Speaking of Country Stores and a musical connections (yesterday’s Buzzyblog post), let’s check a famous Country Store located in Laurel Canyon, California. It served as the go-to store for many 60’s California musicians and eventual rock superstars (click here.)

Landed on this YouTube video on the Store and its history:

There is also a Prime TV series/documentary that discusses the music and the musicians from back in the 60’s. Here is the trailer for that documentary:

Joni singing about her lady friends in the Canyon reminded me of Chief Larry’s song about the Women of Buzzy’s. See what you think:
