JACK RIELEY, 1942-2015

Attached is my Facebook post about Jack Rieley. Long after his days with The Beach Boys, Jack and Jaye Muller lived in that mansion at the foot of Orchard Street hill. Personally, I think Brattleboro and Marlboro, Vermont, were Jack's true home. At a time when his health appeared to be returning and he thought he was recovering from major health trouble, he told area people he was looking to return to Brattleboro. It should have happened but he died before it could. RiP

So hard to shed the life of before
To let my soul automatically soar...

Marlboro College played a big part in changes to the popular music community in Brattleboro in the 1970s when John Roberts and Tony Barrand joined the Marlboro psychology faculty.

One of my favorite Marlboro College stories has to do with Emmylou Harris being booked there, many years later ... as a SPEAKER. She couldn't believe they weren't looking for her to sing. So, she held her guitar up high while both singing and playing into the same microphone. Emmylou's singing voice was not to be silenced.

The music collection I am compiling has tracks you should hear. The first is by Jacob's Reunion (incorrectly credited to John Coster). The Bandcamp illustration shows Yosef Oxenhandler of that band. RiP Yo.

It was recorded in the barn by the diner on the road from Brattleboro to Marlboro.

The second is falsely credited to Extreme. Extreme wrote it and had the hit but this is sung very prettily by Carolyn Mehta, whose photograph illustrates this post.

To me, it is beyond belief that I am the only person who has bought the Carolyn Mehta track via Bandcamp.

I'm hashtagging this message, against the possibility others may want to hear either of these two beautiful pieces. [It has become necessary to use the hashtag, #musicfeed, to get your posts picked up by the Music Feed.]
