Without Mother Maybelle & Sister Rosetta, lead guitar would not be what it is today; it might not even be.

I had never heard of him, but as you point out his career looks pretty extensive.  The track you linked is quite nice.

I hadn't either, but he had quite an interesting journey.

40 years ago, yesterday: (yes, 40!)








The "Tusk" double-album rather infamously never really got a lot of respect, at least not in its time, but there were both pop elements, and poetic values hidden throughout some just plain weird stuff. It was definitely not Rumours II.

If you like older Pink Floyd, here's a band pulling off Atom Heart Mother live.

Atom Heart Mother! Fabulous.

Just got back from seeing Arlo Guthrie; really good show!
It was a family thing; his son Abe played keys & sang backup - both quite well - and the last third or so of the first set he turned over to his daughter Sarah Lee Guthire; here's her part from earlier in the year:

He also mentioned Folk Uke, which is his daughter Cathy on uke & Willie's daughter Amy Nelson on guitar:

That's a pretty good cover.    Wow, I can't believe October is halfway up... where did it go?! I'm sitting here drinking coffee this morning, trying to decide what to listen to today. Just finished working 10 days straight, and got 4 days OFF to spend in my shop now.

Dave Alvin:


And I just noticed I screwed up my links above & gave you Cathy Guthrie twice; here's Sarah:

Sarah Lee was nice this morning, Coz. The Birchmere, up in Arlington, VA. for what it's worth, used to be a fantastic place to see a show. Glad to see it's still there.

The Dave Alvin has some nice guitar tone.

Evelyn Glennie, a TED Talk on how to really listen.

It is lengthy at just over 30 minutes, but interesting, and her marimba performance around 27:00 is beautiful.
