Thanks for the Blues from the Rainforest; really nice!  First I've heard of this album.  Love Garcia's playing here.  Will have to look up the album.

I was listening to this link my guitar playin' coworker sent me, while piddlin' unproductively in the shop last night; Peter Rowan, jamming with Phil Lesh, and a few of the folks you would expect to be in on that jam. Looks and sounds like a good time.

THEATRE OF TRAGEDY

This band form Norway has been an influence on my writing efforts for a few years . The lyrics are late middle to early modern English from 1400-1800 AD , written by frontman & poet Raymond Rohonyi and  female vocalist Liv Kristine with whom I recently was a student  of ,in her online vocal instruction .

Growing up (after an extended Beatles obsession) I found 'progressive', intricate performance style music to be valuable.  Often anything with lyrics was poo-pooed.   The soundscape of talented musicians painted a picture, words weren't required.

Now as I 'mature' it is recognized that all music is valuable.   Heard a snippet of a song on social media yesterday, and of all things, the vocals grabbed my attention. 

Today I am diving into a Ray LaMontagne rabbit hole.

This is gorgeous.  While I love watching him play this, it is, in my view, even better just listening with eyes closed.  Liked it so much I purchased the single.

Peter might find this interesting; and anyone else interested in Front-of-House.  Rick Beato interviews Dave Natale, who is currently running FOH for the Rolling Stones and has run sound for lots of big name bands over the last .. I think he said 45 years.  I enjoyed it and learned things.
