Loads of Weather report at the moment, I just love the amalgamation of african/latin/jazz styles that the late great Joe Zawinul and his superb musicians played.
'Nubian Sundance' sounds as if it were recorded yesterday!, and of course 'Birdland', 'Teen Town', 'Black Market' et al...timeless stuff.

Wes Montgomery/Wynton Kelly Trio--Smokin' at the Half Note
I?ve been in a Sergio Mendes mood the last few days myself, repeatedly playing a couple faves... the first one has our own Jimmy J on Bass!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toygcPCgsHw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toygcPCgsHw)
Then the second, a wonderful Dori Caymmi tune that Mender did in the album following Confetti... I think this is Abe Laboriel on bass, Am I the only one to think it has a certain Earth, Wind & Fire-ish feel at the chorus?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIL0i1tTtxU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIL0i1tTtxU)
(The sound here is not that good... try get the cd copy or any other source, it simply does no justice to the tune, arrangement and mixing!)

That is a true gem; I'll have to dust it off - Head For Backstage Pass has one durn funky bass line. (bow down to Wilbur Bascomb!)
Got a hold of Dan Wilson's latest (Love Without Fear) here at work - rather mellow but certainly his best yet.
Weather Report and pre-electronic Miles...though I'm more likely to be listening to the early stuff from the former than Terry (e.g.,I Sing the Body Electric, Sweetnighter). At the other end of the spectrum I've been listening a lot lately to a semi-local group, Trampled by Turtles, from Duluth Minnesota (where we received 10-19 inches of snow today).

A lot of Meat Puppets recently; the albums since Chris got clean are their best(last 3) but all the stuff is good; one of America's best bands ever...Tony
The ecstatic giggles of Xander, who is now 22 1/2 months old. And loooooooves music.
The last album I listened to was an experimental Nels Cline trio record from his pre-Wilco days.
I've also been listening to a lot of baroque music, usually from Venice Classic Radio online.
But most of the time when I'm listening to music these days is in the context of transferring a huge backlog of DAT tapes of old bands, etc., to hard drives. It's interesting to go back to stuff you did 20+ years ago. I'm thinking of compiling my soundscapes and putting an album up on iTunes. I'll probably sell ones of copies!
Now that you mention it, Tony, I should check out the newer Meat Puppets. It's been on my list of things to do.
It is absolutely nice to read this, Edwin!. May you listen to Xander?s giggles and laughs for many, many years to come!!!
Edwin.
With Xander approaching two years of age you're heading toward Raffi territory (if you're not there already) and a load of other child oriented singers like him. Resist going in that direction if at all possible. If you fail to heed my warning you'll soon be finding out that it's almost impossible to get the simple rhythms and lyrics to songs like Baby Beluga out of your head even if your in the middle of the jam section of Dark Star
Uh oh. I've never heard of Raffi. I will be wary. Xander does have an affinity to for a bunch of songs on Youtube, especially if there is a school bus involved. But, we limit him to one 2 or 3 minute video a day, so it's not too pervasive, despite how nauseating some of the singers are. I will say that Xander sings a lot. I keep trying to record him, but he gets distracted by me and stops. He makes up songs endlessly. And he can sing all the way through the ABCs! . A few days ago, we had a bass and conga drum jam. So, lots of excellent music going on here these days. The cheesy stuff is held to a minimum. Oh yes, he also discovered the piano a couple of weeks ago when we were visiting my parents. He and his cousins started all playing at once. One cousin just played one note over and over and the other cousin banged out some random stuff and got bored, but Xander really started to explore the melodic possibilities. You could hear him really listening to what he was playing and experimenting with it. I was pretty amazed, given that his cousins are 5 and 7 years older than him.

I see he likes the low notes !!
Thanks for the pics Edwin.

The only school bus song I?ve ever listened to... and I think there would be no more after this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD_72U0b_2g (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD_72U0b_2g)
Edwin:
You might want to check out Burl Ives' old records, if you can find them. Great, intelligent, kid music without the unhealthy dose of sugar common to more modern kid music (i.e. Raffi, Barney, etc.).
Bill, tgo
Great idea, Bill! Also Pete Seeger, Arlo (it might be time for the Motorcycle Song) and others have excellent kids tunes. A friend of mine made an album about 15 years ago called Kids Are Funky People, Too, which I should dig out.
I love My Life In The Bush of Ghosts! Hugely influential to me in the 80s.
Also The Baby Tree from Blows Against The Empire, one of my favorite sleeper albums. (The Burl Ives tunes are some of my favorites I listened to as a little kid. I still remember a lot of them more than 50 years later. (OMG, did I actually just write that!!??)
Bill, tgo
Ibrahim Maalouf, albums Wind & Dignostic.... Superb mellow jazz with a taste of oriental flavour.
Otherwise Scott Henderson, in whatever formation, always...
And of course, Edwin, don't forget Not For Kids Only by Garcia-Grisman Band!
Peter (whose soul was saved at age nine by a college girl who rented a room from his Mantovani-loving parents and brought her Burl Ives and Peter, Paul & Mary records along)
Got Jaco's new release - Modern American Music . . . Period! The Criteria Sessions.
Great disc.
Previously unreleased material including an isolated bass track of Donna Lee. Proving once and for all it ain't bragging if you can back it up!
After reading Gregg Allman's book I went deep into the Allman Brothers. Berry Oakley is one of the masters.
I'm going to do a concert in August where we play all of Live At The Filmore. I'm tempted to put a 'Tractor' together.... unless my Alembicized Starfire is ready :-)
Pulling out my old vinyl albums and I came across stuff I have not listened to in say 20 years.
I am on a Brand X fest at the moment. I love the track Noddy Goes to Sweden written by Percy Jones off the Do They Hurt album.
Percy would have to be my all time favourite fretless bass player.
slawie
I love Brand X! PJ is indeed amazing. And, he uses a Wal bass, if I'm not mistake, with a number of similarities to Alembic.
I remember when they came to The Paradise in Boston and I blew it off, thinking it would be some lame punk band. Silly me.
Slawie !
I checked out that No Body Goes to Sweden AND Percy does indeed put the goods on the table ! Decent intonation on Double and triple stops ... Etc ... .. and the such very nice ! I like it ___
Is there no love around for Brand X?s Product album? It was my first and I loved it!
I own the albums;
Unorthodox Behaviour
Moroccan Roll
Livestock
Product (I love it also Juan)and
Do they Hurt
John Giblin plays upright bass on the Product album and also Do they Hurt. Another superb bassist.
These albums were available as import albums in Australia so the cost was high and availability was low.
Such are the burdens of living in the colonies during the 70's and early 80's.
The thing that surprises me the most about the band is Phil Collins on drums.
I earned a new respect for players that do the mainstream thing and also expulse expressive talents
with their chosen instruments in a free creative environ.
I think I may drop the needle on an old Alphonso Johnson - Spellbound album I found. Iv'e got to get me a dose of Chapman Stick.
Hey I just realised the Phil Collins (Genesis) and Alphonso Johnson (Weather Report) dotted line connection.
Edwin what a pity you missed that gig, I would have given my eye teeth to see them performing live!
Wolf, I am glad you liked the track. Jazz fusion in the 70's was and still is a large influence on my playing.
My mind says yes but my fingers have a different agenda.
slawie
A band I played back in the day covered Nuclear Burn and Disco Suicide. I saw Brand X at a long defunct concert club called B'Ginnings in the western suburbs if Chicago. At that time I think Kenwood Dennard was on drums as Phil was touring with Genesis but could be wrong.
Keith
(Message edited by keith_h on April 24, 2014)
Another Brand X lover here. 'April' from product was one of the first fretless solos I learnt. very tasteful. Giblin went on to provide some of the best bass lines on Kate Bush's work.
I'm currently listening to a huge mix of female vocalist stuff in preparation for an audition tomorrow.

A friend showed me Mike Gordon and Scott Murawski playing the Flaming Lips, and it's really well done.

Here's an official video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fae4FQ4McSY) for a tune off that new album. Sounds like Dream Theater; these guys are masters at what they do.
listening to the whole album, James does an incredible job making each character sound different. In general his voice sounds in a much better condition generally than the last couple of albums.

Alpine Valley Aug. 8, 1982 (https://archive.org/details/gd1982-08-08.unk.barrick.333.sbefail.shnf), with Zakir Hussien sitting in starting with Drumz & John Cipollina joining in from Not Fade Away.
After awhile in the parking lot, my buddy Bob & I wandered back to the car all aglow just as another car pulled in beside us and out climbed....well, ~5'5, slim but curvy, golden-brown hair to her waist, nothing under the plain white t-shirt, jeans cut off at the crotch then split up the seams to the waistband, fringed suede knee-high moccosin boots, and, on her right hand, one purple satin over-the-elbow glove with the fingers cut out.
We melted.
We still toast her to this day.
To the Purple Glove!
Peter
Peter , I can relate , brother .
I like that Brown/Osborne version, especially that they didn't lockstep the harmonies, choosing their own phrasing even when singing together. It somehow added, on a different level, to the story being told.
Joey, are you familiar with this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDjK_p64zdc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDjK_p64zdc)
One of the bands I was in did Cult of Personality; tough tune, but fun to play.
And with that, here's their powerful cover of Power Of Soul (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB10lWrJD-0), live 2001.
Dave , yes that Brown/Osborne My Back Pages 6/8 slow ballad is interesting . We might cover that in Easy Wind.
I was listening to reissues of Nash The Slash's first two albums; rather obscure instrumental stuff many of you have never heard from '78-79; he was also a member of the band FM...Tony
I discovered his Children of the night album a long, long time ago... got hooked by his Dopes on the water version... and his Prokofiev-influenced Wolf. I was heavily into the whole Numan-Slash-SoftCell thing... I later got more into Ultravox, Depeche Mode, Bauhaus, Joy Division, Peter Murphy... I guess I still am, a little..
Tedeschi Trucks Band.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=bIivRlhwvS4 (https://youtube.com/watch?v=bIivRlhwvS4)
They are solid and groovy. Particularly like Midnight in Harlem. And watching Derek play that SG so effortlessly is a joy.
Wolf, that's a great compilation of my back pages covers. Always been a favourite of mine as well. The Osborne/Browne is outstanding. Thanks for that!
Rick
Rick, I am glad that you like it as well ! .

Nice, Paul; thanks! Just watched the first tune; loved how it was arranged.

I was always nuts for Savoy's 'Street Corner Talkin' album. It always sounded like the best bar band, and it's very honest in the instrumentation and production of what little blues-ish bands sounded like back then. This was there take on H-D-H's 'Can't Get Next to You', a successful remake of the Temps' hit reduced to a chugging little shuffle, with a nice change of pace in the middle instrumentals.
My Back Pages, ah but I was so much older then . . . I'm older than that now !

With the talk of pit orchestras in another thread I felt compelled to relive a part of my only pit experience (thus far). Unfortunately there is no decent recording from the 4 performances that were put on by the Soulstice Theater Group; below are the 'real' versions.
From Chess the Musical.
The American and Florence/ Nobody's Side
Odd time signatures, killer bass line mirroring the vocalist in the beginning, such a blast.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=W0yQQMwnkhY (https://youtube.com/watch?v=W0yQQMwnkhY)
Then this song, Pity The Child, which every night the vocalist would miss a line . . . but not always the same one. The 'orchestra' (2 keys, 1 sax, flute, clarinetist a drummer and yours truly on the trusty Distillate) had no choice but to jump ahead and land together in the same spot as the vocalist talk about an exhilarating rush! We nailed it every time. Since we didn't have a guitarist we extended the end and were allowed to improvise with the sax player shredding and me pumping him along.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=EEhojI1ghmQ (https://youtube.com/watch?v=EEhojI1ghmQ)
And of course the most famous song from this musical; One Night in Bangkok, which allowed for some funky bass playing. Spankin' the plank on this one :-D
https://youtube.com/watch?v=guWuGh0ADcE (https://youtube.com/watch?v=guWuGh0ADcE)
I just discovered this great from watching a documentary about a little known band called Big Star.
Chris Bell was the founder of this band and his little known solo recordings are terrific.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VfJ8dGsAws (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VfJ8dGsAws)
This song in particular I can't stop playing.
Thanks for the reminder of the Chess soundtrack Paul... I actually have that whole thing on *cassette tapes* that are nearly worn out from non-stop play during my high school years. (dang, how I miss the 80's)
The fledgling alt. country band I've been recording with recently, is putting together a set of mostly originals with some covers mixed in. One of the tunes they cover well is Otis Redding's Hard To Handle, as played by The Black Crowes. I'm trying to borrow a few textures from Phil's lines here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hqsgr3rPvSQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hqsgr3rPvSQ)
Bonzo Dog Band - Hunting Tigers Out in India
https://youtu.be/LQxc0TWj5ow (https://youtu.be/LQxc0TWj5ow)
I love the reminders to listen or re-listen to things overlooked or long-forgotten!
quote:Otis Redding's Hard To Handle, as played by The Black Crowes.
With all due respect (+) when I read that I sprayed coffee on my monitor and made a sound like a water buffalo coughing up a hairball.
That's like doing Michael Bolton's version of When a Man Does A Woma ... well, Michael Bolton doing anything, and I think you know what I'm sayin' here.
It's an Otis Redding song, pops. Time for a refresher:
https://youtu.be/1ZxN9iQM7OY (https://youtu.be/1ZxN9iQM7OY)
Hear how Otis relaxes into the groove, especially when he sings that line at the top of the chorus; Pretty little thing, let me light your candle 'cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now, gets around, with a gentle lag - he takes the time - not rushed or stuttered.
That's mastery. The whole pocket is back on the beat, rockin' (Like James Brown's Night Train, the Live At The Apollo version where if the bass and drums lagged any more, the whole thing would derail in flames. That's what gives it that chugging uphill feel.)
Otis had a message, oh yeah. It's no secret what the song is about, and it wasn't to watch drunk teenagers spasming frantically on a dance floor. I like to think that Otis sang it to one particular person. That's the secret of that song. Listen to again. Think it worked?
Also, in 1967 Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass were all the rage (did you know that was the Wrecking Crew (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wrecking_Crew_(music)) with Carol Kaye on bass?), Johnny Cash had a mariachi horn section on Ring of Fire and Chet was in Nashville as head of RCA, slathering strings and horns on everything from Elvis to Jim Reeves and Johnny Horton.
So Otis can be forgiven the horns, I think, but I prefer the Black Crowes' intro and vamp back to the head (know what I mean?) their version of that line is pretty iconic, so now's your chance. Best of both worlds.
Nothing against the Black Crowes, really. It's me, I admit it. But their version is a stalwart of the wedding set list from Hell, along with Wonderful Tonight, Old Time Rock 'n Roll, anything by anyone even named Michael, Bolton Petty or Thorogood and of course; You Are So Beautiful (w/real tears + rose=$50) etc. ad nauseum matrimonii ... I've just been witness to its torture too many times, and in this case there's one of the greatest, coolest appeals to pure rut ever performed to resurrect.
Teach them the truth, brother. Show them the way. Do it for Otis.

Like the man said, 'boy, if you don't quit pickin' that thing . . . '. Here's a 90-mph version of an old chestnut, with Buddy Charlton on all-maple ShoBud, and Leon Rhodes wailing the other harmony voice in his arrangement of 'Steel Guitar Rag', from the early 60's when they played for ET.

Ed_Zeppelin -
Yep.
Here's a cool version of Hard to Handle with an unusual cast: Etta James, Grateful Dead, and Tower of Power Horn Section from the Dead's 12/31/82 New Year's show. (I was there - the entire set with Etta & TOP was outstanding).
https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=RD1DChW7LtosY¶ms=OAFIAVgB&v=1DChW7LtosY&mode=NORMAL (https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=RD1DChW7LtosY¶ms=OAFIAVgB&v=1DChW7LtosY&mode=NORMAL)
Bill, tgo
Good stuff! I was at that one too, we snuck in through a bathroom window, then duct taped the antenna of our boom box to a steel girder and recorded a crystal clear radio broadcast of the show as we watched it. Fun times and great version of that tune! Grateful Dead, how'd you guys get a name like that anyway? - Etta James
Wow, what a treasure! Thanks! I love it when Jerry was doing those 9ths on the backbeat, way up where Chet called the dusty end of the fingerboard, like something from a funk band (Tower of Power, come to think of it). God, he was so generous and humble. You could feel him settle into that groove like a comfortable sofa, and he left so much room for everybody to have fun.
Hell, by 2:30 it had become yet another unique version entirely (it snapped back with the horns at the end). Phil sounds really solid and muscular, even on these crappy iPad speaker (can't find my ear buds, at least my neighbors know I'm groovy).
I'll bet that was a killer show, you lucky dawg.
Thanks Bill, that was seriously delicious.
So silly question time, is there a recording of the whole set with Etta somewhere? The Dead, Etta and her energy and TOP horn section, how have I not heard of this for 30+ years?
I got to crawl out from under my rock more frequently.
All ya gotta do is ask! Here you go. Enjoy.

Thanks Bill!
I listened while doing chores this afternoon and really dug it.
Then I moved into Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Welcome Back My Friends . . . the whole album. While I was listening it was painfully clear how truly poetic the aptitude of Keith was, his versatility and skill . . . I guess they were not enough to cover his pain - so sad.

If I can make it 8-1/2 more years running this water plant, I'm going to retire from public service and get myself a gig like this one... actually, this same show is coming to Charlottesville, Virginia next month, and I'm thinking about going. I love the minimalist approach, no big stage production, all music.
(okay, okay, I'll admit to also having a little crush on Lee Ann...)

Thanks for posting that! I love Charles Lloyd and Bill. Great rhythm section.
Boy, life is so different from when we were kids. All this incredible music available without even leaving the house.
3 cheers!
The version of Shenandoah brought a tear to my eye - stunningly beautiful.
I agree Edwin, I have off of work, awoke at 03:00, got a cup of coffee, crawled back in bed and tuned in.
Good lord this thread is brilliant.

The girl that plays banjo in our neo-oldtyme band New River Bound is shopping for a new banjo... or rather, thinking of commissioning a new build based on a very old design. (sound familiar?) =)
Anyway, she very much likes this fella's work... this first demo is a strange one - a half-fretless banjo, meaning it's fretless down to the 7-1/2th fret, (?! yeah, you read that right) and fretted from there on to the end.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V4TRiGsjfI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V4TRiGsjfI)
And this is a similar model, but with all the frets. Jess really likes this tone, and it suits her playing style well. I like the simple retro design, especially the brass-plated frailing scoop at the end of the fingerboard.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbeZyHruk7Q (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbeZyHruk7Q)
I like the tone too; but then I know nothing about banjo tone.
What's the purpose of the scoop plate? Other banjos appear to have more frets there.
The plate over the scoop I guess is mostly just decorative, although it could be functional in the same way as a pickguard. These banjos are made specifically for the melodic frailed-style players, many of which play right over the end of the fingerboard (very much like we do with our basses to get a more mellow tone) so the makers will offer a scooped fingerboard to facilitate that style. I'm guessing they found an interesting way to dress it up.
The half-fretless is an idea I had considered have Alembic try on my bass.
Hmmmmm, half-fretless at which end of the neck on a bass?
I liked the sound of the fretless banjo, made it a little greasier.
Supergroup.
Stumbled upon this while cruising through YouTube, from punk to this amazing collaboration of epic performers.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=oDs2Bkq6UU4 (https://youtube.com/watch?v=oDs2Bkq6UU4)
Supergroup indeed. ^ Is that a JayDee bass Mark King is playing? I just assumed it was an Alembic until the screen froze for a second, and nope, definitely not.
I really enjoyed what these folks were doing about ten years ago. Robert Johnson and J.S. Bach would both have loved this band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB1ZGels-dY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB1ZGels-dY)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kakJBjYlM4
ps @ pauldo - regarding the half-fretless bass, I had in mind for a similar brass plate to go from the nut down to the 12-1/2 fret, and be fretted from there to the 24th fret. It would work, but would be unspeakably heavy since that brass fingerboard overlay would have to be as thick as a fret is tall. Think of it as literally a single continuous fret. (like Ms. W. said about McVie's stainless steel fingerboard) See, I'm completely comfortable playing fretless bass until I get in to the 2nd octave. (where I really ain't got any business anyway) At that point, having some frets there to clean up my questionable intonation seemed like a good idea, but the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like training wheels. I just decided instead to go with a fretless ebony board with sidelines, and practice harder. =)
One of the guys who works at the other end of our building is a gifted guitar player, and often brings me something interesting to listen to. It was Danny Gatton last month, but lately he's been on a Bill Frisell kick...

What grabs me about this musical collaboration is the bassist, Viktor Krauss -the name isn't a coincidence- he's Alison Krauss' brother. Anyway, I've studied and tried to emulate his tone since the first time I ever heard him play. (like probably 25 years or so)
with Jerry Douglas!

Morph the cat by Donald Fagen.
Bela Fleck and Chick Corea, Enchantment
Lubos Malina: Piece of Cake with Tony Trischka, Bela Fleck & Peter Rowan
I love Bela's playing. I've been lucky to see the Flecktones twice in Glasgow, once with Jeff Coffin and the second time after Howard Levy had re-joined the band. Both great shows.
Graeme
Going to see Corea and Fleck in Minneapolis in a few weeks and needed some time to reacquaint myself with their music.
Phil Ochs, Pleasures Of The Harbor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wwc8YM9HL8k).
Since the first time I sat around a dorm room baked playing 10 Desert Island Albums over 40 yeras ago, this one has been on the list; one of the greatest albums of all time, with wonderful songs & mind-blowing production - especially the last 3 tracks on the CD (which I will always think of as Side 2) - The Party, the title track, and Crucifixion. Sheer genius!
And some of the best liner notes ever, as well.
There is another song added at the end of the YT clip that is not from POTH

My favorite song, writing about song writing. I mean songwriting about writing songs. I mean, song about the Music Industry by Pinkard & Bowden. (http://youtu.be/Unpgep1EFB8)
I'm really digging the latest album from Esperanza Spalding: Emily's D+Evolution. Amazing bassist and singer. The songs (and bass playing - all on a fretless 5-string) is phenomenal. A bit of an experimental album from Esperanza (more rock than jazz)...
Mike Oldfield - Discovery (deluxe 2CD-version)
Just heard a minute ago, Merle Haggard had died, on his 79th birthday.
One of the bands I play in covers this hit from 1980, and I always look forward to this one in the set, especially the little ascending line at the end of each verse that sets up the chorus. I LIVE for that kinda' stuff.

Greg; I like that Crooked Still stuff!
And I loved that Bill Frisell tune, Gimme a Holler.
Just saw Rufus Reid Play tonight. Man he's smooth...and creative!!
I really like Rufus Reid's playing !
April 10th, 1990... Fleetwood Mac releases Behind The Mask, their first full-length album since the departure of Lindsey Buckingham. (although curiously, he played guitar on the title cut) Replacing Buck, are guitarists Rick Vito and Billy Burnette. One with deep blues/rock cred, the other a vocalist and front-man personality.
Although the album wasn't that well received, the project as a whole is a good example of what a band does on the rebound and rebuild. Unfortunately the new niche' they were looking for was already occupied by the fringes of 1990's pop-country, but I always thought this was a fun tune to play on bass. Listen how John still plays off Christine's left hand, even if it is on an accordion. =)

21st Century Schizoid Band, Live in Tokyo 2002 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhGuKbw2DE0).
Michael Giles, Ian McDonald, Mel Collins, Peter Giles, Jakko Jakszyk.
This is very good; with an especially nice Court of the Crimson King.
The Ray Brown piece was nice; great piano part.
Mile Davis and Gil Evans: Sketches of Spain and of course Mile's In a Silent Way. I can't listen to Miles without including that one as an encore.
Enjoyed Lady Be Good Rob... I used to play that with my buddy Tony years ago, and hadn't thought of it in a while.
Gregory, I'm glad you liked it, I love that kind of stuff. I saw Rufus Reid last week and he mentioned Ray Brown and how he was a big influence on his playing. Ray Brown had a little trill/hammer thing he does up in the first position, I noticed Rufus Reid does the exact same thing in that first position, interesting to see the adaptation of that specific technique.
Dave, that Crimson stuff was great! I used to listen to them a lot. I love the way they layer sounds and instruments, they use dynamics to build to high points and fall back off again as transition points in the music. I'll have to dig out my old records (yes vinyl!).
Brian, I love In a Silent Way, one of my favorite Miles tunes! I really like the bass groove in the middle with keyboards following and builds, then suddenly drops off, then quietly starts up and builds again. That's great stuff!
Just got home from seeing the Residents; they screened the documentary theory of obscurity then played live, their latest show based on shadowland the latest album...very cool, although perhaps a little too much Residents in one sitting! Such a cool band/concept/art project...amazing that they've managed to keep it on their terms for 40+ years...Devo started as something like them and couldn't keep that control...Tony.
I was very excited when Fleetwood Mac's Say You Will came out, since it was the almost-Rumours-era band's first recorded effort together since Tango 15 years earlier. Although she declined to tour with them, or rejoin in any capacity, Christine McVie played and sang on a couple cuts. Hard to believe that was 13 years ago today. April must have been a favorite month or something... anyway, I really enjoyed hearing them together again on these two.

Apparently, I'm not keeping up, as I hadn't heard of this band until today. Flying Colors, with, among others, Steve Morse, Dave LaRue, and Mike Portnoy.
Here's one of their tunes, Bombs Away (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsWtG6QWLKA)
And here they cover an instrumental from the Dixie Dregs, Odyssey (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lHLeEOmsLo), which is great.
I've long admired Steve's playing and writing, and this band is a good fit.

Thanks for the reminder on Crazy Diamond, Dave... I'd forgotten how much I liked the whole Wish You Were Here album.
Chick Corea (still one of the best at 74) and Bella Fleck live in Minneapolis. Heard music that spanned the ages, including pieces from an 18th century Italian and a 20th century French composer (Dutilleux) to straight bluegrass to jazz with a banjo. Definitely an amazing experience.
I had to learn the Van Morrison tune Into The Mystic from 1970 Moondance for a wedding reception gig this-coming weekend.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEvsDuJYEnI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEvsDuJYEnI)
I'm not familiar with the bassist John Klingberg (sp?) but I have thoroughly enjoyed figuring out what he played on this track. It's got a distinctly Motown feel to it. As an aside, I dialed the magical Alembic low-pass filter down just a little more than usual, and panned to favor the neck pickup... the flatwounds took care of the rest. =)
I had to learn 'Moondance' for my current functions band and in my digging around for inspiration I came across this (https://www.talkbass.com/threads/john-klingberg.389174/) talkbass thread about John. Quite a moving read.
Graeme
Graeme; that's a really interesting thread. Thanks!
Oh wow... I'd never seen that thread before Graeme. I need to think of a good post to revive it again. Like so many others, in the course of learning a song, I just stumbled upon some largely overlooked ingenuity.
In that thread, one person wrote that the first time he played Moondance, it was called at a gig. He thought it would be easy, but he butchered it.
I have the vague recollection that the same thing happened to me; it was called at a party I was playing, I thought it would be easy, but when I started playing, I suddenly realized it wasn't as easy as I thought.
I have another vague recollection that later I sat down and learned it. But that's been decades ago, and I doubt I remember it now.
Picked up Tedeschi Trucks Band new disc Let Me Get By (deluxe version with bonus disc).
Generally I am drawn to a more bass-centric type bands (not hating on Tim Lefebvre at all) but this band, live, recorded whatever, really strikes a chord in me. Every member cooperatively brings a bit of themselves that results in music that really blooms.
Stanley Clark and the late but great Roy Buchanan playing the song Adventures Of Brer Rabbit And Tar Baby.

Seems here lately, a lot of our musical heroes have been departing at an accelerated pace... knowing that it's just a normal part of the experience here doesn't make it easier.
I was playing a gig Saturday night, and while on break this tune came across the mp3 random play. The title made me think of my buddy Tony, who died very suddenly last Summer. In addition to being a musical hero, he was a very close friend, a brother really. I sent a quick text to his wife and kids and another close friend while the thought was fresh in my mind.
A little instrumental anthem, for my buddy Tony, and for all Those Who Have Gone Clear recently or long ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKx6fKAdnYs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKx6fKAdnYs)

Downloaded an archived show from last Sunday on WMSE (http://www.wmse.org/ (http://www.wmse.org/)) to listen to at work.
WMSE may be the greatest radio station ever, (2nd to Bass On The Broadband) they have an eclectic schedule covering all genres of music. And they play stuff you have never heard AND spin a whole lot of vinyl!
The show that I downloaded (free downloads in their archive section) was The Modern Chamber, a classical show with a bit of a spin, playing the likes of Edgar Varese, Giacinto Scelsi and others.
At the end of the show the DJ played Ralph Vaughan Williams - The Lark Ascending. We all know the power of music, this song transcended into my soul and blew me open. I am trying to find out who performed the version they played, there is a bunch on YouTube, the one I heard was just violin and piano. The tone of the violin was delicious.
This is close to that version; tune in, close your eyes and soar!

Wayne Shorter.
I haven't been listening to much of anything recently for a number of reasons; but yesterday I found myself listening to Wayne Shorter, from different periods, from the Miles Davis Quintet up to Shorter's current quartet. It was an education; I found that I had a deeper appreciation of, a deeper knowing of, music; just from listing to him. I've long thought that version of the Miles Davis Quintet was amazing, something special in the history of music; but yesterday was different. It was a deeper level of understanding, of knowing, of connecting. So that's what I've been listing to; Wayne Shorter. And I am grateful for the experience.
Dave,
I too am impressed by Mr. Wayne Shorter !

Animal Logic - first release - Stanley Clarke, Stewart Copeland and Deborah Holland. Not a 'bass showcase' by any means but certainly a good listen.
Speaking of Haden - Recently picked up The Haden Triplets self titled disc - song birds! Beautiful harmonies.
When I discovered Animal Logic?s first release, back in its day, I thought it was one of the best made pop albums ever, not by the pop music standards, but my own, personal music standards. Songwriting, sense of melody, good playing, musicianship, the sound... it spun for hours and hours on my CD player back then, and I became a fan. Years later I got their second release, and loved it as well (although not as much as the first one, I have to admit). I STILL think that album is really wonderful,

Anvil - This Is Thirteen
Ricki Lee Jones!
I agree with you whole-heartedly on that call Graeme.
I have played that LP so many times that I almost can hear both sides at the same time.
I still use the Easy Money bassline as a warm-up for upright bass gigs.

That Animal Logic stuff is good! I'll have to look for it for those times I need a dose of pop...my old bandmates were a bit weirded out when I bought Matthew Sweet and Ass Ponys cd's on tour...if you've never heard them, check out Ass Ponys, truly some of the best 'bent americana'; they shoulda been rich but were just too weird for A&M (their old label) Tony
Camped out by the computer today:
Beck Bogert and Appice - self titled, classic Rock-n-Roll - Tim Bogert plays a mean bass!
Beth Orton - Central Reservation - something softer, really like her voice.
Bill Wyman - Monkey Grip Glue - it's Bill!
Bullfrog - self-ttiled first release - absolutely fabulous Kraut Rock band!
Brian Auger - Oblivion Express
Jon Butcher - Wishes; don't know why he never really beacme a 'big' name . . .
Slawie,
Ricki Lee Jones was once a customer of mine when I worked for CBS specialty stores ( Pacific Stereo). I think that must have been in 1981.
Wolf; I just listed to Face of the Deep off The All Seeing Eye. Thanks! Once again, I feel like I'm learning something new about music.
You are welcome Dave. I have a very eclectic taste .Today I am currently re exploring early Pink Floyd___ Set the controls for the heart of the Sun and earlier, even back to the Syd Barrett years.
Jesse winchester. RIP.
I like to listen to some early Pink Floyd from time to time too. I also like the early Floyd in David Gilmour's recent live videos.
Another rainy day here in Minnesota so it was Ralph Towner and Eberhard Weber: Solstice, and Colors of Chloe. Reminds me of a concert triple I was fortunate to attend many years ago in Springfield, Massachusetts of all places that featured Towner's Oregon, The Gary Burton Quartet, and Return to Forever. They played from 6:00 PM to 1:00 AM in a quaint little theater with fabulous acoustics. One of the best concerts I've had the pleasure to attend.
Brian ,
That period of the ECM discography remains quite memorable to me . Manfred Eicher of ECM really knows how to pick them !

Wolf

Oregon, Gary Burton, and RTF on one bill; that would have been a full night of music.
It was quite possibly the best concert I've ever seen/heard/experienced: Towner, Burton, and Corea at their best. To this day, I honestly have no idea as to how I ended up back in my dorm room the next morning. The only thing that came close was a concert at which I worked at Dillon Stadium in Hartford CT which included the Allman Brothers and Santana as opening acts for the Dead. My job...to walk around the concert grounds with a broom stick perched atop of which was a red colored pie plate that when raised indicated that I had found someone having a bad trip who needed help. I ran in to enough individuals in this category that I later decided to major in psychology and have been working in the human service profession for 30 plus years.
Brian,
That is a very interesting story.
Thanks for sharing.

Please don't take this the wrong way but is there a limit to the number of posts to a thread? This topic is very interesting but it is up to 100 posts now and I would have thought it exhausted as a topic. Just an observation not a criticism. Glynn

To answer Glynn's question: no, there is no limit to the number of posts. There is an automatic archiving feature that kicks in after an given number of posts on a thread, but you can click on the archive at the top of the thread to find the older posts.
Personally, I find that one can never tell that a subject has been truly exhausted until it already has. And hopefully I will have shut up by then.
So what music have I been listening to? Was planning to put on a CD of Bach's St Matthew's Passion for Easter, but opted for Mendelssohn's string quintets. Had a most excellent mental musical workout during a Charles Ives marathon in Amsterdam a few weeks back. Played a CD by (http://www.paulvankemenade.com/cd/close-enough/%20target=_blank) Paul van Kemenade ft. Ernst Reijseger (and reminisced about the old amateur workshop led by Paul where we often did Ballad of The Fallen). Started name-dropping . . .
I'm listening to the new WorldLine (https://www.facebook.com/worldlinemusic%20target=_blank) album ;)
I don't think this topic can ever be exhausted; what I'm listening to now changes about as often as now changes. I, for one, could have posted at least once a day since my previous listing.

Thanks for clarifying. OK - Seth Lakeman's new album 'Word of Mouth'and Sting 'The Last Ship'. Also some old New Orlean's stuff (Maryland March and That's My Home') and 'Beggin' originally by The Four Seasons and now Madcon as my wife is part of a tap dance group that does it. Glynn
I was just watching the fifth episode of the new Cosmos series; and as it nears the end of the episode, it quotes Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, which I've always thought was an amazing piece of music.
So, thinking that it would be a cool tune for somebody like Dream Theater, I was delighted to find a nice live version from Liquid Tension Experiment (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq9I9Zyy7_k).
And I just watched Dream Theater's live Dark Side of the Moon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUoUim7WGwo), which is wonderful.
I don't think this topic can ever be exhausted; what I'm listening to now changes about as often as now changes. I, for one, could have posted at least once a day since my previous listing.

__________ DARK STAR ______________! ( I am currently comparing versions ) AGAIN ______
Based on recommendations above, I got hold of a copy of Animal Logic 2 which I'm enjoying. I guess this must have come out around the same time as Stanley's 'Find out' Album as his playing has a similar feel.
And tenuously carrying on Dave's Dream Theater listening, I've been listening to the Winery Dogs album a lot this week. Messrs portnoy, Kotzen and Sheehan giving it large - love Billy's playing.
Graeme
Tree Music was cool.
Balsa Wood = light pop
Iron Wood = Heavy Metal
Blood Wood = Death Metal
:-D
Not to highjack this thread but I thought that I wood offer some wood trivia since Alembic Inc. is The place of SWELL wood !
There really is a type of wood called Iron Wood . I have some left over scraps from someone that had a back yard deck built from it. It is the heaviest wood that I have ever handled . It is also very gummy when you try to cut it and is hard on saw blades .
The original Chapman Sticks were made using this wood (Iron Wood).
I did not know that , very interesting !
Thanks ___
I think Iron Wood is also referred to as Pau Ferro. I had not ever been involved in a hijacking of a thread until now. Sorry to all the family here, but good information is valuable.
No worries, back on track.
Listened to Dream Theater's Dark Side; found that very enjoyable. Great album covered very well.
Also dusted off Chris Rea's Tennis, for being an 80's album, I rather enjoy the material, especially the understated yet pivotal bass playing.
Genesis Wind and Wuthering, 1976. I get back to this from time to time, and then it?s Trick of the Tail and And Then There were Three... loving it since I was 10 years old, and still going strong.
Today I've been listening to some howling wolf from a recently bought cd and also rhinoceros album better times are coming.
Jazzyvee
I haven't had a song hit me like this in awhile. The last time it happened, it was Snarky Puppy. They did it again?..
Hot damn, this is a good one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk0WRHV_vt8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk0WRHV_vt8)
That IS so cool! Snarky Puppy are awesome! I don't listen to much Zappa and larger bands these days so it's nice to be reminded of what they can do...wow...
That's the first time I've heard them. Hot damn is right.
That's not swearing is it?
Thanks for the post. I played it LOUD!
That was the greatest way to start my Sunday.
I donned the headphones and cranked it on the ipad; rocking in the rocking chair swinging my head!.
That gave my goosebumps a workout. Snarky Puppy has such cool grooves that sneak in and out of the song, seamless juxtapositions- truly powerful music.
Listening to some Extreme tunes right now... waiting for the punchline. Raw, bluesy, somewhat sad...
Just to exhaust a little from celebrating Dream Theater Watched a Show in Offenbach in February, and still hypnotized...
cheers, Christian
Just received the new DVD, Dream Theater Live At Luna Park. Outstanding!!!
Rob
Steven Wilson's latest, Riverside S.O.N.G.S., the Police box set & Zappa's Keep It Greasyfrom Joes Garage 2...what a mix!
Pete Special passed away May 11, so I've been going back to his Mozart Street and Big Twist & the Mellow Fellows' Playing For Keeps (the latter came out in '84, while I was their stage manager). Despite Twist's name on the logo, it was Pete's band.
Also Pure Prairie League's first & second albums, and Roomfull of Blues Hot Little Mama (my copy has the black-teddy-and-fan cover, not the cowgirl-blowing-smoke-away version).

Inspired by a different thread - I listened to Marcus Miller - Silver Rain.
On this disc he does a version of Frankenstein that is killer - and oddly enough associated with another thread . . . he plays it a little slower than the original but it grooves like the Grand Canyon!

On autopilot today, iTunes radio: Radio Swiss Classic. Really helps me focus.
Not now, but last week I listened to a lot of King's X. Great stuff, but can honestly say I wasn't very productive if the band was jamming. And they were.

Very nice video of Miller's Frankenstein here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtSjdzwiRyw).

At dinner tonight, a friend recommended the album, Illuminations, by Carlos Santana and Alice Coltrane; so that's what I'm listening to now. I had never heard it before.
Been listening to Lou Reed Rock 'n Roll Animal Still a classic album.
Rob
Paul, it is the album which just came out a month or so ago. Daltrey is in great form, but singing Wilko's songs allows him a different style than Who songs. As a long-time fan of Dr. Feelgood (and Wilko Johnson), it was initially a bit weird to hear Daltrey's voice on well known material instead of Lee Brilleaux, but within a few songs I was hooked. Of course, there is Wilko. It is in heavy rotation.
And yes, Gatton was amazing. The session with Robert Gordon is also a great album, especially for an unplanned recording.
I just love this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wShmbjqP3WU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wShmbjqP3WU)
Nancy does a great second vocal (Maggie Bell's lines from the original), Ann is in typically fine voice, and their FOH guy is really on his toes catching the echo'd single repeats on Ann's vocals towards the end. If they'd done 'Going to California' right after this, it would have been beyond fine . . . . I just love those two, and why oh why doesn't Nance have a Little Darling ? ?

I'm listening to Danny Kirwan's guitar work on Dust (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNkoNamtfkE) from Bare Trees. I love his guitar playing, and this is a nice simple example of why.
That was awesome J o e y! Thanks for sharing!
Goat Rodeo Sessions with Edgar Meyer, Chris Thile,Yo Yo Ma and Stuart Duncan followed up with George Harrison's 33 & 1/3 (This Song, Crackerbox Palace, etc.) with the incomparable Willie Weeks on bass guitar!

IN reference to Nashville Cats; I was working for Bill Graham @
Day On The Green , Sunday May 28, 1978 .
The line up was: The Beach Boys, Linda Ronstadt,Elvin Bishop,
Dolly Parton , Norton Buffalo_____
Well, what more can I say ____,Dolly Partons band was beyond incredible ! I would think that her band consisted of____ Nashville Cats !
The Beach Boys never really seem to get off the ground for some reason to my perception at that particular show in comparison to the amazing instrumentalists in Dolly Partons band in my opinion and ears. The Beach Boys had top billing at that show ____

Dirty Power by Shane Theriot.
Bachman Turner Overdrive - Not Fragile; a favorite from my younger years. Take away the radio tunes and it still has great songs on it!
Switched it up and am now listening to Radiohead - King Of Limbs.
Last night I was watching The Who Live at Kilburn from 1977. Some shots of Entwistle playing his Alembic Exploiter. Then I switched channels to a recent video of The Who* playing Quadrophenia. MUCH older, kind of scary. But all of a sudden they started showing some stills and up comes an old shot of John playing the Alembic Exploiter.
Bill, tgo
*(Actually Townshend and Daltrey and a bunch of other guys. Without Moon and Entwistle, it ain't really The Who, IMHO)

Kenny G. (against my will!) as I wait again in Atlanta for a Delta Airlines flight that has already been delayed twice.

Peter that's a good one.
Eventually, non-stop K.G. just became too much. That was ALL that they were playing. Four plus hours of non-stop Kenny G. Honestly, I wasn't sure whether they were playing different songs that all sounded alike or just one song over and over and over.
Luckily, I was able to convince my wife who was with me that my putting in my earphones and dialing in some real music on my iPod was not an attempt to dial her out, but rather necessary for my sanity. Either that or she just got tired of me complaining.
Eventually we got home to Minneapolis at 2:30 AM this morning.
I had a similar experience calling ADT security systems - they had me on hold and looped the same crappy song over and over and over and over . . . I had to hold the phone away from my ear. When someone finally picked up, after taking care of business, they asked if there was anything else that I needed - I told them that it was cruel and unusual punishment to subject their customers to that music.
Back on topic - listened to that legendary Canadian band Max Webster - Universal Juveniles; it has this gem on it:

Non stop Kenny G, and then they wonder why bad things happen at airports...I can see myself resorting to cannibalism in that situation, just so the screams could drown him out...that Max Webster/Rush collaboration was cool; I've never heard it before...only once have I been on permahold and not minded;the lineup was things like Roy Orbison, Everly brothers, Patsy Cline...I actually thanked the person when I was done for their hold music choices; it should be completely evident that if you gotta put people on hold, play GOOD music and they won't try to tear your head off through the phone when they are finally attended to...Tony...Oh, last night was the new solo King Buzzo (Melvins) album 'this machine kills artists'...acoustic Melvins essentially...

Pete Seeger's Turn! Turn! Turn! (to Everything There Is a Season) played by the officiating minister at my 84 year old father's funeral service on Saturday. Had absolutely no idea until then that most of the lyrics,are adapted word-for-word from Chapter 3 of the Book of Ecclesiastes.
My thoughts are with you, Brian, with the passing of your father.
Amen.
Thanks guys.
The passing of my Dad was pretty much expected as he was 85 and in poor health. As these things go, it probably went as well as it could. I got to spend 4 days with him awake and alert after he was rushed to the hospital in what we were told was a comatose state from which he it unlikely he would awake. He got to see all of his kids, grand kids, and his great granddaughter (my first grandchild) and speak with them while he was still with us. His passing away peacefully while he slept was the easy part. Its the family squabbling over what he left that makes me glad I'm here in Minnesota while most of the family is in Connecticut.
I'm glad you were able to spend some time with him.
It's good you got a chance to spend time with him at the end...I'm glad I got to with my Mom at the end; I think she was relieved that it was all over. Life had been a mess for her for a long time so I think in a weird way she was kinda glad...Alas for me there was a bunch of stuff I wanted to get the truth on (she wasn't very good at that) that I just didn't ask about to keep her peace, so now I'll never know...oh well...Tony.

Jack Bruce: Silver Rails & Ratdog: Live at the Northrup 6/13/14
Jacks voice has gotten a bit thin but the guy can still play.
Listening to the recorded version of the Bob Weir and Ratdog Concert I saw last Friday evening at the newly renovated Northrup Auditorium in Minneapolis, MN. First time a recorded version of a concert has had a lot better sound than I heard live. Live, the bass was mush and the vocals at time unable to be understood. On the recording, you can actually hear individual notes.
sometimes the soundman is listening to the board and sometimes the room; in this case clearly the former...Tony

Fu Manchu 'Gigantoid' yup, sounds like them; seriously all their albums sound alike, except 'California Crossing' which has less fuzz...and Boris 'Noise' A band almost on the other end of the scale who change it up quite a lot; there's always some heavy in there but they can be so delicate and beautiful at the same time...I dunno, maybe like a tank driving through a field of poppies?...anyway, somehow Japan can spawn bands that can actually create and walk that tightrope...Tony

What a gig ! Great outfits, you get paid, play really swank venues, eat good, paid rehearsals (!).

Cyril Morin - Pema's Theme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDJHBJ1qyMA)
Yeah, Joey - the Marine Band at 8th & I (USMC HQ in DC) has always had some pretty fair players; my dad was a jug, as were 2 of his 5 brothers, (one a 25-year, 3-war man), so when they came around once when I was a teenager (early '70s, Viet Nam going & all), we all went - period, no argument brooked. I gotta say, as an anti-militarist hippie, I was fully set on not enjoying it - but DAMN those boys could play!!!! And yeah, the red jackets (oops - sorry to any gyrenes out there - blouses) & white pants looked badass.
A high school friend of mine - euphonium player - considered that as one of the few kick-ass euphonium gigs going, he should sign up. Then he talked to the recruiter. You enlist with a MOS of combat infantry, and work your way through various unit bands to (maybe) a chance to audition for The President's Own. In the meantime, you're a rifleman, with no guarantee of ever tooting note one.
He let that one slide.
And I think you mean The haircuts go in and out of fashion. One is in or out of fashion, but has or does not have style - and the 2 have little if any relationship.
Peter (who spent his car time today on Blues For Allah, but is playing more than listening at home; the back surgery somehow took what little fluidity my fingers had, so.......)
Bought a Tibetan Singing Bowl at Summerfest today.
Listening to my wife playing it.
Ommmm.
Those Tibetan bowls sound wonderful; very cool that you have one.
I have one too .
The one we got is tuned for the Root Chakra, which traditionally is a C.
I checked last night and it is actually a C#; which works well with my digiridoo which is F#.
Might need to experiment with meditative recordings. . .
Let us know when you have something recorded.

Tony; I love Pema's theme, and listen to it often. It can be a nice addition to the morning.
I don't know the instrumentation on the tune, but some of the instruments listed in the credits for the album include Indian Flute, Bamboo Flute, Chinese Flute, Duduk, Japanese Flute, Lyre, Ney, Sarangui, Saz, and Tibetan Bowls.

Nice Wolf. In another thread we were talking about Bob Weir. So this morning I put on some of his stuff with Rob Wasserman from Nassau 1989. Wasserman's playing is really good.
HI Ken, I like Rob Wasserman , I have his Trios recording . He does a tune on that called Easy Answer with Bob Weir & Neil Young. Another one that I love is with Jerry Garcia on guitar and Edie Brickell on vocals called___ Zillionaire.
I have Trios also - great disc.
Another favorite beside what Wolf listed is Put Your Big Toe In The Milk Of Human Kindness.
Continuing on a theme - a delightful video of Rob Wasserman, David Grisman, and Steve Morse (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-Br5P3idxQ).
Thanks for the tips guys. I've only seen Wasserman with the Grisman Quintet. Now I have some new discs to source out. Right after I check out Dave's link!
Holy chops batman! I dig those ultra high notes Rob played with the bow between the end of the fretboard and the bridge. 5 star performance from all 3.
Wow!

