The GREAT SMOKE OFF-hazy daze & smokey muse



Many a tune has been written and sung in homage to the great WEED--probably the most useful plant ever outlawed in the history of man.

Beyond its pleasures, the hemp plant can be used for real medicinal cures, to weave a fine and soft fabric for our clothes, to transform into fuel to run our machines...a truly useful product of nature that the oil industry long ago saw as a threat to their wealth & helped to outlaw its use...someday they'll need it, and we'll be free to enjoy this miracle of nature again.

In the meantime, we have the music it has inspired, and great memories of those hazy daze...and for some, the time is still today.

...................

So share some of your favorite tunes that get you high and raise your soul to musical heights...
