Well, I won't be listening to it much, but as I have mentioned, son #3 is a drummer - learned his craft in my house, in fact.

Guess whose son is getting a 10" hand drum for his 2nd birthday in couple weeks?

Pauldo, you will hear that 'Trout mask Replica' is the pinnacle, and it is in a way, but 'Doc at the Radar Station" is another...check out 'Lick my decals off Baby' though; maybe my favorite of all, but don't listen to it drunk; the musicians are often playing different time signatures against each other; hard to get  a bead on the beat..Tony

I just discovered (thanks to Acoustic Guitar magazine) the 1965 debut (and, in his lifetime, only) album by the tragically forgotten folk singer .

Maybe a not-so-weird coincidence; a guitar-playing coworker mentioned this yesterday evening. I assume it must have been a recent story. I'll have to listen to the whole album up in the shop.

Incidentally, today is his birthday. 

I'm back on a Jack Casady absorption diet, in preparation for seeing Hot Tuna for my first time later this month. I'll spare you guys all the links... 

~Gregory, who can report with confidence the March Winds did not blow his cares away.

Yeah, it was in the issue that came Thursday.

And I think I speak for everybody when I say - give us some links!!!

Peter

   well... okay.





They're going to be right here in Roanoke on the 30th... http://www.jeffcenter.org/hottuna ...having played on that very stage myself, the Jefferson Center is a fantastic venue, and as of now, I don't have a gig that Friday night. I'm thinking this is probably going to be a game-changer for me on the musical journey. Kind of like a required reading assignment. 

Andof Gregory's 1st link, perhaps the prettiest Strat I've ever seen - plus some nice close-ups of 72-01 in action.

Peter

That was a great concert, Coz. 

They must have filmed that same venue for a couple days... there is a point during "Water Song" on 3/22/73 that I wonder if maybe that's Mr. W. just behind the stage.



And yes, that bass sounds incredible!   

A little is starting the week off nicely!

Peaches En Regalia is the one Zappa tune I've played in a band.  We only had three players, and I was trying to cover more than just the bass part (though on a four string bass), and with results that were often somewhat less than cleanly delivered.  But in the bar where we played every month, it was the favorite of the regulars.

That tuba!!! Not just the solo part, he was killing it.  Made me giggle.

Heard this song and it brought me joy (intro is a juxtaposition of what lies ahead).

Had not heard Hot Summer Day in a long time.  Nice sounding recording.
