FROM FAIRPORT CONVENTION'S ALBUM, "LIEGE AND LIEF", "COME ALL YE"

The late, great, 20th century clairvoyant and channel for the Ascended Masters, Edgar Cayce, said that everyone should make music...play an instrument... even if you can only play a kazoo...or just hum along... make music...it is as important for your soul as sunlight is for your body...

"Come all ye rolling minstrels
And together, we will try
To rouse the spirit of the earth
And move the rolling sky
Those that dance, will start to dance
And those who don't will stay
In time to [unverified] our merry tune
That we play for you today
So, come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the earth
And move the rolling sky
Our fiddler, he just loves to play
And that's why he plays so good
And now he plays a violin
Made out of solid wood
So, come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the earth
And move the rolling sky
Possessor of the magic touch
And no magician he
Will play for you some magic notes
Instead, as you will see
So, come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the earth
And move the rolling sky
Sound of beating on the drum
Song behind you'll hear
And to the rhythm of guitar
We hope you'll lend an ear
So, come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the earth
And move the rolling sky
Well, the man who plays the bass does make
Those low notes that you hear
And the high notes come from you and me
For we will sing so clear
So, come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the earth"
And move the rolling sky

If you love the music of the mid to late '60's the 2019 release of "Echo In The Canyon", a documentary produced and directed by Andrew Slater, hosted by Jakob Dylan, is a must see... imho.
Michelle Phillips is prominent in the account and the reminiscing.
It's a fascinating story about the small, but well known, community enclave that exists between the San Fernando Valley and Hollywood in the Santa Monica Mountains and back-in-the-day it was a place where some of the most influential musicians of the time were living and congregating. In the '60's, Nor Cal had Marin Co. and "The City", aka San Francisco, but in So Cal, it was Laurel Canyon. I grew up about five miles from there and my dad was just exiting the music "industry" in 1964, so I know of a few of the studios and the producers mentioned in the film.
It is also includes the last known video taped interview with Tom Petty before He died.
Interviews with David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, Brian Wilson, Jackson Browne, John Sebastian, Ringo Starr and Roger McGuinn, to name more than a few, are in the film.
Jakob plays a number of the classic songs of the time accompanied by various musicians that were a part of the ortininal groups that released those songs and also accompanied by a bevy of contemporary female vocalists that, I think, were perfect for the tunes played.
Regina Spektor, Cat Power, Jade Castinos [whom is so lovely and is so exuberant in her performances... wow:love:] to name a few.
The album produced from the soundtrack, "Echo In The Canyon", is solid, through and through.
See It, hear it and, if you're old enough, re-live it.
You youngsters likely will enjoy it too.:smile:
