Original link was to three songs with some talking in between... the above/ edited link was the highlight for me.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I'm going to combine this post with an RIP; just found out Nashville studio guitar/banjo/bass stalwart Harold Bradley passed away Jan 31 at age 93.

What?  You think you don't know his work?  Allow me to disabuse you of that misapprehension:

That was quite a resume'... may he RIP. Being something of a country music student and historian, I'm pretty sure my old Nashville roomate schooled me on him a couple times. I shoulda' paid more attention to Ernie. 

Last night on AXS TV was the original lineup in the band UTOPIA. I was never familiar with Todd Rundgren's stuff but he used to come into my work in the 80's and I didn't know who he was until a co-worker told me he was a musician.

Anyway, I really liked the song Back On the Streets from OOps Wrong Planet, so I ordered that CD. I've been listening to different youtube versions of it and other stuff. So, Utopia today.


But I always have RUSH and Level 42 in my CD changer.


I'm also waiting for a new to me album with Jimmy Johnson to come in the mail. BUDJANA, DEWA FEATURING JIMMY JOHNSON...-Surya Namaskar

The Tal Wilkenfeld was nice Paul.    I've noticed she uses that 5-string more for vocal accompaniment, and played with that rolling fingerstyle... it's interesting how she's incorporated it into the act this way.

I myself was listening to an old Seldom Scene live album last night in the shop. Here's another take on "I Know You Rider".

Thanks for the Seldom Scene.

That was one of my favorite Seldom Scene albums back in the day.

Utopia had so my great albums that I liked. One of the big turning points for me musically, was when Todd produced Steve Hillage and used the Utopia musicians on the album. I was so blown away by the new sound, it changed my thoughts musically forever.

Nice tone.  Audience camera, moving around some, but sound of the guitar coming through quite nicely.

Thanks for the Steve Hillage, I hadn't heard that before.

This was really nice this morning:

Thick As A Brick by Jethro Tull. In the hot tub floating with my favorite beverage watching the International Space Station flyoverhead.  It boggles the mind listening to music from 1972 and tracking a Space Station with a phone you hold in your hand that's not conected to a cord and tracking space objects in real time.......Take That Jules Bergman! 

well this has nothing to do with el. bass but, I've been digging this guy for long time, so thought just to share it:



Also while I posted him, I remember this guy too, more classical, but man that sound is amazing..
