Comment of the Moment: Joel Bernstein Interview & The Laurel Canyon Scene

Laurel Canyon Documentary: In The Making and Call For Material

Our Comment of the Moment is from "Joel Bernstein Interview | The Bob Lefsetz's Podcast" by Greying Rider: 

Thank you so much for this. 

I've always loved Joel's work and to hear him talk about his life is wonderful. There is something about the way he (like Nils and Cameron) was accepted at such a young age by Joni, Elliot, Neil, Graham and the whole Laurel Canyon scene that I struggle to get my head around. But it points to how kind, constructive and hard working all these people were. 

It is sometimes easy to assume people got into the scene by just being in the right place at the right time, though the way Joel talks about how much time he spent on learning Joni's songs and mastering photography shows how you need to have a driving passion. 

Often, one makes one's own luck in life.

Thanks so much for the Comment of the Moment Greying Rider!

Glad you enjoyed the  "Joel Bernstein Interview".  Talk about being in the right place, at the right time?!  It does seem that the whole 60's Laurel Canyon scene really was like traveling into another dimension.
