Loki (Monday 14th March 2022)

Loki has a quiet moment as he plans his next mischief.

I got pictures of him outside, in the conservatory, here in C's breakfast room and in his special cardboard box (in Extras).

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Timmy Thomas - Why Can't We Live Together (recorded 1972, Dukoff Recording Studios, North Miami FL)
R.I.P. Timothy Earle Thomas (13 November 1944, Evansville IN - 11 March 2022, Miami FL)
Timmy Thomas wrote the song after recently moving to Miami, Florida, and hearing Walter Cronkite on the radio reporting on the number of deaths in the Vietnam war. In a later interview, he commented:
    I said “WHAT?! You mean that many mothers’ children died today? In a war that we can’t come to the table and sit down and talk about this, without so many families losing their loved ones?” I said, “Why can’t we live together?” Bing! That light went off. And I started writing it then. “No more wars, we want peace in this world, and no matter what color, you’re still my brother.” And then after that, put it on this little tape, and went to WEBF, which was a local radio station. And they played local artists then… they played it, and the phones lit up. They said “Man, who is that?” And I did it as a one-man band! That was my foot playing bass, that was my left-hand playing guitar… Could never believe that as a one-man band, something like that would’ve been played that much. But I do believe that the world was ready to start changing a little bit. And that song made the change.
The song is notable for being recorded in mono; its sparse, stripped-down production, features a Lowrey organ, bossa nova-style percussion from an early rhythm machine, and Thomas's passionate, soulful vocal.Thomas recorded a demo at Dukoff Recording Studios in North Miami, Florida, with Bill Borkan acting as sound engineer. ...This song simply gives an antiwar message.
The song begins with 2 instrumental verses, followed by the instrumental interlude, before Thomas sings the verses at 1 minute and 45 seconds into the song.
TK Records staff producer Steve Alaimo listened to the demo of the song and was going to re-cut it with a full band, but then decided the song was already finished the way it was. - Wikipedia
By far his best known song and his only single to make the charts, but this song is much played to this day and has also been recorded by Steve Winwood and Sade.
