Happy Birthday, Pearl!

January 19, 1943, Janis Lyn Joplin was born in Port Arthur, Texas.
[she would've turned 69 today...]



Picture of a well-known poster at the time of her successful rise to fame. I had an identical poster on my apartment wall in San Mateo, California, 1969. I wish I still had it. One of my favorite images of Janis.

Very fond memories of a period in my life when her music enveloped me like a warm blanket....

Great poster! I loved her!

And Happy Birthday (yesterday) to you, too, Cecil! Hope you enjoyed your Mexican dinner.

I reckon I'll always have fond memories of Janis... I was fortunate to have seen her perform live one time.

... and si!, Dor'... we enjoyed our Mexican meal. I had chili rellenos and SooZ had entomatadas. Good stuff.

feliz cumpleaños, dear Cecil!!!!!!! I know you are a late capricornian but I´m bad with the exactly-numbers, great to know you had a good day!!!!

(Janis is too acute for my hears but the photo is fantastic, gracias for sharing it!!!!!!!! )

I am wishing you many healthy returns of January 19 amigo. Sorry I am a couple days late.

Speaking of fond memories, I been thinking of Etta James tha past couple days.

Someone called her a chanteuse, I guess Pearl was too, not a bad thing to be I think



>sorry about the post edit>

That is beautiful and it makes me sad, too, but at least with it is an opportunity to be sad and happiness to have been influenced by her, the touching our world, small world.

Happy belated birthday, Cecil.

Janis was one of the great singers of her time and will always be remembered by those enthusiasts of by blues and rock.

It is sad not only to have died so young (like Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison for example), but to have died a lonely woman. It compounds the story of her life in ways that will keep her alive for many.

btw: Janis had her birthday one day after my own, two years before my own.

thank you!
