Go Ask Teagan

Timothy Price53 Comments

Teagan’s vocals on White Rabbit are flawless. Click on the image to see her video.

Teagan is celebrating her birthday with a tribute to Grace Slick by singing a cover of Jefferson Airplane’s White Rabbit, the iconic song based on Lewis Carrol’s Alice in Wonderland and associated stoies set to a relentless Spanish Paso-doble (Spanish march) rhythm. It is probably one of the best known songs from the psychedelic 60s.

I was nine or ten years old in 1968 or 1969 when I first heard White Rabbit played on a local radio station. Not being an avid Lewis Carroll reader at the time, I had no idea what the lyrics were about other than tripping. I actually thought it had something to do with Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant, which was released in 1967 a few months after White Rabbit, but I had heard Guthrie’s album before I heard “ White Rabbit” played on the radio.

We met the three coyotes on the levee again this morning.

A friend dropped by, and we played guitar for a while. Silver plugged in after my friend left.

So, so you think you can tell 
Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain 
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? 
A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?†

We have received 0.44 inches of rain over the past three days. That’s as much rain as we received in the past three months.
