A Musical Interlude Between the Dying

It seems that I don't haven't been blogging as much as I'm used to. I'm feeling a lot better since the surgery, but still am not back to full strength. And this week I go back in the hospital for another procedure, nothing life threatening and done as an outpatient, so hopefully I won't be there for another week. But it seems that everytime I sit down to blog I'm blogging about someone dying. Some of the people I mention are just names from some famous action or cause, others even though I don't know them personally still mean something to me.

The song here is "See The Light" from a group called the Textones. The song comes from their album Midnight Mission released in 1984. The lead singer of the group is a woman named Carla Olson. At the time of its release there was a lot of hope for this group to hit it big from their record company and a lot of critics. Since most of you have never heard of the group or the lead singer you know how well that worked out. One of the founding members of the group was Kathy Valentine, who left to join a new all girl group the Go-Gos.

Carla Olson has continued to make music. She has played with a lot of other well known musicans, including making music with the late Gene Clark of the Byrds. She has three albums coming out this year, past work with her group the Textones, with Gene Clark and with Mick Taylor.

I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better. I hope this next procedure goes well and doesn't set your recovery back.

Take care!
