Most excellent!

Bill, tgo

Wow - that was probably the best non-Dead "Sugaree" I've ever heard!

Weird coincidence. They have played at Dee's in Madison Tennessee (where I stream East Nash Grass from on Monday nights...) I watched some of their show. Yeah, they can cover Dead music well.


Here's Scarlet Begonias.

Allegedly they were formed as kick back to some foolish legislative behaviors.   
They are awesome musicians and great people that dress a little different.... no harm, no foul.  😎

Trombones are bass clef....
Saw this on Instagram and was blown away.  Horrendous audio but the power of William Bilal blowing puts itself front and center.

So great, those guys are still making music together. They've gotta' be approaching a longevity record. I got to see them in 2018, a fantastic show.

A couple of "Playing For Change" vids that I don't recall if they've been posted before or not - but if they have, well....enjoy them again!

The YouTube bots pinged me with this gem earlier today... Sierra Hull with Allman Betts. Man, she really is getting around.





If you watch some more of the show, Tal Wilkenfeld is on bass.

Less Than Face Productions posted Sierra Hull's band covering Bela & Victor's "Stomping Grounds" at Grey Fox this year.




Watching the Flecktones play it back in the day is a good review to understand how close her arrangement is. I am guessing she learned it straight from the guys.

Number 3 grandson (the one in AK; he's 7) had his school Winter Concert tonight; it was live-streamed on YT.
It was predictably (and adorably) awful.....

Peter (who will stipulate that perhaps non-grandparents might it somewhat less adorable)

A most interesting band from 1974,, NARNIA !
I have had the hook stuck in my head for days now !
Sing with me , Laugh with me, for I am The Juggler !!

Been listening to shows from the Allman Betts Family Revival tour. Opinions vary in the comments, but I don't have an axe to grind with any of it... I think it's great to hear their music played on generationally. They open the show with a recording of Little Martha, and slideshow. (whole 11/26/23 set here, Nashville, IN.)