Bought a bunch of CDs at a garage sale a little while ago; took them out of their cases & stuck them into my wallets (do most of my listening while mobile these days). Waiting to meet a fare at a train that was delayed, flipped through & saw 2 I'd forgotten; no writing, just some very familiar-looking skulls. Stuck in disc 1, and thought What? Who? Why haven't I listened to this? Who? Some of the players & songs were immediately recognizable (Bobby, Phil, Mickey, Bruce) some players less so & some songs unheard. Did some searching today; it's The Strange Remain, a live album by the '98 version of the Other Ones (only album thus far by them or The Dead). Driving again tomorrow; disc 2 first thing!
Peter
Peter, I have The Strange Remain. I haven't listed to it in a long time, but my recollection is I liked it a lot. I also seem to recall that Mickey seemed to have more of an influence in what was happening musically.
Listening to it now. Very nice!

Aerosmith - Live! Bootleg; live recording released in 1978.
Great choice Paul. I have that double album. Superb versions of walk this way and mama kin.
Graeme
GD October 19th. 1974 Winterland SF. Eyes of the World into China Doll. This will bring a grown man to his knees.
GD March 29, 1990 Nassau. Eyes of the World with Branford Marsalis.
Hmmm....old school Aerosmith. Some of the best blues rock ever! One of my top 10 concerts (best), and one of my top crappiest. Back in the early 90s those guys would wheel into my store in their matching Maseratis. Brad would say Hey Ken, we need something to make us healthy. I would laugh and say, I'll give you guys some wheat grass shots but you got to lay off the drugs! Seasons of Wither is one of my favs.
James McMurtry, Too Long In The Wasteland. Son of Larry McMurtry, and just as good with words. Now if he'd just had someone other than John Hoosier Mellonhead produce the album...............
Also, Turtles' Greatest Hits. Because every now and then, one needs some well-crafted, frothy pop.
Peter
New Corrosion Of Conformity, IX; good album, only listened to once but I think better than their last, which was really good too...Tony
This thread motivated me to drag the turntable down from the attic and haul the vinyl up from the basement and I re-found:
Badges, Posters, Stickers, T-shirts ? Dire Straits ? Dance Play EP
Baby Batter ? Harvey Mandel
Who Do You Love? - Quicksilver Messenger Service ? Happy Trails
Ps. Thanks to everyone for cluing me into so many things I hadn?t listened to before
living in the past . . .
Ted Nugent - Double Live Gonzo!
Sadly the ripped version I have here at work only has the first 37 seconds of The Great White Buffalo.
:-(
In anticipation of the Petaluma Music Festival this weekend, I'm gearing up by listening to Galactic, Brokedown in Bakersfield and The Mother Hips.
Sound of Contact's Dimensionaut
Fronted by a guy who's father many of you have heard of, Simon Collins, Phil's kid.
He learned well from dad...
Too bad Phil's shoulders( I think) are so done he can't play drums anymore; he was a wicked drummer and I'm glad I got to see him with Genesis once...it was the poppier years at the end but he still didi some cool drum-offs with Dennis Chambers; kinda the big time equivalent of the current Melvins lineup- dual drummers can be awesome...Tony
Tony,
That would actually be Chester Thompson, who also played with Frank Zappa.
Saw Genesis for the first time in 1982, was the 10th anniversary of Foxtrot. They did Supper's Ready in it's entirety. BEST SHOW EVER...
Michael McDermott - 620 W. Surf
Chicago area musician, good material, brings back happy memories.
Mickey Hart's Mystery Box; Emmylou Harris, Stumble Into Grace; Alice Cooper, Love It To Death; David Alan Coe, 17 Hit Songs
Peter
I actually never knew Phil could play the drums so well until I listened to some of his older stuff! Being from Ann Arbor originally, I was an Alice Cooper freak back in the day. Hey Mica, Ill take some Galactic any time. I use to have every Jethro Tull Album and still have some on disk. Great bass lines and those fairies dancing in the woods are hard to ignore. I also like this thread as it turns me on to some new stuff. Today it was Americana Rock with Darkness On The Edge of Town by Springsteen
Grateful Dead rehearsal ; St Stephen , recorded @ Alembic Studios aprox , 12/68
Since I'm doing a Jimi Hendrix thing along with the Led Zeppelin it got me thinking of Roy Buchanan and what a player he was. So I listened to this.
Austin City Limits circa 1976....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4e2VgycfSw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4e2VgycfSw)
fIREHOSE - Mr. Machinery Operator
Wow! that is a monster player!
A few observations...I love the bass that dude's playing; such a cool finish...the clothes are BAD (and this coming from a guy who owns and wears vintage shirts with wide collars...
I also spotted a nice Traynor Custom Special behind the keyboardist; those are seriously cool amps-and loud-the only tube amp at the time to compete with a SVT; it used a weird tube usually used in tv's...most today have had 6550's put in them(a direct replacement) and they're still loud as hell; a friend of mine has one and it'll peak out at 170 watts or so, scary loud...the coolest things about those amps though is a few things; two lights, red and green so you could tell if the amp was on standby or ready to go, they were built like old Fenders with eyelet board but with better transformers, and the era seen in the video had a cool feature where the top of the box was held on with four bolts; remove them and the top came off and you could service the amp without removing the chassis...I have no idea why no one else has done this, it is genius...Tony.

Sergei Rachmaninoff - Symphony No. 2 in E minor, Op. 27
I've never heard this before. A friend posted on another site that he was listening to it, so I thought I would give it a listen. Interesting textures and transitions; it's keeping me wondering where he's going to go next.
I don't know if this is from the Merriweather Post Pavillion (8/27/77), but if so, I was born the day after the performance....

Inspired by another thread I'll be listening to Deep Purple Made in Japan on the way home. VERY LOUD :-)

Same inspiration here.
Listened to Made In Japan.
I got that album over 25 years ago and remember being blown away by the intensity of every song - I don't think I could pick one favorite track from it.
......lazy. Definitley my favourite :-)
Graeme
Lazy is great; but not Strange Kind of Woman? or Space Trucking? The Mule?
I just can't pick one!

It's funny how the lineup w/ Morse has outlasted all the classic lineups combined. My cousin worked merchandise on the first tour w/ Steve and that was almost half a lifetime ago... (We're pushing 40).... Anyways.... One that always sticks out since I got the Bolin boxset back in grade school:

A letter home Neil Young's latest, recorded with Jack White live in an antique acetate recording stall; the fidelity is crappy, where the guitar often sounds like ukelele...it's all cover tunes as well, but it sounds SO Neil...It's amazing that he can change instruments,bands and genres, even media and he always sounds like him...it's funny that his playing is the most 'normal' on piano, but I put that down to the limitations of piano...Tony

Paul; either you are really young, or perhaps you were in a coma for a long period of time.
Speaking of old funky tunes, I looked up one of my old favorite artist Tyrone Davis:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyxKtz6Z07Q (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyxKtz6Z07Q)
Nice tune, Ken.
this is on vinyl in the basement right now.... love it!....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFfMZzvjF2c (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFfMZzvjF2c)
So I recently just got a turn table back in my life. I bought a vintage receiver off ebay. I lost my record collection many years ago in a bit of a sad story. My son and I hit a few used record shops and got some new old records. I came home and put one on and my son said, Dad I haven't seen you smile like that in a while. Man I miss that sound and a time when listening to music was an event not just background music. So yesterday I decided to turn my kids on to Frank Zappa and put Apostrophe on. My daughter ask me what the lyric the crux of the biscuit, is the apostrophe means. That led to the deepest conversation we have had about life since she was born. She is twelve. That is the power of music and the joy of parenthood! Thanks Frank! Oh yea, I blew the face off of my 23 year old drummer the next night when I made him listen to the drums in Saint Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast.
Ken, that is awesome!
I am actually blessed with two functional turntables and a third in a box.
Even more awesome that your kids got to hear the absolutely epic Apostrophe. Jack Bruce's distortion on the title track is one that I lust for. Seriously lust for, I always wonder what gear and what his signal chain was for that.
Mike- dang!
Stanley Turrentine, I used to have the vinyl Don't Mess with Mr. T., I need to search the basement . . . I lost a lot of records to a flood many years ago . . .
So many memories attached to this one:

I'm watching and listening to Phil Lesh play his new Alembic bass on the Lock'n Festival webcast. They just went into Crazy Fingers.
Phil is obviously having a blast with his new instrument. To me, his tone is reminiscent of that '74 Lesh bass sound that I love so much.
Phil has a permagrin! Catch it if you can!
Got Jack Bruce's Silver Rails
There is a song on it, Drone that has distortion very similar to Apostrohe.
Good album.
Currently going back in time it hear to some of the music that influenced two of my favorite bands, the Allman Bros., and John Mayall. Last few days have listened to Lightning Hopkins, Robert Johnson, the Reverend Gary Davis, and Blind Willie McTell.
Pauldo. What did you think of Silver Rails?
Brian,
To be honest- initial listen through fell short of my expectations. Most notable was that Jack's voice sounds tired . . . I grew up admiring his bass skills but through time really found his voice to be captivating and strong. So to hear what I heard was concerning. With that, the bass playing is what I would call conservative.
As mentioned, Drone has a great bass tone and through out the disc there is some very tasty guitar and piano/ keys work.
Jack is moving through space and is aging like we all are, my expectations of Silver Rails to sound like How's Tricks? is not realistic.
As long as Jack makes music I will continue to buy it, he is a legend in bass, lyrics, piano and vocals.
Brian - saw your earlier post about Silver Rails and your shared feelings on Jack's voice sounding weak.
So with that in mind I dusted off:
Jack Bruce - How's Tricks?
also listened to:
Chrissie Hynde - Stockholm
David Gray - Mutineers
Both of those are 2014 releases - Chrissie's is good; David's is really good - he is another vocalist that I enjoy listening to.
Kris Kristofferson - Silver Tongued Devil and Closer To The Bone.

I used to listen to Quadrophenia a lot delivering newspapers on rainy days; it seemed the perfect soundtrack and Deep Cove(BC) had lots of them...may have actually been the album to get me playing bass, but regardless, it's an amazing album and probably the Who's best...Tony
Good choice Glynn. She played some beautiful music but such a tragic story.

Color me strange, but it's a fun listen!
I'm pretty sure all of the bass lines are the Captain's left hand - there are some good ones - notably The Way I Want To Touch You; that bass line would transfer nicely to an Alembic . . . just sayin'.

And thanks for Bear Melt, Wolf. I'm hoping to listen to St. Stephen / The Eleven / Turn on Your Love Light (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss17vA6oPws) from Live Dead later on today. Right now I'm listening to the rain fall outside the window, aka Live Rain.
You are welcome Dave. That Live Dead and that set of segued tunes is a total masterpiece to my ears. I think the rain is music too ,Earth's music, in all of its variations and transitions and segues from cloudy to sunny and then a rainbow ! There we can see the relativity between humanity and habitat and life when we create music .We all know this of course and live it day to day. I just like to talk about it sometimes and feel gratitude for it. It is my belief that reflecting this emotion during the creation of improvised and composed music is a product of the positive life force of humanity . It's just what we musicians do . I really heard that in Bear Melt, and that whole Live Dead album. That has the Dark Star on it that l grew up with loving,and can not get enough of. It may very well be playing continuously in my subconscious mind.
brian.. Moondance. I have to learn this for my new functions band. Not as easy as it sounds.
I spent last night listening to a string of James taylor's greatest hits from the front row at Glasgow's new(ish) Hydro. As ever, jimmy Johnson's playing was sublime but I have to admit I spent most of the evening watching Steve gadd's drumming.
I've been listening to loads of Grover Washington Jr's music.
I'm putting on a big commemoration gig to celebrate his music in December so been finalising the set list.

Not started yet but I'm going to listen to Stanley Clarke's latest CD in the car in a moment. Anyone heard it and have any views?
A friend of mine who is a big fan messaged me this week before I ordered my copy and said he found it very disappointing. That said he held the same view on the last three of Stanley's albums.
I have the CD but haven't listened to all of it yet. It has some great stuff & some so so stuff, but the great stuff makes it worth the purchase! Pop Virgil is awesome!! His Alembic sounds amazing too!
Slight and hopefully forgivable change of course: link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5h753MxBco%20target=_blank) to short video regarding Stanley's latest, Up.
And to get it back on course:
Lettuce - Rage! great rhythm section and killer horns.
In the Clarke vein . . .
Stanley Clarke - Modern Man
SMV - Thunder
Clarke, Miller and Wooten = EPIC!
Pop Virgil from the new Stanley Clarke Band Album.
Sounds like a track I should learn for a gig sometime.

My favorite scene from Immortal Beloved has been the Moonlight Sonata scene. Very moving. This reading of the Sonata is a bit faster than most, but within the context of the movie, quite powerful. Today I found that the musician performing the piece for the movie is Murray Perahia; and I found a recording of the first movement by him here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZkcaWxMOU0) (this is the most familiar movement, and the one which is partially played in the movie). Again, it is a bit faster than most, and the phrasing a little different as well. But it is moving and powerful. The faster pace allows more of the melody and chordal movement to be taken in by the listener at any given time, creating a different perspective from which to appreciate the piece.
Kicking back watching Woodstock, the 1994 Director's cut on something called the Palladia channel. CSNY, Ten Years After, Santana, Arlo Guthrie, Country Joe McDonald, stage announcements, Max Yasgur. 45 years ago! Who knows where the time goes?

As a young child, my dad played pretty much only classical music at home (funny, as he managed an Odeon theatre in Scotland where the Stones and the Beatles played, among others)...anyway, I was far more into Beethoven than Mozart; just a different level of intensity and use of the power of an orchestra...considering my musical tastes now it makes sense that I'd go for intensity...as an example, today was the new Orange Goblin cd back from the abyss and Electric Wizard's time to die...Dad doesn't like my taste in music but to his credit he listened to Rush and could appreciate what great musicians they were and he did come to one of my gigs...Tony.

I wish I could write songs like that; mine all turn into madness and the fringe horror of modern life, which is why the band is named RUMSFELD...writing that type of music is hard to do authentically; I used to write poems to my partner and write poems from my cat(I was the opposeable thumb, so I transcribed from the telepathic...cats are like that...)but I can't write songs like that, they sound awkward and forced...I do appreciate those who can do this though and he should be famous!

Palladia just showed The Grateful Dead Movie.
The version of Morning Dew that they played gave me goosebumps!
McVie's lines on the Tusk album. Specifically, Over and Over, Brown Eyes, and Angel, the latter having just about the coolest bass tone ever heard. (IMO of course)
Melvins-Hold it in, one of their more bent lately; Old Man Gloom-The Ape of Man; heavy stuff...Brant Bjork and the low desert punk band-Black Power Flower; cool desert rock-clearly he was a BIG part of the Kyuss sound,more than the others would like to admit I'd guess...Tony
The intro to the second movement (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvjPeRg8gyc) of Beethoven's piano concerto no. 5; the orchestral part before the piano comes in (about 1:29). Absolutely beautiful the way the chords flow in this short section of the concerto.
Like Button Pressed davehouck. I frequently listen to classical in my shop... too distracting listening to something I can actually play. Lately it's been Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and Bach's Brandenburgs'.
I have had to put aside recreational listening in an effort to focus on the music for some upcoming Christmas concerts, the main one being a contemporary P & W, to be played the weekends of 11/29-30 and again on 12/6-7. Sorta' makes me wish the Persuader 5 had green and red LED's. =)
I am also playing upright bass with two prodigious little girls (sisters) one a violinist, the other, classical guitar & mandolin, for an hour-long program made up of fairly obscure 16th & 17th century Carols. Most are structured repetitiously, like folk music, but with unfamiliar time signatures and often mixed within one song. The measures are not necessarily symmetrical either. It's not quite over my head but right at it... just hoping to pull this one off without embarrassing myself.
I've been listening to The Band.
Persuant to a discussion on another forum, I did a Youtube search for a cat I used to know slightly, Brian Bowers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jktfwaUIzsI). Best autoharpist ever, IMO.

WMSE played this song this morning . . . started my day right.
Druha Trava...a Czech bluegrass band. Had never heard of them nor thought that was even such a thing as Czech bluegrass music until a Czech friend took me to one of their concerts.
About 20 years ago, there was a very healthy bluegrass community in Europe, particularly Germany, Austria, and Italy. I remember being surprised upon hearing the Old World version of what I had grown up playing here in the cradle of Appalachia.
In honor of having *finally* finished raking all the leaves up out of the yard for the fifth time this year, Fleetwood-Mac's Bare Trees is playing in the office today.
Happy Thanksgiving to the Alembican Tribe. =)
Bare Trees is from my favorite Fleetwood Mac era, and features my favorite Mac guitar player, Danny Kirwan, and one of my favorite songs, Dust (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNkoNamtfkE), which is what I'm listening to now.
Whenever I hear these older tunes I realize that Fleetwood Mac were once far more interesting than what they turned into; of course grew up unable to escape that popular era...I should explore the cool earlier eras of the band...Tony

Lindsey Buckingham quitting the band right before the tour... that was BIG news in 1987. That was the band I knew and liked, but they were who turned me onto the Bob Welch, Danny Kirwan, Jeremy Spencer, and Peter Green incarnations of Fleetwood Mac. I was (and still am) a true fan, and went on to enjoy the next two less successful versions that included Billy Burnette, Rick Vito, then Dave Mason (yeah, *that* Dave Mason) and Bekka Bramlett. I might be one of the very few people to actually own a copy of the Time album from 1995. =)
Having played in bands that had major personnel changes, that's a hard thing to deal with, even more so I imagine, given the level they were already playing in the early 1970's. Buckingham and Nicks coming in... that wasn't an easy gig to walk into, but they did pretty well. And I haven't ever seen them be anything less than respectful of their predecessors.
The endurance amazes me almost as much as the music has... Mick & John just keep on playing. I just try to appreciate all of it.
Joni Mitchell w/ Pat Metheny and Jaco Pastorious. What a backing band! IMO, her best work. I remember hearing this as a teenager and thinking WOW - then after rediscovering I know why it's so awesome. I actually think it's some of the best playing by Pat and Jaco too.

PS - Love this thread
Stephen , I agree ;I actually think it's some of the best playing by Pat and Jaco too
This is wonderful ! I have heard it many times I have a DVD , a CD ; Jaco was really great with this band lineup . ( but then i can't find anything that he played where he was not )
Here is a Pat Metheny piece that I like a lot; One Quiet Night (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eY4qcaiWs8).
I haven't listened to Joni Mitchell in some time and that set reminded me of the fact that she makes great bedroom music; seriously, you could spend all day naked with a significant other in and out of bed and Joni could be the soundtrack...Tony
Hot Tuna - Full Concert - 03/22/73 - 46th Street Rock Palace
Jack Plays 72-01 ! ______In all its glory ! and sound .
Recently uploaded to youtube! Great black & white video . Good camera work and editing . Decent sound considering it's source material from the transfer. Enjoy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ucti8H6cCZk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ucti8H6cCZk)
I'm listening to one of my favorite Chopin pieces, the Fantasy Impromptu (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-HosIOod_A).

Today: anything by Frank Zappa.
Finally watched the Hot Tuna Rock Palace show. Best footage of #1 I've ever seen! The audience was groovin'!
What a tone from Casady. Has anyone had any luck replicating that sound without a Versatone amp?
Hello Rob , That tone is wonderful , I agree 1000%.
I have experimented with a stack of similar speakers and power amps .
ALEMBIC Series II Bass strung with Pyramid Gold strings - Alembic IN-2 -SF-1 Superfilter- Alembic F2B preamp -Yamaha P2200 power amp X 2 - 4 Alembic A15 type cabinets with Gauss 4580's -1 Alembic B12 type cabinet W/ JBL K120's - I Alembic A18 with 18' Gauss.
The above produced Sweet Thunder however the slightly overdriven top end was missing that was INDEED PRODUCED FROM THE VERSATONE AMP ! ---- I know someone who had a pristine old one in perfect shape for sale, But those things did not have the build quality that I would expect for what the asking price was . I know someone that has a schematic for those. I think I know what is inside . There would be another way to get their effect if I really wanted my top end overdriven. Bi amp a mono feed and send highs to an amp to over drive the highs a bit and a few small speakers - 12's or 10's. ____ Experiment are fun .
Uncle John's Band on Pono. Holy cornbread, this thing sounds INCREDIBLE!!!!
Bill, tgo
Just watched the Hot Tuna video. Very cool!! Thanks!!
I am glad you like it Dave. Back then when I heard and saw Jack Casady play 72-001 and Phil Lesh playing in The Dead is what made me want to play Bass as a 14 year old trumpet player . I thought , LIKE ____WOW man . . This video Still made me say WOW, just today even !
Really enjoyed the Hot Tuna concert. It was great to see #72-01 in action! The audio wasn't too bad either. Thanks Wolf, for posting the link. Much appreciated!
Rob , I am glad you liked it .

A Farewell to Kings by Rush. We're in the process of adding Cygnus X-1 into our Rush tribute set list.
Tone Poems by David Grisman and Tony Rice. Learning a few tunes off this incredible work for the new bluegrass project with which I'm involved. Finding it hard to stay on task at practice though because I'm getting so caught up in listening to the beautiful guitar and mandolin work.
That's a great project, as are the other volumes of Tone Poems. Sadly, Tony Rice is really ailing these days. Poor fella looks terribly frail. He's been one of my musical heroes for 30 years on now.
Hot Tuna, full concert, 6/24/11- Wolfgang's Vault. Nice acoustic gig with good audio and video, with interview afterwards. Recorded right at Wolfgang's Vault in San Francisco. This may seem like a foolish question to the more senior members here, but are you connected to that, Wolf? Just curious...
HI Rob , Questions are a positive inclination for the truth ! That is all good brother .
I was once an employee of Mr. Bill Graham (Concert promoter) in the late 1970's to early 1980's . I do not have any affiliation with Wolfgang's Vault other then being on their email list .

Meat Puppets 'Lollipop' and 'Sewn Together', I am loving the newer Meat puppets albums; some of their best music, although 'Monsters' has some of my fave solos...anyway, good music to listen to while I do jewelry work; especially stone setting, which can be silly amounts of stress (stones crack or pop out of the setting for no reason, just to send you crawling on the floor to find them...fun!)...Tony
Alpine Valley 8/22/82 (22/8/82 for our friends Over There). Possibly the best show I saw; Zakir Hussain & John Cipollina sitting in 2nd set.

Peter, I was at that show!
Albeit I had a bit too much of a certain 'medicine' and don't remember much from the night . . . . :-(
I was at both shows at Alpine in '82 (amazing!), and a few months later saw the sun rise during their show at the Jamaica World Music Fest. If I recall, they played from sometime after 4AM until about 7AM. Looks like I'll be dipping into my archive of 80s Dead shows.
One of my favorite Phil & Friends lineups, 11/14/14, Larry Campbell, Teresa Williams, Joe Russo, Jeff Chimenti, John Kadlecik. The Weight (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QykiCjgTYI). Audio and video aren't the best quality, but the performance is wonderful. And two nice looking Alembics on stage!

This time of year always makes me think of people who've gone home.
I'd forgotten about this, and happened to think of it the other day. Two legends from Mississippi who made good, and another reminder that great singers and musicians can do justice in situations we might not ordinarily imagine them, and that they do listen to other artists and other things:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAA_LUCb0QE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAA_LUCb0QE)
The affection is obvious. For the 'who played what', read-the-back-jacket types like me:
Don Was, producing
Kenny Aranoff, drums
Willie Weeks, bass
the late Barry Beckett (from Muscle Shoals) on piano
Reggie Young, guitar
. . . and the other cats I'm afraid I don't know.
Joey
But then again . . . . . Robert always had a big man-crush on Elvis, and this Honey Drippers track with Beck AND Page-y is absolute, incontrovertible, undeniable truth that 'it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing', a sadly lacking aspect of groove in this digitized and quantized world. Sample Rates can't Swing !

Nice groove, Wolf! I have the vague recollection of having played this tune in a band in the mid 90's.
Dave , I am Glad you like it. An aspect of what I like about this incarnation of the JGB is the line up of Musicians ( yes , with a capital M ).Nicky Hopkins piano work is steller in my opinion in this genre, I always liked what he played . Ron Tutt on Drums and John Kahn on Bass paved that grooooooooovy road for Jerry and Nicky to lay their musical reflections down in a very unique way that was the JGB in essennce and roots .
I truly appreciate John Kahn's approach to all things groovy.
Groovy in the extreme! I once heard an interview in which Jerry said [Weir's] playing provides the only context in which my playing really makes any sense., but I've always thought he was sorta OK in this context, too.........
In re: Mr. Hopkins - Edward The Mad Shirt Grinder. Need I say more??
BTW, I mistyped in my post 1807 above; it should say 8-8-82 (the 22 stuck in my mind because 6-22-85 was the show I took my 6-week-old youngest son to; yeah, he grew up hip & mellow)

Just received Joni Mitchell's 'through yellow Curtains'. Recorded live at the Second fret in Philadelphia between 1966 and 1968 they are probably the earliest decent recordings of Joni before she made it big. Her singing voice is incredible as you'd expect but what makes the package special are her numerous anecdotes. there's a little background tape hiss but it certainly doesn't detract from the performance. If you like Joni, you'll love this recording.

Various recordings of Dan Tyminski on mandolin, from Lonesome River Band days to present.
I've been a closet mandolin player for years, but just got a gig playing mandolin in my Dad's bluegrass band. These guys had played together for years, but their mandolin player was suddenly, and very tragically killed in a logging accident in 2012, and they haven't played much since... anyway, I'm excited about running around playing music with the Ol' Man again, especially with him on bass.
Dan, with Lonesome River Band, about 1987 (hence the mullets!) long before he was the Man of Constant Sorrow in Oh, Brother. Monster mandolin player.

Thank you, that was really nice! I'm gonna have to look for her...I don't listen to that type of music that often, but enjoy when I do; old bandmates were weirded out by my thing for power pop...I wish I could do that music but all my music comes out sludge/groove, crunchy and slightly evil or creepy...don't get me wrong, I love what I make but I just haven't got the wiring to make a love song or a pretty song...oh well...Tony
P.S. sea of bees got me right off track; I was listening to NOMEANSNO '0+2=1' one of my faves...

Just listened to the Lonesome River Band and the Sea of Bees as rec'd above. Nice additions to the afternoon. Thanks!
Double post.
But my guess is that I'll probably be listening to something else soon.

I've posted links to some Cyril Morin tunes before, and here's another one. Probably not everyone's cup of tea; but I think this is stunningly beautiful. The Mind (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-Yb3WfEl7U)
The instrumentation is sparse; minimum but very effective percussion, and keyboards that paint a soundscape. These support a voice and vocal line that are treated with a carefully contoured reverb. The line itself is well crafted and skillfully sung.
I've listened to it before, but just now listened several times in a row. Stunning.
(Message edited by davehouck on January 16, 2015)
A new edition of the International Submarine Band. Never gets too old.
Are there any original members in the new ISB?
Who would of thunk.
From Sea Of Bees to Nomeansno in less than 48 hours!
I really dig Nomeansno . . . I like their stuff withOUT the guitar more. (Big Dick).
That video of Rob and John is neat; they're so young! Rob used the same bass for SO long...I saw it soon before he retired it at the shop I used to work at; the pickguard was brass, held on with duct tape as the screw holes were done; filled with dowels that were themselves done repeatedly...the finish on body and neck was falling off in chunks...it looked awesome but it was clearly past the point where you would rely on it on tour; I don't know if he still uses it for recording. Tom Holliston their guitar player lives 8 blocks from me so I can usually tell when they're on tour or not...Tony

I have to say my preference is for Bob's original on his 'another side of Bob Dylan' album - also featuring 'Motorpsycho nightmare' which is one of my favourite songs of all time. I believe I can just about remember all the lyrics despite not having listened to it for a good few years. Might be the subject of my next 'What are you listening to' post although I've just been sent a setlit for a band I'm considering and there's not too many familiar songs on it so I'm going to be woodshedding for the next few days.
Graeme
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms, a classic from my high school years. (Dang, has it *really* been 29 years since this came out?!)
Anyway, I always loved John Illsley's smooth, supporting style of bass playing... uncannily like John McVie's. Listen to the similarities between Sultans of Swing and Go Your Own Way.
Neil Young kicks Clapton's ass on the solos; seriously, Clapton needs some some fire in his life, he sounds like he's sleepwalking...Tony.
Last two days in the truck - Brand X Product - some of the best fretless bass and drum jamming around. My favorite work by Percy Jones and Mike Clark on drums.
And right now - Wayne Krantz (played with Steely Dan) His new Good Piranaha, Bad Piranaha is pretty cool. Plus I'm going to see his trio next month here in Nashville.
And David Pastorious and Local 518. Check them out!

Mike Stern's 'Time In Place'.
I had a bunch of tunes on a cassette tape for over 20 years and never knew what any of the tracks were.I'd labelled it 'Mystery Fusion Stuff' and I was scared to play it in case it got chewed up,and figured I'd never find out what any of the cuts were.Thanks to the Shazam app I've been able to identify most of them after all this time.Along with Frank Gambale's 'Legends' and 'The Tardis',this is a real highlight.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAw_KSm7hHc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAw_KSm7hHc)
So I paused the rehearsal recording I was listening to so I could hear the Mike Stern song (I still can't get over how he is now to how fat he was with Miles..) anyway, just went back to rehearsal recording as I type this and it's kinda like going from a nice hotel wedding party to getting drunk with the dumpster divers out back scrounging the leftovers...I think I will always be closer to the dumpsters, which is funny as I am a goldsmith by training and work in a pawnshop so I have more gold go through my hands than most people see in a lifetime; damn I LOSE diamonds in my workshop, but tiny ones worth a few bucks each...still...anyway if anyone cares to listen, they'res some Rumsfeld tunes at reverbnation.com/rumsfeld and I don't know if they're the good recordings of the songs or not as I haven't checked in awhile; my drummer does that stuff...Tony.
I'm a big fan of 'Live from Daryl's House'. One of the episodes, he had Booker T. Jones guesting, and Daryl reached back for this gem:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVt3I-HupRE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVt3I-HupRE)
. . . . Eddie Floyd's 'Never Found a Girl', which Booker T co-wrote and produced the side back in the day when Stax was a powerhouse. Can't argue with him, one of my favorite tunes as well, and rockets me right back into the heyday of Soul music, somewhere I'm very happy.
Daryl's a great 'white soul singer', and without the baggage that usually drags with it, and a great student of his hometown Philly-style and all the rest. I really dug the episodes with Smokey and Shelby Lynne, and Joe Walsh and Billy G turned in good days as well.
Joey
Nice video Joey. I've seen a number of great jams on Live From Daryl's House; two of my favorites were the ones they did with Todd Rundgren. Most of the good stuff is no longer up on Daryl's site; but thanks to you, I've found that some is up on youtube. Here's I Saw The Light (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N48-K9z-HA4), shot at Todd's house.
Thanks for that, I did not know about Daryl's house; I will explore it now; so much good stuff!...the Todd Rundgren song has a very different feel from the rest as it's in a different place; must be amazing to ask Booker T and Billy Gibbons, etc. to come over to your place to play some tunes with your band...Tony
Daryl's House is great fun. Super band.
On a different note; my wife and I saw Birdman yesterday,
The score for the movie is AWESOME,
I was going to reveal it, but I think it is best served unannounced. If you have the time and don't mind spending a few bucks for a movie, you should see Birdman. As I was watching I kept getting caught up in the score - saying, I got to know who this is.
If you don't want to see the movie then do a web search of Birdman score.
Death Don't Have No Mercy, 10-9-1989 Hampton, Va.

Bill, ____ A fun Jam indeed .
Dave, that is indeed the soundtrack.
However the 'score' played throughout the movie was done by Antonio Sanchez - and THAT is what is so very captivating, punctuating and appropriate for the action on screen.
Just returned from a roadtrip trip to Boone/Blowing Rock, North Carolina, where I did a couple gigs with my 2nd cousin. The Persuader can cut a Country Blues-Ragtime gig too!
Anyway, had a couple hundred miles to myself in the car, and listened to the (mostly forgotten) 1995 Fleetwood Mac album, Time. The band personnel at the time was Mick Fleetwood, John, & Christine McVie, with Dave Mason and Billy Burnette on guitars, and Bekka Bramlett as vocalist. I liked the whole album, but Mick's haunting narrative on the last track, These Strange Times presumably a tribute to Peter Green, really stuck with me as I climbed up Fancy Gap on I-77N back into Virginia.

Radiohead - The King of Limbs.
Awoke at 3:30 am - no reason other than I was just done sleeping . . .
This album holds a deep melancholy for me.
Not sure if it is the actual music that brings the heavy emotion or because we got it around the time our first dog was waning from bone cancer.

The review of this album in Rolling Stone was spot on, glad I picked it up at the time (1990).... Definitely defined the era for me prior to the word grunge being kicked around so loosely....
I caught this line-up when they were supporting Uncle Tupelo. Awesome line-up. Tim from the Jayhawks on drums, Mike Russell on fiddle, and Eric Hayward on steel... Jim Bouquist hinted that him and his brother were getting ready for something awesome, and it happened to be Son Volt, after Uncle Tupelo disbanded....

I have loved Matthew Sweet for quite a while; I saw him at a club here in Vancouver a long time ago (perhaps about the time of In Reverse) and I remember as soon as the vocal harmonies of I've been waiting came in I was SO happy to be there; I loved that show...he's written so much good stuff, I just don't know how he's managed to disappear...he does cool pottery now though, and still doing music...probably because he's never been very photogenic, especially now...Tony
Norman Blake's new CD, Wood, Wire, & Words, first new material he's put out in 20 years.
I have always loved Blake's guitar style, and we have similar tastes in vintage Martin guitars.
Here he is (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9zcxHZG5OY) talking about the new album, and playing a bit.
This is fun. Bob Weir and John Mayer; Truckin' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFSQExbSFKw).
It was fun, but listening to John Mayer trying to play over Althea was a bit awkward. He seemed uncomfortable making the changes.
Great to seem them out there, though, and I loved the drummer.
I didn't know John Mayer was doing a show; I'll have to see if I can get it, he seems cool...listening to Dead covers here compared to concert recordings posted, I have to say I prefer the covers because they're the distilled origins and essence; I love jamming but to make a SONG you need to distill it to the core themes ( sorry, I'm making moonshine right now, so I'm into concentrating)...I saw SLEEP on Saturday night, who were awesome...the most awesome rigs; Al the bass player had THREE SVT STACKS with tho backup heads and a HIWATT half stack...Matt Pike had a Marshall jcm800 stack, a HIWATT stack( in white; never seen one before, looked awesome) and an Orange stack; full stacks too...HUGE is all I can say...hate to be the roadies...Tony
Edwin; yeah, the Althea didn't seem to work as well as the Truckin'.
Yeah, caught the Weir/Mayer performance on FB, and almost didn't recognize Keltner w/out the massive DW set.... It was only until I honed in on his left foot that I made the connection.
I did a gig w/ that bass player a few years back, I provided backline for all three bands.... I gave him a Walter Woods head, but I think he was eying the F2-B in my rack...
I think a lot of people write off Jerry Garcia's playing, but whatever you say about him, he knew how to play through changes (and thankfully, so does Trey, which does make him a good choice for this summer). Sometimes that doesn't become obvious until someone else tries to do it, full of confidence that the same old blues licks will still work.
But I enjoyed both, it's nice to see Bob in better shape. I never liked his slide playing much in the past, but now I see it as entertaining performance art.
That has to be the most PC comment about Weir's slide playing I have heard to date. As horrible as Weir's slide playing can be Jerry's wasn't much better... strange considering what a sweet sound he got on pedal steel.
Thought the Weir/Mayer Truckin' was much better than the Althea but the Althea wasn't bad. Keltner's drumming on Truckin' was IMO exceptional, beautiful solid groove with lots of subtle melodic touches in the fills.
I hadn't looked at this thread in a while and missed the mention of a new Norman Blake CD. Been a huge fan since the early 70s so I will definitely be checking it out. Thanks...
As far as slide playing, once you go to lap or pedal steel it's hard to go back... I'm just used to the weight and pressure of a heavy bar, and the muting pressure of my later digits, that when I try to play bottleneck now, it's just awful.... Luckily, I'm the first to notice...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xbNmTyDhIas
Psychedelic to the max....
The bass player on the Meyer/Weir gig looked familiar. It took me a while of searching, but his name is Sean Hurley. And he looked familiar because I've seen him in videos of Meyer posted here before; for instance this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeNzGIw2zz8) with Meyer playing an Alembic Darling. He's also an established session player with an extensive portfolio.
Yeah Dave, I didn't know of the Mayer connection until these videos went up. The gig I did w/ him was Alicia Keys backing band supporting a local kid w/ connections to SST in Hoboken where they all used to rehearse... I don't know if the facility recovered from hurricane Sandy... Last I heard they were only doing cartage in the city.....
Dave, I noticed another established (!) session guy in the vid from Irvine with the Darling: The second drummer (your right, stage left), Jim Keltner ! Further down that YouTube page is a clip from 'Later with Jools Holland' where JM's playing a Wolf.
Joey

Listening to Matthew Sweet Altered Beast while doing some jewellery work and neck sanding on my new bass project (whee!) great album...Tony
Joey; yeah, Keltner's played on one or two things.
Speaking of Keltner, here's Little Village (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr3hGBAD4As), featuring Keltner, Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe, and John Hiatt.
Ah hah! That makes sense that it was Keltner. He's awesome, although I've never seen him play live or even a video of him, despite decades of listening to his playing.
I have a friend who has the same Silvertone as John Hiatt in that video; such a nice guitar...some of those old Harmony's were so good, and the old Kay's too (I have one) but other models were poo...Tony.

I'm addicted to Nicky Bluhm and the Gramblers right now... http://youtu.be/RpqPiO_exYA (http://youtu.be/RpqPiO_exYA)
That was great Mica! , I will look for more of these folks ! Nicky Bluhm has a refreshing approach .
What sonicus said... great band, and looks like it would be a fun gig for a bass player. They remind me of something else, just can't put a finger on it. Anyway, they surely compliment each other well as a band. Easy to see they've been together a while.
As an aside, I've been trying since yesterday evening to figure out if that Martin guitar is a D-18 Golden Era, or Authentic Series. I'm guessing it's a GE. Definitely looks like an Adirondack top, and the long bridge saddle suggests it must be one or the other... the pickguard is throwing me off though. Maybe it was changed?
Great band! The sound reminds me of a band we have up here called Blue Rodeo, although they don't have a female singer. The mix though, and the sound generally.
I just received the Anthology of American Folk Music, a six CD version of the original collection of recordings put together by Harry Smith and released in 1952. Among others, Dylan, Garcia,and Hunter have acknowledged the Anthology as seminal in their development. I'm currently listening the CD's 1&2, Ballads. 3&4 are Social Music and 5&6 are Songs. Altogether a total of eighty-four recordings from the 1920's and early 1930's.
Oh yea, and Nicki Bluhm is excellent!
Bill, tgo
Here's Nicki Bluhm with Phil Lesh, Scott Law, Jackie Greene and more doing Free Man In Paris (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFVKCvK05DI).
Nicki's band is the one that made those really cool videos of them riding down the highway singing covers, like this one: I Can't Go For That (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJiCUdLBxuI).
Dave , I saw that one too . l listened and enjoyed it as well . It was also good to see Phil with his new Series II .He has a Birthday coming up on March 15th along with the famous trumpet player Harry James ! My Birthday will be the day before on March 14th along with Mr. Albert Einstein .
Wolf LLAP
Wolf; one of the things that impresses me most about Phil is that it seems to me that he is always trying to get better, in both his playing and his singing. And in this video, it looks to me like he's once again pushing his own boundaries, playing what I think of as a difficult piece, for what looks to quite possibly be the first time, in a live situation. And having loads of fun all at the same time.
And another thing, while I'm thinking out loud; he is introducing us to a lot of really cool younger musicians, giving them well deserved opportunities, and probably teaching them a thing or two along the way.
Dave LLAP
Dave , Quite certainly ,Phil and that collection of players with Nicki Bluhm did a great job of Free Man in Paris and Nicki sang it wonderfully and they made it their own with Jam Band Grateful Dead style from my perspective. I really liked what they did with it .
As far as Phil introducing young players to us I think is an awesome tradition among great artists such as Mr. Charlie Parker introducing and inviting a young Miles Davis to play with him. Later Mr. Miles Davis introduced us to John McLaughlin and Darryl Jones and several other players . It is such a nice thing for a seasoned accomplished musician to do.

Joni Mitchell - Shadows And Light Concert
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLKb9Ms68ME (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLKb9Ms68ME)
Shadows and Light is an old time favourite of mine I specially enjoy the joke they do on In France they kiss at main street, where, after Pat?s solo, they play an insinuation of Metheny?s Phase Dance... delightful! And an awesome performance, all of it!
Good stuff...a LOT of ACOUSTIC amps up there in that gig...I love my 370; seriously, I've played a number of gigs using more modern solid state amps (Gallien Krueger, etc.) and they don't have the balls of my 370; I'd like some amp geek to explain why to me...
What I am listening to now is rehearsal recordings; some amazingly angry versions of songs; clearly the tensions of each member needed a release...someone recently described our sound as Killdozer mixed with Goddo; a mind-bending mix but perhaps the closest peg yet...Tony

That's the long version. There's also a shorter one which is the one I was talking about. Crazy stuff. If I could play Buckaroo like that I'm not sure I would ever do anything else.

8 string fiddle from Norway, 4 playable strings like a standard fiddle and then 4 sympathetic strings that run underneath the fingerboard.

One of those came through the shop a few years ago where I was working as an apprentice... hands down, that's gotta' be the strangest thing I ever worked on. IIRC, it was a 9 or 10-string too, not as insanely ornate as many are. There's not much I could compare the sound to... and that's saying a little bit, having been around fiddle music for my entire life.
Cool find Paul! Love the Roadshow. Couple of those guys are neighbors of mine, if you ever see Will and Ken Farmer on there. They often appraise musical instruments.

70mph winds and hail. By the time it was over, Vince Herman, who was behind the stage keeping the amps from blowing over, was waist deep in ice water. I thought he was going to suffer hypothermia for sure (the temp dropped from the mid 80s to the mid 60s in nothing flat).
But, I digress. Listening to my recording of Fareed Haque and Tony Monaco from last Thursday night. Burning.

For bluegrass music fans here at the Alembic Club, if you'll permit me a shameless plug... one of my good friends and former band-mates is (one of) the owners/partners at http://bluegrasstoday.com/ (http://bluegrasstoday.com/)
He's grown that thing from the ground up... it's absolutely *the* clearing house for everything that's anything to do with that particular genre' of music, and often those peripheral to it.
Most of you guys and girls know, bluegrass and rock, particularly the music that emerged from the folk boom, and that of bluegrass' 2nd generation of players, are inextricably related, having met up while travelling the same pathways in the late 1960's.

Brazilian drum line; check
Middle Eastern string ensemble; check (piano, 3 violins, a viola, 3 cellos, a guitar, 2 ouds, a flute, a tar, a cajone, & a tamborine)
Mongolian throat singer; check - wait, what?!?! I've heard of it, but this is the first time I've heard it. Freakin' amazing! Cat was bowing a 3-stringed, lap-held fiddle of sort, while at the same time, with his throat (duh - thus the name), he
1) Did a raspy/humming bass line
2) Did a baritone line with the same timbre that moved in parallel, and
3) Did a very intricate whistling melody up around 2nd soprano
Yes, that's one voice, three simultaneous vocal parts; if I hadn't been sitting there watching, I would have wagered cash money it was at overdubbed. Did I mention amazing?

Cool! I met Devin maybe ten years ago with my friend Geoff; he used to manage a rehearsal studio where Strapping Young Lad played...so we're on our way to the bar after work and come across Devin sitting on a rock in a vacant lot about 2 blocks from that space; he was just watching the world go by i guess (a busy intersection) and he seemed to have no good story for being there other than to watch man/Ants at work...a funny meeting but even in that short interaction you could tell he was odd in a fun way...Tony.
One of the advantages that comes from running around playing music with my friends' kids (Mom swears I'm trying to get waived into Gen Y) is being exposed to music I would not have discovered independently.

Very nice integration of the band with chorus and orchestra.

Wolf; that's kind of an interesting thought, and I started writing a long response, and then deleted the whole thing.
Your last post started with If you liked that. What's interesting is I've been sitting here for a while now trying to figure out what like means.
I'll say this about Dream Theater as an example; I greatly appreciate their writing and musicianship (instrumentally; I have no idea what the lyrics are), and for that reason I tend to listen to them every once in a while (I don't listen to anyone often; well, I suppose I listen to Phil Lesh relatively often).
But I don't think I have any kind of emotional connection to Dream Theater's music, just a lot of respect. And again, I'm just using them as an example.
So, in response to your query, if I liked it, well, let's just say I appreciated it.
I'm going to have to think for a while as to what like means.
As a starting point, apparently I like this: Chopin - Fantasie Impromptu - Valentina Igoshina (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-HosIOod_A).
Dave , I LOVE ! , the Chopin - Fantasie Impromptu - Valentina Igoshina. She shows such incredible virtuosity . I have a friend who is a piano classical pianist who also teaches . He has a different set of pedagogy for teaching Bach & Chopin .
Thanks for the link , I will pass it on to him .

I spent many hours of my youth, seated at the baby grand assaulted by the un-ending 'tick,tock' of a keywound Seth Thomas metronome, beating my head soft with JS and CPE Bach, only to later find out what my teacher was desperately hiding from me: The guilty thrill and 'sturm und drang' of the 'Short-Tempered Clavier' and the wonder of that Black Dog of the Bach Family Tree:
PDQ BACH ! ! ! !

A lot of people know Mark King for his famous 'building a shed' bass solos, here is a really good clip of him playing his S2 coco bolo is a more restrained fashion and using just about every technique(except tapping) he knows. Very jazzy, very funky and very pleasant to listen and watch.

Bassist is 9 years old . . . . keep you eye on these three.
Wow! That was a good cover.
On one hand it's sorta depressing to see kids who overall play better than you (or know more songs) but at the same time it's awesome as it shows that not all kids are wasting all their time with video games and facebook and all that crap...yay music!
After watching far too many of their videos I can say this:
The drummer has a superior skill set and the over all energy of all three is inspiring.
I think I will hang my bass up after seeing that, frightening doesn't even come into it, at the other end of the scale I posted the Sleepyman Banjo Boys on here and that was just as frightening to see a 9/10 year old kid playing Bela Fleck's 'Whitewater' along with his brothers at unbelieveable accuracy!
OK, that's good, Pauldo - but for Enter Sandman as you've never heard it, the band of history profs I occasionally do sound for do it with swing (alas, no vid to link).

True that ^ Tony. I feel pretty fortunate to have been an influence (hopefully a positive one) on several kids musical experience in the past few years. It's been a blast having a back-line seat watching them progress from prodigious youngsters into seasoned performers.
My contribution to the Listening thread today: Mike Auldridge, Jerry Douglas & Rob Ickes - Three Bells. It's fantastic... you would think three resonator guitars wouldn't produce anything more than absolute cacophony, but each of these guys are masters of the instrument.

*Mike Auldridge passed away this past year, this album was released posthumously. Mike was a peach of a guy, with whom I once had the honor of recording with. He was one of the most personable musicians I ever met, even wrote some of the liner notes on the project for us.

Rob , I am glad that you enjoyed it. The sad aspect is what the song is really about , that being the devastating loss of human life after an atomic war. Her rendition makes the corners of my eyes tear , thus she has been successful as an artist and has made an impact, at least on me , but surely many other folks as well .

