Amazing collection of music and artists, Tom....well-written! Kudos! Never had heard that Simone tune, and you put it in brilliant of-the-time perspective! I also didn't know Hancock played sessions on a Marvin LP!
As a Houston native, I'm gonna take a stab at the location of the McCormick Field Recordings cover shot: Houston, 5th Ward, downtown or nearby.
I know there was/is a Dowling Street, and many streets, decades ago, had rectangular prism street signs made of cement!

And I don't know Houston at all but guessed that the cover photo had to be Houston or Dallas. Thanks for that....
thanks!
So glad you're back & thanx for another great post!!
