About Me
- CONTESSA VANESSA
- Curtsey to Ava Gardner, a real Countess :-) . I get happily lost in gothic enterprises, not least masquerades and light witchcraft rituals. The Castle is the perfect space for this and for playing great music day and night. I love to collect vinyl records (from folk to acid, psyk, prog, pop rock, jazz, etc.) and, place number two, BOOTS, Stivali, Stiefeln.....! Whoever feels to be as bizarre as I am , please follow me.. we're definitely ensured to get LOST together...! LOL . Don't "twist" your eyebrows for the title I use for myself ... originally, till a few generations ago, my family was really still of noble descendance... Hence the "Countess" :-)) . One big KISS, . your gothic Dame Vanessa **
In the late 60s, at the Second Fret on Sansom Street in Philadelphia, Linda Cohen opened for Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Joni Mitchell, John Fahey and Dave Van Ronk, whose blues-inspired guitar playing influenced her style.
ReplyDeleteLinda's album, "Lake of Light" (1973), & "Leda"(1972) were critically acclaimed and presaged by a full decade the fusion of classical, folk, blues and electronic music now known as Psych-Folk. Her album, Angel Alley, followed in 1982.
Charles Cohen (Theremin, oscillator), Jefferson Cain (sitar, autoharp), Mandrake Memorial's Craig Anderton (production, Celeste) and Michael Kac (harpsichord) played on her albums.
She supported herself by performing, composing and teaching guitar for more than 35 years out of the Classical Guitar Store on Sansom Street.
Sadly in January 2009, Linda Cohen, pioneer Philadelphia guitarist, composer and teacher died of lung cancer at her home in Center City.