Tinnitus.
Edwin, I am sorry to read of your tinnitus, I know what thats like .
I listen to tinnitus daily but am tired of hearing the same thing over and over... wish they could write some new material.
I suppose I have tinnitus; there is constant white noise in my ears. I've had it for quite a while now, and I'm quite used to it.
Quite a while back, I had my hearing tested; and there was high end loss in my left ear, and both high end and low end loss in my right ear. When I'm in a noisy room, I can't hear what other people are saying unless I lean in close with my left ear.
Of course I played in loud bar band most of my life. But around fifteen years ago, the band I was in practiced in the basement of one of the members. It was not a large room. One night as we were getting ready to rehearse, he was adjusting the vocal levels; all of a sudden there was this piercing feedback, which really hurt. I'm pretty sure that one incident did more damage than any other.
It's a cautionary tale for all of you who are still playing in loud bands. If the person mixing your sound at rehearsal isn't careful, real damage can be done in a second.
Where I live it can get really quiet and peaceful. I like to sit out on the front porch and listen to the creek, the wind in the trees, and the white noise in my ears. They all blend in together.
Try working on an aircraft carrier for a few years... kind of noisy!!

I watched some of, and read about, Nightwish last night. Interestingly, they've had three different lead singers; the one in the video that Wolf linked is the latest.
Dave,Thanks for checking that out. I am a little curious about the Symphonic type Metal with Female fronted opera like lead singers. There is musical drama and performance art there that I find appealing to some extent. Kind of Kool in a way .
New stuff for me to hear and maybe even explore !
I thought the combination worked well. And Wolf, if you haven't seen them with the first singer, you may like her as much as the third.
From what I read, most of what they record includes symphony orchestras. I watched a few of their live videos, and while I'm not sure, it did seem to me that there may have been more musical content than was being produced by the musicians. Put another way, it seemed to me that perhaps the orchestral and choral parts were not being reproduced by a keyboard, but by a recording.
Which is a whole, and perhaps interesting, discussion in itself.
Dave, yes I have checked out their other lineups ,in some cases I have come to the same conclusion as you . In my post #4114 in this thread and on this page is a link to an EPICA performance, another band in the same genre in a live performance with a full symphony !
Singer Simone Simons shines very bright here !

When I am working, the station I listen to most often is Venice Classic Radio. I find that baroque music provides the best environment for concentration.
Sometimes they get a bit overblown, but most of their selections are very good.
http://www.veniceclassicradio.eu/en/ (http://www.veniceclassicradio.eu/en/)
Also, a lot of what Bach composed he did not write down. Much of it was improvised and sketches written that were frozen on paper by later interpreters. He was apparently a brilliant improviser.

Well, that was different.
This thread is turning into What WERE you listening to for me.
Yesterday was my wife's birthday (and Mica's- happy belated).
We went and saw the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra perform Beethoven's Fifth, truly a pleasure. The show started with some modern composers (Sean Shepherd and Nico Muhly). But the cherry on top was that prior to going into Beethoven's brilliance, they played a short song by Morton Feldman.
As soon as the song started my wife bolted upright and sat on the edge of her seat; the song was the same song that is the intro to a local radio show (WMSE's The Modern Chamber) and she always swoons when she hears it.
So there it was, the perfect birthday gift, surprisingly provided by an unexpected source.
And here it is: Madame Press Died Last Week at Ninety

SHADY GROVE Clawhammer Guitar Solo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmCoVwJeOgY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmCoVwJeOgY)
Agree Wolf... and of all the Romance languages, French seems to translate easiest into music. Alas, I only ever studied Latin, (use the term study loosely) so I couldn't understand a word of it. Ordinarily, you'd simply assume since you're performing it for a wedding ceremony, it must be pretty sentimental, but the sheer inflection makes it clear in that sound.
It wasn't as difficult as I thought either... there is no bass on the recording I was given to study, so I was able to chart it with a clean slate.
FWIW, The Civil Wars was a short-lived thing... the duo split last year even with some critical acclaim ongoing. I wish there had been more of that kind of thing happening in Nashville back in my time there.
And that cut of Shady Grove is AWESOME! Just forwarded to my list.
New River Bound (my neo-oldtyme ensemble) has a totally different major key rendition that plays more like a breakdown/jam tune. We like to finish the set with it!
Greg, I am glad that you like it!

Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, When You Get To Asheville (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RzhTN9zW3w).
Steve Martin is a real decent banjo player. And a serious art collector. Go figure.
Saw Martin guest-host for Carson once; it was the first I knew he played, and I thought he was pretty fair. But one of his guests was his teacher (that would be John McEuen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyoJ1Ijl-SU)) and he kind of blew me away. Then, while they were at the couch talking, John lays his banjo on the floor, takes off his shoes & socks (to reveal another pair of socks with the toes cut out) and proceeds to blow away most players I've heard with his feet!
Peter (who's starting to think he couldn't sound worse playing that way....)
Having grown up in the house of a banjo player, I can tell you firsthand - banjo players are a breed all to their own. =)
I absolutely *love* Steve Martin's frailed-style of playing, but not as much the three-finger Scruggs-style. I could never figure out why one style was so immaculately in time and the other seemed... forced. But then I (somehow) never knew McEuen had been his mentor, which makes it totally make sense!
My favorite cut from Rare Bird Alert with the Steep Canyon Rangers backing -
http://youtu.be/U5Gi8ToIH-8 (http://youtu.be/U5Gi8ToIH-8)
Interestingly, the Steep Canyon Rangers are from right down the road from here in Brevard, North Carolina.
I just listened to the Bonnie Dobson version of Morning Dew. I have to admit that I had never heard of her before. MD is my favorite Dead song and I always thought they had written it. Got me thinking how many other songs of theirs that I like actually are covers. Does anyone know if there is a simple list anywhere that shows the songs the Dead have played and who the original artist was?
This probably isn't exactly what you were looking for, but it does give some of the composers and it's in list (http://www.allmusic.com/artist/grateful-dead-mn0000988440/songs/all) form.
Thanks Dave. Like you suggested, though, still a lot of holes. The information I'm looking for is probably unnecessary for most people who listen to the Dead.
Here's another list (http://www.coversproject.com/artist/grateful%20dead/); still not comprehensive, but a decent start, I think.
This one (http://www.coversproject.com/artist/grateful%20dead/) has most of the same songs, but with more details.

Just heard about this kid (yes, kid, all of 11 years old) and I had to buy his album. Great player, great players on the record, great sounding record. One of my new favorites. His Giant Steps is especially good. If you just heard the music, you'd have no idea he can barely see over the piano. Some of it reminds me of Ahmad Jamal.

Xander played air drums to most of it this evening!
Wow!
One of the comments about Joey sums it up nicely:
. . . an organic understanding of rhythm and musicality . . .
It makes me feel good when young people truly understand what music is about.
Out-takes from Fleetwood-Mac's Rumours.
I especially like Keep Me There, one of three unfinished songs that became what we know as The Chain. Love how John's line is based more off what Christine played on keys, than Mick's kickdrum, especially the intro and his signature melodic fills.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtP1AzUQDwM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtP1AzUQDwM)
I'm pretty sure even though this is an alternate take, it's the fretless (ahem - *continuously fretted*) Alembic... you can hear it pretty well in this mix. The part of this track from 2:44 out is supposedly what made it onto the album.
Thanks Peter!
Weedeater 'Goliathan'; some of the most spitty, fuzzed-out bass ever with vocals to match-Dixie's vocal chords must be SO thrashed...and Sol Invictus', the new Faith No More album; so happy they're producing new music, such a good band...
It was mentioned in another thread about recording with Alembic, the band Sea Level.
I dusted off the old album and I am introducing their music to my 27 yo son.
No complaints so far.
As for me - I'm loving it!

OK, OK, I'm not listening to it now (unfortunately!), but I heard a phenomenal version of That's It for the Other One on Today In Grateful Dead history (Sirius XM) yesterday morning. It was from a rare show in June 1970 in Oahu, Hawaii. I'm usually not much into drum solos, but I thought the solo in that version was excellent and unique. At one point, you could hear Kreutzmann adding some vocalization of beats! Of course, I wanted to hear the moment when Phil blasts in with his bass intro, but the drum solo kept going. Alas, I had to go into work before it got to that point in the song! I figured I would find it on archive.org later, but it's not on there!
Has anyone heard this before? Great stuff!
It looks like there were three shows in Oahu in June, 1970; the 10th, 12th, and 13th. That's It for the Other One is not listed on the 13th. I didn't see a set list for the other two. The 10th, apparently at Diamond Head Crater, isn't even listed in some show lists, so this might not be it. But here's what I found (http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2009/08/missing-1970-shows.html) on the 12th:
6/12/70 Oahu - Not in circulation. Lemieux has played The Other One on the Taper's Section a couple times.
So I'm guessing that's what you heard.
Yes, that's the one! Listening to 3-1-70 right now. Lemieux said he would play some of the show from the 13th soon.

These are some of the finest musicians around that play the true Appalachian string band music. This sound is very much what my group New River Bound is influenced/inspired by... though the guitar is doing the heavy lifting here, try and imagine what a bassline underneath that groove would sound like, and that's what we're shooting for.
I really like that ! Thanks !

Last night I watched the first set of the second night of Phil's 1977 tribute, with special guest John Mayer.
The lineups for these shows is always changing; there is no set band that has played the songs together for a while. And some of the Dead material is difficult.
So I'm watching last night and they do Sunrise! Very rare performance. Even Phil and Stu were glued to their music stands reading the chart. At one point Phil is looking around at the other players as if wondering what happens next.
For those unfamiliar with the tune, here is the original (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W2SQfNNvRc).
Singing it this time was Jeannette Ferber, and she did very well. The whole set is here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ygxcDFGYLE).

I'm going to be listening to a lot of YES this week.
Graeme
I don't know any YES music or anything about Chris Squire, but one gig I did a few years an audience member came to chat to me in the interval and said my bass sound reminded him of Chris.
Alice Cooper, Killer - because every once in a while, you just have to.

I love Chris' glassy tone and feel on this.
Cool studio footage too...
I'd do it again is what he says at the end.

Great choice Peter. I remember spending weeks working out the bassline to Halo of Flies I the days when all I had was a cheap record player - I became quite skilled at lifting the needle and dropping it just where I wanted.

Jazzy, you should really check Yes out. Their first drummer, Bill Bruford didn't actually know what Rock and Roll was, he was a jazz schooled drummer, and he and Chris wove some really intricate rhythms as a result. Find the song Heart of the Sunrise
Kirwan Brown and Henrique Almeida Deux.
Great bass playing and great drumming. I hadn't listened to this in a while and a FB conversation with Kirwan reminded me that it was time to give it a spin.

Patti Smith covering George Harrison's Within You Without You (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXutckBzuyY). It's a departure from the original in that the underlying rhythm is quite different; but Patti gives a very nice reading.
Thanks for sharing that Patti Smith; I've of course known of her forever but never heard( I think I even have a cd I've never listened to...I have thousands so so things get buried before I can hear them...) I think I have to dig that cd out and such...it sorta sucks having musical tastes going from King Sunny Ade to Pig Destroyer because there's always a ton of stuff you're gonna miss no matter how much music you buy and check out...oh well, just gotta think of us all as music barnacles, trying to catch as much with our flagellum as we can...Tony
Regardless of what you might think of Patti Smith's music, it's well worth reading her book, Just Kids, her account of her life with Robert Mapplethorpe in the late 60s and early 70s in NYC. She's a great writer and her tales are very compelling. It's an amazing window into a time and place that was really the transition between post-WWII NY and the modern city.
I did get to see her open for the Grateful Dead once. That was a lot of fun.
I saw her open for Neil Young two yeas ago, she was fantastic!
I saw her at CBGB's in New York MANY years ago, when she first hit big. I don't remember too much about the music. Rather, I remember her humping the mic stand and her bass player wrapping aluminum foil around his head and trying (unsuccessfully) to climb up a column supporting the roof. I was not impressed.
Bill, tgo
Tony; good point about the huge amount of good music there is that we miss because there's just so much of it.

Enjoyed Purson Wolf. I'm drawn to that relaxingly under-produced sound.
Conversely, I'm listening to the (mildy over-produced) soundtrack to the movie Twister from 1996. (NO WAY that was twenty years ago!)
Specifically, Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks' theme music Twisted. Stevie claims at least to have written the lyrics long before, that they just happened to loosely coincide with the movie plot. This must have been recorded right before the concert and subsequent reunion tour for The Dance.
Anyway, I sat up half the night with a very good friend watching it on DVD this weekend, so it must've stuck in my head. The words have taken on a different meaning for me, in the wake of another good friend's recent passing.

Gregory ,
I am glad that you liked the Purson link. The Bass player Justin Smith is also an interesting player in that it seems that he has been influenced by some of the same Bass players that I was decades ago myself. He also has a GUILD STARFIRE in his stable of instruments and seems to be endorsed by GUILD by the look of this link.

I am very hopeful that soon he will be playing an ALEMBIC Bass on stage ! Perhaps it is just a matter of time. If someone handed him a swell Alembic bass to checkout and play sometime I can't see why that could not happen.
I checked out the words to Twisted in your link , I can relate as well , I have been there a few times as well .

I'm vacationing at the world's oldest and largest Fiddler's Convention in Galax, Virginia all next week... http://oldfiddlersconvention.com/ (http://oldfiddlersconvention.com/)
I'll have to see if some of my younger, (far more tech-savvy) fellow musicians can post some of what we're up to down there. This will be my 28th consecutive year as a contestant, and my 30th in attendance.
Unfortunately, (thanks to the actions of some rude, obnoxious folks a few years ago) they don't allow any electrically amplified instruments in the campground, so the Alembic stays home. =(
But hey, the ol' upright needs some love too. =)
At some point back in the 70's or thereabouts (I no longer remember when), I went to this one (http://vanhoyfarms.com/fiddlers-convention/). I can remember that there were lots of people there, lots of musicians, and that I had a good time.

[update] Found this on wikipedia:
The Union Grove Old Time Fiddlers' Convention originally founded in 1924 by H. P. VanHoy and friends, as a fund raiser for the school. Held annually on the school grounds every Easter weekend, the Fiddlers' Convention was a popular community event that brought many area old-time fiddlers into the small unincorporated town of Union Grove to compete. With the folk music revival in the 1950s and 1960s, however, this small-town community event became increasingly popular with young people who would travel great distances to attend. The unconventional lifestyles of some of these young people disturbed many residents of the conservative farming community. The Woodstock generation generated huge crowds to Union Grove, thus overwhelming the community's resources.
I guess I was one of those woodstock generation that overwhelmed the place.

I know about Union Grove Dave, but never went to that one. My Dad want to take (6-year-old) me to this one- http://www.stompin76.com/ (http://www.stompin76.com/) but my Mom wouldn't let him! That festival was probably the turning point in the generational gap between the originators and your age bracket. How the time foes fly... a few years later, I was *playing* at the reunion Stompin'99. What a week! It was the strangest meld of 3 generations of Deadheads and the top tier of the Bluegrass & Oldtyme world all in one 40-acre field. All the musicians were put in cabins together, a tragic error on the promoters part, since very shortly after that got spread around, there were as many people in the musicians village as there were at the main stage.
I could go on about that for a while, but in the spirit of the LISTENING THREAD, I've been killing time this morning listening to James Taylor. I caught his show in Greensboro last night. (and got to meet-n-hang for a while with fellow Alembican JimmyJ... awesomely nice guy)

For practice time, I've been playing along with Vince Gill's 1996 High Lonesome Sound album this morning. It came out during my time in Nashville, and it makes me remember the good times there. Anyway, the bass playing on it always makes me think of Jimmy Johnson. (no wonder - Leland Sklar played bass on 90% of the album, the other 10% was Barry Bales of Alison Krauss & Union Station if you're wondering... also a monster bassist)?

Alison has a gift for picking songs that work for her, and this one is a gem... can't figure how it garnered so little attention. I've been thinking about my buddy Tony a lot lately... this tune has taken on new meaning since he's been gone.
Incidentally, the bassist on this live take is Abe Laboriel... I love how he just pedals that same little groove all the way through.

Page's production and playing, JPJ's immaculate lines (40 years later, I STILL keep finding gems in his bass parts, like the double stops under the chorus of 'When the Levee Breaks'), Bonham's massive drumming, and Percy's vocals.

On Zeppelin's first two albums I can find find many fine such examples that left a mark on My own Playing Chops along with other great Bass players .

Brittany Haas, world-class fiddler, joined by her sister Natalie on cello and Joe Walsh on mandolin. The second tune in this medley (at 3:15) is Duck River, a traditional fiddle tune that really showcases her amazing abilities.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-Fg5SCoeBA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-Fg5SCoeBA)
Duck River, like most other Appalachian fiddle melodies, is also known by several different titles. Some of which are: Dubuque, Old Dubuque, General Lee, or Sally in the Green Corn. A little more searching says the specific Duck River tune seems to be part of a fairly common tune family. The tune family to which Duck River belongs also includes Ma Ferguson, Nancy Dawson, Nancy Dalton, and Hell Up Coal Holler See also Mabel and Possum Up a Gum Stump.
I don't necessarily agree... those tunes are quite different from a bass player's perspective. Anyway, Brit can bring it!

The Haas sisters are wonderful. I used to run into them on a regular basis at festivals when I was touring with Great American Taxi. I would recommend that everyone go see them if you can.

Spent last night in the company of C,S,& N at Glasgow's royal concert hall. I have to say, for a bunch of guys in their 70's they still have phenomenal voices. More or less a 'Greatest Hits' show with 3 new numbers(one from each of them) they blasted out hit after hit with no apparent vocal issues although Stephen looked relieved to have got through 'Suite' cleanly at the end of the show.
One highlight - Croz brought out his 12 string alembicised starfire for wooden ships. It still looks to be in immaculate condition and sounded fantastic.
Another highlight, - they had Russ Kunkel on drums - one of my favourites.
And we bumped into croz (literally) outside the venue as we were chatting with friends we haven't seen for ages. ( he was being rushed to his transport by a couple of heavies as they'd not parked at the stage door).
They're getting on in years and I don't know how long they can keep the harmonies going but based on last night's performance I doubt they'll be quiting anytime soon.

Me, Coz, and Ed_Zep have been reminiscing on another thread about a couple of these folks...

That was sweet.
I've got this on the turntable-Kinks...Low Budget (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3kqK7Pkolc%20target=_blank)
Last weekend...Saturday night it was David Grisman and the Bluegrass Experience. Sunday Victor Wooten. The Grisman show was not only a musical experience but an educational one as well. Purchased seats the night before for $40 and sat front row. The next night at the Dakota Jazz club with Wooten was just as good. A true virtuoso. What a weekend of music! and for a TOTAL of $75. Main reason I won't be purchasing tickets at $50 (rafters), $75 (can actually see the person on the stage), $100 close enough to be able to tell Weir from Hart) for the Dean & company shows in Minneapolis,
The Kinks' Low Budget tour in 1979 was the first gig I took the future Mrs J to when we started courting. Amazing night. ray Davies changed his jacket after just about every song. Bottom end on that tour was held down by Jim Rodford (ex Argent) who had the first Trace Elliot amp I ever heard. I still have the ticket and metal badge (pin) from that gig.

I just discovered this last night. Old & In The Way LIVE in '73
http://youtu.be/nhA8bntkypE (http://youtu.be/nhA8bntkypE)
Great sound, especially Vassar Clement's fiddle and Jerry Garcia's banjo. (You forget what a great banjoist he was, y'know what I mean?)
I'd been listening to C,S,N&Y's Deja Vu album for years and always admired the amazing pedal steel on Teach Your Children. I was on tour with Mason Williams and the song came on the radio. He said that the pedal steel part was played by Jerry Garcia! (It's in the album credits, but I never noticed it.)
I remember that Mason also said that it was a legendary session because supposedly Jerry showed up, listened to the song once and played. That's the take we've heard all these years! Apparently Jerry was so embarrassed by the take that he left immediately, and didn't like to discuss it afterward.
Yet there's a whole generation (or three) that if you asked them to name one steel guitar part ...
Anyway, there are a lot of songs on this recording that aren't on the album. Enjoy!
Old & In The Way was awesome! I know a Dobro player that jammed with Vassar Clements on occasion.
Just watched the Haas sisters video (I'm a bit behind); very nice! Loved the instrumentation, and the arrangement.
Just ran across this, and surprised I haven't seen it before; this is a treasure trove,

Anner Bylsma's version of the cello suites on a period cello that is larger than a typical instrument in a very nicely reverberant room. Probably my fifth version of the suites and my favorite so far.
Liked it Pete! Somewhere in my shop is an album with Ponty, Al DiMeola and Stanly Clarke. It's called The Rite of Strings. Here's a live cut of the title from it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byn3PG1DY3c (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byn3PG1DY3c)
Edwin, I love the cello. I don't have many regrets in life, but the one I do have is that I didn't take up cello until the age of 30, by which point it's difficult if not impossible to find a teacher. Consequently, I only ever play it at home to amuse myself.
Here's one of my favorite modern pieces rendered by Yo Yo Ma. A good friend sent it to me on a very bad day a little while back.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=23&v=T0a4GpNHzMc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=23&v=T0a4GpNHzMc)
On the subject of Anner Bijlsma, he was featured in yesterday's Vrije Geluiden (http://www.vpro.nl/vrije-geluiden/media.VPWON_1232814.html%20target=_blank) TV program, an interview laced with fly-on-the-wall footage of him tutoring three cellists on the finer points of phrasing when playing the G major cello suite. Unfortunately for most of you, you'll need to understand Dutch to get the most out of it.
Here's Stanley Clarke playing the prelude to Bach's Cello Suite no. 1:

That's just amazing on so many levels. First, Stanley himself. Playing an upright bass is a very physical act. (watch his face) Playing a cello piece on upright bass shouldn't even be possible. Secondly, that is also an incredible instrument he's playing. There just aren't that many upright basses that can even be played in that register and sound like anything other than bow noise.
I have no idea why these guys popped into my head last night, but I really liked them a lot. Hadn't heard this song in years... it ain't J.S. Bach, but it made me feel good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3mfCeoCnyQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3mfCeoCnyQ)
I can't find any information about the particular upright Stanley is playing in that clip, but here's Flyaway lightweight upright (with removable neck) he designed:

I just finished watching the movie Round Midnight (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_Midnight_%28film%29). I've watched it a few times
before, but it's been a while. It's loosely based on the story of Bud Powell. It's a
wonderful, if sad, movie, with lots of great musicians, and full of great music.
Highly recommended.

I liked Southern Pacific, but I was nuts for The Desert Rose Band. Chris and Herb's harmonies, backed up by axe-murderer John Jorgenson and the Mighty JD Maness on steel.

This clip shows JJ with a really nice P90'd LP that he gets sounding a whole lot like a Tele. Dig the stereo setup with two AC30's for that chorus riff that runs through the tune. I had to laugh remembering Pete Anderson behind Yoakam running a pair of snarling Twins off a Space Echo !

Saw HUM on monday; so glad to finally see a band I've loved reunite and finally get to see them and them be just as good as they were...science nerds who are guitar nerds making music that actually ROCKS and then will slip right into something minimal and beautiful and onto something else...wish I knew how to make guitar soundsheets like that...I'm also listening to the latest GHOST album, the latest from THE SWORD ant the latest POINTED STICKS album; a varied palette of late...Tony

I'm not big on using a bunch of effects pedals, but it's cool how Buck is able to emulate his original recording of this, which had multiple guitar tracks. Besides, how sweet is that... dude wrote a little tune for his GF like 50 years ago, and still doing it? =)

Just saw Ron Carter at the Regatta Bar...what an inspiration!
Jealous!
Saw him about a decade ago, solo show.
Oh the tone, oh the mastery, oh the beauty of it all!
This is my buddy Tony Collins, who would have been 55 today. Someone caught this video of him at the Galax Fiddler's Convention a couple years ago, jamming a flatpicking standard with another member of the next generation of guitar monsters. It's one of the very few recordings that exist, but it's very typical of Tony. He loved to sit and jam, especially with the youngsters, and (as evidenced here) they soaked it in like sponges.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXsnAHXNFl8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXsnAHXNFl8)
The other young musicians in this video, watching this scene unfold... most weren't even born yet when me and Tony first met up in that muddy field. It's been 2-1/2 months now... I still can't believe he's gone. But as clearly as you can see the inspiration on their faces, the music lives on. I really miss that guy.
*incidentally, I'm 99.9% sure that's Tony's beloved double-nickel a 1955 Martin D-18 Jared is playing. They must have switched guitars for this tune.
Delightful video Greg! What did Tony say to him during that last time through?
I'm not sure Dave... just listening, I think he hung onto that minor 6 chord longer than he meant to, and just said Sorry 'bout that man, apparently thinking he might've messed up Jared's solo. Tony would often exclaim something in his native East Tennessean during a hot line... one of the things I liked most about him was how he admired other players. There was never a hint of conceit in him.
Temperance Reel is another one of those old tunes that has evolved somewhat in the past half-century. The younger players tend to drop a 4-chord into the resolve of the b-part, where some of us more seasoned guys stubbornly hold the minor-6. I think that's what was going on here... watch how Tony watches Jared's left hand, as if he's trying to decide which incarnation of the tune is being played. Most all these younger players are friends of Tony's kids... both of them are extremely gifted players too.
A friend just shared something that I think some of you will like. This is Eric Bibb playing Booker's Guitar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQl6g-jrFYk). There is a nice story, both in the lyrics and in the notes below the video; and nice guitar work. The vocal is a nice combination of spoken word sometimes moving into melody. Beautiful tune.
Just finished watching Phil & Friends (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_ZSKD0wNWk) at Lockn' 9/12/15.
The band was Phil Lesh (bass, vocals), Carlos Santana (guitar), Warren Haynes (guitar, vocals), Rob Barraco (keys, vocals), Barry Sless (guitar, pedal steel), John Molo (drums).
Great lineup, and a great set!
Barry Sless took the lead in all the right places, and the band went through some really cool changes. The vocals between Barraco, Warren, and Phil were great.
Sound quality was very good, however the mix was sometimes a bit uneven. The video quality was also very good, however the producer apparently couldn't tell who was playing the lead parts, and they rarely focused on Barraco and Sless.
But the performance was wonderful; much better than I was expecting. And the bass was way up in the mix and sounded great; and the producer focused on Phil and the Alembic a lot. And Phil was playing great and having fun.
When I left the he studio biz 10 years ago $1000 would have barely covered 3 hours studio time.

I don't have time to listen to much music today... we're under a declared State of Emergency here in Virginia, so the outfit I work for is in full-on-scramble mode to make sure the Water Plants are staffed. I'm talkin' they're in DefCon 4 mode... granted, if we do in fact get what the forecast is calling for, it'll be a legitimate disaster. Fingers crossed we'll get by with one more... it's been about 30 years since the last major flood event hit Roanoke.

Yessir, looks bad, but mostly just for the projected rainfall. They just put up the watertight barricades on the front of Roanoke Memorial Hospital next door to my plant. We put up plywood and sandbags around the main pump station this afternoon too, in hopes that might buy us an extra couple hours.

I was thinking of Lester Young a little earlier this evening, and went looking for this famous video from 1957 featuring Billie Holiday and a number of other jazz greats. If you watched Ken Burns' jazz documentary, this scene is in there.
Lester takes the second solo after Billie's first verse. The whole video is great. Billie is wonderful; and Lester's solo is sublime.

Ian Anderson - Homo Erraticus - Album (2014)
Graeme; I think it's amazing. I learned a lot from it; plus, it is so well put together that, for me, it's very enjoyable viewing. Burns' team meticulously revived old archival footage, bringing it alive to help tell the story. It really does tell the history of this music in that you can see the evolution over time.
There are reasonable criticisms, especially over musicians left out or glossed over, and others for whom too much time might have been spent, and the choice of expert commentators, etc; and some have found the last chapter on current day developments somewhat lacking. But overall, an amazing work, and a great resource.
I hope you like it.
I never get tired of McVie's bass part on this one... since this is from the Tusk tour in 1980, I'm guessing this is probably #27. (also based on that insane slide up to the 24th fret)

Dang Forest, that's hard-core critique ^there^ bud... don't hold back. =)
The thing kinda' grew on me later... I was a senior in high school when Tango in the Night came out, which was coincidentally about the same time I started playing bass. I worked my way backwards through all the albums prior, but it was a while before I got the big picture. I was but a pup in 1969 when John and Mick started their namesake trip, so it wasn't like I had grown up with the classic blues/rock incarnations of the band. I was however, fascinated by them in good ol' 1987 though... it kinda' became the soundtrack for my late teens.
Now, here's a fine example of the small world that is music... I actually knew Buster B. (Brad) Jones, and had the chance to play with him a couple times. Not only that, I'm tracking this coming Saturday morning at Flat Five Studios where a good portion of his music was recorded. The tracking engineer Tom Ohmsen, is a mutual friend. RIP Brad... he was a monster player.
Listen (if you are so equipped) to an LP of Rodney Justo on 45 and a 45 of Stevie Nicks on 33, and then tell me - why was there never a Fleetwood Mac/ARS double bill?
Where did you go Clark? You just missed Superman!

I saw them a few times at Pier 84 in NY in the 80s, fantastic stuff! All four guys really worked hard with great energy! One night they were introduced by a DJ on one of the NY radio stations who gave them great praise. Adrian slyly asked, then why don't they play their music more often?!

Saw them 3 weeks ago in Edinburgh. Tony Levin and 3 drummers!. Fantastic 'greatest hits' show although they didn't say a word to the audience all night.

You had me at Tony Levin. I was all over Peter Gabriel's first album (especially because Levin plays tuba and upright bass, like me) to the point where I bought a 10-string Chapman Stick for an astronomical price, only to find out I can't play the damn thing.
The bass strings are in the middle, with the highest strings to the outside. From your chin, the first five strings are tuned in 4ths - high to low, remember. Same tuning as bass, but the pitches are reversed.
(http://alembicguitars.net/club/messages/449/220888.jpg)
See what I mean? Wrap your brain around that, then add the fact that you're playing with BOTH HANDS. Yikes! Like all true masters, Tony Levin makes it look easy. Next time you hear Sledgehammer, do the pat your head and rub your belly, then switch thing to get an idea of what it's like to play that on Chapman Stick.
Y'know, I was going to cut 'n paste something about Tony Levin, but since Dec. 8, 1980 I've always thought of Tony Levin as the bassist on John Lennon's Double Fantasy. It's comforting in a bass-centric way, somehow. So just take a moment and see how many Tony Levin bass lines you know in your head, but didn't know they were his;

Ed, as extensive as the list of Tony's recordings is, they left this one off - http://www.levinminnemannrudess.com/ (http://www.levinminnemannrudess.com/)
It's a collaboration with Marco Minneman & Jordan Rudess. It stayed in my CD player in my truck the 1st 2 months I had it, good stuff!
I once saw TL at a Trace-Eliot showcase, after G****n bought them, and he was featured in those print ads. He'd demo several Trace rigs with his usual MusicMans, then he suddenly whipped out the Chapman (this was after he demonstrated his technique with those sticks on his fingers) and began to play that crazy intro to that Crimson tune. It was fabulous in that he admitted he never forgot how to play it, but he couldn't explain HOW he played it !
I always loved that picture on the NS Design website with Tony onstage with PG with that full-length NS upright strapped on (but at times, he really does look like G Gordon Libby: I'm sure he must cringe!).
One of my favorite times I saw him was back in the day, Cinemax ran a tribute to Les Paul, and one of the performances was EvH backed by TL, Jan Hammer, and Bruford, as all three of whom seemed to be saying, 'OK kid, try that elephant trumpet thing with us, and we'll SEE what ya got', and sure enough he did, and they didn't !
Glad you remembered it too, Eddie Z.

I met this Todd Parks cat (playing bass) last year at a local venue, but with his regular gig. One of the most impressive bass players I ever met, and a really personable guy too.
Nice, Gregory! Mr. Parks is, indeed good, and so is Tim O'Brien - and I don't think I have ever not loved anything Jerry Douglas has played on; the best Dobroist of all time, period!

I'm (still) on a McVie kick, and am about halfway through learning the tunes on his one album with a relatively unknown singer named Lola Thomas. I stumbled through this one late last night (ironically on the eve of an ex-girlfriend's birthday) and really got into the cool blue stuff he's playing:

Somebody mentioned Tim O'Brien: here's two by *Red Knuckles and the Trailblazers
Red Remembers the Sixties http://youtu.be/4x4fjr67_jE (http://youtu.be/4x4fjr67_jE)
Apache http://youtu.be/4x4fjr67_jE (http://youtu.be/4x4fjr67_jE)
* according to Hot Rize' site ( http://hotrize.com/red-knuckles-trailblazers/ (http://hotrize.com/red-knuckles-trailblazers/) ); Red Knuckles and the Trailblazers is a band that travels in the back of the Hot Rize bus and occasionally spells their employers on stage. The foursome (Red Knuckles, Wendell Mercantile, Waldo Otto, and Swade) plays 40?s and 50?s country music as well as you might expect from people who have mostly listened to the same jukebox for most of their lives. That jukebox, at the Eat Cafe in Wyoming, Montana, is where Red and the boys first met Hot Rize and agreed to leave their home to pursue fortune and fame.
Check out Wendell's guitar:
Up the 'Blazers Ed_Zep! Love those guys!
That's seriously one of the funniest alter-ego comedic routines ever. Hot Rize was just at a local venue recently but I had a gig elsewhere that night.
One of the funniest bits they ever did, at the Ryman Auditorium one night, they had Jerry Douglas dressed in a white tux, dark glasses and a huge cigar as the Trailblazer's manager, and Sam Bush in a blue and red leotard as Waldo's long-lost cousin.
This must be a version of the same thing, with Jerry Douglas and Sam Bush, though some of the details differ: http://youtu.be/zRU9LjInuBo (http://youtu.be/zRU9LjInuBo)
I've seen them live a bunch of times. Red introduced Waldo as the guy playing electric table one time, and it still cracks me up. (Especially because Waldo may - or may not - be closely related to Peter Wernick, in my unbelievably humble opinion, one of the greatest banjo players who ever lived).
I learned how to play a walking bass line from Swade. Red asked him to demonstrate walking bass for the crowd, and Swade played one note (completely offbeat, of course) while walking slowly back and forth across the stage. (I still can't do it on an upright, though.)
The auto-double-post functions perfectly. I only pushed post once, though I admit, sometimes I wish there was a way to kick it. So what shall I do with this pre-derailed post? I know!
Solitaire by Jethro Tull
Brain storming, habit forming, battle warning
Weary winsome actor spewing spineless chilling lines
The critics falling over to tell themselves he's boring
And really not an awful lot of fun
Well, who the hell can he be when he's never had V.D.
And he doesn't even sit on toilet seats?
Court jesting, never resting, he must be very cunning
To assume an air of dignity and bless us all with his oratory prowess
His lame brained antics and his jumping in the air
And every night his act's the same
And so it must be all a game of chess he's playing
But you're wrong, Steve.
You see, it's only solitaire.
That's what happens when you piss off a Scot. Steve got off easy. Trust me.

Teutonic prog-rock from 1974! Triumvirat's Illusions On A Double Dimple
http://youtu.be/RCoIWItQ0Xs (http://youtu.be/RCoIWItQ0Xs)
One of the albums in rotation on my B&O Beogram that summer, along with ELP'S Brain Salad Surgery, and Yes' Close To The Edge.
I think J?rgen Fritz was as amazing a keyboardist as Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman, with similar classical and rock influences.
Chris Squire and Yes, live 2014 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDM90ZO94VE). These guys play these songs so well; and these are songs I've always loved.
Good sound quality, and good video; however, the youtube vid is a little out of sync (would be nice to have the DVD). Still, it's a great document to Chris Squire, and to Yes; and an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.
Dave, I only skimmed that . . . Bookmarked it for when I have more time.
That was great, absolutely loved the energy from Chris. Goosebumps inducing performances throughout.
Loved seeing Chris on the triple neck on Awaken.
That the audio and video were out of sync was disconcerting; but it was still very enjoyable.
I was more uncomfortable with Steve Howe; to me his execution of his parts fell short. His approach was proper, just that his fingers weren't doing what his brain asked. . . . I've been there.
Nice one Dave. I watched about half yesterday, and will catch the rest tonight. Playing with a pick completely bum-fuzzles me... and Chris Squire does it masterfully. I should spend time on that.
Been under the weather (or something) since Thursday. I finally felt like playing again by yesterday evening, and went through Alison Krauss & Union Station's Lonely Runs Both Ways album. The lead-off track Gravity always hits home with me... Alison has always had a way of picking songs that mirror the life of a musician. Here's a live cut from Austin City Limits:
http://youtu.be/DXWE8Td_Fzo (http://youtu.be/DXWE8Td_Fzo)
Robert Fripp.North Star from the album Exposure.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeRJQ8T4r98 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeRJQ8T4r98)
I think the great Tony Levin plays on all tracks on this album and Daryl Hall is the vocalist on this particular track.
That was nice Dave; hadn't heard that one before.
Playing like everyone else wasn't difficult enough for Fripp, so he invented New Standard Tuning
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_standard_tuning (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_standard_tuning)
The guitar's strings are assigned the notes C2-G2-D3-A3-E4-G4 (from lowest to highest); the five lowest open strings are each tuned to an interval of a perfect fifth {(C,G),(G,D),(D,A),(A,E)}; the two highest strings are a minor third apart (E,G).
It presents particular issues for bass;
http://www.talkbass.com/threads/fripp-tuning.914734/ (http://www.talkbass.com/threads/fripp-tuning.914734/)
My favorite comment:
Use the thickest taper-core low B you can find. I use a Sadowsky black label flat at 0.130T for this tuning (and while it's cool you call it Fripp tuning, violincellos have been tuned like this for over 300 years, so let's not give Fripp credit for everything!).
TI jazz flats have a 0.136, but it's not a taper-core if I recall correctly. The taper core will seat the string lower in the saddle and hopefully will solve your problem (you're still a bit sharp, correct?).
I'll try it, as soon as I get the hang of (B)EADG tuning. It should only take another lifetime or two. Let me know how it works out for you.
Muleskinner, (with the late, great Bill Keith and Clarence White on banjo and guitar, respectively) one of the quintessential moments for bluegrass music, caught on film very much by chance. I believe it was a key turning point in our music, when the second generation of players began to take up the torch.

Preston Reed was another pioneer of the acoustic guitar as percussion instrument style made popular by Michael Hedges and Tommy Emmanuel. This ain't about that, but here's an example of what I mean, for comparative purposes:
Slap Funk by Preston Reed: http://youtu.be/WI29XhoejBE (http://youtu.be/WI29XhoejBE)
The song I want to turn you on to is his Overture: For Lily because it's a great composition with a great story, that I got from Preston Reed himself. He brought a guitar with him to the waiting room in the maternity ward for the birth of his daughter, Lily. It's all there in musical form; the tension, impatience, fear ... and the moment when she opened her eyes and looked into his.
http://youtu.be/WI29XhoejBE (http://youtu.be/WI29XhoejBE)
I dislike watching the video, because I fell in love with the tremendous emotions of the song from listening to the CD, and the intro is so simple and evocative of time dragging by. That doesn't come across nearly as well when watching him play it. Hell, I didn't even KNOW there was a video until ten minutes ago, ha ha.
Do yourself a favor and get his (remastered) album Metal.
http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Preston-Reed/dp/B0007ZT2MA (http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Preston-Reed/dp/B0007ZT2MA)
It's been one of my favorite road music CDs for twenty years. (Martin Simpson had arranged a collaboration between Michael Hedges and Preston Reed that was partially recorded at the time of Michael Hedges' tragic passing. None of the music has ever been released. Anybody got connections? I'd love to hear that.)
Rob; the Peanuts/Sugar Magnolia video was cute. Here's the direct Youtube link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSxzA1y-zWg).
Thanks, Dave, I'm sure Vince Guaraldi and Charles Schulz would approve!
That particular section of Sugar Magnolia is a good one too; the band is locked in.
And I just looked it up; 9/22/91, Boston Garden (https://archive.org/details/gd91-09-22.sbd.fishman.17180.sbeok.shnf), with Bruce Hornsby on piano.
I didn't realise (until after we'd visited Alembic and come back home) that there's a Charles M Schultz museum just up the road from Alembic in Santa Rosa. We'd have visited if I'd have known as I was a huge peanuts fan I the 70's. Still have all the books.

And now for a shot at the most unusual What are you listening to now...A Greek-Russian (whose parents were exiled here by Stalin in the 1940s) playing Bob Dylan in a 10 x 10 room/house in Ungud Siberia.
And yes, it was a live performance during which I was surrounded by 8 Russians including a lieutenant in the Red Army (only one of whom spoke more than a few words of English) who went through 7 bottles of Vodka in about 4 hours. It actually wasn't a bad impression of Bob Dylan at all.
Where is Ungud? I'm having trouble finding it on a map.
That's pretty unusual Brian!
Some days I think, yeah, I'd like to be exiled to Siberia, with a case of vodka. Today would be one of those. =( I seriously have something very unpleasant to do tonight... it's kinda' got me in a mood.
Been listening to Boston all day in the office. Another blast from the back half of my high school days.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I18pVZVUbVE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I18pVZVUbVE)
Dave:
I'm not surprised you were unable to find Ungud on a map. It is a small village of about 800 people located about 2.5 hours north of Krasnoyarsk. You get off the main (i.e., partially paved) road and then drive for about 70 km on unpaved heavily rutted roads during which the only vehicles you see are Ukrainian made jeeps and what appear to be Russian Army jeeps of WWII vintage. There are actually two additional villages on the road further off the main road than Ungud the last of which is known as the end of civilization by the locals.
The villages are located in what is referred to as the Russian Taiga (evergreen woods that are so thick that they really can't be entered). All of the villages in the area were settled by people exiled to Siberia in the Stalin area for one reason or another. Interestingly, like many parts of rural Vermont, New Hampshire, Colorado, etc. the area is becoming a bit gentrified as people from the city of Krasnoyarsk, almost all of whom live in apartments, are buying the old log cabins ripping them down and building vacation cabins.
The locals still get their water from the river, have outhouses, and burn wood to stay warm in the winter. I'd say that the average age of villages is probably in the 70s (or older).
We are working with Krasnoyarsk State University at supporting the inclusion of children with disabilities in the schools and were in Ingud to talk with the educators at the village school which serves 3 villages and 60 kids K-12. They refuse to label kids as having disabilities because the gov't will then require them to hire special education teachers so they prefer to take care of their own so to speak.
The people are wonderful and make the best of what they have in an area where there is snow on the ground from late October until late May (great cross country ski country). Spent an amazing two days there connecting with people whose language I can't even come close to understanding but was able to connect with through our mutual love of music.
That sounds beautiful, both the location and the work you're doing.

After a vivid dream of a lost love (one of our dogs), I awoke to see a bright star peering through our window. Seeing the star with out my corrective lenses is a feat in itself. . . I couldn't sleep as the dream had me rattled. Got my glasses and realized it was Sirius (Dog Star) peeking in at me, as I tumbled about trying to get back to sleep the Canis Major constellation star drifted out of the windows view . . . it occurred to me that when Sirius was first visible through the window is when I had the dream of our dog.
This got me obsessed with Sirius and through Wiki got me to Gojira - From Mars to Sirius.

One of my kids gave me a coffee table book called Nashville Portraits, a collection of pictures by Jim McGuire. The caption for a shot of the following-named gentlemen was captioned with a quote by someone whose name escapes me right now:
If there was a just God overseeing the world of country music, Joe Ely, Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt and Guy Clark would be selling out concert halls and arenas, and Toby Keith would be selling used stereos out of the back of his pickup truck.

And you were correct, Gregory. Johnny's is just of the 25,798,290.07 covers of it - most of which are good (hey, it's a classic for a reason), but none of which can touch Hank's. Not even Amy's.

My first song was Yesterday. I learned the melody on my brother's Hofner bass.

My first two (I can't remember which came first) were I Feel Free and Questions 67 & 68 (played in a horn band in high school and college that did a lot of Chicago).
Going Down The Road Feeling Bad, I know You Rider, and/or my friend Eric Nicholson's Captain America; learned them at the same time (I have vague memories of CA being first, but it was in the same day).
Peter
All Along The Watchtower, ca. 1973
When I got my first bass as a birthday gift in 1965 I learned how to play the entire first Byrds LP so I guess Mr. Tambourine Man was the first but I can't be sure.
I have better memory of the first song I learned to play in a band. I was the only person in the eighth grade who even had a bass so I was asked to play with some friends for the Jr. High talent show. When we gathered to rehearse they wanted to learn Twist and Shout. We put on the record to learn it and they were impressed that after one listen I had picked up the intro line. We rehearsed the same tune over and over until we got thrown out of the drummer's house by his parents. The next day was the audition for the talent show and we passed. We were also offered a gig at a dance, little did they know we only knew one song at that point. We ended up winning the talent show and pulling together enough material to play the gig. Rock music was still pretty simple in 1966...

Whoops; sorry folks. I've been focused on some non-music things and have slacked off on my practicing and listening. But I'm back to practicing every day, and spent a good bit of time a few nights ago listening to Chopin.
Brian; thanks for that wonderful account of Ungud! I did find Krasnoyarsk on the map.
I've probably posted this one before, but here's a wonderful performance of my favorite Chopin piece, Fantasie Impromptu (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-HosIOod_A), played by Valentina Igoshina. It's just an amazing piece of music.
I have some catching up to do.
Peter, I just watched the Strength In Numbers video (well, I did skip through the vintage static). That was wonderful! The duet between Bela Fleck and Edgar Myer was pretty special; the things that Myer can do on bass are amazing. But the whole concert was wonderful. Great band! Thanks for that!
Peter; I kinda disagree. Let Me Sing Your Blues Away has a pretty cool chord progression and movement. Here it is by Jazz Is Dead (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llY-RYmr6W4); listening to this makes me think it would be really fun to play.
However, the Dead apparently only played it live six or seven times; so I'm guessing they weren't all that taken with it either.
I really like Let Me Sing Your Blues Away but unfortunately have only gotten to play it live once. Agree about the chord progression. I don't think the Dead played it much because Keith sang lead, it requires all the vocal harmony parts to sound good and there is a horn solo on the recording. To my ears there is really something special about Wake of the Flood and fall of 73 GD in general.
Absolutely loving the new Terry Adams CD Talk Thelonious which as the title implies is Terry's arrangements of classic Thelonious Monk songs performed by NRBQ plus assorted guests. Some of the most unique, heartfelt and successful interpretations of Monk tunes ever recorded. Who else would have ever thought to have pedal steel on Straight No Chaser? Superb record and recording most of it performed live.

John; that's a very nice, and very different, arrangement of Safety Dance. Had never heard of the band.
The first song I ever learned to play was actually two old folk songs: Deep Blue Sea and Oh Mary, Don't you Weep. The first cool song I learned was Mr. Tambourine Man. I was 11 or 12 in summer camp. A counselor taught the song to me and one of my bunk mates. The two of us stayed up to the wee hours of the morning playing it over and over and over again.
As for bad Dead tunes, IMHO, Money, Money, France, and Antwerp's Placebo can give Let Me Sing Your Blues Away some serious competition.
Bill, tgo
Just watched the Little Feat concert that Ed Z linked. Great band! And it's great to see them essentially playing Waiting For Columbus.
I got confused there for a moment; I thought Wolf was saying that the first song he learned to play was Mozart's Sonata for violin and piano in G major.
My vague recollection of a first song is Pipeline, in 1964. Very vague recollection.
Smoke On The Water.
Got my first bass for Christmas when I was 15; my grandfather was there - he was a well rounded musician, huge Eubie Blake fan he would drive my grandmother nuts banging out ragtime songs. He also played ukulele and harmonica. I unwrapped the bass, fumbled around and found the notes for Smoke. I think he was pleased.
I now am the caretaker of his old upright piano, cigarette burn on the bench. I need to learn how to play some ragtime on it in his honor . . .
Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun was always good for extended jams as a teen.
...Love me some good phrygian ;)
Dave: My argument with LMSYBA is the singing &, especially, the lyrics. You're right on the Jazz is Dead version; very nice.
Bill: OK, point taken. Those do, indeed, drink through a straw with great force.
It being Saturday, I spent my workday with NPR; Car Talk, Wait Wait, This American Life, 2 local shows (Sound Opinions, with the rock critics from the Tribune & Sun-Times [bozos both] and Saturday Blues). When I got home, for Her sake (not that I minded) the James Taylor channel on Pandora.
Now I think I'll ease myself to sleep with a little Paul Horn Inside The Taj Majal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6htffFlnTI0)

Dave my friend , I am paying atention ! I only wish that I had that kind of talent at the age of eight ! Most likely on the piano at eight I was playing just scales . The scales however were building blocks for my future musical evolution ! The ultimate publication of the such would be the Thesaurus of Scales And Melodic Patterns By Nicolas Slonimsky This was publication that John Coltrane and JACO used and learned to jam better with. _ I love scales & modes ! It is Jam band material ______ ... ... ... ...

