Yoko Ono

February 18, 2020 was Yoko Ono's 87th Birthday. Quite amazing, given that she is still putting out Dance Music that is popular in the clubs. I understand that it is really  a DJ Re-mixing her older material, however,  her unusual style of singing is accepted now; although when John Lennon was her biggest supporter from mid-1968 onwards, very few Beatles fans appreciated his commentary about her "Art".
Leap Years
On February 29, 1968, the Royal Albert Hall in London realized that there was an  extra day in February and they had not scheduled any  performances. (Hard to believe that no-one had a calendar in the office!) Ornette Coleman, the American multi-instrumentalist jazz artist, was in town and on short notice agreed to perform on that evening. 

A friend of mine from our school days, was a big Ornette fan and asked if I would like to go to the show; and,  I agreed. The biggest surprise was that Ornette had a special guest along with his Quartet - - it was Yoko Ono. My friend and I went to unusual modern music performers from time to time but nothing prepared us for Yoko!
Her style of Japanese "singing" was pretty much just a loud screeching wail.
It was quite an endurance to sit through her performance.

Oh, well, at least I could say that I knew about Yoko just before she and John became one of the most famous couples in the world. (February  1968, John was still in India.)
