Missionaria Protectiva

        Born in 1950 in Auckland, New Zealand, she started recording for  Zodiac  at age 13. Five years later she had a massive crossover hit in NZ with  I Have Loved Me A Man  which sold 85,000 copies in a country where 5,000 is gold. Moving to Australia at the end of the 60s she was named "Queen of Pop" in 1969, 70 & 71. In the mid-70s she became one of the biggest country stars in Australia, although was largely forgotten in NZ. Sadly her career later declined and she was in the news in 2007 after being jailed in a drug case in Melbourne.

        Between 1970 and 1975, Murray toured alongside Elton John and recorded on some of his most noteworthy albums. Though he only made a brief appearance on  Tumbleweed Connection , he can best be heard on John’s live record,  11-17-70 , as well as  Honky Chateau  and  Goodbye Yellow Brick Road . After working on  Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy , John dismissed both Murray and Olsson from the band and the rhythm section went to Los Angeles in search of other session work.       Once moving to the United States, Murray recorded and toured with a number of artists, including Rick Springfield, Jimmy Webb, Yvonne Ellliman, Bob Weir, Alice Cooper, and John Prine. He rejoined Elton John’s band for a brief time in the 1980s and later moved to Nashville, TN. After a long bout with cancer, Murray passed away in 1992.

         Though Buddy Guy will forever be associated with Chicago, his story actually begins in Louisiana. Buddy was just seven years old when he fashioned his first makeshift “guitar”—a two-string contraption attached to a piece of wood and secured with his mother’s hairpins.       In 1957, he took his guitar to Chicago, where he would permanently alter the direction of the instrument, first on numerous sessions for Chess Records playing alongside Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, and the rest of the label’s legendary roster, and then on recordings of his own. His incendiary style left its mark on guitarists from Jimmy Page to John Mayer. Left My Blues In San Francisco Chess,1967 https://www.sendspace.com/file/u0jy48