She is amazing indeed; and the band in the video was tight. And the non-traditional stuff was really nice. It's great that you're going to get to see her.

He really was something with a guitar. Truly one of the most gifted musicians I ever knew.

Michael
New Orleans
Actually Michael, I was born and raised in Beaumont, just across the Louisiana line on Interstate 10. Spent a lot of time in that Houston to Lafayette strip, the heart of Acadiana.
So, part of me is Rockin' Dopsie, the Meters and the Wild Tchipitoulas, Wayne Toups, the Nevilles, and I have been to Floyd's Record Shop in Ville Platte. I actually make Mufalettas here in Nashville when I can find a bread that's close. Three of my favorite cookbooks are the three volumes of TALK ABOUT GOOD!, published by the Junior League of Lafayette, full of Cajun family recipes from regular folks.
My mother's family emigrated through New Orleans from Sicily around the turn of the (19th) century: One of my great-grandfather's best friends was Mr. Monteleone, who owned the hotel in the quarter for years. There's lots Italians and Sicilians in along the Gulf Coast, including the Mandola family who started the CARABBA's restaurant chain, whose food tastes a lot like my family's, since we all came from the same end of Italy.
'Nawhlins was always a little much for me, I was never quite that wild, but what a music town. I was more into the Cajuns, and it will be a regret that I never got to live in Lafayette or Church Point or New Iberia. I love the food, the people, and it's one of the few places where if you're a musician, the average person honors that, as they love a good party. I'm really at home there, and I miss going back from time to time. There's a part of me in those moss-draped oaks and those little bayous.
Growing up playing in East Texas and South Louisiana, you had to be able to play a little of everything, so I had to have very sympathetic ears. It was nothing on a gig to play Texas Swing, Texas Blues, some Domino and Dr. John, some Cajun waltzes and those fast things in 2/4, then some current R&B or white rock and roll, with a dose of George Jones and Elvis. Never dull, and you had to have a large catalog in the back of your head. And then too, in those late 60's and early 70's there were still the big white R+B bands like the legendary Boogie Kings, GG Shin and the Rollercoaster, and Edgar's White Trash band.
Sonnier's 90mph-fastball take on Richard Thompson's 'TSL' is my go-to when I need a jump start, and instantly puts me back in those days and hearing lots of music like that, and what a hoot it was.
So I got to admit, as much as I like living in Nashville, alongside of the above . . . . . it can be quite stilted and boring !

Enjoying the Beat Club video; thanks, Rob!
Just finished watching; and that was indeed good, and The Other One was great. Thanks again!
For the record, I met Edgar Meyer a couple times... I'm convinced both he, and Stanley Clarke are an alien experiment... they dropped those guys off in Roswell N.M. back in the 50's to usher in the bass age, but the Eisenhower Administration got the translation wrong and thought they meant space age. Area 51 was supposed to be a concert hall all this time instead of a secret... oh nevermind.
I really have enjoyed these clips... even more than three days of binge-watching six seasons worth of X-Files. God how I miss Agent Scully. =)
Crystal Silence (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnlAPR_ixo4). This song has long been one of my favorites; and though not the one mentioned above by Brian, this is a wonderful performance. Thanks for the reminder, Brian!
Snapping back to reality, 41 years ago this past weekend, (New Year's Eve actually) Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac.
This concert from 1975 must be one of their first few appearances with the band. I still love to hear them do World Turning, especially with Christine back in the band. In between Mick's infamous solo drum solo, watch for John's old Series I here... hard to think it was only a couple years old then.

Utopia (1974)
http://youtu.be/SSVxGRo9tBU (http://youtu.be/SSVxGRo9tBU)
Beethoven fans: There is a musical work of staggering genius hidden in this album, from the collaboration between Todd Rundgren and Moogy Klingman (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moogy_Klingman) (Jimi Hendrix, Lou Reed, Allman Bros., Warren Hayes etc.).
It's called The Ikon, and it starts at 28:52 (it was the B side of the album.) The form is based on Beethoven's Fifth Symphony (note the similarity between the opening riff and the famous four-note intro to the Fifth). It also references Rhapsody In Blue, West Side Story and according to Todd Rundgren; Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.
Each movement has a separate theme featuring a particular instrument - everything from balls-to-the-wall blistering guitar (Todd plays the same Gibson SG that Clapton used on Cream's Disraeli Gears) to pastoral piano interludes, to happy Mariachi craziness - and as with Beethoven, each theme/instrument is layered one-by-one in the spectacular finale (in my opinion, the true genius of the piece is in how well those themes go together in a completely unexpected way, leading up to the best ending in rock music history).
Bear in mind that the track features three wildly disparate keyboardists: Moogy, Ralph Schuckett (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Schuckett) and M. Frog LaBat, on early monophonic synths and keys (Moogy alone played; Fender Rhodes, Minimoog, Univox Mini-Korg, a Hammond L-100 organ, Sound City Piano, an RMI Keyboard Computer and Rock-Si-Chord, a Clavinet, and a Yamaha Grand. (http://www.keyboardmag.com/artists/1236/moogy-klingman-on-fighting-cancer-with-music/28464)
The track was recorded live in the studio, with no overdubs.
Enjoy.
That album was my introduction to Rundgren. It's killer. Thanks for posting and bringing it back to my ears this morning!
John
The Ikon was epic; my shallow Rundgren history included his radio hits, Onomatapoiea, and the fact that when I had long hair someone told me I looked like him . . . :-/
Didn't pick up on any Herb Alpert passages. Heard bits that Made me think of Peaches En Regalia and Welcome Back My Friends

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LvQFMW9-sg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LvQFMW9-sg)
Robin and Linda Williams are kinda' homefolks around here, and this tune is set in a little, nearly forgotten town about an hour North of Roanoke, Virginia. The town is nestled in an odd canyon-like bowl in the Blue Ridge Mountains, with the small Glen Maury river running through it. It's incredibly scenic from every direction, and there's a music festival that happens there every June I always look forward to.

Gotta see them live - especially at the Luxor in Las Vegas. There's no way to describe it, except to say that I was picking pieces of my brains out of my cereal for weeks afterward.
That pile of plumbing is an instrument they invented called a tubulum. (Note the grand piano as a percussion instrument.)
A piano is by definition a percussion instrument, with the hammers hitting the strings.
I meant the lid-less grand piano lying on its side on stage left with the strings exposed, which the blue man whacks with a hammer the size of a tympani, that looks like something out of a Tom 'n Jerry cartoon.
In fact, since it lacks piano hammers and he's hitting the strings, he is the hammer! (I wonder if the piano is difficult to keep it in tune?)
I'm not sure it's clear in the video, because we've seen BMG so many times, but here's the DVD of that concert. (http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Man-Group-Complex-Rock/dp/B0000DBJ9P) Everybody should see it at least once, because it's actually a hilarious parody of rock concerts.

What else for today?
8th of January, as played by Tony Rice, as heard by Clarence White, and played on (what's left of) his old Martin D-28 no less.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfjEdukk2kI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfjEdukk2kI)
Poor old Tony's in rough shape these days, but man what an influential guy he's been.
The track was recorded live in the studio, with no overdubs.
I'm listening now, and I'm wondering if the vocals are all one take as well. I suppose he could be using a harmonizer to get some of the vocal harmonies, and perhaps some of the other vocal sounds could be vocal patches on the keyboards.
I did hear the Herb Alpert reference, or what I think was it. And I felt a very strong Return to Forever influence; and as well, Emerson Lake & Palmer. Interestingly, Welcome Back My Friends was released around two months before Utopia; so it seems at least somewhat less than likely that Todd would have heard it prior to the recording date of this piece.
the best ending in rock music history
Such things are of course quite subjective, and depend significantly on one's own personal history. Personally, I don't think this one comes close to, for instance, just off the top of my head, And You And I (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sArhKK7lss); but that's just me.

That's Alright Mama (https://youtu.be/McaemUBvGaA?t=1m48s%20target=_blank)
quote:I'm wondering if the vocals are all one take as well. I suppose he could be using a harmonizer to get some of the vocal harmonies, and perhaps some of the other vocal sounds could be vocal patches on the keyboards.
I listened to it again, and I see (actually, hear) what you mean. Considering the album came out forty years ago (whoosh! what was that? Your life, son! Holy cow, that was quick!) details are sketchy.
The liner notes say the album was recorded live at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, Georgia April 25th, 1974, but I remember an Interview with Todd at the time (Creem magazine, I think) where he said something about doing it live in the studio, in one take. Might have been one of the other songs (or the drugs )
There were no harmonizers in 1974 (that I know of, anyway). Synths could only play one note at a time. The Polymoog and E-mu polyphonic synths were still years off (especially the legendary Prophet 5 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequential_Circuits_Prophet-5)), so my guess is Todd used a Mellotron (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mellotron)
Mellotrons used tape loops (kinda like an Echoplex, with separate loops for each keyboard key) and could be set up with three voices, usually strings, horns and woodwinds (Strawberry Fields Forever, Nights In White Satin, Stairway To Heaven, etc.), but Rick Wakeman and the Moody Blues also opted for a vocal set, for that Mormon Tabernacle Choir vibe.
I turned up this interesting paragraph in a Rolling Stone bio of Todd (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/todd-rundgren)
quote:By 1972 Rundgren had taken over production of Badfinger's Straight Up LP from George Harrison (who was involved with his Bangladesh concerts) and had engineered the Band's Stage Fright and Jesse Winchester's self-titled 1971 LP, as well as produced records by the Hello People, bluesman James Cotton, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, and Half-nelson (who later became Sparks). In 1973 he would produce the New York Dolls' debut LP, Grand Funk Railroad's We're an American Band, and Fanny's Mother's Pride.
Busy boy, huh? It was three years before he produced Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell, a fact that I didn't know until just now, while looking up this stuff. (The things I do for you people.)
Note this interesting tidbit (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_Out_of_Hell):
quote:Recording started in late 1975 in Bearsville Studios, Woodstock, New York. Roy Bittan and Max Weinberg, the pianist and drummer from Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band played on the album, in addition to members of Rundgren's group Utopia: Kasim Sulton, Roger Powell and John Willie Wilcox. Edgar Winter played the saxophone on All Revved Up. Rundgren himself played guitar, including the motorcycle solo on Bat Out of Hell.
So I wouldn't be shocked if Todd sweetened things a little.

(Message edited by sonicus on January 20, 2016)
Wolf and I are in mind-meld... I was just listening to a Dire Straits compilation last night, as I'm revisiting the bass style of John Illsley, another one of those no-flash, but dead-on doin' the job kind of bass players. I really admire that quality, maybe because of my bluegrass/oldtyme roots.
Here's another of my all-time favorites from them... Romeo & Juliet Live from London, with the full symphonic intro.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7GJgncybV8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7GJgncybV8)
Gregory , I liked that ; Romeo & Juliet Live from London, with the full symphonic intro. Dire Straits live is always so enjoyable for me from so many aspects . The thing besides wonderfully mastery of their instruments that always makes me want more of them is the level of communication going on in the moment . As with the Dead as with a bunch of players that are really all on the same wave length of non -verbal MIND -MELD , in the moment , YES ! That when that is developed it is priceless . When that happens there is a special aspect that is irreplaceable with anything else.
Wolf
Nice!
The first Dire Straits album blasted into disco like a cannon, reminding everybody what a guitar can do, and Making Movies was, IMHO, their peak - and R&J may well be Mark's best song. That is a wnderful version!
Peter
p.s. - for anyone who was around the Chicago scene late '70s-early '80s; I never noticed until this vid, but does John not look like the lovechild of Tom Dundee & Pete Special??)
Well, crap. I'm now officially stuck at work. Here in Virginia, or really the entire eastern U.S., there's an indeterminate amount of snow coming in the next 36 hours. I made it in to work before the deluge started, but looks like most either couldn't or bailed. Ordinarily I wouldn't care... just goes with the gig when you run the City's water plant, but man I sure wish I'd brought a guitar or something to play.
In the spirit of trying to enjoy the majestic Winter spectacle, heeeere's Gordon!

I saw him a couple years ago, and it was quite the show. Guy play two solid hours, and that was shortly after he'd practically come back from the dead. Incredible performer. And think about this - Rick Haynes (bassist) has had that gig since 1969, the year I was born. Dang.
Any of you that are in this storm's path - stay in if you can. Stay safe if you have to go out. Avoid the weather channel hysterics, 'cause it's just a freakin' snowstorm for pity's sake. Play a tune for me.

How could I possibly have never seen either of those Joey?! That's great stuff. Down here, we never, ever take the name of Chet in vain.
Day one, shift two. I'm at our BIG water plant until midnight, then back to mine on the other side of town, crash out for a few hours, then I'll get up and try to taxi some of our guys in to work tomorrow. So far - there's 8 inches of New Hampshire Cocaine, Connecticut Confetti, New England Clam Powder... whatever you wanna' call this mess.
I have a small confession to make. When it became obvious I was going to be here a couple or three days, I went home and got a bass and my practice amp. And just in case the power grid craps out, I grabbed my old Gibson A-model mandolin. I'm set, bring it on. =)
Here's another Mark Knopfler tune Marbletown... pretty sure this is Glenn Worf on bass. http://youtu.be/rvk5D1iI2LA (http://youtu.be/rvk5D1iI2LA)
Joey , two great vids , thanks ! I remember when Mark King with Level 42 toured with Tina as an opening act for her in the 80's . She was spectacular . Her performances were outreaching to the concert goers as she made a point to make direct eye contact with as many folks as she could . It was an endearing experience as she looked right in to your eyes and sang just for you just in that moment. Mark King was as awesome as ever at those shows as well !

I'm not a Motorhead fan or anything like that. Don't know much of they music except Ace Of Spades. It was a good documentary and half way through I realised I'd seen it before but it was worth seeing again. :-)
I ass-u-me it is the one where he was asked what his most precious possession was in his apartment. And without missing a beat he says 'my son, Paul'.
You gotta love a man that has his priorities straight.
Yep that's the one.

@davehouck - Marbletown again, as played by some local folks... (well, local to us anyway) =)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFCFUzO-EUw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFCFUzO-EUw)
I love how they took Knopfler's little bluesy hook and made it a more central theme to the tune. This is the best sounding carbon fiber guitar I ever heard. (ordinarily, Tim plays a 1934 Martin D-18... I've played it, and yes it's awesome!)
Folks, I'm officially sick of shoveling snow. Thankfully, we were spared the brunt of the storm here, only ended up with a foot, give or take a couple inches depending on where in the region you are. Also helpful, with exception for one of the City snowplows taking out a fire hydrant Friday night, it's been relatively uneventful from a standpoint of keeping the water plants all up and running and keeping water in the pipes.
Nice! I saw there was another video up of a bluegrass band doing Marbletown. Is that tune in the bluegrass book? Come to think of it, does bluegrass even have a book?
No, not in the book per se.
Yes, there are a couple books, but Blue Highway chose instead to write their own book. Those guys have been together for over 20 years now, having formed in 1994. I saw their very first show together at the Down Home in Johnson City, Tennessee, as the band I was playing with back then was HQ'd in nearby Jonesboro. We all knew each other, as the bluegrass community is so comparatively small.
Tim Stafford (guitar player) built that band from the ground up after leaving Alison Krauss & Union Station, a tough gig to walk away from even then, as the Grammys had just started rolling in. They quickly established themselves as a one of the very few bluegrass acts to go mainstream. (meaning they actually make a living playing full-time)
It's a little unusual for them to do a cover song like Marbletown though, as they are best known for doing all original songs from within the band. Tim is quite the student of music though (as well as a professor at East Tennessee State University) so it's not surprising he's well-versed in the music of Mark Knopfler. For whatever reason though, they made Marbletown the title cut of an album, next thing anybody knew, a bunch of other regional bands were covering Blue Highway, covering Mark Knopfler. The whole thing hit me funny.
Tim's also quite a natural comedian... one of his favorite go-to gags on stage is an impression of Ralph Stanley. First time I heard this laughed til my guts hurt, it's just so spot-on.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xCnqWCPWCs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xCnqWCPWCs)
Ah; I didn't realize that was Tim Stafford.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmt1Is8RteI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmt1Is8RteI)
OK, I was just on Youtube and stumbled on something that scared me badly.
I won't post a link out of simple human decency, but - is there anything wronger than Judas Priest doing Diamonds and Rust?????
That is BAD!!
Peter
Maybe the worst is that I knew JP's version first, when I was about 9 years old (Listened to their Unleashed in the East - Live in Japan album back in 1981, along with British Steel, on a single sit). But then, there's one in every crowd... :P
Let me take you back one further Dave... I got to see this evolution happen in real time.
Before they were members of the AKUS video you posted, Tim Stafford, Barry Bales, and Adam Steffey were the core members of this band called Dusty Miller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz15zYz6m2c (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz15zYz6m2c)
(a very young) Alison met them between band members coming and going, and they just clicked. The only one who remains in Union Station today is Barry Bales on bass. Tim went on to start Blue Highway, and these days Adam Steffey plays with another decorated band called The Boxcars.
It really is a very small musical community... fun to reminisce about those days. We were all coming of age at about the same time in East Tennessee... man, I was having a ball, fresh out of high school, running up and down the highways every weekend playing bass. Fun times! =)

It's a Composite Acoustics Legacy guitar. (http://www.compositeacoustics.com/index.cfm/guitars) They're made in Peavey's old factory in Mississippi, by the way.
I prefer Rainsong guitars (http://www.rainsong.com), because I own one. I bought a WS1000 from John Decker when they were still made in Hawaii. It's strictly an apples vs. oranges deal, though. Your mileage may vary. Viewer discretion advised. (What the heck does that mean, anyway? Don't tell anybody?) There are lots of comparison videos on YouTube, knock yourself out.
Rainsongs don't have braces. CAs use Martin X-bracing. Rainsong offers four different composites (including fiberglass/carbon fiber) (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/rainsong#pageName=brand-page&N=201708&Nao=0&recsPerPage=40&v=g&Ns=pHL&profileCountryCode=US&profileCurrencyCode=USD) in five (6?) body shapes and sizes.
The closest to Marbletown's guitarist's would probably be the CO-DR1000 Dreadnaught (http://www.rainsong.com/concert/series.html) (the N2 designation indicates a truss rod and slightly beefier neck).
There are quite a few companies making carbon fiber guitars (http://www.guitarsite.com/carbon-fiber-guitar/) (note the date of that article) mainly because they're so much easier to make than wood guitars. Some vacuum molds, an oven, line up some suppliers and watch the money roll in. In fact, lots of people are making their own. (http://www.wired.com/2013/03/making-a-carbon-fiber-guitar/)
Whatever you do, don't buy a guitar made with *sodium hydroxide.
* That would be a base guitar.
Thanks Gregory; I was wondering how Union Station came about.
Tonight it's a little Quintette du Hot Club de France (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6jwvS0mHwo&list=RD9CDoJFmdFgA&index=2) in honor of St?phane Grappelli's 108th birthday.
Peter (Who maintains that the contemporary guitarist with the most overt Django influence is Willie Nelson)
* That would be a base guitar.
Which is often found in ensembles with a strumpet & a French whorn.......

Yesterday I had a young lady in my cab who turned out to be a pianist, vocalist, and activist who was in town for a sex-trafficking seminar. As I tend to do with musician passengers, we chatted, and at the station she gave me her CD; today I listened to it.

I've been recording some original tracks with these two fellas and another of their buddies who is a *killer* drummer. Although the first couple hours in the studio was strictly a seat-of-th'-pants affair that really didn't produce more than just a couple use-able rhythm tracks, the whole thing quickly began to gel into the beginnings of a band. Here's Jake Crawford & Ethan Power doing a cover:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19IVmxdQgoI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19IVmxdQgoI)
Obviously if it takes off, for appearances sake, if not logistics, they'll need to find a bass player closer to their age, but I'm absolutely having a blast playing with these young-uns for now. The back-story here is actually, I used to run the roads playing music with Ethan's Dad (Ernie Power) back about 25 years ago, before he was even born, and we've been buds ever since. So that's how they found this old guy to sit in on bass. =)
Dug out Yellow Brick Road for the first time in a long while; with the month we just had, Funeral For A Friend just seemed like the right thing.
Peter
Jake and Ethan are great!
What fun! : )
Fleetwood Mac releases Rumours 39 years ago today. This tune is probably the least known on the album, but?it was one of my favorites to hear at the skating rink. I don't roller-skate anymore (or play with bumble-bees) but I do especially like the back-beat bass line McVie played on this one.
http://youtu.be/Vq8ka5gTFaI (http://youtu.be/Vq8ka5gTFaI)
Interesting trivia, I Don't Want to Know replaced Silver Spring on the original release of the album. The reason being, long-play records could only fit so many minutes of music, there simply wasn't room. Silver Spring went on to become a B-side hit.?

Dee Murray is the guy and I found out that he had played with Bob Weir for awhile.
Levon Helm and his band doing Tennessee Jed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZaU3VtMfoM).
Nice one Dave! I'm fascinated by anyone who can sing lead and play drums, but I guess if one were coordinated enough to play drums, just adding a vocal line on top of using both hands and feet to keep time, probably not a big deal.
I've been looking around for stuff to play to help me sharpen up for this alternative country gig... (I really don't like genre' labels)
The guys are covering the Lowell George tune Willin, so one search led to another until I landed on Linda Ronstadt doing it in the mid-70's. It was always one of my very favorites, so I've borrowed a couple textures from Kenny Edwards' lines here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMP8JsV7wbg
This was a really good band for her. Or really anybody.

John Hammond's So Many Roads. A little known blues album from 1965. The backing band was a group of mostly up and coming, but then unknown, players.
Charlie Musselwhite - harmonica
Robbie Robertson - guitar
Levon Helm - drums
Michael Bloomfield - piano (yes, piano!)
Jimmy Lewis - bass
Garth Hudson - Hammond organ (would you expect Hammond to allow a Farfisa in his band? lol).
Bill, tgo
Surprised Garth wasn't playing his usual Lowrey
EofH, for a different take on Willin', check out Seatrain! Great players and singers in that band.
I'm fascinated by anyone who can sing lead and play drums....
The only time a drummer should ever sing is when he's Levon Helm. - Pete Townshend

Kenny the Drummer in my Band Easy Wind can play and sing at the same time as well !

Loved the Seatrain take on Willin'... I had almost forgotten about them. Here's former Seatrain drummer Larry Atamanuik with AKUS a few years ago. Lotta' folks (particularly 'round here) don't care for drums with bluegrass instrumentation, but this is a fine example of how it can work brilliantly when done tastefully and not over-played.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR5XOGY8Skk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR5XOGY8Skk)
Tricky, but super-fun little tune to jam on, IIRC, it was actually written to be used as bumper music for the IBMA Awards Show one year... like maybe '90 or '91. Here's an earlier version of it with a couple of Alison's mentors and eventual band members. Also unusual to see Mark O'Connor on guitar.

One of the few regrets I have in life is that I didn't take up cello sooner than age 32... by which time there were no teachers willing to waste time on adult students, regardless of ability. Anyway, I just couldn't get the crazy idea out of my head, so I bought a beautiful old Johann St?ber (Dutch) cello in pieces and restored it to playing condition. This simple melody is one of the first, and remains one of the few (recognizable) things I can play on it.
http://youtu.be/Jmj6NR4ltKo (http://youtu.be/Jmj6NR4ltKo)
I love that tune. I tried to work it up several years ago with a descending bass line similar to the one in the climatic verse in this version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDRWdNn_nLk) (which is itself a wonderful arrangement of Simple Gifts setting up a beautiful pastoral movement of chords), but didn't come up with anything worth keeping. I still would like to work up an arrangement of it at some point.

Strange coincidence... (may, or may not have anything to do with your post) I just posted on another forum a minute ago about the utter disregard for grammar. I guess it's the same as it ever was, just adjusted for inflation. Nowadays instead of sloppy penmanship, it's smartphone and computer lingo, and you still have to decipher what someone meant.
Not that diagramming a sentence ever *directly* helped in my job, but when composing an email, I take a small amount of pride in knowing none of the recipients will have trouble understanding it.
been listening to the new Dream Theater - 'The Astonishing' over the weekend. It's a double concept album set in a dystopian future where music has been outlawed. As you'd expect there's a lot of 'samey' stuff running through the whole piece with a fair bit of orchestra (and bagpipes!!) John Myung doesn't seem to get as much space to excite as he usually does but there are a handful of exceptional riffs. I believe Petrucci and Rudess pretty much wrote the whole thing so there is more than enough keys and guitar noodling. That said, so far I'm enjoying it. Will take a few listening sessions to make my mind up fully though.

I'm a sucker for military bands, and this one is just perfect, the Royal Swedish Military Band. You may recognize the tune . . . . . . of all things, the slapback from this courtyard they're performing in adds just the right touch. I love the chart with the woodwinds adding the harmonies.

The guys I'm gigging with most right now (and having a blast doing so) do a buncha' classic rock covers using a mostly bluegrass instrumentation... they sprung this one on me at a gig last weekend.

I've been listening to Isaac Hayes a lot lately. A rediscovery that's inspired me to order more titles from his backcatalogue. Hot Buttered Soul and Black Moses are works of genius in my book, and don't get me started on Shaft, sheer coolness & perfection!

I guess I saw the movie when it was in theaters in 1974. I've been meaning to watch it again; it's been a while.
Saw "The Rides" - Stephen Stills and Kenny Wayne Shepherd with Barry Goldberg on keyboards - about 2 weeks ago in a small hall. What a great couple of hours of rock 'n roll.
I watched some videos of Stills and Shepherd a year or so ago. It's an interesting combination. Here's For What It's Worth (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUJ2VcaxyOg). And yes, that's Chris Layton on drums.
Some additional Chris Thile I ran across.

And the bassist is Kevin McCormack, who was the 1st & 2nd Melissa Etheridge albums. Not a bad line-up..........
Just watched the Bach sonata; very nice. Thanks!

This is great stuff ! I am influenced by this " FULL SAIL " playing !
In the mid 1980's I had a girl friend that loved this band. She was from Manchester , England as this band is as well . She had to go home back to England as a result of an American immigration mistake ! We were both heartbroken ! One day they just grabbed her and sent her away !!!!! Governments are NOT conducive to true love !

Wolf; a week or two ago, I spent some time watching Tarja videos. If I recall correctly, this is the style that you are aiming for in your new project? And I think I recall you saying that you have a singer lined up?
Dave , yes , thanks for your interest . There is a singer and a few other possibilities of various singers . The core of this project will be the keyboard player from EASY WIND and myself . We have an interested drummer and a guitarist. There will be a wide scope of very diverse material covered from modal jazz and jazz fusion with classically influenced rock . At the moment it is a lose experiment that we expect to formally launch in the fall with a website and the such and then the pursuit of gigs and even perhaps a booking agent. The keyboard player is a music instructor in the Marin school system and seems to have many interesting friends to come and play with us until we are settled with a definite committed crew of singers and players. We play about once a week and even have some originals already and covers that we are exploring in different forms and genres of delivery . Yes , I love hearing Tarja sing ! She has the target voice from my perspective for this project.

I kind of hate to admit it, but I've been blowing my top repeatedly with this show...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uZinAmZtJg
It's fascinating to think they've had such a long career, coming up on 50 years.

How on Earth does one memorize that many turns? Perhaps more important than that, remember where all those little humps are? ('cause turning the handlebars is a very bad idea when neither wheel is contacting pavement) ;D
I'm listening to the original Polydor issue Buckingham-Nicks album while doing morning chores. http://youtu.be/UKBft-I4UdU Not sure who played bass on which track, but I'm very much appreciating it all.
Ed of H - who used to love riding bikes too, but then discovered girls... and basses.
I did it backwards: Girls (after all, it was the 70's: Post Pill / Pre AIDS!!), then basses, THEN motorsickles.
The only have to remember every 2nd or 3rd one: You get airborne off the 1st, then fly over 2 and 3 . . . . .

Actually, the TT is my in-between after Indy and before LeMans. Music-wise, well . . . . . .
Every year around this time, I sense the ordering of the planets, a subtle shift in the rhythm of Mother Earth, a vague calling once more comes forth. By now I know these signs, as now is when the Babylon Sisters shall once again escort me to my spot beneath the Banyan Trees, under the watchful eye of Bodhisattva. I wave to Hoops McCann while Walter and Donald are counting off the opening tune. THIS is how I once more know that NOW is the time of my Annual Steely Summer. Once more to strain to figure out how Chuck Rainey played this one, how Anthony Jackson played that one, and remember how sad I am that Jeff Porcaro is no longer around. This mania will run its course over the next few weeks, and then once the fever has ended, I'll take my Big Black Cow and get out of here.
TT is amazing. Frightening, awe inspiring and puckering all at the same time. No room for error when the dashed lines look solid. I wonder how many times they run the course before every turn and bump is memorized . . . .
Joey - just be sure you don't drink Scotch whiskey all night long and die behind the wheel!
But I'll never understand why they felt the need to warn us about Daddy G; I did a weekend of shows with him in '84, & thought he was great......

Work Song - Nat and Cannonball Adderly
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MmwsQ_dHrFM
Fun little tune I had to learn for some guys I'm subbing on bass with again this Summer. Some of you may recognize it...
http://youtu.be/TvzarD06Gdo
I grew up playing with fellas that were older than me, and now I've come full-circle... almost everybody I gig with is at least 10-15 years younger. They're all fun to be around, no ego trips or drama, though the front man is hyperactive to a spectacular degree. (I'm talking- the Tazmanian Devil ate a pound of jumping beans and chased them with a 6-pack of Red Bull)
Anyway, their regular bassist and his wife are welcoming a new baby, so having subbed for him before, I got the call again... having an absolute blast with these guys. (and making decent $$$ too)
That Cannonball Adderley video was great! Great band. Thanks!
Woke up thinking about this song this morning, and it reminded me of an old sweetheart who now lives in (southern) California. These folks are friends of mine from waaaay back too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMPQK4dS8Mw

Gregory, that was beautiful. Her voice, his guitar parts, their harmonies, all have a Union Station feel. Very nice!
On top of the obvious talent, they're both naturally funny people too, and maybe the most genuine folks I ever knew in the music business. Though I never played in their band, we used to end up at the same festival venues. Lot of times we'd meet up for a midnight campground jam, and eventually got to be friends. Most memorable is an easy one... in October of 1999, I was sitting alone at our record table one night after a big showcase in Louisville Kentucky. That night should have been one of the highlights of my 'career', but due to a chronic illness, an ugly divorce, and the financial ruin that came with both, I was about as low as I can remember being. Sure didn't feel like partying with the band that night. Kenny and 'Manda stopped by the table just to say hello, and I guess must have seen through the brave face I was wearing. So they sat down to keep me company awhile, then before leaving, 'Manda took one of the business cards and wrote their phone number on the back, and told me to call them sometime if I wanted to jam. I didn't tell them until years later how much that simple gesture meant.
Here's another one Fretboard Journal did that features her voice in the bluegrass equivalent of a chic-flick, and Kenny's whimsical flatpicking style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgQUyipLme4
*that old guitar Kenny's playing is a Chicago-made Regal... pretty rare anymore. He buys and restores them for use when they fly somewhere. (his 'other" guitar is a pre-war Martin D-18)
That was a nice one too!
A new find from a CL purchase. This is a really cool "Local" band, i.e., based out of Nashville. Dynamo - funky jazz. They have two albums recorded live in the studio. Going to see them this Sunday with my brother. My son wants to go but it's a 21+ club. They will be playing a few weeks later at an all ages place. Most of their stuff is instrumental and some has vocals. The one thing that I can't help comparing them to is Snarky. But they are really good with touches of their own sound. I'm sure there is some influence here.

Hah; that was pretty cool.
Sure was... bass player finally gets some notice. ;D I'd forgotten how funny Johnny Carson was too.
Carson was IT! Not only was he funnier than any who have come since, but he made the show about the guests; starting with Letterman, they've all used the guests as props for their own schtick.
And, while not in my usual range of listening, that was a killer band!
Listening to the Marcus Garvey album by burning spear.
at practice last night, there's a couple songs that end with Harry and I doing neck whammys...I did a couple more and harry and Doug started to jam a song to it...I hope it got properly captured by the recorder, it sounded cool in parts...a slow neck whammy with an Alembic and overdrive sounds like the Doppler effect of a motorcycle or something...anyway, it was cool...Tony

This one is for my neighbors just north of here in Greenbrier County of southern West Virginia. They are suffering in the aftermath of a mighty storm last week... the flash floods that came with it have literally wiped whole towns and communities off the map. You don't really think about mountain towns getting flooded, but believe me, it happens. I've seen the same kind of devastation here a couple times.
Keep your chin up folks... we're going to help you build it back.

Tony Collins, musical mentor, role model, and my best buddy... died one year ago today. Of all the music we played together, precious little of it was ever caught on tape. Here he is doing one of his favorite things - inspiring the next generation of flatpickers. I remember when he and I were about this age... in fact, I first met Tony literally 100 yards from where this video was shot, but almost 25 years ago. It was a rainy night in Galax, Virginia... a quiet little Jazz/Swing jam had started up in the middle of a Fiddler's Convention. I came along with a bass. The rest is history.

Saw Flight of the Conchords last night at the Greek Theater in LA. They were ridiculously good and funny live. Essentially 2+ hrs of laughing to the point of tears. Good times.
Prog Noir - Stick Men. Cool Crimson-y stuff.
Really surprised by this one. . . . Listening to the radio and they start playing Steve Miller Fly Like an Eagle . . . Yawn - heard this a million times.
But wait! This is a live version and they are in the groove letting time slip, and a bonus bass solo at around 10:40.
Listen, you may be surprised at the new life put into this dusty old classic.

John Scofield with Gov't Mule (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WC_sW1PFqqg). This is fun.
Greg Piccolo & Heavy Juice, Red Lights. I did monitors for Roomful of Blues a couple of nights back when Greg was their frontman, so when I saw this at a thrift store for 99¢, I figured why not?
About halfway in, I'm finding solid blues with a jazzy tinge (as expected) and one reggae-inflected number (not expected); Piccolo sings & plays alto, tenor, and a little guitar, backed by drums, keys, & bass.
Definitely well worth the expense...........

I used to work with a guy that recognized that I played a whole lot of Gov't Mule on my computer at work.
His comment was; "
You can't be a fool if you listen to the Mule!"
Someone posted this video of our Friday evening performance in the Old-Time Band competition at the Old Fiddler's Convention in Galax last week.
The band is New River Bound, and the tune is "Red Steer"... oh, and Caleb's fiddle is cross-tuned in A to play this one. It's a crooked little jig, but lots of fun to play. (as if you couldn't tell by watching us!) ;D

Eventually I'll get some video of Saturday night too. ;)
Cool video!
Very Nice Greg! Love that stuff, makes me want to go to Telluride! :)
Greg that put a smile on my face this early raining morning!
Thanks fellas. Yeah, those young folks keep me smiling too. :D
I really do enjoy their company, so getting to play music with them is a bonus. More later...
This evening I watched the movie Marley (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marley_(film)), released in 2012. I highly recommend it. And the soundtrack is ... well, of course it is.
Right after watching the movie, I went out and sat on the front steps for a while, listening to the creek and the crickets, in celebration.
I have Marley on "My List"; maybe tonight I'll watch it (oh, wait, no - tonight we're catching Johnny & The Boomers at Sycamore Brews, Blues & Ribs Fest for our 33rd anniversary; make that tomorrow).

Mark Knopfler - Local Hero, Live
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMwcGPjYAIk
(Glenn Worf on bass... MONSTER PLAYER)
Looking around for more with Glenn Worf, ran across this one with another one of my musical heroes, Tony Rice:
http://youtu.be/vV5kWkMEpqk
(replaced link)
Both links lead to Knopfler, Gregory - and I'm pretty sure (but not quite 100%) that's John Illsley on bass.
Peter (who also digs Mark & Tony)
I thought so too Coz, (and was actually hoping it was Illsley) but that "A Night in London" lists Worf as bassist. Could be a goof, they do favor each other, both physically and musically.
PS- I fixed the link to Tony Rice too... was a sip of coffee short this morning.
Nice version of Local Hero.
Jackson Browne, Running On Empty .. A bit outside of what I normally listen to, but really a just very nearly perfect album. Leland Sklar, of course, is perfect. David Lindley doesn't suck either.

Joey
Joey, that was like going to Church! ;D
I was so impressed, Paul. Those guys are at a point in their career where they can do anything they want, and pass on anything they'd like to avoid, but obviously they were interested to come play with Daryl and his hot house/touring band. And I'm always fascinated as to whether someone who's played or sung the same catalog for years and years can still 'bring it' or if they'll just phone it in, and they and Daryl's bunch obviously had a blast. Wonderful that they look and sound as good as ever, and that kind of 70's soul is still large in my background, that Philly stuff and all the rest. Daryl grew up idolizing that sort of thing, and it was a hoot that he was just like a little kid singing with them, obviously got to him. I'm sure I'd have done the same, what legends they are.
That was awesome.
Joey; that was wonderful!!!
Isn't that just a hoot, Dave? The feeling I get watching and listening to that puts me back RIGHT THERE as to why I EVER wanted to strap one on and have at it. That buzz that resonates right down to a cellular level in me when I watch something great like that is why I had to try, I was helpless to resist. A feeling no drink, drug, or anything else could ever even approach replicating. This sort of performance just makes me float across the room . . . .
Analog Music: Great singers, great songs, great players, great charts and a take-no-prisoners performance. The equation never has, nor ever will, change. This is why so much of what's out there today just doesn't move me. All this digitized, quantized, time and pitch-corrected (I just love human harmonies with no quaver at all, straight as a keyboard patch . . . . ) crap is where 'the business' is now, and I'm just an old fart cryin' in my beer about 'the old days'. Pitiful. I've lived too long . . . . . but glad you liked it.
Joey
Joey, thanks for that...I rarely listen to soul and don't have any in my cd collection, but love when I hear the good stuff; it just rules...and I agree on the pitch/time corrected stuff-why would you suck all the MUSIC out of something unless you were just so bad that you can't do it without that 'help'?
I just played a benefit last week and I could barely hear my vocals, Harry couldn't hear his guitar and Doug had to rely on cues from me to keep his drums in line; we were flying half-blind and it rocked! I could tell it was okay because I heard enough onstage but wasn't sure but everyone told me after that we killed it...the pics I've seen from the show even kill; we look like rock stars-old ones, but rock stars...anyway, I have nothing against electronic music but if you have to 'correct' something you probably need to work on something...Tony
Been listening to this whole album in the office today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f7Vsf_RKsM
This has been just about the rottenest week I've had in 27 years on the job... one of those deals where you really start to question how the heck you could have gone so wrong. Anyway, this particular music has a strange, almost primal calming effect.

Indeed it was, thanks Rob. Now I gotta go mess with DADGAD tuning. ;)
Said it before and I'll say it again:
Best thread EVER.
Mr. Young is always a joy and. strangely reminded me of Michael Hedges in that video.
Beck - besides a great musician his video oozed creative brilliance, I couldn't look away.
I was reminded of these folks recently, during an extended email rant on the influence of Doc Watson. See, waaaay back in 1999, our band and theirs was booked as opening acts at the same music festival... that might well be when my 'thing' for chic-fiddle-players started. I wonder if it might well be where their thing with Doc Watson started too, as he was one of the headliners there.

(DO NOT miss the positively magical violin solo beginning at 4:07... the intro is pretty cool too.)
We/I have to play this Frank Solivan tune for a wedding ceremony this weekend... instrumentally, as a reprise for the bride's recessional, and later perform the full tune for the reception, as part of a thematic idea. Sometimes people surprise me in a good way.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEb33a09-3A
This was great fun to learn. The harmonies are irresistible. And "Dirty Kitchen" is a GREAT name for a string band.
I don't really know if there are other forum members geographically located near the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, but this Saturday evening I'll be listening to these guys (The Malina brothers) who are playing a "house concert" at my place. They've played with Charlie McCoy, Peter Rowan, and David Grisman so have a pretty solid resume. If you're in the area and are interested in bluegrass with an international flavor, drop me a line and I'll provide you with more details.

Brian; cool that you're hosting a house concert.
Now for something maybe a bit unexpected.
Didn't think Glen Campbell could play like that.
https://youtu.be/GUBhE00h9U0
Echoing Dave's comment Brian... very cool for hosting a house concert. Those are an excellent means for artists 'on the bubble'. I very much enjoy playing a more intimate setting like that, as it's much easier to connect with an audience. Thanks for supporting fellow musicians! ;)
* love hearing those guys do "Flowers of Edinburgh"
Yeah, Campbell's a great player. This solo is the one that turned me around on Glen being only a country singing star. Oh Galveston...

Bob Weir - "Lay my Lilly down"
http://www.npr.org/sections/world-cafe/2016/09/12/493311611/hear-a-new-bob-weir-song-lay-my-lily-down
If music is really universal, I wonder why so many artists who are "on the bubble" in the US play to sold out houses and win the equivalent of multiple Grammys in other countries. I can see that when the music played is decidedly different (e.g. Indian music) but European bluegrass and bluegrass as played in the US are pretty much the same animal. The fact that a band that sells out concert halls in Prague, Vienna, Paris, and Berlin is going to be playing on my lawn for 40-50 people on Saturday amazes me. Now I make a damn good espresso and feed the band members well (no it's not Minnesota food I serve them) but I find it hard to believe that what has kept this thing going for 4 years and three different bands.
I find the history of "house concerts" and the role they played in a number of rebellions/revolutions quite interesting and love the way that our peers in Europe, especially Eastern Europe, have kept the tradition going.
If there's been one lesson that's made it through my thick skull Brian, it's simply this - the Tree of Music is twisted and gnarly, and the few of us that live on the branches of that tree aren't really all that different. I think it's how we ended up there anyway. :D
Picked that postulate up from a good friend of mine over coffee one morning... traveling musician Steve Keith, who spends half his year playing in New Orleans, and the other half in Nova Scotia, writing playing the *exact same* cultural music. I'd never thought about it before, but the Louisiana Cajuns were exiled Acadians from up there. (Acadian = Cajun, like Indian = Injun) Phonetic faux-pas aside, people carry their music with them, just like family heirlooms. No small wonder Slovic, (and really most of Eastern European) folk music and American folk music mesh so well. David Grisman spent a good portion of his career studying, and incorporating elements of Gypsy Jazz into what became his "Dawg" music. Tony Rice seized upon that, and carried it to the ears of a Bluegrass audience. Two generations later, Bluegrass musicians from both sides of the Atlantic crossover to play festival circuits and/or smaller venues. It's just kinda' making laps around the world now.

Listened to the whole album this tune comes from a couple times in the car last night, as me and our fiddler made our way home from a l-o-n-g weekend of playing music around the Old Dominion. Tired today, (Mom says it's hard to soar with eagles in the morning when you spend all night hooting with owls...) but I woke up this morning with this one stuck in my head.

Britt Haas, and Paul Kowert, by the way I hear, will be part of the new Prairie Home Companion 'House Band' when Chris Thile takes the reins from Garrison Keillor.
Chris Thile is taking over for Garrison Keillor????
Wow; that Haas Kowert Tice piece was great! Thanks Greg.
I known it's been posted in this thread previously, but gosh darn if it doesn't deserve to be posted again.

Up the Pups! Well worth another play. 8)
@ Dave: yeah, I did a double-take on that news too. I'm excited about who all will be in the new band, since that's pretty much the A-list of Acoustic Americana, but Chris for all his brilliance as a musician, in the role as host... I'm sure he *can* do it, but that will definitely change the dynamic of PHC.
http://bigstory.ap.org/article/b68c4645599c48dd90a2f8a01bbab360/goodbye-lake-wobegon-prairie-home-getting-new-host
http://current.org/2016/08/prairie-home-host-announces-new-house-band/
Chris sat in as guest host not too long ago and did a fine job. No one will ever replace Garrison, but Chris will be a fine start to a new chapter.
Ironicly enough the Haas Kowert Tice group reminds me of Nickel Creek (one of Chris's bands). The bassist in HKT, is one I will keep my eye on, it was fun watching him play.
<edit>
Well color me silly, doh!
It makes perfect sense that Kowert also plays in the Punch Brothers, no wonder I enjoyed watching his energy as he played.
As a Minnesotan, I'm looking forward to Chris Thiel taking over for Keilor. In spite of his radio persona, Mr. Keilor has a reputation here locally for being "not so nice a person" with among the many incidents...one involving suing his neighbors because their house interfered with his view, and a situation which I personally witnessed during which he verbally abused a flight attendant for 10 minutes because his 1st class airline tickets had him sitting across the aisle from his personal assistant rather than directly next to him. Definitely a person whose fame resulted in him becoming, as my grandma used to say, "too big for his britches."
Woo hoo! Finally, some tawdry "celebrity dirt" on Garrison. I've listened to his show since I was a hippie teenager, and now I find out that his humble, old-fashioned "regular guy" shtick was all an act. Somebody should let him know he's joined the ranks of the Kardashians in the glare of the public eye. (Can't wait for him to post one of those fish-lipped selfies on Insta-glam, or whatever the kids call it. I think that would have a lot better chance of "breaking the Internet" than pictures of an airhead's grotesque butt implants.)
The good news is that now people won't feel sad and miss the presence of one of the greatest storytellers of all time, or for the thousands of hours we've spent over the decades welcoming his nostalgic, funny, and inspiring world into our minds every week, because Garrison got a little cranky while traveling. (I can be imagine his mortification at the headline in the National Enquirer: "GARRISON FLIES FIRST-CLASS!")
The first (of four) times the Foghorn and I saw the show live was in a theater-in-the-round in Massachusetts. I had never realized that the "News From Lake Wobegone" just flowed directly from his mind to our ears, without notes or a script to work from. As the story unfolded and the stage slowly revolved, he gradually incorporated audience members from all around the theater into it until he had created another story about them that fit seamlessly into the narrative. It's impossible to describe in words, but in music we call that "Jazz."
Afterward, he, Chet and other cast members hung out in the parking lot for three hours, signing autographs and having their photos taken with every single person who wanted them. (I have all his books and most of the recordings, going back to cassette boots and box sets from the 80's.) Somebody had an In-n-Out Burger t-shirt on, and Garrison rhapsodized about them being the best fast-food burger on the planet, but no match for the monsters Dorothy served down at the Chatterbox Cafe. I remember him saying something like; "theyre not only delicious, but they'll sit up with you all night afterward to keep you company."
Frankly, before this latest glaring example of his boorish prima donna attitude I suspected him of being the psychopath serial killer who beheaded dozens of Lake Wobegone residents a few years back (http://www.theonion.com/article/two-dozen-more-bodies-found-in-lake-wobegon-2695), after he told the story about Carl Krebsbach's 1937 Chevrolet mobile septic tank Homecoming parade float. (https://youtu.be/FnPm9A-FodY) Some instinct told me that anyone who would make up a story about septic tanks on wheels must be "putting on airs," perhaps to impress his rich New Yorker fans (everybody knows he had some).
Thank you so much for informing us that an elderly Minnesotan became "verbally abusive" on an airplane (I'll bet he gave her "the frowning of a lifetime," to boot), but complained about his neighbors, in public. I'm shocked, y'hear?
Thanks for the links Gregory.
Ed: Maybe in your neck of the woods neighbors going around suing each other a lot more than we do here in Minnesota so it's not such an unusal thing. But there really is something behind the idea of "Minnesota nice." As for the incident on the plane, I find it hard to support anyone, regardless of age, who verbally abuses and threatens others in a manner that would make your local high school bully proud to the point where the pilot has to threaten removal.

completely unrelated..probably..I met a guy tonight named Marcus that was a drum roadie for some of Miles' gigs.
I'm eager to hear more of his regalia.

