That's where Elton John, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, the Eagles, the Byrds, Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Van Morrison, Buffalo Springfield, and others, established themselves – next door to Dan Tana’s where Frank Sinatra used to hang out and where the Eagles wrote “Lyin’ Eyes” – but there's a new "Save Our Stages" mural on the plywood encasing the Troubadour. There's hope. There's pending legislation, the Save Our Stages Act introduced in the Senate in July, to provide Small Business Administration grants to music venues and theaters and other venues that rely on crowds in order to operate, to tide them over until crowds are possible again. That may save the Troubadour. Until then, everything is visual. ~ Monday, August 17, 2020
