Robbie Basho "Kowaka D'amour" (Live) 1971 

Crazy that the only video of this guy is somewhere in a credits reel of a television show. Like even this, is on the brink of not being there

This amazing composition is what I heard on WBCN Boston in 1971 (it had just been released on his "Venus in Cancer" album) which first caused me to investigate this most unusual, talented, and still under-appreciated artist. His synthesis of folk and classical techniques and Indian/Japanese idioms has never been repeated. He was a giant, yet is still "on the brink of not being there", as someone noted here a year ago.

Godspeed you cosmic orphan

Waves cover the rock then they reveal it As the pines are battered and twisted such is love BASHO

Open C minor if anyone is wondering... 'The Grail Chord' as Robbie apparently called it.

Happy New Year My past, old dreams and memories I hope you'll be happy, Moonchild.

🙂❤️Love the music of Robbie Basho.... PS All the hay that he buys is already bailed. It’s in a stack, and they just buy the stack. 🙃

finally seeing this wow wow wow

I’ll get you for this one, Walt Bjerke!

Truly amazing to see a live video of his playing! Anyone have any ideas on what guitar he's using here?
