#internationaldayofpeace The International Day of Peace was established in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly. Two decades later, in 2001, the General Assembly unanimously voted to designate the Day as a period of non-violence and cease-fire. 📷 Jim Shea

So many lies are being spread to justify logging in our national forests. Read this to understand why. substack.com/home/post/p-...

⚠️ Trump is putting our Roadless Areas on the chopping block. We can’t let that happen. 📢 The time to take action to protect nearly 45 million acres of roadless National Forest lands is NOW. Call or write your representatives and tell them to keep Roadless Areas as they are – Roadless! #publiclands

Happy birthday to my friend Chrissy Hynde 🎸❤️

The James Taylor-Carole King-Jo Mama show would be a three-act extravaganza in which we would all play in each other's sets, culminating in a grand finale in which everyone would join James onstage to bring the show to a rousing conclusion." -CK "A Natural Woman" 📷 Peter Asher

These are acetates of demos Gerry Goffin & Carole King brought home from their sessions... An acetate disc is a type of phonograph record generally used from the 1930s to the early 1960s for recording and broadcast purposes and still in limited use today. #demos #acetates #songwriters #goffinking

Weekday mornings Coffee smell in the air After you’ve gone and the children have left for school I’m alone and I think about all the plans we made I think about all the dreams I had And I wonder if I’m a fool… #weekdays #ckdeepcuts

Roy Reynolds, an artist from eastern Idaho, had previously been a cowboy and an alcoholic, but by the time I met him he had quit drinking and had bought an Appaloosa colt to celebrate his sobriety. (Continued in comments)

"Keep Your Hands Off My Baby" was written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. The Beatles recorded the song for the BBC radio show Saturday Club on 22 January 1963. They also performed it in the following month on their first British Tour. It was released on their album, Live at the BBC in 1994.

For me, the joy of being a songwriter has often come from hearing performances of a song by different singers. Tony Orlando just sent me Ben E. King’s soulful recording of this song that Gerry Goffin and I wrote that Tony made famous. (cont'd in comments) youtu.be/PPjm8azgcJY?...

“When I was thirteen my dad bought me a portable phonograph—a gray-flocked metal turntable in a blue metal case with a handle that made it easy for me to carry it to the girls-only sleepovers we called “pajama parties.” - Carole King