Jackie Greene is playing a heavily-customized Vox SDC-33 (http://www.voxshowroom.com/us/guitar/sdc33.html), and Ross James is playing a guitar made by Kim Walker (http://www.walkerguitars.com/), one of the finest luthiers on the planet (in my astoundingly humble opinion). Take a look around his site, you'll see what I mean. That's the only non-acoustic Walker guitar I've ever seen, by the way.
Cool - thanks, Forest!
Peter
Just listened Blue Mountain for the first time and wondering what others think. Its a different "voice" (not just the vocals but the music as well) but one I thought was packed with lot of emotion.
I listened to a couple of the interviews w/ Bob Weir about the idea for the project too. Very interesting. Love that little Martin 00 he's playing... it's got just the voice for cowboy music.
I'm listening to some old recordings today I did with my buddy Tony Collins several years ago. He would have been 56 today. I ran into him again, in a short dream sequence last weekend... he was sitting in one of those folding canvas festival chairs. I say- Hey man, where you been so long? He says he's been real busy, too busy to pick, but we'll get together sometime.
Here he was playing at a little jam with his kids a few years ago. Guitar solo at 2:10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67iGEjpSKPs
Damn, I miss that guy.
This was playing in my car a few minutes ago, on this morning's very rainy pre-dawn commute. The melancholy was a perfect match. I love the little fills being done on a fretless bass, but have no idea who played them. It's a Don Henley tune, but this take is from an Eagles live cd.
http://youtu.be/vD_ShcA49No
According the personnel listing on Wikipedia, the only bassist on that cut was Timothy B. Schimt (except the ones in the Burbank Philharmonic).
Peter
That was some cool stuff he played... it's been in my head all morning. 8)
E-o-H, here's Henley's original album version; this is essentially Toto backing him, with Pino Palladino on fretless MusicMan, back when his fretless sound was the hot ticket in the 80's (his work with Paul Weller on the cut 'Burn Your Playhouse Down' with the fretless + Boss Octave box was a minor milestone). After my wife died, every time I listened to this cut, I'd burst out in tears, only recently I can hear it with some normalcy. Great tune.
Joey
The seven headed Crimson! -I think I might have to buy some 'new' music ;)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhKJgqxNDD8
Very nice version of Starless! Thanks!
After a few days' tutorial on Pino fretless madness (Thanks Joey) I seem to have stumbled back into Gordon Lightfoot again by way of Rick Haynes. I've been trying to learn this tune for the oldtyme band:
http://youtu.be/0eowVBNwadA
Then I remembered how much I came to like this one during some particularly bad times a few years ago:
http://youtu.be/cEVBdccJOkQ
...if you plan to face tomorrow, do it soon."
After seeing mention of this project in Jimmy's thread, I just listened to this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OobLZJuNvlI). Dewa Budjana, Jimmy Johnson, and Vinnie Colaiuta. Great playing from all three musicians; and a really nice piece of progressive music.
My laptop's audio out isn't working, so I had to listen to it on the laptop speakers; still sounded great. And Jimmy had some really nice breaks. Hoping to get my sound fixed soon so I can hear this one again through my stereo.
Been listening to this in my shop this week... I love the upright *zing* on these two cuts from Lyle Lovett's 1994 album- "I Love Everybody". I'm not sure, because a lot was happening for me musically at that time, but I think this was a big part of what made me want to string my bass with some Spirocores and explore beyond just the precision-timed roots and fives in bluegrass bands. I pretty much had that down by that time... :D
Just The Morning: http://youtu.be/6LTcEAgJ9wQ

Saving the JJ for this evening Dave. :)
Got a USB adapter today to hopefully fix my sound problems. So I played the Budjana piece again, and I could hear Jimmy clearly. His playing is wonderful; very nice fills, and great solo playing.

Spent the night of my 61st birthday with colleagues from the UMN and Armenian State Pedagogical
University in Yerevan Armenia. Beautiful city and beautiful people. This weekend saw music scores from the 3rd Century B.C. at the museum of antiquities. Very impressive.
Saw an Armenian band Saturday night that I'll post as soon as I figure how to get it off my phone.
Happy Birthday, Brian! Sounds like a great adventure. If you happen to see some interesting Armenian typography and want to snap a photo or two for me I wouldn't mind :)
Happy birthday Brian!
Happy (belated) Birthday Brian. :)
Enjoyed Vic's Commencement Rob. Yes, he's quite an interesting guy. Read his book "The Music Lesson" sometime. It's an abstract, but a really cool philosophical look at learning to play music.
*edit- (link) http://themusiclesson.com/
Thanks, Greg. I'm actually reading Victor's book now, just a couple more chapters to go. I like the way he relates music to life processes and decision making. Pretty cool, and makes you think!
Rob
I just watched Victor's "talk" at Rubenstien - best use of 24:30 of my day. And now I can carry that message with me through the day. Thanks Rob!
Still in Yerevan until early Saturday but still unable to download music video from my phone to computer so I can post. Mica asked me to send her any interesting typology I ran across while in the Armenia which has a unique alphabet that's been around for centuries. I've seen a lot of interesting stuff but this is what caught my eye.
Bill mentioned the Second Movement of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony. Here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbNGklNz8Yk) is a powerful performance of that piece.

Wow. Thanks for posting that. I'm floored by that performance.
Maybe not today, but THE LAST WALTZ is usually in the rotation from time to time. Saw this excerpt from Robbie Robertson's forthcoming book in VANITY FAIR about the filming of the TLW, thought I'd pass it along. Fascinating, inasmuch as they realized they had to get off the road to get away from the 'Occupational Hazards' before it was too late . . . . .
http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2016/10/making-of-the-last-waltz-the-band#1
Joey
My recollection from reading Levon's book is that Robertson was the only one who felt that way; and eventually they all went back out on the road without him. (A quick check with wikipedia suggests it was a seven year break.)
I miss Rick Danko. :(
Good call Joey. I've got about 4 hours of windshield time coming this weekend, nothing to do but listen and drive.
I loved the Band. This version by Robertson differs quite a bit from Levon Helm's in his wonderful autobiography "This Wheel's On Fire" (along with Phil Lesh's "Searching For The Sound", one of the two finest rock autobiographies I've read). For example, according to Levon, they didn't invite Neil Diamond because "he represented Tin Pan Alley". Rather, Robbie invited Diamond without consulting the others becase Robertson was producing Diamond's album at the time. Furthermore, Robbie attempted to kick Muddy Waters off the bill to make room for Diamond (who was the only bad part of TLW, IMHO). Also, according to Levon, Scorsese wasn't merely an up and coming director whom Robbie had just met. Rather, Scorsese and Robertson were recently divorced bachelor buddies, sharing a house, women, and lots of coke at the time. And I question Robbie's accuracy in claiming they were all junkies except for him and Garth.
Bill, tgo
Maybe my favorite take from TLW... "Ophelia"- http://youtu.be/4RjqcTsxx-8 Love the bass part against the horns. It's hard to tell it from the tuba at times. ;D
"The Weight" feat. The Staples' is a close second.
Danko singing "It Makes No Difference" still blows me away. I think I'll be listening to some Band tomorrow while I work on some guitars I'm building.
Bill, tgo
The day I can hear Mavis come in on "The Weight" and not get goose-bumps is the day you can bury me.

Somehow stumbled upon this via the Cows With Guns looking know from a different thread.
Interesting version of Billie Jean (https://youtube.com/watch?v=dEDHdBG_5ac).
That made my day Paul! ;D
The bass part on Billie - Jean is quite a handful. I had to learn it once for a Harwell-Grice Band gig... well, to be honest, I learned just enough of it to sell it to anybody who didn't actually know better. ::)
I've been listening to John Hartford a lot this week, specifically his tributes to West Virginia fiddler Ed Haley. Our neo-oldtyme band New River Bound is working up an arrangement of "Boatmen" and several other tunes heavily influenced by Haley's touch: http://youtu.be/zICScsv3yqk
Hartford was a deeply introspective guy. Maybe that isn't the right word either... he was a multi-faceted player, more like three musicians rolled into one, and you could never be certain which guise he might be in. Here he was with the late-great Roy Huskey Jr. doing his signature song, Gentle On My Mind: http://youtu.be/PfBhVoU6dM4
I can't find it right now, but Hartford's eulogy for Husky was one of the most interesting things I ever read about a fellow bass player.
Love John Hartford! I used to see him play often when I lived in SoCal in the early to mid 70's. First time I ever saw a stomp board. Here's one of his more amusing tunes:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hekm2QXZ_wU
Bill, tgo
John Hartford, who delivered one of several touching eulogies at the bassist's funeral, employed a young Huskey in his famed string bands of the '70s. Huskey used to explain to the banjo player how he heard music in colors. He even constructed a color wheel for Hartford to show how he aligned certain notes with certain colors. Later on, Hartford came across an old book that traced the beginnings of musical notation. The earliest transcriptions were notated in colors, he discovered, and the colors were the same ones that Huskey had used to explain different notes.
"Roy had perfect pitch," Hartford explains. "But his gift was more than that. He could tell the note that the sound of a room was in. He'd walk in a place and say, 'This room is in this or that note,' or 'You better watch A in this room.' He also could go around a room and detect where the best spot was for music. He'd find just the spot where music would sound the best, and he'd be right. He had one hell of an ear."
Like many others, Hartford also remembers how Huskey tended to make everyone onstage feel more comfortable. Because his father was the late Grand Ole Opry bassist Junior Huskey, the younger Huskey grew up around well-known musicians, and he had an unflappable sense of calm that influenced those around him. "You've heard of medical people having a good bedside manner," Hartford says. "Roy had what I call a good bass-side manner. He had a way of putting you at ease."
For all the talk of his perfect pitch and his great ear, the thing that made Huskey such a great player was his feel for the music—his ability to make a song come alive. "He was just so on target," Hartford says. "It wasn't that his playing was that unusual. It's just that it always fit, and it was always exactly appropriate."
Taken from this 1997 article: http://www.nashvillescene.com/arts-culture/article/13001702/closer-look
In another account of Huskey's perception of musical notes in color, Roy claimed that he could tell the last note of the universe was pitch black, or Bb. Turns out, that's exactly the frequency emitted by a black hole, some 57 octaves below middle C.
Now that's deep. Literally.
That's a great write-up,thanks for posting it.
Thanks for sharing that, Greg.

Aereo-Plain (recorded by the Dobrlic Plectoral Society - Hartford, Vassar Clements, Tut Taylor, Norman Blake, and Randy Scruggs - but credited to John) has been on my "Desert Island" list for over 40 years (first heard it the first night I dropped).
Saw him solo (opened by New Grass Revival) in '76, and it was amazing. Yes, Bill, he had the plywood -and started late from arguing with the soundman about how to best mic it. I forget who said this when he passed, but it captures him exactly: "John Hartford always had one foot in the past and one foot in the future - and they were both dancing!"

I've always loved the Beethoven symphonies, but I've often found myself wishing the recordings matched what I thought of as Beethoven's power. This evening I found a recording that brought the power (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_xS8OLQYI0).
I was going to cook dinner, when I thought that I would like to listen to a long piece of music while doing so; and I thought of the Sixth Symphony, which has long been one of my favorite pieces of music, and which I haven't listened to in quite a while. To hear it in the kitchen, I turned it up really loud. By the time I got back upstairs, the third movement was beginning; and I left it really loud.
Then came the fourth movement, the thunderstorm. And while I did have the stereo up really loud, a lot of the power of the storm seemed to me to come from the recording. And if you like bass, and I think a few of you do, this is powerful bass.
But the entire symphony is wonderful, and it was a joy listening to this recording of it.
If you haven't heard the Sixth Symphony in a while, now would be a good time; and if you have a nice stereo, turn it up.
I didn't watch Twin Peaks in '90, but thanks to Netflix have just discovered it - and I'm digging Angelo Badalamenti's music HARD!!!

I'm actually listening to several versions of "Not Fade Away" for a wedding reception gig this weekend. Oddly, I'm looking for something that does a little better job supporting the guitar rhythm since these guys don't have a drummer. Unless you count their banjo player... 'cause after all, a banjo ain't nuthin' but a snare drum with a neck stickin' out the side. ;D
Seriously, just trying not to overthink this one. Here's Stevie Nicks take on it: http://youtu.be/UbndfXPU6AU

I've had the last now on 8-track, LP, & CD. Still puts me on those Appalachian back roads.......

*Don't remember the model, but it was the 4-door land barge with the back window that went down like a station wagon. This was very helpful, as it turns out that kneeling on the back seat with the package shelf as an elbow rest was much easier than leaning out the passenger window when shooting mailboxes & road signs. Or so I'm told.

Peter, I certainly am not as Dead savvy as many here - In The Dark is my favorite album of theirs which most likely makes me a Deadhead Lite . . . .
With that said, I can say that the Europe '72 was truly enjoyable, great audio, great songs . . . found myself burning dinner as I was dancing in the kitchen!
:-D
While searching for something different, I ran across a copy of one of my favorite LPs that I hadn't listened to for years because of the ease of just playing things on my computer - At Fillmore East, by the Allman Brothers. Whether it was the music, my mood, or listening to vinyl, I reacquired my appreciation of the group and heard nuances I had not heard in years.
One of the all-time classics, Brian! If the CD player in the cab wasn't broken, I'd while away my work hours tomorrow with The Fillmore Sessions, which from the same shows. Well worth looking into!
Peter
Spent the day driving around with an old friend, actually my childhood sweetheart. We grew up together here back in the 80's but have stayed close all these years after the teenage romance thing ran out. She lives in Southern California these days, but came home to Virginia to visit some of her remaining family this week. (and me I guess... ::))
Anyway, it was another beautiful Autumn day here, perfect for driving around. After 35 years, there really isn't much conversational ground left to cover... it's just nice to hang out. We listened to this whole CD, but this one funny little tune stayed in my head. The bass part is maddening - can't wait to try it at home!

Edwin, that sums it up really well . . . .
All I can hear today is the voices in my head - and they're saying some dark things, indeed.

I think I'm gonna have to dial up some Pete Seeger, then Hendrix.
Putting a record player in the wood shop might help bring back some function.
Lately my Pops has caught the bug to do some work in the shop again... nothing much goes better when you are whittling out a banjo than to put on some Flatt & Scruggs music:

Except maybe this topnotch Flatt & Scruggs Tribute Band:
http://youtu.be/paKFesk53HQ
;D
Hats off to those guys for doing it right! And, -come to think of it- the Ol' Man, for showing me how to fix stuff.
Nice, Greg! I almost didn't recognize Jerry Douglas; he's looking old (sure glad that's not happening to me............)
Can still spot his playing in half a note, though!
Peter
Oh yeah, he's a dobrologist of the highest order. ;D
I think it's so cool how the Earls even got the smallest nuances of the Flatt & Scruggs thing down. They all cleaned up at the IBMA Awards this year too, for their efforts. I'm not even that big on much of the first-generation bluegrass, (at least not a steady diet) but I do recognize how well-done this is. Plus, it keeps my Pops happy and whittling away. 8)
Jerry Douglas really is THAT GUY, as soon as he plays you just know . . . .
A friend was lamenting that his video hardly gets any views but this one has over 2 million. I enjoyed it, silly.

I remember seeing New Grass at Telluride and the Boulder Theater in the '80s, that was a fun band!
Saw Newgrass in '76 opening for John Hartford; a fun band indeed!
A little while back we had discussed the bluegrass scene in Eastern Europe... these guys in the Czech Republic are forming a new band, supposed to debut this weekend.
http://bluegrasstoday.com/new-aliquot-forms-in-czech-republic/
Here's the trio on some earlier work: http://youtu.be/XiKBVMPcDRw
Very nice! I seen and heard Vitek Hanulik play while visiting friends in Praha but hadn't heard of the others. I'll definitely be tuning in to their concert.
Interesting factoid...I now know five Czech bassists (3 bluegrass, 1 jazz, and 1 funk) and they are ALL named Pavel. I know it's a common Czech name but 5 out of 5 gets one wondering.
Eno-Byrne "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" on LP always makes me happy for some reason.

A co-worker sent me this viddy of Chris Thile and Brad Mehldau yesterday. I hear there's a forthcoming project with these two...
http://youtu.be/yEVnOgtJSY0
I was relistening to the link that Dave posted a few pages back and then spiraled down the YouTube wormhole and ended up listening to Rachmanioff Piano concerto no 2 op18. Wow.
It blows my mind that a person created this..... i think if you added up all of the beautiful musical thoughts I've ever had in my life, you might get a half bar of music as beautiful as this. So many parts interwoven so perfectly.

Peter (who's off to avoid talking politics with the inlaws)
Enjoyed the Arlo yesterday Coz. I listened in my car, mostly because I hadn't heard Alice's Rest. in a while, but also because I knew it was going to take at least 20 minutes to get where I was going. ;)
I'm decorating my office this morning, and listening to Manheim Steamroller in a loop.
Hey Coz, curious... do you know what is the small-bodied guitar Jim Post is pictured with in the "Wendigo" video? Picture is a little fuzzy, but it looks to be about a size 1 or 2, and appears to have a Martin/Stauffer-style pyramid bridge.
Our neo-oldtyme band New River Bound is finishing up tracking and beginning final mixes on our project next month. (January) The tune we've kinda' leaned towards as a 'title cut' is an original called "'Til Winter Breaks". I've been trying for a while to come up with a bass counterpoint to the guitar intro, because it just seemed so stark alone. The other day I heard James Taylor's "Millworker" again, and was deeply inspired... going to come up with something along those lines. :)
It's just so much more with that bass part underneath. Hope Jimmy J won't mind me borrowing a couple textures from it. ;D
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxsJwweI9I4
That's nice!
John
Like I said, Greg, he's an old friend - I haven't seen him in way too long, or seen him play in even longer (I'm talking decades). I never saw him with anything other than a Gurian, and that ain't it. I need to look him up one of these days; when I do I'll ask him.
And now, just for the sheer WTF factor:

Golly that's a fast bass part in the second link!
I've been listening to Dan Crary's "Holiday Guitar" album this morning... it's a neat instrumental collection of fairly obscure carols. For instance:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLsIbL_j44M
I've always liked this song for the lead guitar part, and it just came to mind as I was thinking of trem bars. Wonderful touch on the trem, and beautiful tone. Found a nice live take; Wicked Game (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOjTweUPt3Q).
And here's the same tune with the original guitar player, James Wilsey (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Uw4V5yt1-w).
Love "Wicked Game", Dave! Chris has a lot of good stuff, but that one, IMHO, is his masterpiece!
I found a good one on Netflix: Loreena McKennitt.
Concert from the Alhamba; chick singer whose speaking accent suggests 'Murkin/Canuck, but her stuff is firmly Celtic-based. Besides singing, she alternates between grand piano, accordian, & harp (Celtic, not mouth).
Her band has 4 percussionists (traps, mounted, hand drums, and tablas), bass (alternates between electric & doghouse), cello, violin (both carbon fiber), a strange Arabic thing - 3 strings, bowed, held upright in the lap, scale about 10", hurdy-gurdy, zither, and, at various times, electric & acoustic guitar, octave mandolin (or could be a bouzouki), viola, clarinet, keys, and 2 lutes. I may have forgotten some........
A pleasant hour+

Peter; thanks for the suggestion of Nights From The Alhambra. I just finished listening; beautiful music. The instrumentation and orchestration are wonderful. Here are the instruments from the liner notes:
Cello – Caroline Lavelle
Drums, Percussion – Tal Bergman
Electric Bass, Double Bass [Acoustic Bass] – Tim Landers
Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bouzouki [Celtic], Oud – Brian Hughes
Hurdy Gurdy – Nigel Eaton
Lyre [Lyra] – Sokratis Sinopoulos
Oud – Haig Yazdjian
Percussion – Rick Lazar
Percussion, Bodhrán, Bagpipes [Uilleann] – Steáfán Hannigan
Viola, Keyboards, Tabla – Donald Quan
Violin – Hugh Marsh
Vocals, Accordion, Harp, Piano – Loreena McKennitt
Zither [Kanoun] – Panos Dimitrakopoulos
That's quite an ensemble. Goodness. I'm guessing there aren't a dozen people in this town that even know what an oud is.
I'm on a LeeAnn Womack thing tonight... (will spare you guys the link) I gotta' cover "I Hope You Dance" for an upcoming gig. Most of it is simple, but there's a bass intro. ::)
Right now I'm listening to Tarkus...in honor of two of the greatest musicians of my time...one whom we just lost today.
Tarkus is just amazing.
Back around '70-'71, my friend Crazy Mike put a used 8-track in his '64 Mercury; it came with 3 tapes. While I preferred both Fever Tree's eponymous debut & Sly & The Family Stone's Greatest Hits, we spent many a backroad mile digging Tarkus. It's been a bad, bad year.
And thanks for the line - up, Dave. I was close - probably distracted by Ms. Lavelle & the "Leda And The Swan" imagery she provoked......
Peter (who should probably revisit Tarkus & see what the decades have wrought on his ears)
Just listened to the 2012 remaster of Tarkus; not the whole album, just "Tarkus" - the first side.

Peter that was fun, groovy, and tight!
I'm up against a re-assignment at work... probably means a shift change, definitely moving to a different facility which could mean a longer commute. Worst of it is, I have to train my own replacement here first. Oh well, it's been a good run here... alas, just being necessary doesn't necessarily make you important. Besides, I make a good cog in the machine. (for another 7-1/2 years anyway)

That blackbird album is the most 'bluesy' of their albums. The others are much more reggae/ska/R&B inspired. I went to a lot of their live shows while living in NZ. So good live.
Another one of my favorites from them: https://youtu.be/HGfsf-d1aDc
David Crosby played at the Jefferson Center for Performing Arts a couple weeks ago, and I got bootlegs! ;D Been listening to them this morning while catching up on housework.
Last couple nights have been in the teens, darn close to single digits here, so I thought about this Tony Rice take on a Gordon Lightfoot tune from my formative years...

I have no idea why it's been so long since I thought of them; I've always loved them. Saw them on a little stage in the street at our local carnival in the early '90s, and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Eastern N.C. this time Dave... most of our folks are in the Raleigh-Durham area. I'll be checking in with my Cousin Graham (down your way) in Spring. We should do an Alembic mini-gathering. ;)

Ray Brown Masterclass...I can tell those basses aren't plywood (like mine).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmoIvdWJpdQ
You're definitely soaking in the right stuff Elwood!
Between you and I, carved basses sing in a beautiful voice, but tend to be very high-maintenance ladies. My main bass for 25 years running is a pre-WW2 German import, that even though laminated, will hang with the best of them. The carved bass is (perhaps) 80-100 years older, and never leaves the house.
I haven't listened, or even tried to play any music for a solid week now. Yesterday and today, I've spent reading, and just trying be still. Keeping warm as possible so I can (hopefully) be ready to go back to work tomorrow morning. (it's near single digits here and there's about 6" of snow leftover from Friday night)
Ah...I should call her 'laminated', not 'plywood'...she'll like that.
I'm going to have to start looking for an old gem I can fix up.
I'm sure I'll have many questions for you as I see what's out there.

Thanks for the data point. We have found that the tags can be edited out, but we haven't determined what's causing them.
Out of nowhere... (or possibly the residual effects of NyQuil Nuclear Maxi formula still coursing through my veins) here comes Robert Cray, and a song I hadn't heard or even thought of in almost 30 years.

I had "Strong Persuader" on a cassette tape, and must have worn that thing out during my Senior year of High School. Good times. ;)
Ran across this Fleetwood-Mac jam/outtake... apparently from the sessions while recording the"White" album about 1975. I assume the engineers just had tape rolling while getting levels or something. Anyway, I live and breathe to find licks like McVie is playing here, especially around 3:30, and again about 5:20 in.

Martin Barre of Jethro Tull fame. I had been wondering what he was up to since he wasn't touring with Ian Anderson. And....he's doing his own thing. This video was shot last year when he was 69 years old. Dude be still a rocking! These are some really cool twisted versions of some of my favorite old Tull songs - Love this version of Fat Man and A new Day Yesterday. Singer is not Ian - but I really like him. And he can play too!!! The best part, Martin is starting up another tour and will be in Nashville in March. Really stoked for this one. Enjoy - Stephen

Getting ready for a reunion show with Acoustic Endeavors coming up at the end of February, I'm going back through old albums listening to tracks trying to find enough to put in the set list to make for a show. This is one was written and recorded back when the band was probably at it's peak, but unfortunately wasn't released until a 20 year anthology (of sorts) came out. It used to be situated at the head of the second set.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRWxl4Svtag
I always thought the video to this one should've been a Southwestern theme, with us portrayed as Mariachis playing in a little cantina, the backdrop for a main theme of someone learning to drive. The subject car would of course be a Chevy El Camino. ;)
*come to think of it, Minor Swing might be a good one Coz... we'll have a guest fiddler, Billy Hurt (who was actually in the band for a while after I left) who can do quite a bit of justice to that little tune!
This one popped into my head today . . .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jMWIvwHiL8
One of George Harrison's better solos. ;)
Nice recording, Greg.

I love the way this thread takes odd turns. :D
This Simon & Garfunkel tune came up at Acoustic Endeavors' rehearsal last night, as a possibility for the upcoming reunion show. I vaguely remember us doing it for soundchecks back in the mid-90's but for the life of me can't remember it being in a setlist. Anyway, it's a nice tune that'll cover well.

Fantastic stuff Caveman. ;)
One of the (few) things I miss about living in Nashville, even back in my day (20 years ago) there was always something interesting going on somewhere in town. The tourist-y stuff was really kinda' confined to either Opryland or Broadway & Printer's Alley, and largely seasonal at that, but if you looked around the message boards at Vanderbilt or Belmont, there was plenty else happening. You just had to know where to look. One of my hangout-n-jam buds was a student at Belmont, working on a degree in Music Business, and always seemed to know. Ah, glory days... ;D
Dynamo was a blast. A really fun aspect for me is watching how much the musicians are enjoying themselves and their cohorts. That energy is so infectious.
What was that freaky trumpet_oboe_synth_clarinet thingy? Dude was laying it down with that thing!
Looks like it might be this, a Steiner EVI (http://www.patchmanmusic.com/NyleMIDIEVI.html).
I never thought I'd want a midi trumpet...now I sorta do.

Dynamo was a blast. A really fun aspect for me is watching how much the musicians are enjoying themselves and their cohorts. That energy is so infectious.

The enjoyment is shared with the audience every time I have seen them. They record live in the studio with a small audience (that helps offset the production cost). A new album is coming out soon.
And check out these from another recording session. The trombone player is bad to the bone!

I learned things about Geddy Lee that I didn't know.
Also have to ask if he has ever had an Alembic?
He mentions Jack Cassidy and Entwistle as two of his influences and also reveals that he is starting to collect basses. . . . why not Alembic?

On deck for me, Fleetwood Mac - Rumours.
Today -by the way- is the 40th Anniversary of it's release. It remains one of my all-time favorites to this day, one of the few albums I can just hit the <play> button and walk away. The title was actually suggested by bassist (and fellow Alembican) John McVie. It was said after listening to all the tracks, he declared, "...it sounds like a bunch of rumours." And so it was. 8)
I'm in a coffee shop enjoying a relax breakfast and they just put on the Rumours album, a nice way to start the day! :)
Paul,
Nice Victor an Edgar piece, music is such a wonderful way to wash away the challlenges of the week!

Departed Master at work. Jones.
Classic Nashville rhythm track: Quarter-notes with the kick under the verses, dotted in the choruses. Notice the Nashville convention for this kind of chart where you root/five/root, but when the chords are going to change, in the bar before you go root-root. Walkups and downs at phrase ends.
This kind of thing would fill the dance floor in one of those big Texas saloons with the basketball court-sized wooden dance floors, with all those cowboys dancing 'backwards in a circle' on a Lone Star Saturday night. I do miss that . . . . .
This song has been around. Similar take on George Strait's PURE COUNTRY soundtrack.
In the words of WSM deejay Eddie Stubbs, 'Country Music, don't you miss it?'
Yes.
Joey
Absolutely. ;)
I bought groceries by playing that root-five-root routine during my time in that town, all credit to my roommate at the time, Ernie Sykes, for showing me those ropes. He was a contemporary of Eddie Stubbs, both were walking country music encyclopedias. Ernie was in Monroe's Bluegrass Boys at the time, and Eddie had just started at WSM not long before. (he had been a deejay at a big station in Northern Virginia... WAMU I think...)
As an aside, it was one Sunday afternoon down near Broadway & 2nd Av. (making some grocery money) that I first encountered this guy playing an Alembic bass, a Distillate 5-string. He was kind enough to let me play on it for a minute during a break. I had never seen anything quite like it... it was more than just a bass - this thing was a work of art. At the time, I knew a little of the storied past, but didn't realize Alembic was still in business. Wish to the world I could remember his name... never saw him or that beautiful bass again, but I never forgot that moment either.
Just received a copy of the recently released Furnace CD by Dead Man Winter. Local MN band with two members of Trampled by Turtles (Dave Simonett & Tim Saxhaug). Very nice!
I need to check out TBT; all I know about them is they are revered among the neo-hippie seasonal workers in Skagway, AK.
Peter
OK, checked them out; I like them.

Good stuff Dave. I might never have found that without this thread! Golly, how does one go about even learning something like that? :P
Alas, I'm stuck in a rut of listening to old recordings (and very little else) trying to mentally prepare for this upcoming Acoustic Endeavors reunion. Rehearsals are not going very well, and I'm starting to wish we'd just not done it this year... or at least, that I hadn't agreed to do it. Good to see everybody and all, but we just can't reproduce that stuff credibly anymore. Trying to do two sets of original music by the seat-of-the-pants with only a couple practice sessions... was a losing strategy from the start. As that reality sets in, the general mood is getting darker. Hard to play well under that pall. :-\
I'm going to suggest a potluck supper next year. 8)
Anyway, the Alembic Club Listening Thread is an inspiring bright spot in an otherwise cloudy day. :)
sometimes the best shows are after horrible rehearsals, so it may work out...at least that's my history; so good luck!
Sure hope so Tony. :D
We're supposed to have another tonight and iron out what will or won't make the list. Also just heard, there'll be an opener for 30 minutes too, so that gives us a little relief.
I think the thing that's confounding me most is, the rest of the core members are picking obscure songs we either never did live at all, or very seldom did, rather than picking from the meat-n-taters set we used to do. I'm going to take a firmer stance against that tonight.
In an act of rebellion I've been listening to Fairground Saints all day in the office. Love what these folks do: https://youtu.be/Hs-ce9LIsg4
go with the hits! my drummer and I try to put orphan songs back into practices, but if you're doing a reunion go for the good stuff, if for no other reason that muscle memory will get you all through the set when thinking starts to get in the way...and you know it...Tony
About two weeks ago I mentioned George Harrison's Woman Don't You Cry For Me from his 33 1/3 album.
Well that song has been bouncing around my head for the whole two weeks. Two days ago I got clearance from my new boss to wear headphones while doing certain tasks at the computer to help me retain my focus (work in a room with 4 people who are in Product Development - they talk a lot and can be distracting). So I brought my removable hard drive with all kinds of stuff and slapped on the whole album 33 1/3 - I can't think of enough nice things to say about Willee Weeks. Listening on headphones really highlights his mastery of subtle yet effective pocket bass playing . . . . kind of a John McVie in his own right. ;)

My favorite 'Grapevine', makes Marvin's a little square, and Fogerty's way-too-white in a flannel shirt sort of way. Gladys' only record for Motown before she changed labels. The Funk Brothers in their stride and this is a real one-song education in Jamerson, who's all over the place and yet impeccably right.
I was born in '55, and so this was exactly the thing on the (AM) radio that made me want to play bass as I was a kid when this and the British Invasion and the West Coast records were what flooded my brain. Amazing to think that so many of these 60's records sounded so good as they were cut by mostly jazz players making money knocking off these little pop records in Detroit, LA, and NYC. Jamerson, Bob Babbitt, Carol Kaye, Osborne, and later Cogbill, Duck Dunn, and David Hood, their lines in those songs was just irresistible to me . . . . .

Geez am I going to miss President Obama, if for no other reason than the fabulous 'In Performance at The White House' series with PBS. I'm not political nor trying to start something, I just really admired these series of shows.
Here is the mighty Yolanda Adams steamrolling Aretha's 'Spirit in the Dark'. Fools go where angels fear to tread, and few can do Aretha covers, but she really, really nails this and gives me shivers every time it comes up in my rotation. Looks like they were having church up in there !
And really, didn't we all want to be Pips?
Peter
Thanks for the Yolanda Adams, Joey!
Praise be!
If Yolanda doesn't make you shake it - you be paralyzed! ;D
Yolanda Adams is awesome! that music done well is killer, but it's so easy to overdo it, as so many do...my latest listen was Ass Ponys " the known universe" a classic example of a major label picking up a band on a guy's intuition then getting dumped after company can't figure out what to do with them after said guy is fired...I wish I got to see them live but sadly they played here once before I ever heard their stuff...
Just discovered this semi-local group (they are actually all from our southern neighbor Iowa) The Pines. Although described by Red House records as "post-folk," I'll just say they do some nice, thoughtful music and let others decide if they feel the need to label their genre. not what I typically listen to, but a nice change of pace for me.

This buddy and me swap videos of guitars back and forth, particularly vintage Martins. This morning he sent me this one of Tommy Emmanuel covering "Purple Haze" with a pre-WWII Martin D-18.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBOJmaxW5FE
It doesn't say, but the white plastic tuner buttons tell me that's a wartime model made somewhere between 1942-1945. Most of Martin's wartime Dreadnoughts also have ebony neck reinforcement, which (I think) gives them a slightly different sound... something in the attack/sustain... hard to define. They are noticeably lighter-weight, so maybe that's a clue.
~Gregory (who is an even bigger nerd for pre-war Martins than he is for pre-gulf-war Alembics) ;D
I was too focused on his playing to notice the actual guitar much. I especially liked that climb in the bass, E-G-A-C, with the use of his thumb, while his first finger is doing G-E pull-offs on the first string; left and right hands both doing cool stuff there to make that happen.
And from there, this was fun; Andy McKee and Tommy Emmanuel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw1MBd_zRlk) playing Toto's Africa.
And with Gabriella Quevedo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQHVzFLsfZ8).
Awesome! Thanks, Greg!
That was fun, Gregory - but the little I could see of the sides is dark enough I wouldn't rule out D-21.
Peter (who of course is not at all a nerd for old Martins.....)
I'm forced to admit you may be right Coz... it could be a D-21.
It surely has that Brazilian rosewood *zing*, but if so, it's also newer than we (me and aforementioned buddy) thought. Style 21 wasn't available in a Dreadnought until 1956. And those white button tuners just scream wartime. Of course they could've been switched too, but then the question becomes why put such obviously incorrect tuners on a fairly rare guitar. ??? The video quality isn't sharp enough to tell if it has metal bushings for the posts... that would at least be conclusive, as the wartime guitars are the only ones without.
Doesn't look like the right color tortoise 'guard for a '42 either. Looks more like that god-awful reddish '47-'49 stock. (My 1950 is almost totally black, with little purple-ish swirls) Again, could've easily been switched.
Sure looks like an ebony fingerboard and bridge too, which would eliminate 21... Style 18 had ebony trim until about 1948, when it was switched to rosewood trim, Style 21 followed suit.
Shoot... part of me wants it to be a hosed-up D-21 now! ;D Whichever it is, good golly, that guy is haulin' the tone out of it by brute force.
~Gregory (who is thankful it's not just him that dwells on this stuff...)
I'm listening to the 5/8/77 Scarlet Fire that is the preview that comes with the new May '77 box set.
Today I was fortunate enough to find an original vinyl copy of one of my favorite Pink Floyd Albums...the all too often ignored "Obscured By Clouds." Enjoying it as I type.
Shawn Lane, Jonas Hellborg, and Felix Sabal-Lecco (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsNgsFO6X4Y), 1998.

The Renaud Garcia-Fons is nice.
Mad skills! And a 5-string!
Loved Molly Tuttle's playing on Old Man at the Mill (second link in Greg's post).
I spent some time yesterday evening trying to figure out what tuning she's using for that... it's kinda' like a banjo tuning with a bass drone instead of a high note. Weird, but very cool! 8)
I liked her take on Rain & Snow. Very soulful. And the guitar solo was very much a Clarence White-infused jam.
Rick Wakeman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgd3eo-0v98). This is a concert from 1990, and I found it to be a very good demonstration of how Wakeman uses layering of sounds and movement through scenes as part of the overall composition. There are a number of cameras, which make for great viewing of Wakeman's playing. I like how he used pedals to hold the chord on one keyboard as he transitioned to another bank of keyboards for the next section of a piece. It's quite wonderful to watch.
I have an assortment of Drive By Truckers music on my hard drive; listening to them today at work.
This one has a darkness to it, that is oddly enjoyable . . . .

Peter (who suspects that his frequent typing errors & crappy guitar playing may be related)
Argus was a favorite for me; the first four Wishbone Ash albums are all good. When I first heard the first song on the first album I was impressed with their sound; twin lead guitars, a great drummer, and wonderful bass.
Here is Throw Down The Sword (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CohG31ecYfA) from Argus.

Love that one. 'Time Was' and 'Blowin' Free' are my favorite tracks from Argus. I completely agree that the first four albums are their best, though I'm looking for a copy of their fifth, 'There's the Rub,' as Persephone is one of their greatest tunes.
Chick Corea & Gary Burton (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15IHNYq6stw) at NPR. This is wonderful.
Got Wishbone Ash playing on a list in the office this morning. Like the twin guitars especially... it's a good brain exercise to think about those harmony parts while they're happening. ;)

Peter (who thinks he may need a fiddle player....)
Wonder if she is any relation to Mark O'Connor? (well, obviously somewhere way back, she must be...) I have totally got to get me one of those hats like the bass drummer is wearing!
In the spirit of Chic Fiddle-players, here's how we do that gig up here in Appalachia Coz. ;D.
https://youtu.be/T21KUL6Dar0
We were camped next to these folks, year before last at the Old Fiddler's Convention in Galax, Virginia. Good times. Tatiana, is a fantastic guitar player and singer too.
Very nice! As an Appalachian-American my own self, it sounds like home. While I, alas, have no memory of him, I'm told my Great-Grandfather Harvey Gerlach was once the premier fiddler & harmonicist in the environs of Mudsock, WV.
Jenny has a YT channel as TheHotViolinist, where she has some nice nice living-room vids with her guitar-playing (and just as lovely) sister.

Carolina Chocolate Drops (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKTXJUYiAT4)
More Carolina Chocolate Drops (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmPf1CJaF5s)
This is a short set, and the band here is four piece. The highlight for me is a gorgeous tune called Leaving Eden, which features beautiful vocals and cello. But the whole set is worth watching.
My son, who hangs (and sometimes plays) with folks in this genre calls this "String-band 'Free Bird'" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gX1EP6mG-E)- but I like it.
Peter (who still likes to listen to "Free Bird", too)
Love the Carolina Chocolate Drops... been a fan for a while. And they're (almost) neighbors to Dave and me. 8)
Esperanza Spalding was on PHC yesterday... may have been a re-run, but golly that lady can sing, and play bass. Wow. What she does isn't really my favorite thing, but the older I get the more I appreciate Jazz, well done.
Everything Esperanza does is amazes me; some of it I like to listen to, some I just appreciate. But I love watching all of it.......

Joe Jackson - Look Sharp started the day (Graham Maby!!!!).
Switched gears hard and went to Phillip Glass - Solo Piano (the Metamorphosis Suite).

This may be my favorite Philip Glass piece, Escape To India (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4msi2zc7iU). Would love to see this played live. Glass gives you plenty of options for where to tap your foot, while bringing different themes and instruments in and out of the piece, all in service to telling the story.
Ray Brown - "Things ain't what they used to be"

Ernie Sykes & Mandy Barnett: https://youtu.be/sAYtCqvlr-Q
Ernie and I shared a little house in Hendersonville, Tennessee back in the mid/late-90's... he had an Opry gig (with Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys) and I was in a band that had just taken the leap breaking into the scene. Ernie was a big influence, not as much on my playing, but how to conduct business as a bass player. He introduced me around to everyone in town during those couple years... really went out of the way to show me 'The Ropes' of Nashville.
I just got word yesterday, he's suffered a stroke. Been thinking about him since, and wishing I had stayed in closer touch. :(
Anyway, Ernie is a fantastic singer and bass player, and a walking encyclopedia of Country Music (as was) I hope he'll be okay... :-\

Chick Corea, Christian McBride, Kenny Garrett, and Roy Haynes. This piece starts with McBride's bass solo, and ends, abruptly, with Haynes' solo, when apparently they decide there's no point in going on from there. I've long appreciated Garrett's playing, and here it's inspired. And Corea is, well, Corea. From the 2010 Freedom Band (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V39lXlaj830) tour.

Church Street Blues - Tony Rice; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JFgC3Ub10E
Still fascinated by the contrast after all these years. 8)
Another candid video of my good buddy Tony Collins, made one rainy afternoon in Galax, Virginia. The tune, "St. Anne's Reel", was one of his favorites to get on and ride. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lektuagD3VQ
Since he's been gone, I have this weird recurring dream where I'm walking along, and suddenly there's Tony on a festival chair (like in this video) with his cased guitar next to him. He says, "hey man, where you been!? I've been wanting to pick a tune... go get your bass." and then I wake up. Dang I miss that guy. :'(
*the guy who put up that video I'll be doing some shows with this Summer. He has more footage I think, but this is enough for now.

Thursday and Fridays I get to wear headphones at work whilst completing a specific task that requires a focused attention (me rocking out seems to be ok - listening to others yabber, not so much).
Here's today so far:
The Lark Ascending - a version I pulled off of an archive radio station file; violin and piano - 16 minutes of heaven.
Anvil - This Is Thirteen; cause who wouldn't listen to Canadian Metal after classical music?
Bill Wyman - Monkey Grip Glue; Jagger and Richards who??? This album has great songs with clarinet solos, banjoes, horns, groovy shoewop back up singers.
Ronnie Wood - Now Look; cause it makes sense to follow Wyman with Woody. This album was my very first introduction to Willie Weeks! :)
Finished my day with:
Max Webster - Universal Juveniles; another Canadian group, why not? Battle Scar w/ special guests Rush!
I.M.O.K.R.U.O.K. - The Synth Strummer; this is some really cool solo synthesizer work from Iguana, the formidable keyboardist from the epic Chicago trio Oh My God.

Here's a whole concert from 2015 that is really good. He has three solo albums that I did not know existed. They are on Spotify and am planning on buying at the show. They are imports on line and kind of pricey.

Chick Corea, Esperanza Spalding, Jeff Ballard. This is nice (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2avN8X9w-rc).
This is interesting. The Art Of Listening (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_5MnvCUvDU)
This Thursdays work listening list:
Ron Carter - Pastels; forgot how good this disc is, plus the headphone factor makes everything better. Woolaphant - has at least 2 bass lines, the guy has great tone, only seen him live once, he had great tone then also - imagine that!
Thunder Clap Newman - Hollywood Dreams; this was produced by Peter Townshend. Fun disc, cool muted, thunky bass playing.
Michael McDermott - 620 W. Surf; back sometime in the 80's I was letting life knock me around and mostly down. This was one of those albums that was a shelter in a stormy period. Listening back to it these days brings both pain and joy. music - the things it can do.
Finished the day with a friends group
Medicine Wheel - Anuresis; cause sometimes you need to head bang before you leave work.
Tomorrow will be dictated by whatever mood I am in - and if I can find some Explosions in the Sky to download (they frown on streaming here). Had a nice long conversation with my son on the telephone the other day and he has tickets to see these guys out east - he is a long time fan; thought it would be good to check them out . . . . what are your kids listening to?
Just listened to (watched) this; Hiromi Trio Project - Desire (http://club.alembicguitars.net/Hiromi%20Trio%20Project%20-%20Desire)
Just amazing.
Here is a video that I think might warm the hearts of all Mothers . It is very beautiful in that Amy Lee is a new Mother . This tune is featured in the new movie " Voice from the Stone " _____" Speak to me "

In memory of Sib Hashian, I'm listening to Boston's first. Forty years later and it still blows me away.
I had not heard he had passed. And yes, when that first album came out, it was ground breaking.

Wow... died while onstage. You know... I'd as soon it weren't while I was onstage, but if I gotta' go while at a gig, then I hope I'm playing bass at the top of my game, on the last song, of the last set. It's what I loved most in the whole world.
I'm going to go dig out my Boston cds now.
Since Jonathan's post on Thursday, I've been watching Boston videos, some from back in the early days, but many recent shows as well. Of the recent stuff, most isn't good quality video, though the band is very good. I did find this pro-shot from the Boston Strong (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-ZT8CDj-A4) benefit in 2013. Twenty minute set; very enjoyable.
They sound good. ;)
I hadn't realized Kimberley Dahme had left Boston... she was awesome with them.
Great views of Mr. Jack Casady playing Alembic 72-001 ! :) !!!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOOQ1woZWQY
I NEVER get tired of that song. Jack is truly a craftsman at creating bass lines, then you put a tool such as that into his hands and that video shows what happens.
I actually don't recall seeing that version before and Jack's phrasing/ creativity brought a few goosebumps. Thanks for posting that Wolf!
John Prine & Iris DeMent doing one of the all-time great love songs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5axlwCBXC8).
Peter
I am glad that you like it Paul . I remember seeing Jack play that bass just about six feet away from be a few times at free shows in The Golden Gate Park in San Francisco . Great memories indeed !
Peter I saw John Prine a few months ago ! Awesome .

Front Porch Magic (Bootleg)
This is an unreleased disc from about 4 years ago - A reunion of The Smiling Faces (a band from high school). We were tucked in the far Northwoods of Wisconsin 'off the grid' at the drummers cabin. The weather was warm for the time of year; whiskey, weed and what not were in play. Two acoustic guitars, a mandolin (yours truly) and a percussionist playing rocks, empty whiskey bottle, guitar case and plastic water bottle. We covered old tunes, new songs and material never written before and most likely never repeated.
The moments caught on the Zoom 4 up there are priceless (for us) and reveal that bond that occurs amongst friends, not only the music but the between song banter of what a "good time" sounds like.
Wearing my headphones here at work there were things that made me laugh to the point of tears in my eyes . . . I think my co-workers are talking about me!
Sounds fun, Pauldo; as someone whose drummer son lived in a cabin in northern WI for a while, I must ask, where was yours?
Peter
Peter,
West of Minocqua . . . . wander down highway 70 about 20 minutes and then turn into the Chequamogen National Forest. Been in his family since the 40's, a little slice of heaven it is. Now I live just about an hour from it (used to be 4+).
Is your son still in the area?
No, he graduated from Northland College in Ashland in '07 (during during his time there he spent a year in a complex of cabins called the Golden Fleece (guy collected different styles of cabins - Swedish, Norwegian, etc - moved them to this place, & rented them out to neo-hippie students & that ilk), spent a summer working as a researcher for NPS on Madeleine , then moved to Alaska, where he remains.
Peter
Very cool, literally being that close to Lake Superior. Alaska sounds like a logical move.
Also sounds romantic living in that climate . . . I wear my long John's for too many months the way it is, I'll pass.
Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke; No Mystery (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10ib6qtpY7M)
Joey Alexander; Giant Steps (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4V_uaxBVOw)
More Joey; Over The Rainbow (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1liUart72g). This is wonderful.
WOW! Thanks, Dave! YT is full of little kids doing technically perfect copies of hard stuff - alone in the basement. This gentleman is actually playing. With pros - and with feel!
Different genre & instrument, of course, but I'm reminded of this kid (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLQTbmUYI4A).
If If young Joey keeps growing, too, he'll change the world.
Peter
Peter; yes.
Just listened to both of them again. Aside from all of the magic at the piano, the drummer on Giant Steps is wonderful.
Our neo-oldtyme band, New River Bound started working on this gem at practice last week. Our guitar player has been playing around with alternate tunings and really liked the big sound of open G.

