It's a Beautiful Day is an American band formed in San Francisco, California, in 1967, featuring vocalist Pattie Santos along with violinist David LaFlamme and his wife, Linda LaFlamme, on keyboards.
David LaFlamme, who as a youth had once performed as a soloist with the Utah Symphony Orchestra, had previously been in the group Orkustra playing five-string violin. The other members of It's a Beautiful Day in its early years were Val Fuentes (drums), Mitchell Holman (bass) and Hal Wagenet (guitar). Although they were one of the notable San Francisco bands to emerge from 1967's Summer of Love, the band never achieved the success of contemporaries such as the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and Santana, with whom they had connections. The band created a unique blend of rock, jazz, folk, classical, and world-beat styles.
Evidently it has sat for some years misfiled under the name "Marrying Maiden" when it correctly belongs snuggled up with, as it were, my Incredible String Band LP's, in the "i'" section right between Isaac Hayes and The J Geils Band, keeping the world in its eternal balance of yin and yang. Somewhere in this Bearcave there's a copy of It's A Beautiful Day, their eponymous first album too that's eluding capture...
Those and David LaFlamme's solo "White Bird" LP make a tasty sam'wich of early psychedelia that're just good enough to eat!
F***ing violin playing hippy rubbish.
Ya... ain't it great rubbish though! The kind of rubbish I'd wanna keep. BTW I was one of them back in the day... never really lost that. I do hope you get over the hate stuff.
Well, you definitely beat me to that, man.
Far out !
