be well, buddy

See, now Beau, I was a huge fan of hers: read a couple books about her in high school just as she was nearly instantly/simultaneously at her height (brief it was yes, but quite impactful), and folks CALLED me Janis - because my hair was the same then (all of OURS was!), and we had some similar features and I was a "bit of a bad-ass" at that time... I know, hard to believe, huh?

And our family watched the Tom Jones Show weekly, and I have NEVER seen this clip of her. I am BLOWN AWAY and literally taken aback... (!)

I was probably out partying that night!! (In like, 8th grade!!!)

WOOO-HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

(I'm wondering if the background music is The Big Brother and the Holding Company that she was first with, in recording - before most of us new her simply as Janis Joplin, a solo recording artist? It really sounds like them...)

THANK YOU MY FRIEND!
