I grew up in New Concord, OH (pop ~800); this past weekend we went to visit my folks.  This has been running through my head ever since.......

This Tune has been an earworm for the past 4 days!  I can't believe A Mighty Wind is already 15 years old!

Mitch and Mickey 4 ever!

Great movie.

My first "paying" sound gig was for a folksinger, and I've spent a lot of time in those circles; loved the flick because, not only is it great in and of itself, but I know those people!

Another great folkie flick is Inside Llewyn Davis;   Llewyn pretty much is the guy I worked for (except my friend had his own cat).

And, of course, any time I deal with the family, I think of this one:

My first exposure to folk music.  From my favorite album when I was young ...  VERY young.

Bill, tgo

Hartford tune I've been working on...

Stick Men

Packed my bags by Rufus featuring Chaka Khan

Nice Rufus tune; thanks!

Another thematic night; She's Italian, and Sunday means spaghetti (actually ravioli tonight) - and, while She is an anomaly - a Chicago Italian who disdains red wine - the German-Scots hillbilly in the house doesn't eat spaghetti without it.  Which got me in a mood:

The Willie was nice this morning Coz. 

After a crazy 20-day run at work, I finally got a few days off. James Taylor's "Mexico" got stuck in my squash a couple days ago, I guess from wishing I was anywhere other than inside the fences at work. So this morning, I'm channeling Jimmy J., who at some point was channeling Lee Sklar, and trying to figure out that slippery bass line.

The late Mr. P.R. Nelson - who was not just a randy little tart.

I mean, of course he was a randy little tart, but that unfortunately seems to overshadow the fact that he was a freakin' monster:

Loved the Commander Cody ^^

Always enjoy Papa Bear (aka Tony Levin).

Went to see Lake Street Dive last night and absolutely loved the show.  For me they are on caliber (different style) with the Tedeschi Trucks Band... every member is super talented and they add 'just the right amount' to their songs.

After seeing the show and questing for more on YouTube I realized that someone posted their version of the Jackson 5's I Want You Back here sometime ago.  Here is their version of a classic, well worth the full listen for the Cat solo and the bass solo (Bridget Kearney does amazing things on the upright).  Highly recommend that listeners explore their original music as well... very satisfying.
