Thanks for the McCoury and friends.

That's great Rob. 

Del by the way, absolutely one of the nicest guys in the music biz. What a great human being.

Indeed. I played Delfest in 2008 and hung out for 10 minutes. He had no reason to remember me, but a month later, he came up to me at Dunegrass and it was like we'd been friends for years.

What am I listening to now? Bootsy Collins. Always. Constantly. 24/7. For weeks, now. Xander is obsessed and he knows how to operate iTunes. A very funky 5 year old.

I never thought there could be too much Bootsy. Still not there, but maybe getting close.

Just finished listening to Dan Wilson's Re-covered.  May be my favorite release by him.

Dan is a singer/ songwriter that played in Semisonic and Trip Shakespeare.  He has written a whole lot of material for other performers - on Re-covered he plays his songs that were made 'famous' by others.

I love the power and drive of this arrangement of "Warfield"... though our version is somewhat different.



These folks must have just grown up on the opposite side of the mountain from us. 

Chicago - 25 Years Of Gold
Has early and late stuff.  As another member pointed out - Peter Cetera is an underrated bassist, but we also should not neglect the genius that was Terry Kath:

Horns, gritty vocals, tearing guitar and a drummer laying it down.

enjoy!

Well, crap - now YouTube tells me my browser doesn't recognize any of its formats; does this mean I finally have to break down & upgrade my XP?

I couldn't agree with you more. First serious band I played in during college was almost exclusively Chicago, BS&T, and to throw everyone in to a total state of confusion...Zappa.  What always impressed me about Kath was that his singing was as unique as his playing. Both were instantly recognizable. Unfortunate that Cetera's taste turned to mush and Kath visited the grave so early. Their first three to six efforts were incredible

It was Chicago 17 for me. Mush, yes indeedy, but it was easier to get the girls to dance... then I discovered basses... oh nevermind. 

Just kidding fellas. Good stuff. I always enjoy where this thread goes. 

Have any of you Chicago fans checked this out?

Still on Frisell :

Jerry Garcia Live Series Volume  9, 8/11/74. I've really been into the 1974 Jerry band stuff lately.

Just saw Chris Minh Doky Band last night in Copenhagen Denmark (). This is an example of what they do...not tonight's concert. Never heard of him before but he is an  amazing bassist.