Since there's no bass part, I have a clear slate to work with, and am trying to borrow some textures from Jimmy J's counterpoint lines on James Taylor's "Millworker". Unsuccessfully, so far. :(
But I'll get it. ;)

Isn't Springtime in the mountains fantastic? It's going to be nice up here today too. ;)
You just have to imagine that tune with an Appalachian string band interpreting it for fiddle, banjo, guitar and bass. Exactly that arrangement, but without the brogue. A very literal translation.
It's the wacky changes in meter that I'm having a time with. ::)
Speaking of Over The Rainbow, thought I would repost this wonderful version by Eva Cassidy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rd8VktT8xY).

Thanks, Dave. I love Hiromi. Hadn't heard that one. I could watch her play for hours on end. Very few musicians perform with the outward joy she plays with.
I like her version of Tom and Jerry..https://youtu.be/-HcKrd3K8_A
... and thank you; I had not watched that one yet.
Dave and Toby, thanks for sharing the Hiromi videos. I have heard her name mentioned in relation to Working with Stanley Clarke, but u had not heard her play, very nice! And she certainly appears to really enjoy playing music!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YU1iyKVChlY
Enjoyed Hiromi, also find myself enjoying Stan on upright more these days. He is the man and walks it like he talks it. The piano stuff made me recall one of my grandfather's hero's.

This afternoon a grad student recital on guzheng.
This evening a performance at the public library by the Northern Illinois University Steel Band. Interestingly, NIU is one of 3 places you can get a Bachelor's in steel pan performance (the others are a school in Florida whose name i forget & university of Trinidad) and the only place you can get a Master's.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen, the world capital of steel pan education is DeKalb, IL. Whoda thunk it?
Tomorrow, the annual NIU World Music Festival.

I've had this cd spinning in the shop this afternoon... Tony Rice and John Carlini: https://youtu.be/7yNk5vE17NM
My favorite is their take on "Send in the Clowns".
I've spent the last three days in New Orleans at the French Quarter Festival listening to all kinds of incredible music.Plus the Frenchman Street club scene at night ; but I have yet to see an alembic.

Rob; I hadn't seen that one yet. Thanks. And yes, good quality video, except .. I've watched through Stranger, and near the end of that tune, somebody starts getting a little "creative" with the picture. :)
David, yes I saw that, there are some video effects in other tunes as well, but they are brief. The second link is from a different source, not quite as good quality, but not bad, and has more guests playing. Mick Taylor in the first video is pretty good!
It was nice seeing Mick with the band. He was one of my early favorites from back when he was with John Mayall.
30 years ago today, (no way!) Fleetwood Mac releases "Tango in the Night". Back when MTV really was Music Television, I remember the news being exciting, followed by the disappointing announcement that Lindsey Buckingham was leaving the band before the supporting tour.
The show went on though, with Rick Vito and Billy Burnette stepping in on guitar and vox, respectively.
John's bass part on this one still wears me out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iggSFkGODk

"...they downsized my Cadillac."
It's like John Prine meets Junior Brown. Awesome!
The first upload from the Buckingham/McVie album:
https://youtu.be/VwBy3TvzPEU
So just reading up, I gather this was supposed to be the new Fleetwood-Mac album, but apparently Stevie Nicks couldn't devote time to the project due to her own tour schedule... so rather than sit on a project already 'in the can', they're going to present it as just what it is- a collaborative work. Nice to hear John and Mick as always, but it sometimes takes me a while to process Lindsey's music. Hopefully Christine's contributions won't require as much focus.
Sometimes I just want to listen recreationally. ::)
Geri Allen, Terri Lyne Carrington, Esperanza Spaulding (ACS) live art Scullers. Great arrangements and a lot of creative music coming out of this trio. Man, Esperanza can play that bass!
I really enjoyed In My World, it actually caught me by surprise, admittedly my expectations were low, the song hit high. My wife came in from the next room and asked if she should know the singer . . . she guessed Lindsay, when I told her about the new release she started bouncing up and down. ;D
My first impression is that it has the classic Fleetwood Mac sound with cleaner (more modern) production, I'd like to hear the rest of the album :)

Interesting observation... ;)
I hadn't heard it as much that way, but more as an extension of "Say You Will" from '03, and this track from the more recent "Extended Play" EP. https://youtu.be/xrRhMI22-UI
In the heart-of-hearts I'm a sentimental fool that's just tickled to see them still making music together. (and desperately hoping I can still contribute something at that stage in life) And I most definitely need to spend more time listening to the pre-1974 iterations of them, if only for the broadened lexicon.
Now, where'd I leave my copy of "Bare Trees"...?

"Classic Fleetwood Mac sound"? It has Green & Kerwin????
Peter
Sounds okay - clean production, etc...(although the treble seems hyped up to me) but i just don't think it's that good a song. Weak hook, predictable changes, kind of nothing melody. Drums and bass, as always always always always, rock solid. I get a little tired of Lindsay's triple-every-guitar-part approach, and the vocal doubling/tripling/quadrupaling take away the intimacy. Definitely in my "meh" list. At least according to the fans replying on youtube, i'm in the minority on this.
What can I say I hear classic fleetwood mack when I listen to it, we all hear differently :)
They were, in my view, three different groups; the Peter Green period, the Buckingham/Nicks period, and the middle period.
My two favorite Mac albums are Future Games and Bare Trees from the middle period group; and the line up on both was Kirwan, Welch, McVie, McVie, and Fleetwood. Probably 99% of Mac songs that I listen to are from those two albums.
Here is the title cut from Future Games (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL6PWUq1vqA). I would guess that these two albums were Danny Kirwan's must creative period.
Mick's Blues Band does quite a bit of early Fleetwood-Mac stuff... and does it well. Maybe that's how he scratches the itch. ;D
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHm7otkZgnA
Think I'll just let this one play in the office today. ;)

Here is an absolutely gorgeous tune, a live take of the Pat Metheny band playing his Letter From Home (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5-pBkwyUxc).

Joey and Bill; both of those were great movies.
The Commitments, I remember hardly understanding the dialog in the movie but LOVED the music.
I was in a band that covered their version of Take Me To The River.
I was also in another band that did the Talking Heads version . . .
Bill is amazing. I used to seem him weekly at the 1369 Club in Inman Square, Cambridge in the early 80s. He'd play every Saturday afternoon and get pretty soundly ignored except by an enraptured few. He's a national treasure.
And for anyone who lives in Colorado, his teacher, Dale Bruning still teaches. Dale is also amazing. He was Dizzy's guitarist for a while and is a master in the vein of Jim Hall. Bill and Dale's duet double album is a must have, complete with Gary Larson cover.

Andy's an interesting kid... one thing we have in common - he didn't really take an interest in playing until his late-teens, but it just kinda' consumed us both at that age. Andy's Dad (who is actually my 2nd cousin) and I get together for some music a couple times a year. Very different backgrounds but that really adds to the experience. 8) I was just down there last weekend, but Andy had a gig a couple hours away and couldn't make it back for the jam at Graham's place, but left me a copy of the cd. ;)

Rigor Morris Sets In
and
Smash Your Head Against the Wall.
That's nice, Toby; I wasn't aware of him. Put some cheesy organ on that & it could be a reggae classic....
Peter (Who holds the B3 to be the hippest electronic keyboard of all time - but still knows that, under it all, Farfisas rule!)
Peter,
If you're so inclined, listen to a few tracks on that album. The reggae rolls heavily through the album, but in a unique way. It's an interesting style.
That is, indeed, in my plans for the near future.

I was but a yearling 47 years ago, but I remember quite well the first time I heard this music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rQSJDLM8ZE
Mann's Fate - a version I never heard before.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=cJ0onxQIY_w
Thanks, Paul; that was a nice one to end the day with.
Umphrey's McGee, Can't You See (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcQLnn_U3hw)
Nice, David, I've never heard Umphrey's McGee. Nice version, thanks.
Here's another; Shine On You Crazy Diamond (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=998TzVK7pQ4)
I was YTing Focus (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4ouPGGLI6Q) (their first - only? - American tour came to my pop. 800 hometown; blew us away!) and the suggestion side bar had this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T71MlJEG9RA). I'd never heard of them. Don't we miss the '70s, when rock bands played Bach?
Which led me to an old fav; I've gone through Fever Tree's 1st album (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz8Tc4qaIKg) on 8-track, vinyl, & CD now.
Their 4th had my all-time favorite "Hey Joe" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkijnWhOFz8).
Peter
OK, random suggestion clicking has led to some more new (to me, anyway) stuff:
Patty Gurdy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyIXR3s8OtY)
The Devil's Daughters (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqi3CSGJnds)
Mean Mary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CNB5OLUPM0)
Tina Gou (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJc9Fko0mf4)
Peter (Who really has to tear himself away & get to work now...)
Peter, thanks; the Patty Gurdy and Mean Mary were interesting, although personal experience suggests that walking on railroad ties barefoot isn't a good idea.
It's Kentucky Derby day - so Ian and Sylvia's "Stewball". And since I'm trying to get my mandolin chops together before we go to Ireland with Larry Kirwan in the fall, Chris Thile, Yo Yo Ma and Edgar Meyer, Bach Trios. Unbelievable. Beautiful.
PS - going to Ireland with Larry as a tourist, not as one of his band mates. I wish!

Speaking of Jan Akkerman, this is a beautiful piece (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTEVwagPmQ4) recorded live in 2009.
And I started watching this, and couldn't stop. Akkerman with his band (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb3qCrNQGQk) in 2003. Wonderful guitar work.
Mike Landau (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ana9iBGBMXw); beautiful guitar work, I especially like his touch with the trem bar on this tune.
Thanks, Dave - that is just lovely!
Yesterday I went to a memorial for my friend Mick Scott, whose passing I noted on the board; about 20 luminaries of the Chicago/northern Illinois folk scene singing mostly Mick's songs. Didn't cry until the last 2 songs......
Peter
:)
Peter, condolences. Tears for a friend are good for the soul.
Just got done listening to 10's of thousands of bees. Our first foray with honey bees in the Northwoods of Wisconsin is successful. Three hives made it through a looonnng winter, and now are bringing in pollen and nectar and queens laying eggs! We kept bees for many years when we lived in the city, but they were never on our property.
Seriously, the hives sing and the bees dance, sometimes it is an angry song, mostly it is calm, sometimes it is a hum (not a buzz) a true humming (must have forgotten the words). We sing to them also, and tell them when we have lost a loved one, for they are tuned in to the vibe of creatures around them.
Thanks, Paul. And the bee-keeping sounds like a blast - except for the fact a few stings & I become past tense......
And I forgot; Saturday we saw a portion of the Kishwaukee Symphony Orchestra do one of the Brandenburg Concerti (I disremember which, and am too lazy to go downstairs for the program), then the full KSO with the DeKalb festival Chorus (which includes several of our friends) did Beethoven's 9th.
Peter
Here's a(nother) 'Dead' tune the Harwell-Grice guys sprung on me mid-set last weekend...
Jack-A-Roe:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3p0e5kaofQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-xy86mFF8g
I've been listening to different versions of it this week, trying to settle on something I like that will still work with the new-grass version they're doing... something between these two. ;)
Nice tune for a new-grass group.
Live take of "Losing You" from Alison Krauss' latest project. Barry Bales (on bass) remains one of my all-time heroes. 8)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-e3VaW9EzY
Nothing like having Alison break your heart on a rainy Friday morning. (I'm looking at you, Coz) ;D
Beck's Bolero - the 'liner notes' share an insight to this song that I never knew about. . . .
https://youtube.com/watch?v=nmO0OZC6Ifk&feature=youtu.be (https://youtube.com/watch?v=nmO0OZC6Ifk&feature=youtu.be)
My friend told me about this, Yes's induction with Geddy doing Chris proud and Wakeman wearing his cape!
https://youtube.com/watch?v=t1-NsnlPc54
Pulled out some old LPs today if only just to remember what I've got stashed in my collection that's on vinyl. I have to admit that it just sheer laziness on my part and a lack of organizational skills (I have no idea where a lt of this stuff is stored in my house) that stops me from listening to music on vinyl more often.
I came across Matador and Idle Moments by 1960s jazz guitarist Grant Green. God he was good and I totally had forgotten about his work.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkDqebNE1xA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOOUCoGAnHk&list=RDIOOUCoGAnHk#t=4
Wow, that Matador album is great! Just downloaded it from iTunes.
Hammer inspired me to look through my older music; now listening to Tragic Magic, one of my favorite Traffic Tunes...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lqY8-A1IMkE
I hadn't heard Beck's Bolero in a while; thanks!
A friend told me about it too, Friday night at dinner, and I asked how Geddy did covering Chris' parts, and he said great. He was right. Very nice Roundabout. I wouldn't mind seeing this lineup do a whole show.
Hah! From the same show, but this time with Steve Howe on bass. Owner of a Lonely Heart (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MOOm9kw1_0).
Well, it has been a few days since I had time to catch up on my listening, and I must say, very nice stuff, folks!
And how well you know me, Greg! I was already looking forward to my August drive to Denver to see the grandkids there, but now I know I'm eating at Cracker Barrel on the way - just to buy Alison's new album!
Peter
In the mid-80's, the guitar player I was playing with invited me over to watch the movie Dune. He pointed out that his favorite part of the movie was the song that played during the credits at the end, and I had to agree. That song has remained a favorite. Toto - Take My Hand (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRzVFlZxBv4).
Larry Carlton and Steve Lukather, with a beautiful cover of Cause We've Ended As Lovers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6ooCngj0xI).
And a nice set from Robben Ford and Larry Carlton (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TaY_4wc9JA).
Another from Alison's "Windy City" album...
"Dream Of Me" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSX3PHYWaTE

I spent some time on this tune from Vince Gill's "High Lonesome Sound" album. Lee Sklar on bass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rsPk9EJffw
I was trying to play the entire album on fretless bass for practice last night, but got trapped by this one, and had to reach for my Distillate. (and a pick!) ;D

Tony Rice & Bryn Davis, "Summertime" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITNNKA8d2tg); this is from May '04 - I saw them that july, and this blew me away!
Peter
That was nice, Peter; thank you.
Any list of "Greatest Guitarists" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhiKgeJV3k0) that does not include Roy Clark is inherently worthless.........
Does 12-string lead (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUAkzUpvNfI), too.
Been doing it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT2PTetKMU8) for a while.
And just for a change of pace, I came across this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La-QiWzwgOM).
Peter
Loved the Atkins, Kottke, and Watson bit.
Tony Rice = Always Nice. ;)
Haas, Kowert, & Tice have a new recorded project out... here's a live take of one cut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmzIwLfw8so
A very nice "Melissa" (https://youtu.be/ggeab0lKz2c).
Peter
That Haas, Kowert, & Tice video was some good stuff.
And a nice Melissa indeed.
Peter that was a jem, always loved that song and that version with the bookends of those that are gone really hits the mark.
Meanwhile, Roger Waters has a new release, this is called Deja Vu. Ironically a rather appropriate tune for Mr. Waters . . . and I am ok with that.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=gf7kMaurLZk
Todd Rundgren and Donald Fagen, kinda has that Steely Dan groovy swing with Rundgren's poignant lyrics.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=los9WulxBjM
Acapella trio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZDIyvYqEC8). Somewhat similar to free form jazz.
New River Bound just started working on this tune Friday night. "To Ohio" by The Low Anthem:
https://youtu.be/WGxaRpN5Eb4
I wasn't familiar with them, but the tune really works for us. Interesting instrumentation too.
Listened to The Low Anthem tune and another by them. I like their approach to instrumentation and timbre.
Gregory, thank you for that - I am now a fan.
This is a live performance that shows their depth of old and new technology.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Pc1o25A_j3o
Nice tune, reminds me of Long Black Veil in a way.
Hot Rize - Untold Stories
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4ggPF3KcA04

Loved Hot Rize (still do!) back then. First band I was ever in, we did almost their whole catalog. 3rd generation bluegrass at it's best. 8)
Spent some quality time last night, playing the new Custom fretless along with Alison Krauss' "Windy City" album. Barry Bales, (her longtime bassist in Union Station) is a MONSTER player anyway, but he just nails the bass parts in these classic country tunes.
https://youtu.be/uSX3PHYWaTE
One more:

Listened to Sgt. Peppers 50th anniversary release with headphones . . . . speechless.
Gregg doing Ronnie. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EOD8w-3Tz4)
Peter
In Washington DC to meet with US Dept of State about disability rights and while taking a walk during the evening just happened to walk in to a concert by the Marine band on the grounds of the Capitol. Certainly not what I typically listen to but the band did a great job with everything from John Phillip Sousa ("Manhattan Beach) to Danse Bacchanale from Samson et Dalila, to the Overture to Tsar Boris.
Indeed, Brian. "The President's Own" did a concert near our home when I was 12-13, and My dad (a Marine) took us to see them. I am likewise not generally a march fan, nor inclined to be impressed by things military, but dayum those jugs could blow!!!
Peter
Peter; the Gregg doing Ronnie thing was nice. Thank you.
In 1984 I was Stage Manager for Big Twist & The Mellow Fellows. That line-up (there were about as many Mellow Fellows as there were Mothers or Bluesbreakers) had Sid Wingfield on keys; I have always considered him one of the great masters of the B-3. Seems he can play a little piano (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbH-ToI-8Lk), too. And despite what it says at 00:42, his name is Sid Wingfield, not "Sig Winfield".

Wolf, hope you had fun at Shoreline! I just bought a ticket for tonight's show. :)
Still fascinated by how bluegrass music seems to have grown roots everywhere... I guess if anything, it sort of proves what I've long thought- music is a language, with many dialects. The Malina Bros. learned to 'speak' bluegrass, and learned it quite well.
I'm listening to Fleetwood-Mac's "Mirage" album this morning, which was released 35 years ago today. Lindsey Buckingham borrowed a theme from Pachelbel's "Canon in D" for "Eyes of the World". Always made me smile when nobody could figure where they'd heard that before. :)
They still do that one live too. https://youtu.be/7TV6BEwJEKI
The Melina Brothers was nice.
And of course the Modern Jazz Quarter is incomparable.
Needed to spend some big time on the computer today writing Annual Performance Reports for a number of grants. I don't think I could have gotten through it without the help of Carlos S.
The first tune, Samba Pa Ti is one of my all time favorites and this live version is something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Vi3UreI9vU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Vi3UreI9vU)
The second tune is a version of Europa Santana did at Montreaux with one of the giants of Sax - Wayne Shorter. I had never been aware of it until today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IJOxCQvtpk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IJOxCQvtpk)

According to that guy, we all have been - at one tune or another. ;D
He's right though... cello lesson #1 is 'halling' long sustained notes until you learn to get the correct amount of bow pressure. It also makes you work on intonation. "Canon in D" is the perfect example.
*and banjos are just fascinating, in any context it seems. Nice!
CRobbins posted this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yO2CcGgIeOs) over on another forum; I felt moved to steal idea & share here. Thanks, Craig!
Peter
Very nice! Frisell has an amazing ability to take any song and put just the right amount of personal touch on it to make it his own but at the same time retain the essentials of the original.
Surfer Girl was wonderful; thanks!
This is wonderful too. More Bill Frisell; Tiny Desk Concert (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO-1Euq2RBk).
Nowhere Man; In My Life; Strawberry Fields Forever
Love his comments after the second song; especially, as he appears to be looking at a Beatles song book, "now I've got to learn all this stuff; I thought I knew it".
This album had a huge impact in my early days as a bassist, my brother had the vinyl and I had the music book for the whole album with the bass parts in it!!! (wish I still had that). Playing along with it built confidence.
Anyhow, the album has a few tracks that have seen far too much radio play - none the less, listening to this today reminds me of the joy that this album brought to a pimply faced bass player rocking out in his parents basement:
BTO - Not Fragile (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqSfIwSNNUs)
some of those BTO songs sound like Clutch; never made the connection before...
I used to listen to BTO as a kid, had that Not Fragile album and others...haven't thought about them in a while!
Just watched this video of Ray Brown playing Black Orpheus, nice if you like this kind of stuff...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6bJu2owDM2E
BTO's all well & good, I guess, but I was always more into this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBjSX0X_utk).
Peter (who did, in fact, sing "American Woman" and "No Time" when they were brand new in his first band as a HS freshman)
I just watched Toto (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udOqB5vh_68), live, 2015. Nice concert; and good quality video and sound.
The Ray Brown piece was nice; thanks!
Peter, you can't deny the influence of Randy Bachman.
Found the Akira Sitake tune . . . Kind of.
Go here and fast forward to 11:20.

It is a short little ditty of his, the haunting melody and probably more so, the way he connects with his banjo really drew me in.
Busking Comfortably Numb (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHxacP7ggyo).
At one point, a gust of wind blows away his sign and tip basket; but passers-by recover them while he keeps playing.

Have I mentioned previously that I love me some Hiromi?
A really, really, really cool take on Pachelbel's Canon. If the metal ruler thing doesn't do it for you, it's only a short section of the song. :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdhHOFv5suY
Dave you are killing me - anything at Daryl's House is a treat. Tedeschi Trucks Band? I can't think of enough good things to say about them, my wife and I have seen them live 3 times and every time the whole band exceeds expectations - they bring joy!
I listened to Eddie Vedder's Ukulele Songs today at work, it is a bittersweet album as every time I hear it every song reminds me of our yellow lab Lucy. Funny how music can be connected to an event (Lucy, bone cancer and her leaving us = broken hearts)
Then listened to Jerry Douglas - Under the Wire and finished with Mark O'Connor - the New Nashville Cats.
This morning, I'm studying different versions of the fiddle tune "Five Miles from Town". One of the things I enjoy when New River Bound adds a new/old one to the list... since there usually isn't a bass part, it's a blank page, wide open to interpretation. :)
Lukas Pool & Eden Forman: https://youtu.be/6UZ-xGifT5s
Rayna Gellert: https://youtu.be/jhGL_rcTYpM
Interesting how when the melody goes to that high figure the meter goes to five. So interesting, I looked up the chart (http://www.celticguitarmusic.com/five.png) and followed along. The chart shows alternating measures of three and two, since the rest of the piece is charted in two.
Nice tune; and nice use of time changes.
A quick trip into normality...... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Uks1HJh2BA)

We call a tune like that one "crooked" Dave. And it is a bit of a head-game, but in a fun way. ;) Incidentally, Lukas and Eden are the young couple that built Jessica's new banjo I posted about last weekend.
I'm listening to your project this quiet Sunday morning. :)
Peter; back in the 70's we had the album Martin Mull and His Fabulous Furniture In Your Living Room! I don't think I've listened to any of his "music" since then. :)
Gregory; I like the "crooked" description. In my case, I was sitting here listening to the music when I suddenly realized I no longer knew where the downbeat was.
Not being as intimately familiar with the genre as you, I'm wondering if such crooked tunes cause problems for the cloggers. :)
And yes, I thought that was the same company; I remember seeing them in previous videos you had linked, including a demo of a partially fretless banjo. Love their playing.
And thank you again; glad you like the piece.
In response to my whing in the bluegrass thread - a little Sly.

I listened to two or three things from Steve Topping's Late Flower yesterday after seeing it discussed in Jimmy's thread. Some nice ideas compositionally, and some very nice fretless work by Jimmy.
Here is Strolling Boy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njpeaKJHBio); beautiful lead lines from Jimmy. Gary Husband on drums.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4MinL8D7A8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4MinL8D7A8) I will be covering the bass duties at a local music festival covering this Robert Palmer classic " Phish Style" on 7/16/17
I remember that Palmer tune; and that Phish cover is nice.
That Phish tune Wolf linked is from the 10/31/10 "Waiting For Columbus" show. Waiting For Columbus was an all-time favorite album for me, and this Phish tribute is wonderful. Watching more of this show now.
Hello Dave, I hope that all is well with you ! I am glad that you like that Phish cover ! I have a few gigs in that band that band with keyboard player Michael Mares who is also in " Dead Guise " with me . We will be doing a few gigs as "Turpentine Remedy" . We will cover some Jazz , Jam Band and our original tunes in that Band . He will also be in my Band " Diamond Eyed Raven " in some gigs in September .Here is the festival flyer for the Gig on 7/16/17 .
Heard this on a college radio station while driving through central Wisconsin.

Thanks Rob . Kyle the drummer who is in this and two other Bands that I have been giging with lately is a big Phish fan and wanted to do the "Sneakin Sally " . As a result I find Phish to be quite fun in many ways having listened more . Thanks for the links .
The bass line in Sneakin' Sally sure sounds like fun. Enjoy playing it Wolf.
So the mind makes connections in so many ways... this one fell into my lap.
Phish.

I was in a "biker band" what seems like many years ago and we covered Back On the Train.
We also covered Moe's Okay Alright.

Both fun songs that broke up some of the predictable 'biker' songs.
I found this very interesting educational vid (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIRN1Ayz-IQ) in the sidebar to the Gordon Stone.

Nice tune too... I guess you've heard this cut of it? https://youtu.be/XV3u6kS2mmE
(so many lovely... voices.) ;)
Yes, Gregory - believe it or not, I had heard Alison do it...(sorry, Alison - yes, I adore you, but Bonnie & Emmylou were here first).
But maybe you, as a fellow Kraus acolyte, can help me with something; I've been looking for a vid of hers I saw on CMT in the '90s, but I can't remember the name of it. All I recall is it was just after she first cut & bleached her hair, and at one point they zoom on her face for the line "...lovers to each other...." and she has a look in her eyes that just melts me. (Well, OK all her looks melt me - but this one melts then boils).
Peter
Here ya' go Coz... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aOq72mbpDc ;)
I knew the song from the lyric, and I remember that time well. Not sure what tv show the footage was from, but for sure it's from the "So Long, So Wrong" supporting tour. Wow. This was about the time Al and the boys had just begun crossing over into superstar status, and sadly, became less accessible/approachable to we rank-n-file bluegrass contemporaries. Up until then, they were playing the same festival circuit as the rest of us, sleeping in their gig clothes and riding in 17 passenger vans, hanging out to jam after the main stage duties were done. Good times... ;D
I remember seeing her and her band at Telluride in 1989

Wow Rob... how can that possibly have been 1989?! 28 years gone. :(
That was a great band too, in its own right - way before the current super-group. We lost Butch a few years ago to brain cancer. Alison Brown is still recording jazz on banjo. Jeff White went on to bigger and better things in Nashville too. Not sure what John Pennell is up to these days, but Union Station was his band. (Bluegrass Nerd Trivia; the original fiddler in Union Station was Andrea Zonn, who now tours with Jimmy J's boss...) :D
Such a funny girl, and a good sport. Alison once sang Happy Birthday to our guitar player's Mom, over the pay phone, in the hallway next to the green room, at the Down Home Restaurant in Jonesboro, TN. She was there because one of the guys in her band was getting married, and they had a bachelor party/jam there that night. Just wanted to be one of the guys that night. :)
I knew you'd come through for me! Tha's the song, alright - and this is the vid (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0o6ql_2Uuw) I saw of it way back.

Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters.
No I am not having a seizure, that is how I do my groovy, movin' round the kitchen gettin' things done dance.
Awesome, Head Hunters will certainly get you movin', love those guys! :)
Happy belated Birthday to Christine McVie, who turned 74 the other day. (7/12)
Not a lot of ambiguity in the lyrics of this anthem:

I just recently finished reading Hancock's autobiography. He talks with reverence about the Headhunters band.
Headhunters (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAlejqkd-gg) live in 1974.
Finally watched this interview with Branford Marsalis (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnnoHPFMs3U) from 1996 about the Grateful Dead. I've seen another, but this one is a bit more in depth; it's quite nice, and worth a listen.

Very cool, speaking of Allen Woody last week at work I went through both volumes of the Deep End and the Deepest End Live. The list of bassist that showed up for those recordings are a testament to Woody.. That is something I love about him, his influences in the low end were vast and wide and you feel how he embodied all of those influences into his own style.
One for my buddy, and brother-in-music, Tony Collins... who left this world two years ago this morning. Life and music go on, but it just ain't been the same here without him.
https://youtu.be/pyV60kTvEFE
A fun watch of Justin Johnson playing some interesting home made guitars. I think the one made out of a shovel at the begining is my favorite. Good mix of music to.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0PoHkHOSKA
Justin Johnson has inspired me to start putting strings on strange objects! ;D
Seriously though, he plays those very nicely. Don't think I could pick a favorite although the one string diddly bow sure has a nice sound.
Beth Orton - Central Reservation; here is one song from it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9CmUodjYuE
The title song was the first song that I listened to after a difficult passing of a family member. Even though that song has nothing to do with the event it is forever captured in my heart as being connected.
And interestingly enough this whole album (as it should) captures a moment of this performers career and there is a thread that links all of the songs together - so for me this whole album is bittersweet, sad and forever dear.
Enjoy

Isn't it interesting how that works? I was thinking the exact same thing the other day.
Quote from: David Houck on July 01, 2017, 01:30:41 PM
Interesting how when the melody goes to that high figure the meter goes to five. So interesting, I looked up the chart (http://www.celticguitarmusic.com/five.png) and followed along. The chart shows alternating measures of three and two, since the rest of the piece is charted in two.
Nice tune; and nice use of time changes.
Dave, this one had been giving me fits because of that odd meter change in mid-phrase during the 'B' part... been listening to it for weeks trying to decide what to do with it other than just pedal a 1 through that part, but I *finally got it* last night at band practice. I think we're going to perform "Five Miles from Town" in competition at the Old Fiddler's Convention in Galax next month. (can't believe it's thst time again already... where did this year go?!)
*Tatiana Hargreaves' take on it was helpful, but since there isn't any bass part, I really just had to work this one out for myself. ;)
https://youtu.be/WOz5khZx6j8
**and to answer your earlier question regarding how that affects clog dancers- good ones LOVE it... they pick up on that rhythmic pattern just like a drummer would, and accentuate it.

Just listened to Dance of Sappho from Zorn's The Mysteries; lovely. Might listen to some more of this.
And listened to Makahaa from his The Gift; very different from The Mysteries, a delightful, laid back, surf guitar piece.
John Zorn live (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFLGQ6waxck) with, among others, Marc Ribot from The Gift on Guitar, and Kenny Wollesen from The Mysteries on Vibes. Very cool piece.
Regarding recording rehearsals Dave, we never have, but that's a good idea... we just have a general understanding that any Friday night not booked is practice night, unless somebody calls 'hot date'. ;D
Seriously though, our first recorded project together is tracked, and about 60% mixed. We hope beyond hope to have it out by Summer's end. I'll post some tracks here as soon as they are presentable.
I just can't seem to get enough of Alison lately. I wore out her Windy City CD in the car while on a looooong road trip this weekend. This old Roger Miller song jumped out at me. https://youtu.be/aPMaX_p0aoM
I love the gentle cadence she places between peaks. Miller was a song-writing genius. And Alison is a once-in-a-generation treasure.
*yesterday was her birthday too, come to think of it. (she's 46 now...)

I did listen to The Mysteries and this ^^^ and while listening it occurred to me that much of Zorn's music is an audio take on murmurations (starlings). The music spins and twirls and spreads out in different directions and then just as suddenly it pulls back together heading in a single direction only to 'disperse' again...
On the heels of that I found this:
John Zorn O'o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0gXGwk27Zo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0gXGwk27Zo)
"Named for an extinct Hawaiian bird whose delightful song will sadly never be sung again, O'o is the exotic follow up to The Dreamers, one of Zorn's most popular and appealing musical projects. Featuring the same dynamic band of masters from Zorn's inner circle, O'o presents twelve more lyrical and adventurous instrumentals combining world music, surf, exotica, soundtracks, easy listening, minimalism and more into a fabulous and exciting new music. Beautifully packaged in original artwork by Chippy, this is charming and adventurous music passionately performed by a downtown super group."
His musical library is vast.
Vallejo - Forever (Is a Long Time)/ Siesta/ Cold Monkey from their 1997 self titled album.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kccdThm758U
Siesta is a 59 second gap between the songs... leading one to believe the disc is over. One of the bands that I was in covered Cold Monkey - truly a fun song to play.
John Scofield - Quiet. Steve Swallow takes a lovely solo on one track.
Also, tracks from Sofield' s Bar Talk, in YouTube - Swallow (again) is SO expressive. A brilliant musician - sample these :

The air-guitar part is harder than the bass part was. ;D
It really was a fun exercise... I don't get to use a pick much.

Glad you enjoyed it. Fat Freddy's drop is always a fun musical adventure ;D

Warren Haynes and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra at Red Rocks doing a tribute to Jerry on his 74th birthday, August 1, last year. It's showing on AXStv. Warren is playing Tiger, making its first appearance on stage since 1995.
Bill, tgo
Found some videos from 2014 of Warren and the Orchestra, got some goosebumps listening to it.
I always appreciate how Warren can 'tip his hat' to so many different performers in his own way. One that both honors the other with his own style of musicianship, without just "copying" their style.

The Iona was nice.
I was going to write that this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_n5YAolWVM) is cute, but thought I should add that its also inventive and instructive. It moves back and forth between jazz styles and classical styles, using the same theme to get a feel for the stylistic differences. They cover a lot of music history in a short amount of time.

Thanks for the McCoury and friends.
That's great Rob. ;)
Del by the way, absolutely one of the nicest guys in the music biz. What a great human being.

Indeed. I played Delfest in 2008 and hung out for 10 minutes. He had no reason to remember me, but a month later, he came up to me at Dunegrass and it was like we'd been friends for years.
What am I listening to now? Bootsy Collins. Always. Constantly. 24/7. For weeks, now. Xander is obsessed and he knows how to operate iTunes. A very funky 5 year old.
I never thought there could be too much Bootsy. Still not there, but maybe getting close.

Just finished listening to Dan Wilson's Re-covered. May be my favorite release by him.
Dan is a singer/ songwriter that played in Semisonic and Trip Shakespeare. He has written a whole lot of material for other performers - on Re-covered he plays his songs that were made 'famous' by others.
I love the power and drive of this arrangement of "Warfield"... though our version is somewhat different.

Chicago - 25 Years Of Gold
Has early and late stuff. As another member pointed out - Peter Cetera is an underrated bassist, but we also should not neglect the genius that was Terry Kath:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NifeiFF2Ufo
Horns, gritty vocals, tearing guitar and a drummer laying it down.
enjoy!
Well, crap - now YouTube tells me my browser doesn't recognize any of its formats; does this mean I finally have to break down & upgrade my XP? >:(
Peter
Pauldo
I couldn't agree with you more. First serious band I played in during college was almost exclusively Chicago, BS&T, and to throw everyone in to a total state of confusion...Zappa. What always impressed me about Kath was that his singing was as unique as his playing. Both were instantly recognizable. Unfortunate that Cetera's taste turned to mush and Kath visited the grave so early. Their first three to six efforts were incredible
It was Chicago 17 for me. Mush, yes indeedy, but it was easier to get the girls to dance... then I discovered basses... oh nevermind. ;D
Just kidding fellas. Good stuff. I always enjoy where this thread goes. ;)
Have any of you Chicago fans checked this out?

Jerry Garcia Live Series Volume 9, 8/11/74. I've really been into the 1974 Jerry band stuff lately.
Just saw Chris Minh Doky Band last night in Copenhagen Denmark (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLd5EvZIBvI). This is an example of what they do...not tonight's concert. Never heard of him before but he is an amazing bassist.
Brian, I never heard of Chris before either. That was great, thanks for sharing. His EUB tone was really nice.
In observance of the eclipse today - sing it Stevie! ;D

Gregory - that is truly an epic version of that song!
I finished listening to Paul Simon - Graceland (Bakithi's tone and playing!)
Currently listening to Pete Townshends - All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes.
Good call - the "Graceland" album is one of my faves! I may put that on up in the shop this evening. :D
Here was how the partial eclipse looked from Roanoke, Virginia just a couple hours ago... the crescent sun, rather than Stevie's trademark crescent moon. :)
John Lennon Rock and Roll.
My favorite album by him.
With Erik taking piano lessons, we're exploring a lot of piano on YouTube. The latest one is Khatia Buniatishvili - Das Waldkonzert. (https://youtu.be/eYlIk19CbBI)
Which reminded me that for some strange reason, even though I play all sorts of weird French piano music from the 19/20 century era (Satie, Ravel, Poulenc, Fauré), I really never played any Debussy, and her Clair de Lune has inspired me to pick up the sheet music during tomorrow's lesson.
The Graceland album / CD holds a special place for me.
Mainly because I was one the guys setting up the room and lending technical support for 2 years for it.
Pretty much start to finish.
Mid 80's Hit Factory Recording Studios.
Wow 30 years ago! Yikes!
P
Peter that must have been a thrill to be there as that opus was put together.
Mica - loved the setting of the Khatia show - nature accompanied her well. Particularly enjoyed the Giya Kancheli - Wenn Mendlen bluhen (When Almonds Bloom) piece - absolutely beautiful.
My grandfather was a pianist (actually a musician, piano, harmonica. ukulele ) Eubie Blake was his all time favorite pianist - a far cry from the classical stuff but perhaps young Eric has a bit of rebel in him? ;)
Watching the Khatia Buniatishvili video now. Thanks, Mica.

VSOP - So What (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzX1PFOSQnM)
Great version of this classic.
Miles Davis - In A Silent Way (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9X7XmigDxw)
From the album of the same name. It's a beautiful, and intriguing, piece.
Miles Davis – trumpet
Wayne Shorter – soprano saxophone
John McLaughlin – electric guitar
Chick Corea – electric piano
Herbie_Hancock – electric piano
Joe_Zawinul – organ
Dave Holland – double bass
Tony Williams – drums
Loved the VSOP cover, but that In A Silent Way!!!!
A heart wrenching beauty in the intro and outro of that - the fact that music (controlled noise/ sound) can hold such emotion is staggering.
And on the flip side, Listened to Deep Purple's Made In Japan.
"yeah yeah yeah the freaks said!"
This was probably the 2nd or 3rd album I bought when in my youth... ??? :) ;D
In a Silent Way...extraordinary! I get chills very time I hear it and that's at least twice a month.

Paul and Bryan, yes; extraordinary.
Re Deep Purple; just glancing through their catalog, I remember Shades, Taliesyn, Fireball, Machine Head, and Japan. I vaguely recall that in the mid 90's my band covered Hush. Machine Head and Fireball were favorites of the band I was in during high school, though I doubt we were able to actually play the songs.
My brother and I were bouncing e-mails back and forth and I laid a bit of our current life challenges on him. He responded by sending this:

Which actually made me feel better, and now listening to the Last Waltz - one of the joys is that it is the kind of album that encourages me to sing along with it! Not sure my co-workers appreciate that as much as I enjoy it.
:-)
:-D
If Mavis's verse doesn't give you goosebumps, check your pulse - you're probably dead.

That's my favorite version of that one too! I also liked "Ophelia" from the Last Waltz".

Chris Poland - Return to Metalopolis.
Awoke with the lyrics from this song bouncing in my head. Our tv died about 3 weeks ago - I don't miss it at all, and the only news I catch is on NPR on my short commute into work. I believe recent events stuck these lyrics in my head:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VZWd-Bdqow
Neil Young's Helpless as done by k.d. lang - I really like this version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdaRG8CQugc
Very nice K.D. Lang.
And from the same album, here's After The Gold Rush (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2jEWE_POvw). I generally don't hear lyrics well, but I pretty much remember the words to this song from the original; so it's easy for me to hear, and it's still a beautiful song, with amazing imagery, after all these years. Strings are a bit heavy in this version, but it still works.
I used to love when Blue Moonshine covered "Helpless"... it remains one of the tunes I really miss playing. I hadn't heard the K.D. Lang cut of it either.
I've been rehearsing weekly with this guy... he's a pretty gifted guitar player but has never played with any accompaniment, and since it's all original composition, I have a clean slate to work with. Here are a couple of his tunes we're going to perform at a semi-formal dinner gig in a couple weeks.

Greg; I like the two tunes you linked. Which instrument will you be using with him?
I might be on upright for a couple tunes in his set, that I think are better served with some drone-y bowed parts, but I'll be playing my custom fretless, "Chain-Links" for the rest... that bass has truly become a big part of my musical voice. :) So much, that I feel a little bad about not playing the others as much. ::)
Jamie is an interesting cat to play with... major Grateful Dead fan, and through him I got turned onto some Phil Lesh influence I might not have otherwise been exposed to. The Celtic-flavored stuff he's doing right now are really an enjoyable challenge for me. Interesting meter/time signature things. ;)
Hello Edward,
just got a chance to listen to the links you gave,
Mr. Morris certainly captures you with all the fine melody, ( I will listen to his other Tunes on his youtube page)!
He reminds of Danish guitarist Finn Olafson!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdmRyp5ePZc
I'm sure your upcoming gig will be quite memorable! Don't think the audience will be prepared for the onslaught of amazing sounds!
The Finn Olafson piece - very nice.
Many Thanks David,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MO7nyjsORM&index=6&list=PLgf3KzzVmaY6SNDoJqIBYp8zieI22OBiw
It's an amazing album called Kein Schöner Land
When you have a moment , tell me what you think.
I was drawn to what Ian Melrose was doing in the background, though it was a bit hard to hear, so I went looking for more from him; and the first thing I found was this delightful cover of Smoke On The Water (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlILrDTbbaM) of all things. Could be my favorite version of this song.
His tone, technique, dynamics, use of reverb, are all very nice. Thanks for linking to him; will look for more from him later today.
Wow David !
That Smoke on the Water was spectacular!!
Ian has some great cd's Like "Shot in the Dark"

Earlier this evening in the kitchen, the words to Pickin' Up The Pieces started going through my head. From the time I first heard Deliverin', Poco was a favorite.
Here's Crazy Love and Pickin' Up The Pieces (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwgA5Otj-L4) live from 2004. Members in this performance are Richie Furay, Rusty Young, George Grantham, and Paul Cotton.
Hey David,
Listening to Poco Reminded me of some Loggins & Messina! 1973!

Buffalo Springfield - Bonnaroo 2011 - For What It's Worth (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7GCw02_5Pw)
And from the same show - Bluebird (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGfL27AnAHw). Very cool jam between Stills and Young. I think I recall Steven once saying that playing with Neil always challenged him to play better; and you can see that interplay here, still alive after all these years.
Enjoyed the Poco, Dave. :)
On my list for this shoptime listening this evening is Van Morrison's "MoonDance". I heard on the morning drive time news he was getting an award tonight in Nashville. I always admired the unsung hero of a bass player on that album, John Klingberg. Particularly on "Into the Mystic".

Happy Sept. 13th
Thanks for The Mystic.
One of my neighbors has a hound-type dog, the type whose bark is more of a long, mournful, and very loud wail. And we live in a mountain cove, which means that loud wail bounces off and around, and is amplified by, the surrounding walls of steep mountain sides. And when the dog gets started, it's constant, for very long periods of time.
So I'm listening to music; whether I really want to right now or not.
Same song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOwBDlcasZ8) - wonderful live version from the Allman Brothers, 2011.

I hear ya' man... a guy just up the road here had some bear hounds. And like you said, in these mountain coves (this little community is literally called Mason's Cove) it echoes like crazy. Given the right conditions you can hear the braying for miles. I heard from one of the other neighbors he got out of bear running a while back. So the general peace in the valley was restored... but now we have a nuisance bear problem. ::)
I don't remember the Allman Bros. doing that tune... Wow!

... a guy just up the road here had some bear hounds.
I don't remember the Allman Bros. doing that tune... Wow!
I almost bought some property next door to a guy with bear hounds. First two times I was out there it was all quiet and peaceful; end of road, surrounded on three sides by national forest. Third time - the hounds were baying non-stop. We decided not to buy. When we talked to the neighbor he said they still hunt bear there.
Oh; and mine's called Ben's Cove.
And Mystic by the ABB was probably a one-off. Warren has a great talent for covering tons of stuff from lots of different genres.
I grew up on Long Island NY and the people right behind us raised hunting dogs and beagles. At anyone time there must have been 10 dogs 20' away! It was quite a ruckus when a Fire Engine siren went off!
I still think fondly of them. :)
:)
So the Allman Bros. version of Mystic was indeed a joy, that Derek! (Love me some Warren to but just sayin')
Which led me to this:

Midnight In Harlem - Tedeschi Trucks Band = magic
That's a good one, Paul; thanks.
Doc & Merle Watson, with T. Michael Coleman on bass.
https://youtu.be/u30g7cRUKNA
As an aside, T. Michael Coleman, especially during his time with the Seldom Scene, is a big reason bass guitars (and bass guitar players) became a little more accepted in bluegrass circles. :)
Nice video, Greg; and thanks for the backstory on Coleman.
I first heard of the Seldom Scene sometime in the 70's. I remember knowing that they were in the Washington, D.C. area; and they were spoken of in almost mythical terms - this amazing band that rarely appeared in public.
Quote from: edwardofhuncote on September 16, 2017, 08:54:59 AM
Like I was saying on the other thread, Coleman is one of the few bass guitar players to ever have successfully 'sold' the instrument to a larger bluegrass audience that usually doesn't accept anything other than an upright ... His work with Washington D.C.-based headliners The Seldom Scene, (and later, crossover band Chesapeake) put him on a national stage with it.
Could the same be said of John Cowan ten years earlier?
"Could the same be said of John Cowan ten years earlier? "
Absolutely, John Cowan was a huge part of the sucess of New Grass Revival, and the newgrass movement... which in my view was 20 years ahead of it's time, but they were never accepted by the traditional crowd, or the second generation bluegrass crowd, at least not how the Seldom Scene were. Was just too hard-edged I think... but then again, that mellow, folksy thing wasn't the fence NRG were swinging for anyway.
The generational/demographic wedge probably had much less to do with his Fender Jazz bass, and more to do with that incredible voice. ;D
Now I gotta' go look for my New Grass Revival cds...

Los Lobos, Cortez the Killer...saw this show last night...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3_s01SDU9Fw
Thanks for the Los Lobos. Hope you enjoyed the performance.
Cortez is a favorite song... that was a nice performance, if the rest of the show had the same energy I'm guessing you had a really nice evening Rob.
It was a fun show in a small historic theater with packed crowd, they played a lot of their classic tunes and encored with Not Fade Away into Bertha, which was cool.
Not as much listening as watching... 52 years ago today, the pilot episode of "I Dream of Jeannie" aired on NBC.
https://youtu.be/l32ZLcSHG5M
So I'm celebrating by binge-watching the entire 1st season tonight. ;D
:)
The Danish String Quartet who I was able to see and hear while in Denmark recently (probably would have never gone to the concert if not dragged there by one of my hosts) plays several tunes here. Make sure you stay with the program long enough to see the last number and you'll think twice about recycling all of your empties.

