R.I.P. Marty Balin dead at 76

Marty Balin, singer, guitarist, and founding member of Jefferson Airplane has died. I will always remember him for his beautiful vocal on Today, for me the most beautiful ballad to come out of the San Francisco music scene in the 60s.

My dad had a triple album (back then there were vinyl records ) of Woodstock live. There was even a full length movie of Woodstock. I wonder if that is available. Maybe METV can do a midnight showing.

 

Here is Marty Balin singing @ Woodstock. The political world sure has changed since Dad was a kid.
