Written for: Sunday Muse #139 - Laura Nyro
One lucky summer night
my friend and I, both
lovers of Laura Nyro's
music, sat in Central
Park, and thrilled to
the sounds of Laura
at the piano, eight
months pregnant, in
fabulous voice. Fortunately,
I have all her music,
and it never grows stale.
Gone too young.

THAT sound like a perfect memory! I’ve been a fan of hers since I was sixteen and saw “New York Tendaberry” in another girl’s record collection. I wondered, wow, who’s THIS? Before long I had all her records. I used to turn off the lights in my room, light candles and listen to NYT. My mother took it as a sign of drug use. It wasn’t.

Back then, all mothers took darkness as a sign of drug use. She was amazing in person.

You were lucky to see her perform and Central Park is a beautiful setting. The beauty of music is that is lingers long after the artist is gone. So sad, that she was taken so soon!

She would be a natural for Central Park. Was it a concert or just under the trees. We had bands and singers and singer groups all over the parks here in the 60’s and 70’s. Janis Joplin came, the ZZ Top got their start here in Houston in 1968. I would ride my motorcycle from tree to tree, listening to group after group. Mrs. Jim heard Elvis in Shreveport, LA, at a playing for the Louisiana Hay Ride.