Pearl Jam - Milwaukee Oct, 20, 2014.
My brother 'gifted me' a ticket to go with him to that show.
Fun listening back and remembering how Mr. Vedder (and crew) made the arena seem like a small club, and the audience/ fans should be included with that - there was an intimacy to the show that only comes from a mutual respect in all directions (stage to audience, audience to stage and person to person).
I started working on "Another Lonesome Morning" as a possibility for use in New River Bound. This version from Emmy-Lou Harris https://youtu.be/IuKRfq2rQxA is closer to what we'll go with, but this live take from the Tony Rice Unit https://youtu.be/YoazxkGzyNY made me cry like a little girl whose kitty ran away. :'(
Edgar Meyer and Chris Thile Both of these guys are EPIC musicians and masters of their instruments. I am confused by the stoic and calm demeanor of the audience... they would have kicked me out of there.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=L9KW9PQMtRA&time_continue=15&ebc=ANyPxKojtQKp6mjMYyStdRQOdCsqqgpBQ9yzC07EpRfs1rx5FkwzWk1fZR4rceHtRPLddDvXOK5qrhtMpUHmd4WcSVEScrgZoA
From a different thread - Edgar even drops his bow. Sloppy, just plain old sloppy.
Thanks for the Meyer/Thile, Paul. Perhaps not so much stoic as enraptured. When I listen to music, especially something like this example, I am quiet, still, focused, open, and receptive. Perhaps this audience as well.
Dave, you are correct.
I recall seeing Michael Hedges in a small venue, and the audience was certainly enraptured... captured. He would finish a song and the audience would do a quick courteous applause and then silence as everyone scooted to the edge of their seats in anticipation of the next musical adventure. Seriously, the whole night was like that, real magic.
For me Meyer and Thile's energy and interplay (in that video) makes me want to laugh, cheer and bounce around. I would have ran up there and high fived them after the Smoothie Song! :D ;D

______________________
I've probably posted this one before, it's a heavy favorite. Interestingly, while I tend to think of it as something of a masterpiece, the one I've linked below, and which I love, is not Chopin's final version.
This one was written in 1834 and published after his death in 1855. However in 1960, another version was discovered that was dated by Chopin in 1835. That later version has a longer middle section, repeating parts of that section. But the earlier version is performed much more often.
In this particular recording, I love the sound of the piano, the way it is mic'd and recorded, and the approach and playing of the musician.
It is the middle section, with its beautiful yet simple initial melody, that is so moving for me; and it is the fiery and thunderous first section that sets up the middle section. Then the first section returns in all its power, and in its wake, that gentle melody of the middle section returns in a lower register as the piece closes.

^^^ that was GREAT! Why hasn't a cable network pick that up? It is by far the best ____ashian show EVER! Real substance there (more bass solos) and the educational aspect... ??? :) ;D
I thought it was HILARIOUS! I think it's great anytime a bunch of guys can have that much fun playing (read- performing) music together anyway, but to pull off the faux-reality-show-character vibe too. I laughed so hard one of the other Operators came in the office and asked, "Dude, are you alright in here?!"
Fantastic. Well done, Gaddashians. ;D
Bluegrass pioneer Jesse McReynolds (of Jim & Jesse and the Virginia Boys) suffered a ruptured aneurysm early last week... fortunately, doctors were able to quickly repair it and save him.
Here's Jesse's take on "Franklin's Tower"... Grateful Dead, done Virginia style. ;)
https://youtu.be/KiTJnKz0VfY
That Franklin's Tower was nice. Did some searchin' and found that he did a whole album of Garcia/Hunter tunes; and that the album features David Nelson and Stu Allen on guitars and vocals, and Sandy Rothman on banjo. I also listened to his cover of The Wheel. Here's the tunes and credits from the album:

"Mandolobro"? Resonator mandola?

Quote from: cozmik_cowboy on September 29, 2017, 08:18:50 PM
"Mandolobro"? Resonator mandola?
I've yet to find a picture of it; but I found a description:
"... he played a new instrument, a mandolobro, which was tuned like a mandola (C, G, D, A from bass to treble strings) with a resonator guitar body." source (http://www.mastersoftraditionalarts.org/artists/218)
When I ran an image search for mandolobro, it returned a lot of his album covers, which suggest it's in the credits and he's played it on a lot of tunes.
Just got back home from Raleigh, North Carolina, where IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) wrapped up their week long World of Bluegrass fanfest. Had a blast wandering all afternoon through the street festival, with stages at every other block or so, featuring music from every branch of the bluegrass tree.
Kenny and Amanda Smith are old friends of mine... I caught their show last night at one of these stages. This cut of Gordon Lightfoot's "Wherefore & Why" from their most recent album was a standout.
https://youtu.be/GqOduqSNflo
But I love hearing Kenny burn down "John Henry's Blues" too.

Fantasia contrappuntistica (BV 256) is a solo piano piece composed by Ferruccio Busoni in 1910. Busoni created a number of versions of the work, including several for solo piano and one for two pianos. It has been arranged for organ and for orchestra since the composer's death.
The work is in large part a homage to Johann Sebastian Bach's Die Kunst der Fuge. Conversely, Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji's Opus clavicembalisticum appears to be a homage to Fantasia contrappuntistica. Busoni dedicated the work to Wilhelm Middelschulte, "Meister des Kontrapunktes".
The composer Kenneth Leighton (1929–1988) also wrote a Fantasia Contrappuntistica ("Homage to Bach", Op.24) for piano, which won the first prize at the Bolzano Piano Competition (1956), premiered by Maurizio Pollini.[1]

It was truly fantastic !

This is quite nice; John McLaughlin and some students from Berklee's Valencia, Spain campus playing Coltrane's arrangement of My Favorite Things (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHbLq694PoU).
I didn't realize this wasn't a band at first; but then I began noticing that the performance wasn't exactly "tight", and then began noticing that they were watching him for cues. Still, it's a wonderful performance of this classic tune, and they were all having fun.
Here is Kenneth Leighton's Fantasia Contrappuntistica (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs8fgJ5qlh0) that Wolf mentioned. Amazing composition, wonderfully interpreted by the pianist, Ching-Yun Hu.
I'm a hopeless Turner Classic Movies fan. Fortunate, all I need for 'surround 'sound' for the old flicks is one speaker !
Right now, they're running all three versions (the original from 1938, and the two succeeding remakes) of 'A Star is Born' on demand. My favorite is the second from 1954, with Judy Garland and James Mason. The NEXT time you hear someone talking about 'selling the song' and what separates artists from us mere mortals, think of this. listen to her effortlessly motor through the wonderful chord changes in the bridge, just remarkable.

Link didn't work, but for the record - I tried. If for no other reason than I was kinda' missing my old tomcat, Slick. He was a kind-hearted soul, and had few vices... but he was slow-witted.

Truth is, out here where I live, chances are a coyote ate him, but I prefer to think he just found a better gig somewhere. :-\

OK, I was at another computer & checked your link.
The hats are now black, and they've changed bassists at least once (they go through bassists like Spinal Tap does drummers - though no spontaneous cumbustion that I'm aware of); current one is considerably shorter & much more female than that one.
He was a grad student from Czechoslovakia; I mentioned his bass in another thread. Turn it around & you'll see the most dramatic tiger-stripe I've ever seen.
As a point of interest, I learned the other night (the guitarist busted a wire & was
really slow changing it) that the first bassist was also distaff; bought her bass from a jazz cat who played it at Harry Truman's nomination party, so she called it "Truman" - the name evolved from that.
Just heard the title cut from Dan Tyminski's new project- "Southern Gothic"...
https://youtu.be/K3RjWJMOuSQ

Different post...as this is what I don't want to be listening to now - Any music with drum tracks rather than real person actually playing drums (yes I know I am supporting drummers here, and I apologize). Tonight, I sat in a restaurant for 2.5 hours with colleagues of mine from Kharkiv, Ukraine. I swear the same drum track played for the full 2.5 hours. My breaking point was when I heard the same 4/4 drum track being used for someone's version of Dave Brubeck's "Take Five."
:)
Back a few decades ago when I lived in Charlotte, there was a local band there that had keyboards, guitar, drums, vocals, but the bass lines were prerecorded. I never went to see them; I didn't see the point.
Robert Glasper Trio - Stella by Starlight
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I-VY-zs2eiY
Wow. I had not heard of Glasper prior to this. Very tasteful. I'll need to listen to him some more.
While in Ukraine during the last 2-weeks, I had the opportunity to see to see the guys in the Youtube videos below in concert as part of a cultural experience provided by one of the Universities hosting my colleague and me. After the concert, I got interested in the "bandura" which is a Ukrainian folk instrument that's sort of like a zither and/or lute and started asking some questions about it to my host in Kharkiv who is a faculty at a University on the area and is blind (I only share that because it's a critical part of the story).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEs-lrdfqik (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEs-lrdfqik) Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSzJJG4IhRM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSzJJG4IhRM) Queen – The Show Must Go On
One question was sufficient to open the door and have then take us to a local workshop where people (many with disabilities) were making the instrument. The body of the bandura I was told is usually made from sycamore, cherry, maple, or red willow and is typically carved from a single piece of wood with a scraper that looks like a large, thick single edge razor blade. The treble nut and pin collar are made from maple or beech, and the sound board is spruce. On the banduras I saw 15-55 or 60 steel strings were used, the lower ones wound with brass, or bronze.
The history of the instrument dates back many years with the persons who played it historically being individuals who were blind. After visiting the shop, my host took me to the monument pictured in the photo below. If you'll notice the bandura depicted is broken. When I asked my colleague why that was the case she told me the following story.
In the early 1930's when Ukraine was part of Russia and Stalin was in power, the official state line on all artists was that they were subversive and needed to be removed from society. Bandura players were considered tripley dangerous because the bnadura was a uniquely Ukrainian instrument and Soviet State did not want it known that it had a relatively large number of persons who were blind. In 1932, on the order of Stalin, the Soviet authorities called on all Ukrainian bandura players to attend a congress in Kharkiv. Those that arrived were taken outside the city and were all put to death.
Today, disability groups in Ukraine, especially those for persons who are blind have embraced the bandura and are attempting to help it make a comeback by both producing them once again and learning to play the instrument.
This song is an absolute blast.

Very interesting story on the bandura, Brian; thanks.
And dark. I read Brian's post yesterday, but it stayed with me all evening. I had actually heard part of that before, but I think it was so disturbing that I blocked it out.
Apparently, the bandura made it to America too. This Vega mandolin is from 1913, and as the label proclaims, they made bandurrias (sp.?) too. I found it in the attic of an old garage, its top crushed. Seemed like a worthy project. I used it for a short time in an 1860's period-social band called The String-Tyme Minstrels. We used to do living history and Civil War re-enactment engagements as the village band. Wonder what those guys are up to these days?
Sorry for the ramble... I'm not really listening to anything today. Woke up with a headache this morning, and fought my way through playing at church, now I'm binge-watching the last few episodes of "I Dream of Jeannie" ::)

Listening to the greatest radio station in Milwaukee (WMSE, they play everything from Little Jimmy Dickens to Funkadelic to Zappa and all points in between), anyhow I heard this song and said to my self:
"Self I says, I have never heard this Yes song before"
Well turns out it wasn't Yes, it was Star Castle playing Lady of the Lake.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=fwbZ0m73B3E (https://youtube.com/watch?v=fwbZ0m73B3E)
The lead singer Terry Luttrell was the original singer for REO Speedwagon AND it turns out that the original bassist of Star Castle - Gary Strater owned himself a very nice Alembic... seen in this short clip.

Irish Medley (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6feVvCdeis) - Prairie Home Companion
We really could utilize a
Like button nicely on this web page... I am sure adding something like that could be arduous, but boy would it make things simpler for me.
Apparently I have a difficult time just listening and enjoying, I feel compelled to comment and accentuate the obvious....
That Chris Thile, I love his energy and the way he kinda looks like a muppet on stage, yet a muppet with absolutely mad skills. And the whole PHC band, the whole PHC show has taken on a new skin and become better than it was with Garrison at the helm (now offense, I love him also).
But just a
Like button would keep my mania in check....
In the meantime I found this version of Nickel Creek's Lighthouse Tale, a beautiful song as originally recorded, with lyrics that choke me up every time I hear them... this is an extended live version with an outro that punctuates the pain and heartbreak. And boy is that band looking young! It is not a professional recording by any means but the performances crescendoing ending has such energy that it could still be impactful with no sound at all.
Enjoy:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=BVFWgWCvQD8 (https://youtube.com/watch?v=BVFWgWCvQD8)
No question, Chris Thile is a once-in-a-generation (or longer?) musical mind, and the PHC band is in very good hands. I do often wonder how the larger core audience of Prairie Home Companion is taking to life after Garrison Keillor though. Chris' sense of humor, while dry like GK's, can also be a bit of a high-wire act.
I'd vote for a like button too, but I generally like all you folks anyway. ;D
Ever since Hot Tuna came up in this thread last week, I just can't seem to get enough of Casady's bass playin'.
At risk of over-posting, here's "Water Song" as played in 1973 on #72-001... https://youtu.be/AOOQ1woZWQY
...does anybody know if that's Mr. W. just behind the stage there?
Sorry, no - I love Thile as a musician, but PCH is NOT PCH without Garrison. "News From Lake Woebegone" was the heart & soul of the show!
Peter
Can't over-post the Water Song, kinda synonymous with Hot Tuna for me.... That version is certainly eye brow raising! ;D
I always thought Stratus was a Billy Cobham tune... nice hearing Bolin's live version - then my uneducated self just found out that Bolin played on Cobham's album.
I always seem to learn new things.
The Lighthouse Tale was nice; thanks!
While Like buttons can have positive effects, they can also have negative effects. The mods have discussed this question in the past, and decided that the negative effects were something that we didn't want.
So in lieu of likes, comments will do nicely.

...do a little melding of styles and - I LOVE my job! ;D
*purely a guess on my part, but it's likely Jerry picked up this tune from Bill Monroe, while Del was in the band... that would've been like 1962-63.

Went to the Minnesota Bluegrass Fall Harvest Jam this past weekend to listen to Bluegrass players from all over the upper Midwest and hear a favorite bluegrass group of mine from the Czech Republic that has played several house concerts at my place and was headlining the festival...the Malina Brothers. The surprise of the weekend was Tony Trischka showing up and playing a good part of the first set with the Malina Brothers band.

Nice Oregon video.
Well, I got the RAM upgraded, I got the OS upgraded, I got the browser upgraded - and now the fool machine says "No Audio Output Devise Installed". So I can watch the vids, I just can't hear them >:(

New Galactic Cowboys and Sons of Apollo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK2fbpIOG3s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_1N8kVYfkE
I really enjoyed the Sons of Apollo -
Is one of the guitarists necks a continuously fretted stainless steel, ala John McVie?
<edit>
So the side bar on YouTube wanders and meanders and can lead us astray.... after the Sons of Apolo I watched several more videos and ended up here - Norah Jones covering Black Hole Sun.
In an odd way it reminds me of Bill Murray's lounge singer act, but her creative talent is nothing to laugh at.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=XbQ08Ixczvo
Just listened to the Grisman tune; nice afternoon interlude.
The fretless fingerboard on Ron Thal's doubleneck is called "imetal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXQZc0JBrbw)". Here's another video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePt2KhXdhM8) with another of the same model guitar but with different paint.
Sons of Apollo has some well known players. Supposedly a full time band and not another one off project.
I really like Sons Of Apollo. There's a stellar lineup of musicians there. Have you checked out the song "Lost In Oblivion" on the album?

Well, there's actually a medical basis. I've been having trouble sleeping and while I don't think I have full on apnea, my sleep doctor suggested that I might have a touch of it and playing didgeridoo would help. I did some research and found out that oboe strengthens the same muscle areas, so it seemed like it was worth a shot.
Well, awright! I got my bookmarks back, I got my sound working, and I can join in again!

That is just the beauty of this thread.... so many flavors that are new to me and each one delicious in it's own way.
Sons of Apollo to Peter Rowan. Both of these have expanded my listening circle and have brought joy.

Hard to go wrong with Rowan/Rice... :)
I've been so wrapped up in Christmas programs that I haven't listened recreationally to much of anything for the past two weeks. While it was great fun, the all-original "Nine Lessons & Carols" set our Christmas Band did took up all my available space. ;D

Listening to the radio on the way home I heard a country song that somehow my mind associated with a Rush song.... this one- A Far Cry.
One could say this song is an easy/ safe song for theses guys - watching this brought a slight tinge knowing they won't tour anymore...

Intermezzo & Tarantella for Double Bass & Piano by Reinhold Gliere{I bought the sheet music in November & just finished up Intermezzo..now on to Tarantella "Gulp!!"} Just wish I had 10 hrs daily devoted to work on it. But now since I'm on vacation....heh! heh! heh!
Zac Brown Band, from a couple-three years ago "Quiet Your Mind" : https://youtu.be/aF-i6sVP1HY
This tune has a very interesting twist in the time signature at 2:01... I'm not really sure how to count it. (12 or 6/8 ?) The emphasis is in an odd place.
The emphasis sounds to me to be on the downbeat, a six note phrase beginning on each downbeat. The first six note phrase begins on the three of the scale; thus 3-1-2-3-1-2. The next phrase is 3-4-3-3-2-1. The third is 6-5-4-3-4-5. The last is 6-3-2-4-3-2, where the 6 is below the 1. Or that's my guess in listening to it phrase by phrase; I haven't tried to play it.
Thanks for your ears Dave. ;)
I actually have tried it. The tune is in C# / Db, which adds a little to the headgame, but it's just so irresistible. For whatever reason ZBB records virtually everything a half-step flat or sharp... I've often wondered if J.D. Hopkins tuned his bass up or down, or just played them at standard pitch.

Feeling nostalgic - taking a quick trip through my past:
Vanessa Davis Band (https://youtu.be/-fsL0-kfg1g) (I was their equipment manager & monitor mixer '80-'82)
Big Twist & The Mellow Fellows (https://youtu.be/Z8o3iohUoBc) (I was their stage manager most of '84)
Big Shoulders (https://youtu.be/jyvyHc0KONg) (Never worked for them, but bass & drums were from VDB, and I did sound numerous times for keys & guitar with Lonnie Brooks, and for harmonica with Skid City)
Peter
"Catfish John" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GfYV3db0aM) done by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band w/Alison Krauss, Jerry Douglas, and Randy Scruggs.
And a little more Twist (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yguIN0DU_w).
Peter
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band with Alison Krauss was nice. Thanks.
Ron Thal at a guitar show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK3VvjTZh00). Can't believe I watched the whole thing. But it was interesting and entertaining, and I picked up a few ideas along the way.
Much better video of his fretless neck that we were talking about recently.
And an interesting approach to thinking of "lengths of string" and his use of a thimble on his right hand little finger to change the length of a string while playing.
OK, I think we've all heard this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX5IEd15u5A) once or twice - but try to mix Steve & Neil down in your ears and concentrate on Greg Reeves; like The Dude's rug, he really tied the room together!
Peter (Who by no means wants to downplay a classic "Oh, yeah, a-hole - listen to this!!" guitar duel, but....)
Tony Rice - "Song for a Winter's Night"...
https://youtu.be/aI5o5QEpewE
...seems appropriate.
I love that version of Catfish John. I think I spoke to it in this thread before. It's so - perfect.
And any Lightfoot song done by Tony Rice (or Gordon Lightfoot for that matter!) is always a pleasure. Thanks!
Yeah man, I'm all about Gordon, but his original "Song for a Winter's Night" was a little over-produced. To be fair though, I might not have thought that if I hadn't heard Tony's interpretation first.
I saw Gordon Lightfoot on tour a few years ago and though he appeared frail, that was one fantastic show. What a pro. As far as I know, he's still touring too.
For that matter, I wonder how Tony Rice is... what the heck, here's another Rice take on a Lightfoot tune. https://youtu.be/IsUJGTsNXOA
There are a couple of versions of Song for a Winters Night. Columbia rereleased it with extra strings at one point which made a hash of it. But regardless the best thing to happen to Gordon Lightfoot might just be Tony Rice. That tune you posted is an obscure one. There's another one i like that's a bit obscure - 10 degrees and getting colder, or something like that that Tony sang with the New South.
Gord is still kicking - he's about to do a series of shows to close Massey Hall here in Toronto when it closes for renovations this year. He's very frail, and very short - not like his younger days.
Weirdly appropriate this morning, except we haven't gotten up past 0° yet!
"Ten Degrees and Getting Colder" featuring a very young Tony Rice with Ricky Skaggs and even younger Jerry Douglas. And on bass, Bobby Slone. (yes, he's playing it left-handed... freaks me out every time!)
https://youtu.be/nikO4Yls52Y
And just for Coz, another Lightfoot tune rendered by Alison Krauss with Tony on guitar.
https://youtu.be/B1JtQxWEH2s
*incidentally hankster, I chose "Whispers of the North" not as much for its obscurity, but because of the harmony singer... a very sweet lady named Kathy Chiavola you don't hear much about. Incredible vocalist and songwriter. I had the pleasure of filling in on bass with her band for a short time back in the Summer of 2000. Never forget it.
Thanks for all the Gordon Lightfoot. As a result of the first few mentioned in here, I pulled out the double vinyl copy of Gord's Gold that I inherited from my dad. I believe he bought it new im '75 or '76. Sounds of my childhood!

My Dad was an orchestral musician at one point, and army band. He's a Beethoven fan so I grew up with more classical music around than anything else, but a lot less music than you'd think as he wasn't playing anymore ( no money in music, how things stay the same...) Ode To Joy has to be one of the most perfectly realized expressions in music; it truly is an ode to joy, and can prompt tears...
It is very sad that "there is no money in music" !!!
Talent put on the shelf, many visions never realized !!
I remember the late Greg Lake's recollections of forming King Crimson,
He said, Ian McDonald came from a military brass band- until that time, Ian had never played in a rock band !!
Ian's immense talent & contribution to "In the Court of the Crimson King" ,
well, realistically ,
what more could I say about that album that hasn't been said already !!!!!
Heading out to coach my high school cross country ski team...and it's -7 F at the moment. Needed a 4 shot espresso coffee and Railroad Earth (Last of the Outlaws and Live at Red Roads) to get me going this morning.

Not listening, but reading. A short series of comments from Derek Trucks (http://www.musicradar.com/news/derek-trucks-top-5-tips-for-guitarists) on playing music.
In keeping with the Gordon Lightfoot trend last week, here's my friends, Kenny and Amanda Smith with their take on "Wherefore & Why".
https://youtu.be/GqOduqSNflo
I was actually looking for the title cut of their last album, "Unbound" but couldn't find it. I would just about as soon listen to 'Manda sing as I would to draw breath. :D
A classic - The Country Gentlemen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11SOWhsawFw).
And bonus points to anyone (except Gregory) who can tell me why this vid is funny......
Peter
Well, I didn't see anything funny about the video, though the picture didn't match the audio; but maybe you're referring to the unexpected nature of this historical antecedent (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl8hU_zUYvA).
The Country Gentlemen recording is a nice performance of the tune; an old favorite that I hadn't heard in quite a while.
;)
;D
And Dave hits it in one!
There were actually 100 (on the nose) Country Gentlemen over the decades (take that, Mayall & Zappa!). None of them, however, were Bill Monroe or Doc Watson (a picture of whom is the "video"). Can't help but wonder what the poster was thinking.
Peter
Largely because of that recording of "Fox on the Run", the tune became so solidified into the bluegrass lexicon, that even these days it's like yelling "Freebird" out to a bar band. You have to do it... and you better not hose it up. ;)
If someone starts yelling "Freebird", I thought you were supposed to ask the bouncer to remove the offending overly-inebriated patron; hadn't occurred to me that you would actually play the song.
Last band I did sound for would start every night with "OK, you don't need to yell "Freebird" - we're gonna play it; just later in the night". And did.
Peter (who has heard many a version of "FOTR" and still thinks the Gents did it best - and Manfred did it worst)

I should have mentioned - I would
never yell for "Freebird"!
BTW, have I mentioned lately that the intro to this (http://youtu.be/l45f28PzfCI) is hands-down the most perfect guitar solo ever recorded?
Peter (who's old enough that he yells for "Whipping Post" instead......)
And while I'm here.....
In July '04 I had the privilege of seeing Peter Rowan & Tony Rice at the Big Top Chautauqua in Bayfield, WI (2nd row center) with Billy Bright on mandolin & his then-wife Bryn (now again Davies) on bass.
This from May of that year; this about the point in the show (https://youtu.be/ITNNKA8d2tg) where the presence of the Lovey & Charming Mrs. Cowboy was the only thing that kept me from crawling onto the stage and lying in a puddle of awe (and yes, perhaps lust) at her feet.
Peter
I saw that particular ensemble too... and I have to agree, quite the experience. I'm pretty sure there is a recorded album of Rowan & Rice from this time too Coz... I'll check my sources. I miss Tony Rice a lot these days. :(
Here's some local boys he ran with a few years ago, doing "Whipping Post":
https://youtu.be/6eIcvGtCL4c
It's called You Were There For Me, and yes, I have it.

Yeah, that was it! Can't remember for the life of me who I gave it to.
I had a funny backstage experience with Rice once, while he was doing that stint with the Mountain Heart guys. I was in the green room waiting for the guys I was playing with (Hershel Sizemore Band) and Tony was waiting to be called out to finish the big set finale' with Mountain Heart. That old D-28 of his was laying on a red leather sofa right next to me between us, and he was in dire need of a cup of coffee. As luck would have it, I had already scoped out the hospitality suite for just that item.
(yeah, I got to play it) ;D
That was a fairly short-lived version of Mountain Heart, but those guys killed it. The band is still around, but with almost completely turned over personnel.
Thanks for the Summertime, Peter; love watching Tony play.

Here's a tribute to Michael Hedges, the first 3:30 is mostly Andy McKee tuning his harp guitar, as well as talking about how he first learned of Michael.
The playing seems to carry Michael's spirit well...

A classic guitar composition, one that I've found fascinating since the '70s, is Asturias (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inBKFMB-yPg) by Issac Albeniz. Here it is played by Ana Vidovic. Watch and listen to what the first and second fingers on the right hand are doing while the thumb handles the melody line.
Thanks for the Andy McKee! He was one of the players that inspired me to explore solo instrumental music.

Thanks for the Danny Gatton; nice version if Harlem Nocturne.
I haven't listened to Danny in awhile; almost forgot how great he was...his sun medley on Cruising deuces has the most amazing solo that floors me every time I hear it; I'll have to take it down to the workshop tomorrow...

Hey, that bass player looks familiar!
Peter
So let's do this.
For some time now the main thing playing in my playlist was Vulfpeck. And right now I am listening to the song I want to play soon, **1 for 1, DiMaggio** so that is on my playlist now.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8fWZ9FjIK4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8fWZ9FjIK4)
Got lost on YouTube again and stumbled upon this, haven't listened to it in ages and here it is live - Tubular Bells:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=l7MY_cdUL1E
Two of my favorites (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xovw2_nMRo)in an unexpected pairing.
And The Nighhawks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu1iS4WjT1g&list=RDqu1iS4WjT1g&t=14); I've always said (well, if not always, at least since '81 when I worked a show with them the first time) that harmonicists fall into 3 groups - John Popper, Mark Wenner, and Everyone Else. And of course Jimmy Thackery does pick a little.
Peter
I saw the Nighthawks open for George Thorogood once a long time ago. I thought the Nighthawks were far better, and Thackery as well.
I've never been a fan of harmonica; maybe one song, but not a whole show. I guess my ears just always found that sound a bit harsh.
The B.B. King and Jerry Reed was nice.
Part of why I like Mark's harp playing so much is his tone, Dave; he doesn't (or didn't in '80-'84 when they shared a couple of bills with acts* I worked for) have that harshness. Part of that may be that he was running his Shure Dispatcher "Green Bullet" mic into a daisy-chained series of (IIRC) tweed Twin, brownface Twin, and blackface Twin Reverb. But he also has a smooth soulfulness that sets him apart, as well.
*The guys in one of said acts - Big Twist & The Mellow Fellows, who I posted a little while ago - invariably referred to that other guy as "That non-playin', non-singin' mother-F***-er George Thorogood!"
Peter (who does like a good harp - but none as much as Mark's)

Some sources claim there are three bass tracks, I can certainly hear two at the beginning.
Enjoy!

I have the vague recollection of Shakey Ground being in the set list of some band or other I was in ages ago; however, it would have been the Delbert McClinton version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7JCWoxtGLs).
Awesome version, David!

Good stuff Dave & Coz... nice Saturday morning wake-up music. Boy, you just never know who you'll see with Sam Bush. :)
And I've never heard that cut of "The Weight" before - Wow!
Speaking of Sam and anything-goes special guests... anybody remember Bekka Bramlett?
https://youtu.be/_7KuR1VBbkA
Peter; yeah, love the vibe of No Woman; and the duet with Sam and Sharon takes it even further.
David, nice Sam Bush and friends, makes me look forward to the summer festivals.
Peter, the Aretha/Duane is cool; I have that on vinyl somewhere and haven't heard it in ages...thanks!

Stan with the New Barbarians - not the greatest audio but his solo (5:00) brings back fond memories. My brother was a huge Stones fan so went to see the New Barbarians when they came to town... after the show he couldn't stop talking about the bass player! He then managed to get a bootleg cassette of them and this song got played over and over and over and over.

Rob; that's a great tune. And it's an example of why I, for one, thought rather highly of the Dead's studio recordings. There's a lot going on in that song, yet it all blends together quite nicely. Love Phil's bass line, and Jerry's playing. Thanks for posting; hadn't listened to it in a while.
Peter; I didn't realize (or perhaps just don't remember) that he wrote that song. And I don't recall hearing his version before. Very nice!
Tom Waits, ain't nobody like him. I believe the first song of his that I heard was Get Behind the Mule... and then dashed to the record store.
Here is a version of Gov't Mule doing Get Behind The Mule...
Love the ending on this.

And not to put any bad juju out into the karmic wheel - but I find myself wondering what people will say about Warren when his times comes. Besides performing his own music so well he also takes other musicians material (from vast genres) and covers their songs in such a humble and respectful manner.
My favorite thing from Warren. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKG6mbIp1pI)

Stringdusters; He's Gone (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afIPPHs3zMg).
Good stuff on here today fellas... I've kinda' been in a recreational listening slump lately. Even bored with everything in the dusty stack in my shop. This probably sounds like a stereotypical thing to post in here, but I wish I had some Grateful Dead stuff on CD. Dang YouTube is burning through my mobile data plan with a vengeance. But this Phil Lesh guy is really making me THINK.
With the studio albums, one approach is to start in the middle and work your way out. Start with Mars Hotel; then Blues for Allah and Wake of the Flood; then Terrapin Station and American Beauty, then Shakedown Street and Working Man's Dead; then Go To Heaven and Aoxomoxoa; then In The Dark and Anthem of the Sun; then Built to Last and The Grateful Dead. I like this approach because my favorite studio stuff is in the middle.
Interesting approach, Dave. When asked for an entry point, I usually ask if the questioner would be more interested in freak-out improvisation (in which case I recommend starting where I did, with Live/Dead); or careful songcraft (Workingman's Dead & American Beauty, of course). If they're not sure, or say "Both", I point them at Europe '72 - two of three of which, I realize, avoid the original question how to approach the studio stuff.
Tonight I'm doing a themed thing:

Quick story about Warren alone and his acoustic guitar. I have been a Gov't Mule fan for a long time. My wife didn't understand... ::)
We went to Summerfest to see the Avett Brothers, Brandi Carlisle opened for them, prior to her taking the stage was Warren- I wanted to get there early not to miss that, my wife (who often times is challenged with being punctual- I do love her to the moon and back - just sayin') Was still rolling her eyes, 'Warren shwarren, Gov't Mule, blah blah blah'.
So we did get there early and Warren played for about an hour, just him and his acoustic guitar. Needless to say at the end of the night she spoke more about Warren then anyone else! 8) :D ;D
Me? Well I knew all along that Warren was The Man, but admittedly I left rather impressed with the Hanseroth twins that were backing Brandi.
All in all it was an absolutely pleasant evening of fine music. And my wife has since gotten two of Warren Haynes solo CD's!
This is different; and interesting. An eight string, fan fret, classical guitar, with a spike (like a cello) that sits on a resonance box, so that the instrument is held much like a cello. Regular tuning with a B below the low E, and an A above the high E.
One thing I found really interesting is how, as he explains it, the weight of the left arm affects left hand fingering, and how the freedom of movement of the right arm affects thumb and finger picking.
Here he talks about the guitar:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si6IetuR2fQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si6IetuR2fQ)
And here he is playing it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccAp0O5iHTo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccAp0O5iHTo)
That is really interesting! Thanks for sharing.
What an amazing guitar.
Every nice, David. Neat guitar and set up. Beautiful sound and tune. Thanks!
Man - I can't even get the hang of 6!

My buddy John over at Bluegrass Today turned me onto Foxes & Fossils yesterday, and pointedly, did not say anything else... kinda' like a musical version of ring & run. ;D

OK, I also clicked on a few on the sidebars; didn't find any I didn't enjoy. And I like the name "Foxes & Fossils".
On a similar naming note, there's a blues band locally here called Johnny & the Boomers; John's about 40, the rest of the band are in their 60s and/or 70s. They're pretty good - but F&F are a lot prettier....

I can't remember if I might have posted this here before, but I don't think I have.
This is a BBC TV movie, and at the same time, it's a performance of Beethoven's 3rd symphony. It's a regular movie with characters, plot, dialog, costumes, cinematography; and the orchestra are among the characters as well.
It's a real orchestra playing period correct instruments; and it's a portrayal of the original orchestra's sight reading the 3rd symphony for the first time, among other plot elements; a private premier of the piece for one of Beethoven's benefactors. It's based on the actual event, including the "mistake" by the horn player.
The piece itself was revolutionary for its time, as is shown in the comments of the listeners and orchestra members.
In my view, the movie enhances one's appreciation for the piece. And it's a wonderful performance of a great piece of music.

Dave you are correct, that movie did enhance the appreciation of the music, it drew me in and the characters reactions really exemplified what music is, excitement, melancholy, joy, etc.... so much more than the notes on the paper. I felt as if I was there experiencing how transformative that very moment in time was.
Wonderful.
Bravo!

I've been listening to a lot of jazz. I've recently discovered Spotify, and the "Coffee Table Jazz" station. Lots of cool stuff on there and lots of music that is just rhythm section stuff (bass, piano, drums). It's inspired me to go back and work on my jazz chops after ignoring that stuff for over a decade.
Glocke, Jazz is great, fun to listen to and play...for a bass player it's a continuous improvised solo...love it! :)

I live in radio wasteland, Greg; go down the dial & it's rap, bro-country, Bible-thumping; rap, bro-country, Bible-thumping......
We do have an NPR news station & an NPR classical station, a progressive talk station, and a bad "oldies" station ("Greatest Hits of the '60s, '70s, and '80s" - as if that was one thing) with way too much disco (in other words any at all...)
But when I get the cab about halfway to the nearest train station (17.5 mi), and sometimes closer, I pick up an NPR jazz station. I find myself sticking with it more & more rather than checking to see if WXRT is coming in. I still appreciate jazz more than I enjoy it, but it's growing on me - and the more blues there is in the jazz, the happier I am.
Peter
Almost stuck this in the other thread... the drummer one.
Buddy Rich Big Band performing Birdland (the breakdown and soprano solo made me smile).
https://youtube.com/watch?v=pcEKAWZ1Nbk (https://youtube.com/watch?v=pcEKAWZ1Nbk)
As the father of a drummer, I collect drummer jokes; for example:
About a week after Buddy died, one of his band members called his house & asked to speak to him.
Mrs. Rich said "I'm sorry, but Buddy's dead."
The next day he calls and asks for Buddy again.
Again, Mrs. Rich said "I'm sorry, but Buddy's dead."
On the third day, he does it again.
She says "Why can't you get it through your head that Buddy's dead???"
"Oh, I know he's dead; I just like hearing it."
I'm sure we're all shocked to think that anyone could be an amazing player and also an a-hole, right?
Peter (Who did really enjoy the cut!)
Nice Birdland; thanks.
So at my current work position I have to wear hearing protection, usually just ear plugs... somedays I double up with ear muffs over the ear plugs. Wearing hearing protection creates an awesome environment for humming to yourself, the bass response vibrates in the skull - great fun when working 12 hours.
Unfortunately I sometimes get 'trapped' as the rythmn of the machines kind of dictates the tunes in my head.
Anyhow this one pops in and I haven't listened to it in years, so hurried home to YouTube it.
Stanley - Together Again.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=DL7nFsDFdSI
Funny back story on this, in high school my younger sister was in the Pom-Pom squad. I thought that THIS song would be great for a Pom-Pom routine as it has a very defined steady beat. God bless her, she listened and said she would suggest it. In hindsight the medley really isn't conducive to a high school sideline routine. :-D
Walk Off the Earth "You Don't Know How It Feels" - tribute to the late Tom Petty:
https://youtu.be/M7XdnYiQKjQ
Nice Tom Petty cover. :)
I listened to Fleetwood Mac's 1997 "The Dance" at work today, and this one stuck in my head. I could have sworn McVie was playing a fretless... in the video it's his quilted maple Tobias Classic 4. I suppose the live album could be, and most likely is, playback.
https://youtu.be/HWNZmMhBwhs
Once again he displays that uncanny ability to play exactly what the song calls for, and not one note more.
Captain Beefheart "Doc at the radar station" I just bought a new copy as I can't find the old one; someone probably borrowed it and fell in love...an interviewer once said he wanted to be buried with this album and I understand that.
Well jeez Tony, I have led a rather sheltered life in the mid-west... of course being a Zappa fan I have heard of Captain Beefheart, but never really listened to him.
This evening I sat with headphones on and listened.
That was truly a treat.
Here is a link for anyone interested:

Well, Tony got me thinking over on the other thread, so -
Here's Lorne (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBWbKJVaZhA) and Bill (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJrIluya10Y).
Peter
I vote for Bill!
:-D
I have listened to Charlyn's Dive (https://youtu.be/8j0ogAQJqog) several times today. I just can't get over the pretty pretty tone you get, George!
Yes, very nice, George!
Now I'm listening to Geri Allen... Holdin' Court
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UctmxFfMo2Q
I'm curious; in George's video, it starts with a zoom out and ends with a zoom in. It's been a number of years since I made a video, and I'm wondering what level of software do you need to make these zoom movements in editing.
I imagine the capabilities of video editing software would have improved significantly since my last attempt. Are such tools available in free software, or is an investment in something more high-end required? And can you do things like zoom in to one side of the frame and then pan across to the other side?
Just curious.
Well, I won't be listening to it much, but as I have mentioned, son #3 is a drummer - learned his craft in my house, in fact.
Guess whose son is getting a 10" hand drum for his 2nd birthday in couple weeks? ;D

Pauldo, you will hear that 'Trout mask Replica' is the pinnacle, and it is in a way, but 'Doc at the Radar Station" is another...check out 'Lick my decals off Baby' though; maybe my favorite of all, but don't listen to it drunk; the musicians are often playing different time signatures against each other; hard to get a bead on the beat..Tony

Maybe a not-so-weird coincidence; a guitar-playing coworker mentioned this yesterday evening. I assume it must have been a recent story. I'll have to listen to the whole album up in the shop.

They're going to be right here in Roanoke on the 30th... http://www.jeffcenter.org/hottuna ...having played on that very stage myself, the Jefferson Center is a fantastic venue, and as of now, I don't have a gig that Friday night. I'm thinking this is probably going to be a game-changer for me on the musical journey. Kind of like a required reading assignment. ;D
And from the sidebar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ucti8H6cCZk)of Gregory's 1st link, perhaps the prettiest Strat I've ever seen - plus some nice close-ups of 72-01 in action.
Peter
That was a great concert, Coz. 8)
They must have filmed that same venue for a couple days... there is a point during "Water Song" on 3/22/73 that I wonder if maybe that's Mr. W. just behind the stage.
https://youtu.be/AOOQ1woZWQY
And yes, that bass sounds incredible! :)
A little Frank Zappa on Brass (https://youtu.be/_9GZCJbfq6I) is starting the week off nicely!
Peaches En Regalia is the one Zappa tune I've played in a band. We only had three players, and I was trying to cover more than just the bass part (though on a four string bass), and with results that were often somewhat less than cleanly delivered. But in the bar where we played every month, it was the favorite of the regulars.
That tuba!!! Not just the solo part, he was killing it. Made me giggle.
Heard this song and it brought me joy (intro is a juxtaposition of what lies ahead).

I saw the B52s at Red Rocks once, it was a total bast! 🌞😎🎶
B-52's were so outta left field, like DEVO too; so cool to see such early video...
was just listening to Pere Ubu '20 years in a Montana missile silo' which is the latest; it's a good one and more guitar than usual for them...
I could have sworn Katey Sagal was in the B-52s. I do remember somebody had big hair. ::)
While working in the shop this week, I've been listening to a couple volumes of Gordon Lightfoot. I don't like picking favorites from Gord, but "The Circle Is Small" won the repeat button contest yesterday. :)

Nice version of Rain and Snow; very nice voice. And I can see where painting each fingernail a different color could help with chord fingering.
Oh, and some nice picking in the solo piece!
Very nice, Gregory! Didn't/doesn't that fiddle player work with Sara Jarosz, too?

Listening to a lot more Tauk.
Well... for reasons passing understanding... the guys want me to learn another new 'featuring our bass player' tune for the second set this year. I love my background/support/anchorman job with Harwell-Grice Band, and would just as soon never be out front, but I love playing with these guys too, so in the spirit of being a team-player I've agreed to work out another tune for the second set.
My go-to has been Robert Johnson's "Last Fair Deal Gone Down", but I'm working on Lowell George's "Willin'" for my second-set tune. Granted, it ain't the most wholesome message, but I think our core fans will dig it. ;D

Here's a band with two bass players and a drummer. The video also has keyboards and/or midi as backing tracks. The lines they've written work well together and include a lot of tapping.

I've been throwing combs at the computer screen, and it seems to be augmenting each listen. Enjoy.
John McLaughlin's final tour with Jimmy Herring (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPWa9F4UBQQ). This video is of the entire show, which consists of Herring's band first, then McLaughlin's, then the combined bands. The combined bands start at 2:17:00, which is where I started. I'm about 28 minutes in, and so far it's wonderful. Very good video, but for some reason the sound is a bit low; so crank your stereo.
Another Omnific song, this one has a guest musician- another bassist!
https://youtube.com/watch?v=t_d3osflZTQ
Wonder if they have a midi setup on their instrument(s) for the 'keyboard' sound?
I watched a live cut from a bar. It doesn't look like the keyboard sound comes from their instruments. Rather, they appear to be playing to keyboard parts that have been recorded or programmed ahead of time.

Just finished watching this interview with John McLaughlin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VlldJhIFSE) from a little over two years ago. It's absolutely wonderful. He speaks with reverence about the music he was listening to when he was young, like Miles, Coltrane, and Hendrix. Just wonderful listening to him talk about music.
The Dandy Livingston was nice; thanks!
George Benson, "This is Jazz: Vol. 9".
Alluring from the start, especially with the fleet fingered runs, all implied to have be tickling that old L-5 with the old school Charlie Christian pickup on the cover. Wha-HA! Magical hands let free to roam the whole fingerboard. And while music is subjective, surely, this is the George Benson catalog that I prefer to drool over rather than his successful foray into cool jazz and covers, as adept as he may have been/be at that particular interface of R&B and jazz.
Regardless of mien, Mr. Benson is an incendiary, dynamic musical force who is always ready to astonish.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbbtzMRrFNU&list=PL7wbUZPGupob-w__mkzJrVeCpId7VqGJn
The Benson is, indeed, nice - but that's a 1st-gen ES-150, not an L-5.
Peter
Hiya, Cozmik cowboy,
Thanks for the clarification! You got me, I can't easily distinguish many big body Gibson jazz boxes from each other by sight because I'm pretty ignorant there, and from being sucked into just seeing their great aesthetics, because they all look pretty great to me!
Although, the Switchmaster and Tal Farlow models are mostly pretty easy to spot, even for me. Mostly.
But I am glad you echoed the applause for The George Benson.
Cheers,
-Zut

Hands down, Dave... that's the wildest thing I've seen in a while. :o
I've had to make myself lay aside Dick's Picks, Hot Tuna, Fleetwood Mac, and well...
everything bass in an effort to focus on guitar. I have a gig next weekend playing guitar but I've been so consumed with learning new things on bass over the past few months that I have almost forgotten how to 'speak' in guitar. Really feel like I've turned a corner too...
Regardless, I'm cramming for a test, so it's a steady diet of flat-picking guitar this week. Hopefully, I'll get some osmosis action going. As always, Norman Blake is my primary source of inspiration.
https://youtu.be/UEkVkJax2Co
I'll tell you guys more about the gig later. Think of the "Hot Rize" alter-ego, "Red Knuckles & the Trailblazers"... it's a lot like that. ;D
Thanks for the Norman Blake!

Mark O'Connor, Sam Bush, Tony Rice, Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas, and Mark Shatz at Merlefest (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc34ThH7srk).
Peter
Well this may be a first for me here on the Listening Thread... I'm fairly sure I was at that show, Coz. I'll ask the fellas later today, but according to several of the comments this was from the 1992 Merle Watson Memorial Festival. (later named MerleFest) I did see this super-group there in either '92 or '93. It wasn't long after Bela Fleck's "Drive" album came out, which all these guys had played on.
They were right at the limit on that one - how any of them had strings left is beyond me. ThrashGrass. ;D
Thanks for the Whitewater, Peter.

memories...
I'm thinking that was a good bit after my time.
:)
Forwarded the Josh Smith to my usual suspects... good stuff fo-sho, but what I really dug was the nice simple pattern the drummer was playing. It was irresistible - I had to play bass to it, despite having sworn off bass for this week to devote practice time to guitar. (which is beginning to pay off...)
I'm spending almost as much time thinking up silly gags for the show. My 'character' in this upcoming gig doesn't have a speaking part... "Buford" is supposed to be an extreme introvert, only responding to the band-leader with gestures or facial expressions, often hiding behind the bass player's upright. He's kind of an amalgam of 'Slade' from Red Knuckles & the Trailblazers and a big yellow tomcat named 'Slick' who lived here for a while.

Slade's bass solo is at 2:10.

Lake Street Dive - I Want You Back
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6EPwRdVg5Ug
Really dug both the red Knuckles and the LSD - but the acronym for the latter made me think of Aliota Haynes and Jeramiah's album Lake Shore Drive.
You may recall that about 13 months ago I eulogized my friend Mick Scott. The last song on AH&J's LSD was an incredibly cheesy version of his great song "Last One Of The Night People" (which Mick hated - but happily paid the rent for about a year off the royalties.....). I went looking for it on Youtube, and also found a somewhat less cheesy take by Chris Farrell (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXgxrByxRpc) posted a week after Mick passed (Chris was one of the players at Mick's memorial concert).
Peter
Cool video, Rob; and a nice take on that tune. Oh; and interesting instrumentation. :)
I recall we've had some Lake Street videos here before; they do some nice covers. And here's their cover of the Kinks' Lola (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7_Lg5dd_9g).
Nice, David!
I saw the Kinks play that in '82 at The US Fedtival. Their set was going over and they refused to leave the stage, so in traditional fashion Bill Grahm came out and kicked them off the stage. The next morning the Grateful Dead played two full sets starting at 10 am. Ah, fun times in the desert! 😊

Working on a rendition of this Van Morrison tune with the new grass group more as done by the Allman Brothers (see video) than the original (since there is only one Van Morrison). Is sounding surprising good with mandolin and fiddle and only acoustic guitar and this version allows for some nice places for players to really stretch out.

That is my favorite Van Morrison tune of all, Brian. I had to learn it for a wedding gig a couple years back, which caused me to revisit the whole "Moondance" album... during which time I gained an enormous amount of respect for a relatively unsung bassist who improvised that line, John Klingberg. Nice to hear it faithfully executed here too. Great cover.

