Trane

Trane will always make me think of her, and that won’t ever, ever, ever stop hurting.  Today is the anniversary of the birth of John Coltrane.  So, I’m going to be slightly more fucked up today than usual.

Waltz for Koop sampled Coltrane’s “Greensleeves”

Here’s John Coltrane himself on TV. Hard to imagine what TV used to be like. What music used to be like.

And finally, if you can go here, you can hear Lucinda Williams sing “Righteously”, the song that marked the beginning of the love affair — notable for the line “Be my lover don’t play no game, Just play me John Coltrane.”

What a fucking world.
