Pioggia – Rain

Mag30



🌸Pioggia🌸

La pioggia
con il suo ticchettio
ci conduce fuori dal tempo
ed è enfasi e respiro
in questo abbraccio
che ci accompagna
dove tutto è possibile
sospeso tra aliti di magia
all’interno di questa stanza

🌸Rain

The rain
with its ticking
it takes us out of time
and it is emphasis and breath
in this embrace
that accompanies us
where everything is possible
suspended between breaths of magic
inside this room

Verità – Truth

🌸Verità🌸

Sprazzi e strappi
per cogliere attimi
e tuffarsi senza timore
dove la verità appare

🌸Truth

Flashes and tears
to capture moments
and dive without fear
where the truth appears

🌸Infinito🌸

Quando le porte
della percezione si apriranno
tutte le cose appariranno
come realmente sono: infinite.

When the doors
of perception will open
all things will appear
as they really are: infinite.

Crosby & Nash sono un duo musicale statunitense composto da David Crosby e Graham Nash. I due artisti sono anche attivi assieme nel supergruppo Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young fin dalla fine degli anni ’60.

Come duo, Crosby & Nash hanno lavorato nel corso degli anni ’70 e nella prima metà degli anni 2000.

Crosby & Nash

In addition to solo careers and within the larger aggregate of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, the musical team of David Crosby and Graham Nash have performed and recorded regularly as a duo, mostly during the 1970s and the 2000s

After the success of Déjà Vu and the subsequent break-up of the quartet in the summer of 1970, all four members of CSNY released solo albums. Crosby’s If I Could Only Remember My Name and Nash’s Songs for Beginners appeared in 1971 and missed the top ten. That autumn, the two good friends toured together as an acoustic duo to favorable reviews, one night from which would be released twenty-seven years later as Another Stoney Evening. Consequently, in 1972 the two decided to record an album, resulting in Graham Nash David Crosby, which reached #4 on the Billboard 200, ensuring that the two were still a viable draw without the more successful Stills and Young. Further work together later in 1972 was precluded by Crosby’s participation in The Byrds‘ reunion album recording sessions. In 1973, the pair joined Neil Young for the tour that would result in his Time Fades Away album, Crosby collaborated with electronica artist and Grateful Dead associate Ned Lagin, and Nash recorded a second solo album, Wild Tales. During this time, singularly and together they contributed backing vocals to various albums by associates in the California rock scene, including Stephen Stills, Harvest, Late for the Sky, and Court and Spark.

In 1974, both dutifully joined the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young reunion tour and attempt at the recording of a new album in Hawaii, sessions for which had continued in fits and starts after commencing in late 1973. After failing to complete an album Crosby and Nash signed a contract with ABC Records. Presumably for contractual obligations to their old label, the cassette and 8-track tape versions of their ABC LPs were issued by Atlantic. Recording activity yielded two albums in 1975 and 1976 respectively,Wind on the Water and Whistling Down the Wire. In that bicentennial year, Stephen Stills and Neil Young invited the duo to a recording session for their album Long May You Run. Crosby and Nash were forced to leave the recording session because they had time constraints to complete their second album for ABC Records, so Stills and Young wiped their vocals, releasing it as The Stills-Young Band. Crosby & Nash vowed not to work with either Stills or Young again, that oath lasting not even a year as they reconvened with Stills for the second Crosby Stills & Nash album in 1977.

ABC released four albums by Crosby & Nash prior to its being bought by the MCA conglomerate in 1979. In addition to the two abovementioned studio albums, the concert document Crosby-Nash Live appeared in 1977, with a compilation The Best of Crosby & Nash in 1978. All four albums featured their backing band The Mighty Jitters, consisting of Craig Doerge, Tim Drummond, Danny Kortchmar, Russ Kunkel, and David Lindley. Session bassist Leland Sklar alternated with Drummond in the studio, and the line-up of Doerge, Kortchmar, Kunkel, and Sklar had previously recorded as The Section, providing the back up for the first Crosby & Nash album on Atlantic. Depending upon availability of the various members, the twosome would either tour as a full-blown electric-based aggregation or in a semi-acoustic format with Doerge and Lindley. When CSN reunited on a more or less permanent basis in 1977, Doerge followed the group to Miami for the CSN sessions, contributing to several songs and collaborating on writing the song “Shadow Captain” with Crosby. Crosby and Doerge continued to collaborate regularly until the early 1990s.

In 1979, Crosby & Nash attempted a new album for Capitol Records, but sessions were dampened by Crosby’s increased dependence upon freebase cocaine. Sessions eventually appeared on Nash’s Earth & Sky without any songs from Crosby. Crosby’s problems during the 1980s with drugs, and his prison time, precluded any duo activity with Nash, the pair appearing on the CSN and CSNY albums of that decade. The 1990 CSN album Live It Up started as a Crosby & Nash record, but like its predecessorDaylight Again which was initially sessions for a Stills & Nash effort, Atlantic Records refused to release anything that didn’t include the full trio.

In 2004, Crosby & Nash released their first original studio record since 1976 with the double-album Crosby & Nash on Sanctuary Records, which featured backing mostly by members of Crosby’s band CPR. A single CD version was released in 2006 when CSNY began its “Freedom of Speech ’06” tour. On the Graham Nash box set Reflections, released in February 2009, the last track “In Your Name” was recorded on 21 October 2007 by the same band used for the 2004 Crosby & Nash album, including David Crosby on backing vocals.

«Non dovete credere in ciò che avete udito;
non dovete credere nelle tradizioni
solo perché sono state tramandate per molte generazioni;
non dovete credere in una cosa solo perché gira la voce e molti ne parlano;
non dovete credere se vi viene prodotta l’affermazione scritta di qualche antico saggio;
non dovete credere nelle congetture;
non dovete credere che sia vero ciò cui siete attaccati per abitudine;
non dovete credere meramente a causa dell’autorità dei maestri e degli anziani.
Invece, Kalama, dopo averle attentamente esaminate,
accettate solo quelle cose che avete sperimentato e trovato universalmente benefiche
e lasciate perdere, invece, quelle cose che presentano caratteristiche nocive».

Anguttara Nikaya, III, 65
“You do not have to believe in what you heard;
you do not have to believe in the traditions
just because they have been handed down for many generations;
you do not have to believe in something just because a rumor and many speak;
you do not have to believe if there is produced the written statement of some ancient sage;
do not have to believe in conjecture;
do not have to believe it’s true what you are attached by habit;
must not believe merely because of the authority of teachers and elders.
Instead, Kalama, after having carefully examined,
accept only those things that you have experienced and found universally beneficial
and let loose, however, those things that are harmful characteristics. “

Anguttara Nikaya, III, 65
