サンフランシスコ・ベイ・ブリッジ 閉鎖中

すぐに、思い出したのが、フィービー・スノウのサンフランシスコ・ベイ・ブルース

この歌は、クールだと思うが・・・


1984年、VENUS-Pのテストで、シリコンバーレーを訪問した。

休日に、サンフランシスコへ行った。

青い空、大道芸人、フィッシャーマンズ・ウォーフで食ったカニ・・・

サンフランシスコは、穏やかな街だった・・・

Phoebe Snow Lyrics
" San Francisco Bay "

i got the blues from my baby down by the san francisco bay
an oceanliner took him so far away
well i didn't mean to treat him so bad
y'know he was the best friend that i've ever had
y'know when he said goodbye
likely to make me cry
and i've got to lay down and die
oh, and i ain't got a nickle and i ain't got a lousy dime
and if he don't come back
i guess i've got to lose my mind
i guess i'm gonna lose my mind
and if he ever comes back to stay
it's got to be another brand new day
when i go walking with my baby
down by, the san francisco bay

meanwhile somewhere in some other city
oh boy, i'm just about to go out of my brain
and y'know why?
because i thought i heard my baby call me
the way he used to call my name
and if he ever comes back to stay
it's got to be another brand new day
when i go walking with my baby...
talkin' to my baby...
singin' to my baby...
oh yeah and a clingin' to my baby
when i go walkin' with my baby
down by the san francisco bay

久しぶりに、聞いた・・・


クールなフィービーだからこそ、歌えるブルース

リリシズムを感じる。ブルースでも、ネガティブでない。逆に、ポジティブだ・・・

フィービーのマインド、ハート、ソウルをクールに表現している。

やはり、名演だ・・・

演歌の「逃げた女房」と正反対のマインドである・・・

---Wiki
Phoebe Snow (born Phoebe Ann Laub on July 17, 1952) is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist, best known for her 1975 hit "Poetry Man".

Snow is described by The New York Times as a "contralto grounded in a bluesy growl and capable of sweeping over four octaves."[1]

Personal life

Born in New York City, Snow was raised in a household where Delta blues, Broadway show tunes, Dixieland jazz, classical music and folk music recordings were played around the clock. Her father, Merrill Laub, was an exterminator by trade and her mother, Lili, was a dance teacher who died of bone cancer.[2] She grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey and graduated from Teaneck High School.[3] As a teenager, she carried her prized Martin 00018 acoustic guitar from club to club around Greenwich Village, playing and singing on amateur nights. Her stage name is the same as a fictional advertising character created in the early 1900s for the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, a young woman named Phoebe Snow, who appeared on boxcars traveling near her hometown. She changed her name from Phoebe Laub to Phoebe Snow.[4]

She was briefly married to Phil Kearns, and, in December 1975, gave birth to a severely brain-injured daughter, Valerie.[5] Snow resolved not to institutionalize her but instead care for her at home, which she did until Valerie died on March 18, 2007 at the age of 31. Snow's efforts to care for Valerie greatly and negatively affected her professional career, nearly ending it; it also adversely affected her personal life.[6]
Snow continues to take voice lessons, and she studies opera informally. She resides in Fort Lee, New Jersey.[6]
