Live Tracks, March 16, 2023: The soundtrack of a long-ago party

Fri, 03/17/2023 - 10:25am | Bill Buchanan

Jim, November 2015.JPG

This edition of Live Tracks commemorates the party thrown when the host was 10,000 days old, 40 years ago this week.

Live Tracks didn't exist for another three decades, but its spirit was alive and well that night. Lava lamps were lit, cool recreational beverages of choice were in good supply, and this week you can hear the soundtrack.

Some songs even have the pops and crackle of well-loved vintage vinyl.

Multi-instrumentalist Mr. Dave, as he was affectionedly called, was a musician's musician: a session player as well as solo artist who always chose the right notes and tones. Best known for helping to create Jackson Browne's signature sound in the '70s, Lindley also led his own bands -- Kaleidoscope in the late '60s and El Rayo X in the '80s -- as well as playing in duos with percussionists Hani Nassar and Wally Ingraham, frequenting the Palms Playhouses both in Davis and Winters. This morning we explored some of his many musical projects with Ry Cooder, Henry Kaiser, Linda Ronstadt, and many others.
