... I've decided to take up oboe playing again ...

Earlier today I was noticing how just this one instrument I work on needs much more practice time than it's been getting.  For me, any other instrument will have to wait until the next lifetime.

Nice Oregon video.

Well, I got the RAM upgraded, I got the OS upgraded, I got the browser upgraded - and now the fool machine says "No Audio Output Devise Installed".  So I can watch the vids, I just can't hear them 
And I lost 23 years of bookmarks.

Another excellent jazz number by Bassist Bambo Kino !!!

My group started working on Black Orpheus, here's a nice version by David Grisman ...

New Galactic Cowboys and Sons of Apollo.

I really enjoyed the Sons of Apollo -
Is one of the guitarists necks a continuously fretted stainless steel, ala John McVie?


<edit>
So the side bar on YouTube wanders and meanders and can lead us astray....  after the Sons of Apolo I watched several more videos and ended up here - Norah Jones covering Black Hole Sun.
In an odd way it reminds me of Bill Murray's lounge singer act, but her creative talent is nothing to laugh at.

Just listened to the Grisman tune; nice afternoon interlude.

The fretless fingerboard on Ron Thal's doubleneck is called "".  with another of the same model guitar but with different paint.

Sons of Apollo has some well known players.  Supposedly a full time band and not another one off project.

I really like Sons Of Apollo. There's a stellar lineup of musicians there. Have you checked out the song "Lost In Oblivion" on the album?
It' smokin'

Well, there's actually a medical basis. I've been having trouble sleeping and while I don't think I have full on apnea, my sleep doctor suggested that I might have a touch of it and playing didgeridoo would help. I did some research and found out that oboe strengthens the same muscle areas, so it seemed like it was worth a shot.

Well, awright!  I got my bookmarks back, I got my sound working, and I can join in again!
Digging the Oregon, Grisman, and Muzeau so far; here's a little - because you cannot get enough Bryn Davies!

Peter (who will confess to digging the rest of the band a bit, too)

Peter; congrats on getting your computer back together.  And thanks for the Peter Rowan; that one was very nice!

Oh, and you've got some catching up to do.  Don't stay up too late.