I never heard that song before. I know someone whom that song could be about... :o
I'm reading a John McLaughlin biography, and I'm up to 1966. The author writes very approvingly about a pop group that McLaughlin was in fronted by Duffy Power. They released several singles, which never sold.
So I just ran a search, and here's There You Go (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q08Hpe-QT-s) from 1965. This is very good for 1965. Listen to the chords McLaughlin is playing; it's jazz in a hard driving pop single. I think the whole thing works well, and I think it somewhat surprising it didn't chart.
From four days ago; Chris Thile and David Crosby. Deja Vu (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5u2EfCHReM)
More early McLaughlin. The Danny Thompson Trio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-NhESr6PDI); Danny Thompson on upright bass, Tony Roberts on sax and flute, John McLaughlin on guitar.
As I understand it, there were two BBC recordings of this group in 1967. The first recording has since been released as an album; but this one (which may be incomplete) from later in the year was apparently never released.
This is jazz, and reflects what McLaughlin was really into, rather than the recording sessions and gigs he played to pay the bills. This is a good group.
Subsequent to this, Danny Thompson was a founding member of the group Pentangle.

There's something strange about that guitar tuning. Initially I thought it was just drop D, but there's something else de-tuned in the big open strums too. ???

Rather than go back and listen again, I asked the Google. Apparently, it's EBDGAD. So it's an E minor 7-11.

They're just fantastic... I happened to meet Bridget Kearney (bassist) back when she was in Joy Kills Sorrow. At the time, she very much reminded me of Missy Raines, another one of my bass heroes. Speaking of bass-ladies, I stopped in the local music store on the way to a gig yesterday evening and ran into (of all people) Mary Huff, of Southern Culture on the Skids. Though I had met her years ago, we were introduced properly yesterday by my buddy Aaron, who runs the store. So all evening at a classic country gig, I had this quirky tune in my head... https://youtu.be/Mo4ljAFMtbY (https://youtu.be/Mo4ljAFMtbY)

Greg, you are becoming quite the Deadhead! :)
Well... I can tell you, I
am figuring out what I like and don't care for. Obviously I don't have the broad lexicon yet, but I can't seem to get enough of what Phil Lesh was doing about that time. The nicest thing is, unlike a lot of other music I love to learn, there's actually an outlet for this, creating an
incentive! ;D
Back in '83, my band and SCOTS were using the same rehearsal space at Lloyd Street Studio. They were scheduled right after us, but I never really got to know any of them well; everyone was focused on loading in and loading out as quickly as possible to make the most use of the rehearsal time.

That's a nice performance of Stratus. And the bass is much more up in the mix than in the Hancock video.

Thanks Gregory; that was one of the two versions that I used as a basis for my arrangement. It's a wonderful video.
I definitely hear it in your interpretation. Well done. :)
And yes, it's one of my faves... to me, there's always something melancholic, yet gripping about Knopfler's playing. You can't listen to it without being affected, sometimes deeply.
Yes; his playing tells a story that can indeed connect deeply.

Yesterday I was thinking about my high school friend Crazy Mike (so dubbed for his occasional institutionalizations for schizophrenia). We spent a couple of years cruising Appalachian country roads in his '64 Mercury (a serious land barge of a 4-door sedan, with a back window that went down like station wagon; putting it down & kneeling on the back seat made shooting mailboxes & road signs while driving by much easier than leaning out the passenger window. Allegedly.) One day he bought a used (read "probably hot") 8-track for it, which came with 3 tapes; we about wore them all out.
Feeling nostalgic, I've been through Sly & The Family Stone's Greatest Hits (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z_yI67ZrnM&list=PLGhr73mpwpYgu4rNx9pSnaKMkCnq856g_)and Fever Tree's eponymous debut (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz8Tc4qaIKg), and about to do Tarkus (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKNOlDtZluU&list=PL94gOvpr5yt2L8rnLwzbV9PDWyxC4xD-N).

Just FYI, Dave - Fareed is retiring from the School of Music at Northern Illinois University this month.
Peter (For whom that that info is actually pertinent, as it means no more faculty recitals.)
I watched a short instructional video of his this afternoon; I can't imagine how illuminating studying with him at NIU would have been.
A little Mothers Day music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nllWDc8_9lw).
What's that you say? I misunderstood and there's supposed to be an apostrophe in there? OK, then (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpNn1nht0_8).
But really, folks - allow me to insert a small history lesson:
Originally Mother's day was not intended as a day to honor mothers, but rather as a day for mothers to rise in anger. Here is the original Mother's Day Proclamation issued by Julia Ward Howe in 1870:
Arise, then women of this day!
Arise all women who have hearts,
Whether your baptism be that of water or of tears
Say firmly:
"We will not have questions decided by irrelevant agencies,
Our husbands shall not come to us, reeking of carnage,
for caresses and applause.
Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.
We women of one country
will be too tender of those of another country
to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs."
From the bosom of the devastated earth goes up a voice with
our own, it says 'disarm, disarm!'
The sword of murder is not the balance of justice.
Blood does not wipe out dishonor nor violence indicate possession.
As men have often forsaken the plow and the anvil at the summons of war,
let women now leave all that may be left of home
for a great and earnest day of counsel.
Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead.
Let them then solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means
whereby the great human family can live in peace,
each bearing after his own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar,
but of God.
In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask
that a general congress of women without limit of nationality,
be appointed and held at some place deemed most convenient
and at the earliest period consistent with its objects,
to promote the alliance of the different nationalities,
the amicable settlement of international questions,
and the great and general interests of peace.
Peter (Who none the less wishes a happy 'Murcin-style Mother's Day to any and all who are or who have mothers.)
And I thought it was started by the Hallmark company with the following proclamation:
Let's make money!
Me? A cynic?
Bill, tgo
Can you say "co-opted"?
Peter (Who will put his cynicism up against anyone's)

Such a natural talent, and such a tragic story.

Our video with Dead Guise from 3/10/18 :) The bass sounded a bit loud from where the Zoom camera was placed , however I love my Alembic Sound !
Despite the power failure in that entire locality that evening we still anded up with the seats and tables filled and dancers in front of the stage . It makes me really happy when the dancers show up to groove .

Sounds great, Wolf. I'm enjoying while at work today. :)
I notice lately you've been playing your upgraded Essence more often than the old Distillate or your Series basses... it sounds fantastic. Just a 'safety' thing?
I often worry about collisions with our rather spastic guitar player on similar small stages... I wouldn't sweat a(nother) little ding on my old Persuader, but I'm quite protective of my Custom.
Last night after changing the strings on my Custom fretless, to break them in, I put on the Fleetwood Mac album "Rumours" and played every track, including a couple of the out-takes.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVOYDgXAn1KJjPgLrW2Y1_yvrhDQ8JAtL
This is one of three songs that eventually became "The Chain", the only song on the album that all five members have a part in writing. John McVie's contribution of course became one of the most recognizable bass lines ever. The bass was his 'continuously fretted' Alembic Custom Series I.

Two that stuck in my head from a nice, long drive with a very old friend...
From the Wailin' Jennys- https://youtu.be/Pz91iizX6_A (https://youtu.be/Pz91iizX6_A)
And from Amanda Smith- https://youtu.be/sMPQK4dS8Mw
We've just spent a couple days together visiting and catching up. Just put her on a plane back to Southern California a few minutes ago. Feels a little like a Forrest Gump moment. (from being- just like peas and carrots to... just like that, she was gone)
:-\
:)
The Wailin' Jennys tune is nice; the timbre of their harmonies is wonderful.
After two or three hours of practicing the same song over and over, trying to get the tone and effects right, the internet offered up this, as if to show me how it's done: David Gilmour, Comfortably Numb (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqnAJ_HMtBs).

Last thing (aside from whatever was on my google radio channel) was Billy Cobham's Spectrum. Still love that album after all these years.

The China Cat cover was nice. Interestingly, the bass was very inconsistent; some notes loud, some inaudible. Is that a function of the pickup and preamp? Or are my ears just losing more frequencies?
It also seemed that each time a soloist moved towards his instrument mic to start playing, that at first they couldn't be heard, and then the FOH brought their mic up.
Other than those two points, the overall balance of the instruments seemed very good; and it was a very nice arrangement of the tune.
Still reading the John McLaughlin biography, and last night was reading that Cobham recorded Spectrum while he was still with Mahavishnu Orchestra.

I'm going to say, chalk that one up to the contrary nature of upright basses, Dave. I love 'em... no telling how much, but accurately amplifying upright basses has foiled many a player and sound-dude.
Love the Greensky Bluegrass guys though. Good work ethic there... if you're gonna' cover the Dead bluegrass-style, that's how to do it.

There he is... after all these years, I have finally found 'That Guy', and his name is Peter. ;D
I've done the old SM58 in a bar towel trick many times, and you know what - it is better than half the junk out there. One of the best contraptions I ever saw was a homemade thing that clamped to the edge of the bass and held a good ol' SM57 right in place. Still, amplifying an upright bass presents a huge problem. It's just physics man... you simply can't have something that big designed to resonate naturally anyway, on a stage with a bunch of other low frequency resonance at high gain. It's a disaster trying to happen. The bar towel (or notch filters) is just slowing it down. ;D

Agreed, so rather than trying to fight it all and swim upstream, just use an electric bass if the gig calls for it. Perhaps even an electric upright. Best of both worlds there. The feel of an upright with the control of an electric.
And to keep this on topic, right now I am listening to Unpolished by Midnite. Great reggae band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJADi9axZ4E
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJADi9axZ4E)
Actually, Gregory, the towel was to 1) make it fit without 2) scratching the bass; if it gave the notch filters an assist, I didn't even realize it....
And jwright9, "if the gig calls for it" is the key here; there times when not only is a doghouse the only sound that will work, there are times when a doghouse is the only sound that will work but it needs to be louder.

I just found some Turkish classical music using nylon string guitars with microtonal frets inserted into the board or an adjustable fretboard. Wow, I have never seen this before, movable or insertable frets on traditional instruments, but two/three string mini-frets to properly play music derived from Turkish music theory or totally movable frets applied to shim the different tunings from different classical periods to play Bach? Nuh-unh, that's a new one, and it is pretty amazing.

New River Bound has this one in the queue for this Summer.
Gregory, you've posted that one before; but it's nice to hear it again! We even had a brief discussion about how to count the measures.

More fiddle music, this time, from the bow of Rayna Gellert... "Jenny Ran Away, in the Mud, in the Night" .

Our fiddler Caleb, married his long-time sweetheart last weekend. His stand-in on fiddle with New River Bound has more of a classical violinist background, but has been doing a fantastic job making the transition to Appalachian fiddlin'. Even played for his wedding ceremony with us. So in hopes she'll stay with us a while, I've been trying to find her some of 'the good stuff'. ;)
One of the phrases in the Jenny Ran Away tune reminded me of this classic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dQ55uHYirk), covered here by the Annie Moses Band.

A book actually. "The magic strings of Frankie Presto". It's worth a read or, if you drive a lot, or have trouble sleeping, a listen.
That's a nice take on Sultans.

The Vijay Iyer piece. The trumpet at the end made for a nice resolution.
David, yes that was a nice piece by Vijay, the whole album is good if you like that kind of music. He does a nice interpretation of King Solomon's Marbles on a compilation album that came out a year or so ago.
I really like that version of Sultan's of Swing!

Another somewhat crooked tune New River Bound is working up. Our version borrows elements from both of these interpretations, yet bears little resemblance to either. It's all modal and desperate sounding... practically begging for fretless bass.

I tend to agree with that assessment, Dave. I think our arrangement, being a more band-oriented one, will favor instrumentation that supports both that primative melody as well as the verse. Here's one of Dirk with a kinda' overblown production, albeit with a band of A-listers. ;D
https://youtu.be/1MAMu3LHIYA
That's a much nicer mix. It's a very nice tune; and I think one that can be enhanced by creative interplay between the instruments. I don't really listen to the words; for me the story is told by the melody and harmonic movement, including the voice. And his voice repeating the simple melody over the instrumental interplay is very effective.

"Riding that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones you better watch your speed, troubles a head, troubles behind, da da da da dada da da daaaaaa".
I blame Sonicus and Bill tgo, because in my dream last night I was gigging with them!
Here ya go, Jazzy:
Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey Jones you better watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
This old engine makes it on time
Leaves Central Station 'bout a quarter to nine
Hits River Junction at seventeen two
At a quarter to ten you know it's travelin' again
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better, watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Trouble ahead, Lady in red
Take my advice you'd be better off dead
Switchman's sleeping, train hundred and two is
On the wrong track and headed for you
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better watch your speed
Trouble ahead trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Trouble with you is the trouble with me
Got two good eyes but you still don't see
Come round the bend, you know it's the end
The fireman screams and the engine just gleams
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better, watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better, watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better, watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better, watch your speed
Trouble ahead, you know, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
And you know that notion just cross my mind

Paul McCartney (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjvzCTqkBDQ)
Very nice, this Saturday morning. :)
Had to go looking for this guy's CD after the McCartney karaoke scene, for this one song. (this one's for you, Coz)
https://youtu.be/q3ZmEn7OXTc
Wasn't that on one of morning shows this week, Dave? The tv is always on in the control room at work but I can't do that many things at once... ::)
The Furtado and Krauss was nice!
The McCartney thing was on a show called Late Late Night With James Corden, which I've never seen. But I have seen two or three of his car pool segments on youtube, which were fun (probably depends on who's in the car with him and what the songs are). And of course the McCartney segment went viral pretty quickly.
Well, I haven't had much chance to listen to anything; She had Her right shoulder replacement "revised" Wednesday ("When you say 'revision', what do you mean, Dr.?" "We tear everything out and start over.") and, while there have been no actual problems, neither has it gone particularly smoothly. Left the hospital early today, though (need to do laundry) and on the way home was digging Junior Brown, "Guit-Steel Blues" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZjJdc7xRWU).
Peter (Who finds hisself wondering just what color Junior's house is.......)
Please tell Ms. Cowboy we hope her recovery goes well.
Enjoyed the Junior Brown!
Dem's some spare bass and drums. And my practicing earlier today sounds in retrospect like all whole notes after listening to Junior's licks. Just amazing stuff. Hadn't listened to him in a while, thanks for the post.
Thanks and you're welcome, Dave.
Coupla years ago, She & I went with my niece & her husband to see Junior at a bar in Columbus; stood about 10' from him. That ain't no overdubbed studio trickery on that cut; he does that stuff live.
Yeah, he can pick a little....
Peter
Was watching Parts Unknown (Tony Bourdain) and he was in Rome. They briefly showed a duo of 'street musicians' that were highly entertaining. I was not able to find their exact performance but gleaned that is was Lucilla Gazeazzi and Felice Zaccheo. Which then led to this... a spirited performance.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=bI4Uxzae330
David, the Paul McCartney segment gave me such a bad case of the sniffles. The first 45 I bought was "She Loves You." So much nostalgia in that clip. Wow. It really brought me back. <3
Yeah; I had a pretty emotional response to that video as well. I think the first album I had was the "Second Album" (US release); that was probably 1964. That was also the year I started playing bass, a copy of Paul's Hofner.
David, the Paul McCartney thing was frigging great, thanks! :)
Doc Watson...Don't Think Twice...

Nice to see Doc covering Don't Think Twice. I think that's Jack Lawrence (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S-D_OID-Vo) taking the lead break.
I miss Doc. :'(
One of the most memorable shows of my entire life was in August of 1999. Those guys closed out a rainy Saturday night at a festival in Capon Bridge, W.Va. I sat in a mudpuddle to watch, with a violinist, and a jar of moonshine and blueberries.
You'd think blueberries would have more sense than to sit in a mudpuddle. But then it was Doc Watson, and blueberries do have good taste in music, and in smoothies.
Whoever it was that posted that link to the Samantha Fish video a while back ...... Thank You.
I was in need of a little dose of the blues.
That one led to this one. A P-bass may not be the sound for me, but it can still sure sound good.......

And here's the great Victoria Williams, "Crazy Mary" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb6OiQdDq7g) , and "Summer Of Drugs" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_E8qfIRHeY). I was listening to them because I was thinking of "Swing The Statue", but it doesn't appear to be on YT - title cut & it's apparently the only one not uploaded.

Moving back up the thread to the Junior Brown. That's some great stuff. Also hoping Missus Cowboy is recovering well. I spend at least half of every day dreading my own.
~Gregory (who is lucky the modifier wasn't dangling any worse than it was after blueberry moonshine at Stompin' 99...)
Thanks - the surgery could not have gone better, but the recovery has had some hiccups (couldn't get off the ventilator right away, switch from Norco to Percocet left her basically comatose for a day, etc.)
After much hassle, we just the OK this afternoon that we were expecting Monday AM to move her to a residential rehab place for a week so she can get steady enough to handle the stairs in our big, old house. I just ran home to get her tennies (for some reason they don't think the Crocs she wore to the hospital would be good for working on that....) and need to get back.
Later all - and thanks again for asking.
Peter (Who hopes you don't worry too much about yours; she has extenuating circumstances)
This is wonderful ...

I have always loved firehose. No frills. No over-production. Just great song-writing and playing.
Great example of a band that just plays awesome music.
Such a great trio. So much going on for just a three piece.
The interplay between the guitar and bass is very complimentary.
Each member is able to add their unique sound and flavor without overshadowing the other guys.
Stuff off of "Master of Realty" to "Sabotage", and before "Rocka Rolla" on repeat for a while to better hear more of the subtleties of the original Judas Priest. Halford had long hair. Who knew?
Now maybe I'm a bit addled from enjoying my youth too thoroughly, but I could have sworn those big,purple letters that spelled out Master Of Reality were on the outside of a Black Sabbath album, no?
Peter (who, he is ashamed to confess, did own said vinyl as a lad)

HOLY SMOKES!
I've seen "MASTER OF REALITY" in the surface of CD sleeves that are embossed and flush, so I'd guess that the lettering could be printed on the album or CD any way that the pressing was commissioned to be. So, I think you can get away with "Yes, it was". I type this while sipping some cold brewed tea, but it's not sweetened or adjusted. Just tea.
So, it is therefore not Sweet Leaf Tea. :) That pun made my eyes hurt, it was so bad corny...but I had no choice.
I did not refer to the style of the graphics (and anyway, i was talking about an LP) but rather the fact that you said you were listening to it to get "the subtleties of the original Judas Priest" (and I will leave that oxymoron alone for now ;) ) when it it was a Black Sabbath album (and song).
Peter (Who is terrified he knows this, as the last metal that held his interest more than half a bar was the original Alice Cooper band)
OH! Right.
I was cherry picking Sabbath from Master of Reality (After Forever and a few others) and then moving on to Megalomania from Sabotage before switching gears to playing a live version of Rocka Rolla from Priest, with a hirsute Halford, on the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1975, later followed by some stuff off of Sad Wings of Destiny, all pre-studs and motorcycles. It was a change from "Breaking the Law" or covering "The Green Manalishi". In any regard, I think I omitted to many words and it got kinda screwed up and unclear. Or I need some warm milk and sleep. My apologies.
Oh, and the original Alice Cooper Band catalog is freaking amazing. "Elected" is probably one of my absolute favorites, and the promo film that was made for it is freaking great.
Sorry for the trouble.

Long road trip to a gig yesterday, I finally had time to listen to Missy Raines' new album all the way through. Missy was one of my first influences when I started playing bass years ago. Very approachable, and was always glad to show me how to play this or that, or just talk bass player stuff. Found out quickly, we had a lot of the same bass heroes in common. I always figured she'd end up with Tom Gray's job with the Seldom Scene some day... and who knows, maybe she still will. Missy seems to be doing just fine on her own. :)
Anyway, her latest project is awesome. Here is one with the girls - https://youtu.be/fBAPe8ztYZ8
Man, that is nice, Gregory!

Nice lineup for the Missy Raines tune; and I like how they transition between lead breaks.

Crazy as it sounds, I'm listening to a bunch of backing tracks I downloaded offa' Wikiloops to practice with. I have to record a bass part for a buddy of mine, but to make it sound right, I had to restring my old Distillate with some rounds (T-I Jazz Rounds) and practice playing with a pick. That really isn't my favorite thing, but I have to say, nevermind the growl... this bass can snarl at you when it needs to. Our buddy FC would be proud of the tones I've discovered. ;D
Went to a Yonder Mountain String Band concert last night with friend and couldn't help but notice how the crowd thinned out whenever the band went in to a jam (gotta have that 4th or 5th beer) which were both quite extensive and quite good. Jake Joliff (mandolin) and Allison Kral (fiddle) are both well worth listening to. Weakest link last night is founder Dave Johnston on the banjo. Difficult to understand why people would purchase tickets for a bluegrass jam band and then exit every time the soloing started.
I've never quite understood what the relationship between band and audience is in the world of jam bands, but I can tell you this much... bluegrass audiences, particularly here in Appalachia, are compromised of probably 50% musicians that are not as entertained by funkier or spacier jams. It's like golf or tennis... they are great fun to play, but boring as dad-gummit to watch for a lot of them. It's something I always counsel the guys on... keep an eye on the crowd. If you see us losing them, change the pace.
It's a tightrope walk.

Another song that sounds like it could have been recorded 40+ years ago
Secrets- The Karminsky Experience
https://youtu.be/SCZg3MCKJWY
Apparently, this is a project band put together by the guitar player. The video is a Deep Purple medley (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHnXxt-4nPI) (looks like there are some others than I plan to check out; this is the one I've just run across).
First, I like the video work; multiple cameras. The camera people are in a lot of the shots, but that's okay in this case. Next the guitar and the keyboard are really good; I especially liked the guitar work on the Steve Morse stuff.
If you're unfamiliar with Steve Morse era Deep Purple recordings, you may find that they sound a bit more current; especially the guitar parts.
And finally, they did the whole thing in one take; which I thought was pretty good work.
The Best of Goodman...as I try to win at dominos while playing against my wife. The clarinet work is helping to distract her. If I start playing Marcus Miller on bass clarinet, I should also start playing for money.
Further, I am in the midst of making easy tomato sauce on the stove and watching the cats. I may be ready to play "The Black Page#1", next. Probably definitely not.

David, that is very cool stuff, and very talented people!
Marcus Miller is someone who, I think, has not failed to deliver in what I've heard of his body of work, regardless of his role or his instrument. And he can make a Porkpie Hat look cool. A rare talent.

Interesting, Rob... that cut of Nardis... I could swear the mix is different from the release of Mar West than the one on the Devlin compilation. (Devlin is a best-of from Still Inside, and Mar West... they must have done some remastering or something)
You might enjoy this album if you like that vein of Tony's music... "Acoustics" was the predecessor to "Mar West", and while it's waaay out of print, remains a fine example of what he was about to do after parting ways with David Grisman. https://youtu.be/333F6N1zxQ0 (https://youtu.be/333F6N1zxQ0)

Gregory; I just listened to both version back to back, and the only difference that got my attention was that perhaps the EQ on the overall mix is different, with the Devlin version perhaps having more treble. So perhaps it was remastered for Devlin. Just guessing; and it's entirely possible that it's just my imagination, and entirely possible that there's lots of differences and I'm missing them all.
Thanks, Greg, I will check out the "Acoustics" album, "Devlin" too :)

Burnel's old school honking P-bass tone is unreal, clear, chugging, horn tones playing in the rhythm section with the prominence of a lead instrument. Cool.
Lastly, Ian Dury and the Blockheads in 1977 on "Sight and Sound" with an excellent line up of his band. Mistakenly, I thought Norman Watt-Roy picked up a Series 1 later in the show. I think it must have been on another BBC TV show that was around the time, and I believe was a maple/mahogany/purpleheart stringer doozy. The selection is a little bawdy, is pretty great if outside earshot of small children, and shows Ian Dury's proclivities and appetites, on stage and before, in their true to form fashion-

The Toto medley was very nice to listen to. Those guys are great and it looked like they were having a lot of fun.

Fascinating, how each left just enough space for the other. I've often described music as a language, and a particular piece being played as a conversation. Some are written out, rehearsed and performed to perfection, others are spoken in cadence, and some are completely improvised.

Thanks for the Bonamassa.
I dont think I've heard anything from him I didn't like. But, going through some of his recent stuff i often see that organ player he has and am equally thrilled by him, as well. They're all really talented.
edit: just noticed that was post 13,000 David. Zoiks!! :D if that was your last post, that is.

I reached the last day of my cellular billing cycle and still had almost a whole GB of data left, so I've been streaming the Fleetwood Mac
"Kiln House" album up here in this disaster area of my shop. A lot of it is strange to me, (mystery to me?) but a lot of it is completely do-able within the context of the 2018-19 band lineup. In my opinion, of course. And while that matters little in the grand scheme of commerce and the reality of world tours, I do hope that Mick and John seize this golden opportunity to recreate some of this music.
I can totally see them pulling this off just as convincingly today: https://youtu.be/4slv_ZR2hI0 (https://youtu.be/4slv_ZR2hI0)

Loop Loft All-Stars are very groovy.
Kiln House art work has a Whistle Rhymes vibe to it.
After the Gilmour set this popped up in the side bar... I thought I would just watch a little bit of it - ended up watching the whole thing.

Weird! It does a little. FWIW, Christine McVie did the cover art for "Kiln House", and I think a couple more of the early Fleetwood Mac albums.

Alma Deutsher child prodigy.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Nz0OAcYknyw
Just saw her on 60 Minutes. My take away was that she has imaginary composers in her head that represent different emotions... bottom line is she understands the joy of what music is.
Brown Sabbath, Fairies Wear Boots-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoqcIQ37amo
Great tone from the ES-335 and the horns. I have NOT seen this kinda stuff live! I am also a true vulgarian.
Stefanie, thanks for the Gambale, Hamm, and Smith; very nice track. Great bass solo by Hamm, and Gambale is .. well, Gambale.
I once saw a Vital Information concert, an acoustic version of the band (the keyboard player played an accordion); and I found the concert to be surprisingly underwhelming, except for Steve Smith. Just an amazing drummer, as shown on this track with Gambale and Hamm.
I think I've seen Alma Deutsher do the "pick four notes out of a hat" thing on another video. Pretty amazing.
"Whoopie Cat". Never heard of the until tonight, but it's pretty impressive straightforward rock and roll with a pleasant '90s nostalgic tone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mXg9Vkd3OE
The Alma video was a joy to watch. So gifted, what a future she has.

That was some of the best spoon playing I've seen in awhile.
My Mom is 74 today... for all the stories about my adopted home up here in the mountains of Southwest Virginia, we're all from North Carolina originally. Mom (and Dad) grew up not far from the little place made sorta' famous by this James Taylor tune... come to think of it, I did too, though I remember very little of my Tarheel youth. Anyway, "Copperline" is near Chapel Hill, N.C.
https://youtu.be/ArIEeyaGZGM
Of course, there's Jimmy J. with that beautiful Alembic 5'r of his... playing exactly the right thing at exactly the right time. :)
I lived in and around the Chapel Hill area for 17 years. I remember Morgan Creek, which he mentions in the lyrics, but I can't recall Copperline.
Sometimes when introducing the tune he describes it as an old rock quarry of some kind. But it could be imagined.
Jimmy J
My Dad and Grandfather both worked at a rock quarry near there... could it be the same one? I just assume (like the song suggests) the place, whatever it was, is long gone.
I'm listening sad today, wishing I could play another tune with this guy. He left this world three years ago this morning, and it just ain't been the same since. :(
"St. Anne's Reel" was one of his signature tunes, and young flatpickin' gunslingers would always come around to jam this one with Tony.
https://youtu.be/lektuagD3VQ (https://youtu.be/lektuagD3VQ)
So, I have Pandora set on my Lee Dorsey channel, and "99 1/2" by Wilson Picket comes on. I know this song from the first Fever Tree album, but have never heard the Wicked version before - so, of course, I get & start dancing.
Shortly thereafter, I realize that I'm dancing carefully - to make sure the needle doesn't skip..........
Peter (Who really should dance more)
I remember going swimming at an old rock quarry a ways south of town towards Pittsboro, which could perhaps now be under Jordan Lake (the quarry, not the town). Since they built that lake, a lot of stuff in that area is now gone, including an old barn I lived in for a while.
Relatively new band called CHVRCHES.
Yes, with a V instead of a U. The V is correct.
Cool stuff.
This documentary about James Gurley ;

Jammin' in the van... made me smile.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=qMguyIwmswM
The George Porter Jr. was nice. Thanks.
And a nice piece on James Gurley; thanks for that.
The Gurley thing was nice, indeed. When I say that, of the SF '60s guitarists, Garcia, Weir, Kaukonen, Cipollina, Duncan, and Melton were better than James, it should be in no way construed to mean I think he was anything less than one of the all-time greats!
Peter (Who still gets chills over "Summetime")
So I ran across a deal for the DVD and CD soundtrack for 'That Thing You Do' on Amazon, and I jumped on it. The DVD has Hanks' 'Director's Cut' that's about 45 minutes longer than the broadcast version. I'm always dumbstruck at how RIGHT Hanks got it: I always see some piece of gear or something that's not period-correct, and you just don't see any in this. That the songs are all originals, not a cover in sight, and done so like music sounded back then just slays me.
I remember when bands looked and sounded like this (damn, I never got to play in a 'matching suits' band !), and it just makes me happy. JW Recommended !!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XITR4xKz8k
Haven't see it in quite a while, but yeah, it was a good movie. I especially liked this part (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQojMgljdtg).
I do that, too, Joey (with guns in Westerns, too) - for instance the Alembic several years early for the model in Jersey Boys - and you're right, they nailed it in That Thing You Do. And the progression of the instruments as they get more money is right on for the time, too. They really did take time to get it right; I remember when it came out reading an interview with Hanks where he talked about how hard it was to get the young actors not to high-five.
Peter (Whose wife gets really tired of his anachronism-spotting OCD)
Yes, Dave ! There's not a musician alive who as a youngster didn't have that 'better than sex' rush the first time you ever came face to face with master musicians playing live that were just ON IT and being where you wanted to grow to. One more thing Hanks got very right.
Coz, if ONLY he'd had him playing that SilverTone thru the case amp! The only glitch (but it may have been intentional) was when the guy quits in the studio and carries the Ric out holding the case under his arm: I've only ever seen real players carry by the handle, but under the idea that nothing in a movie is accidental, maybe it was an inference of some kinds, or maybe an adlib action they just left in. But I'm dumbstruck at how right they got it, and it's just fun, often hard to find in music.
Maybe indicating that Jimmy was not, in fact, a real player? And you're right about the Silvertone; yes, they sold models without the case amp, but that would have been a little touch of perfection. My youngest's then-GF gave him one for his 21st b-day; I could not for the life of me convince him it wasn't the greatest thing ever. He sold it to our local shop when she broke his heart - but not to worry; he already had a Strat & a Blues Jr before the Silvertone rig-of-his-dreams (what can I say? The youngster's favorite clothing store is Salvation Army, and he's really proud of the '80s K-car he bought for his wife to learn to drive......).
Peter (Whose own current guitar amp is a Silvetone Twin Twelve 1484 - but only because it was free. If anyone wants to jump on the current Silvertone bandwagon & trade for a Super Reverb, you know where to find me........)
Grandkids are visiting from Texas. Our 4-year granddaughter has found that when her 1-year brother gets cranky she can calm (and often put him to sleep) by singing to him. But only two songs work and since he's like most 1-year old's who gets cranky a lot when he's tied I've hear these two songs over and over during the course of the past week to the extent that I'm listening to them in my head ALL OF THE TIME. The two songs...Baby Beluga (by Rafi) and It's A Wonderful World (Louie Armstrong).

Awaken (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwspoyRdeV0) - Jon Anderson with Todmobile live in Iceland
This is very good. If you like this song, I think you'll like this rendition. If you're not familiar with the song, it builds, so stay with it.
I don't think I had ever heard of Todmobile before; there's a lot of people on stage. The orchestration works very well with Awaken. And Anderson appears to love it.
After Awaken, they start in on Roundabout; but the video ends in the middle of that song. So if you don't want to be disappointed, stop after Awaken.

Going For the One was an album that was held close to me during a rather difficult chapter. As I listened to this and the song began to grow I kept turning up the volume till it wouldn't go anymore...
So many feelings came out as I heard this powerful rendition.
I'm bookmarking it - it's thereputic.
This thread works so well in so many different ways - I really appreciate it.

I watched it again last night before heading to bed, and turned it up loud. And yes, powerful and moving.
The Vivaldi was nice. Could have done without the camera cuts to whoever those other people were. :)

I went to this show...you had to mail in to a lottery to get tickets. Jerry's voice sounded awful, but his playing was fun and full of energy. They were supposed to play the Garden a couple days later but they cancelled saying Jerry had strep throat and had to rest up for the New Years shows ( I caught those too...flew on a 747 from NY to SF with Bill Murray, he was going to the shows too to see the Blues Brothers open up...that's when the upstairs on a 747 was a big lounge with comfy chairs, tables, and wrap around couches...fun stuff!). :) They came back and did the Garden shows in January, along with some great shows at Nassau and Philly... shall we go, you and I while we can... :)
:)
The Joey Alexander was nice.
So was the Keith Jarrett (in my youth I dated a classical/baroque keyboardist; when at her place I used to..um, get in a listening mood, nudge nudge wink wink say n'more, and listen to The Köln Concerts. First time jazz didn't just sound like noise to my rock'n'roll ears).
Yesterday I watched Cassandra Wilson doing a tribute to Billie Holiday on Austin City Limits; sorry I didn't make note of the broadcast date (it was the DVR), but if you can find it, it's worth the hour.
Peter
The Koln Concerts... some of the best of the best of Keith Jarrett. Totally changed my ideas as to how jazz, classical, and gospel could be blended to create something that was much more than additive.
+1 for Joey Alexander.
Dynamite energy in that studio.

Same band (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-MWuqD2_RA), but with much better audio and video, and a very cool tune. Really liked the part where the bass. guitar, and keyboard hold down the .. uh .. rhythm for the drum solo. (Also like the shot in the same section where the keyboard player is playing with one hand while the other hand is busy counting out the beat.) :)
For a second there I thought that said "Ernest Tubb (bass)" & was thinking "Whoa - i only ever saw him play guitar!"
This would seem to be a different guy........
Peter (Who of course cannot leave you now without some Ernest Tubb (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=troL2Toww24))

David, I've been checking out a bunch of her stuff on YT and all I can do is agree. She's wonderful to listen to.
Alembic guitar player? Not sure ???
https://youtu.be/N-K0Ff1pSQ0
Definitely not an Alembic - the truss rod adjusts at the headstock. Looks like an Ibanez Musician to me.
Bill, tgo
Thanks for clarifying that. I'm on the small screen laptop and wasn't sure. It sounds great though.
Nice bass solo on that Billy Cobham video.
The headstock doesn't look Ibanez to me, Bill (pause it at about 0:31 for the shape) - but I am not prepared to venture a guess as to what it might be instead; don't think I've seen that one before.

Yes, loved it. I liked the look on Billy Cobham's face when the bass player started that riff, lol.
George Duke, "Don't Be Shy"-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJLyI0a4L8Y
R.I.P. George Duke.
Oh, and BTW, Stefanie, thanks; that was quite tasty.
Late '83-early '84, when I was working at GC, I had the chance to do sound for Mr. Cobham for a Tama clinic he was doing. He was playing his then-signature 3,496,972 piece ArtStar kit, and a NYC guy named Dom Famularo was playing a 5-piece ArtStar kit. Cobham did his thing on all those drums, and it was a joy and an honor to witness. Then Famularo, on his 5-piece, proceeded to blow Billy directly off the riser. This is no way a slam on Cobham; he's Billy Freakin' Clubhand, after all. Famularo was just that amazing.
Peter (Who must add that Billy was more courteous to the soundman; a real gentleman)
Wow Peter, that must have been something to witness! I've seen some videos of BC where he isn't playing the signature set. But those sets from the early days were huge, lol. I wouldn't know what to do with that many drums, haha. I'll have to look up Famularo and see wht I can find on him.
I loved this: Gov't Mule with John Scofield - Dreams (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_vCaNSySOY)
Dreams is a favorite, and it's been running through my mind a lot recently. So up pops this version from three years ago.
It seems to me that Scofield challenges himself with these classic tunes to take the audience a lot further afield than they might expect while still staying true to the soul of the tune, and challenges the audience to go on that journey with him.
While Warren here is just pure Warren; he's played this tune hundreds of times with the Allman Brothers. His tone is pure; and rather than going far afield, he dives into the essence.
Very nice, David. Thanks :)

That's a great one Rob. It always makes me think it would be inappropriate to play
anywhere but a stadium. Just has that feel.
I just got home yesterday afternoon from a week at the 83rd Annual Old Fiddlers Convention in Galax, Virginia... so I still hear a lot of imaginary music, (probably will for a while) but I was excited that our guitar player scored a 5th place finish in competition this year. He played an homage to Norman Blake, more just to create an entertaining moment in performance than to construct a blistering contest piece. The judging panel must have appreciated it.
https://youtu.be/nKx4XmzZeRs
(that's me on bass, by the way... a little past my bedtime, but before I turn into a pumpkin!)
*on the subject of blistering contest performances... someone already posted our Saturday night final round. Audio is a little bit fuzzy, but consistent. It's a pretty good representation of us on a very good night. Kind of a controlled explosion- https://youtu.be/hlO-n3tVLJU
(New River Bound finished in 11th place this year, moving up one spot from our 12th ranking last year... Galax is a tough contest. I'm not sure how we ever broke the top-10... somebody must have been sick.)
Looks like everyone was having fun, Gregory. Sounding good, too! Thanks for sharing.
Nice videos Gregory! And the guitar piece was especially nice.

Just watched Yessongs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7fHCFcCfEk&list=PLeasUbhvyXXrAYx2dkK2yA4KGIBJY6jpq), the movie; a concert film performed in 1972, the Close To The Edge tour. Sound quality isn't great, but certainly not bad. Steve Howe's guitar sound is quite good, and I think it brings out his playing better than live videos from later decades, though the overall quality of the later recordings is better, if that makes any sense. Overall, it was good to see the band playing so well at that time. It is, I think, an important document.

This is just amazing stuff. Over the years I've returned to this band's music from time to time, and it seems I learn (or perhaps just soak in) a little more each time. This time I seemed to get a little more out of Footprints, the second tune in the set. Just amazing music, and an amazing group of musicians; and a high point in the history of music.

Dave - Yes Songs was a very impactful album for me (us). I forwarded the And You and I to my brother to remind him.... watching that and the Yes Songs just reaffirms what a fabulous musician Chris was.
I remember buying a blouse at Goodwill that had very large balloon sleeves strictly for the purpose of looking like Chris on stage! ;D ::)
Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Traffic...all great stuff!!!
It's been a while since I've watched Ken Burns Jazz, but my recollection is that therein it is asserted that Gonsalves' solo was so well received by the audience at Newport that it revived the popularity of Ellington's band (checking Wikipedia now and yes, it's stated there as well).
Listening now; thanks!

Pretty Things! Hadn't listened to that band in quite a while. Nice guitar playing.
So here's the same lineup playing the same song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAldg0D2N8o), 40 years later. Nice guitar playing.

New York Rock Ensemble! We had this album, and I remember this tune; cool tune!
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyBjrX8jOHw); Pompeii 2016.
I like digging up the oldies, lol. Well, I really like oldies of the truest sense (Elvis,Motown,etc) - but these (like NY RnR Ensemble) are oldies for a large part of the population. Umm what the heck am I trying to say! I'm old?!?!? :o I dunno, but when I was growing up, the 60s and 70s weren't oldies >.>
I really dig that the musical interests here are SO diverse. It's pretty exciting to see what will come up next in this thread.
Onward and upward!

I found a couple of songs/jams yesterday which were new to me. The AI at YouTube did really well by making these suggestions.
1) A Tuesday night jam at the Matrix with San Francisco scene players in '69(?), date and line-up not fully confirmed-

Just have to say, I went to another place for a few minutes with Duane Allman & Aretha Franklin... that was pretty special.
That was David Hood playing bass on It Ain't Fair.

Been really missing the genius of John Hartford lately. https://youtu.be/_29ZHaYXLBU (https://youtu.be/_29ZHaYXLBU)
Before I had a clue who he was, I tagged along to the Mark O'Connor fiddle camp back in the mid-90's with my wife (the violinist). One sweltering afternoon (late July in Montgomery Bell State Park, TN) I sat on the porch of the dining hall not 10 feet from John as he simply fiddled, non-stop, for at least 45 minutes. Guitar players came, sat in, left, and John kept playing.
I wasn't much into bluegrass or country back then, but it made an impression on me. Several years later I learned WHO HE WAS, and was even more in awe of what I witnessed that day.
A great folk hero. A great player. Sorely missed.
C-Ya.............wayne
Thanks, Gregory; alas, I only saw John live once, but it was amazing, and the first time I dropped was also the first time I heard Aereo-Plane - which has been on my desert-island-album list ever since. An amazing talent.
Peter
+1 on the thanks. I discovered John Hartford with the Bugle Boy album. Saw him a bunch in the L.A area in the mid 70's. Amazing multi-instrumentalist, very intelligent songwriter, entertaining performer, and he had a stomp-board!
Bill, tgo
"Is he still afloat on an old steamboat, after he's gone from here?"
The whole song is brilliantly haunting but that lyric kicked me right in the gut.
Hartford was an unusual cat... one of those guys everybody has a story about, a good many of them funny. He was just that way.
I forget who said this, but on his passing someone commented "John Hartford always had one foot in the past and one foot in the future - and both of them were dancing!"
Peter
Emmy-lou, maybe? Sounds like her, and absolutely true.
Larry Groce, Mountain Stage.

These popped up today:
Jack Teagarden, The Big Eight Blues- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7mp_qtPa2c
Art Blakely and The Jazz Messengers, Moanin'-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv9NSR-2DwM
And the sidebar on the (very nice) Teagarden cut had a new one to me; Garry BB Coleman, doing St. James Infirmary. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ppC7xAbFJ4) Quite tasty, I think.[size=78%] [/size]
Peter
Which, in turn, led me to Boz & Duane (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTFvAvsHC_Y).

John Hartford singing "The Golden Globe Award". I once saw him in concert explain that when he first heard of the Golden Globe Awards he had no idea what they were for. So, using his imagination, he wrote this song. Can political incorrectness get any better?

Bob Culbertson, While My Guitar Gently Weeps (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYKB6Lag-wg)
Allman Brothers..Live at the Ludlow Garage. Not the best quality recording but the players more than make up for the fact that this isn't a technically great recording.
My level of recording quality forgiveness is a bit higher than usual because I just spent last evening listening to some old library of congress LPs of Mississippi John Hurt and Lightning Hopkins recorded many, many years ago.
I have that recording as well as just about all the live material that includes the bass playing of the Late Great Berry Oakley . He left us way to early . I would definitely say that he has been an influence on my own playing somewhat ..
Trey Gunn (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzTsHzGQzKY) (King Crimson) on Warr guitar.
Savoy Brown Hellbound Train

edit: the Trey Gunn video was really interesting! Never saw the Warr guitar before. The way he plays it certainly sounds like King Crimson. Now I know where that sound came from, lol.
have to agree, Stefanie,
The Trey Gunn vid was quite good !
Thanks Dave !
Savoy Brown is an old favorite; Street Corner Talking my favorite by them, with Tell Mama in second place.
One of my coworkers has been stockpiling me a collection of what he deems to be the essential Grateful Dead listening while recovering from surgery. I broke into the stash, and got stuck here:
12/29/77 - https://youtu.be/eNB5m5YjzyY
Phil's bass part (as usual) melted my brain. At this point in time, was he still playing the Osage Orange/Mission Control bass, along with the Big Brown/Godfather Starfire? I seem to remember reading there was an Irwin bass at some point too.
Robert Fripp String Quintet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZiWvjRj1AY)
Robert Fripp, Trey Gunn, and the California Guitar Trio, from 1992
This short set (11 minutes) grows on you such that by the end you're surprisingly in another space. (Or it could be just me; ymmv)
Gregory, Phil used the Irwin from winter tour '79 into '81.

Video from the Old Fiddlers Convention in Galax, Virginia... in 1987. This is a perfect example of the trance-like groove that draws you into oldtyme music. (new tune begins at 1:15) What a jam this was! I don't know where these folks are today, but I do know I was there and probably within earshot of this very jam outside those old horse stalls. I haven't missed a single year since 1985, and this is why. I've gone home, and 4 days later could still hear that sound, that beat.

I'm listening to (and downloading) our fellow club member Hieronymous' new Stanley Lighthead (https://stanleylighthead.bandcamp.com/) album. (See also the release posting (http://club.alembicguitars.net/index.php?topic=9936.msg240642#msg240642) to his Gigs section thread.)
Loved this; Nuno Bettencourt with Nancy Wilson (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1_0BXxhTy4). Nancy brought her lead singer, Liv Warfield, with her; and she can sing those parts. From Bettencourt's introduction, apparently Nancy decided that afternoon to come by and play the tunes.
Carolyn Wonderland with Bonnie Raitt. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzlK-oZf6PY)

Kind of a contrast there between Wonderland and Raitt. :) Could have turned Raitt up a good bit more in the mix, and given her a lot longer lead.

Thanks Dave. :D
Was the soundguy asleep for John's bass solo on "The Chain" or I just can't hear it on my phone? Looks like he's playing one of his Godin basses on one and bound and blocked Fender-ish P or Tele on the other. Lakland maybe? No Alembic. :(
This band could work with Campbell & Finn, but I think they'll have to do more than pop hits from the Buckingham/Nicks era at concerts to sell it.
*I put the cans on so I could hear... yeah, sounds pretty great actually! John's definitely still got the chops too. Wish there was some way to get him to pull the old Dragons out of retirement... ;D
Bass solo came through good on the tv. I really like this line up, hope they have fun. Only thing missing is John's Alembic...
Thought you might like that Gregory. :)
One of my all time favorites from north of the border...Bruce Cockburn, Pacing the Cage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN2uMVYwmqc
Brian, thanks for that... truth put to music.
There is a darkness there that hits close to home.
Pauldo:
I couldn't agree with you more. Cockburn always does that so very well.
I never understood why he never drew more attention from the public. He may have just been born or more accurately had the longest part of his career at a time when music wasn't really being used to convey important messages.
I recall the late Glen Campbell introducing John Hartford to play a little song called "Gentle on my Mind" on what I think was called the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour.
Well he played it on the banjo. But you all know what I mean.
haven't listened to Bruce Cockburn in YEARS - I should get back on that; he is great. That is the great thing about this thread-new music, or going back to old stuff forgotten...speaking of old stuff, a friend played me Crazy Horses by the OSMONDS - yeah, those Osmonds...blew my mind! I had no idea they ever actually did any cool songs...I'd link to it but I don't know how; look for the live vid-they look like they're refugees from Soul Train! Tony.

Yes. Well, sort of; there are 2 of them now. White, Howe, & Downes have "Yes", with Billy Sherwood & a singer I've never heard of. I saw "Yes featuring Anderson, Rabin, and Wakeman" - + 2 other guys.
Drums & bass were serviceable. Rabin can play, but he's no Howe. Anderson & Wakeman were, well, Anderson & Wakeman. A pretty good show. And to make it better, the (lawn) tickets were free. And best yet, it was at Ravinia - where the guy in charge of sound is Norm Krueger, who worked with me for 2 different bands in the early & mid '80s, and was my roommate '80-'83; not only did he slip us into pavilion seats, it was the first time I'd seen him in 18 years! A good night all around.

Ideofoon 3
https://vimeo.com/128604518
Been thinking of interesting songs Fleetwood Mac could put in the setlist for the upcoming tour. To my knowledge, these two have never involved L. Buck. (at least not in a live stage scenario) I also think the Campbell/Finn team could easily support them.

Yeah, Guthrie Govan can play. That solo on Spain was not only nice, but was helpful for me in noticing how he was changing modes. I probably won't get that in this lifetime, but maybe I will in the next.
Sorry about switching the order of his first and last name; this is the first time I have seen him play, and I am really glad to have found his name for future reference. Indeed, he is an incendiary player.

Tedeschi Trucks was a blast...
Side note Elizabeth Lea on trombone is relatively new to the band, when my wife and I saw them in Milwaukee, Elizabeth's joy was really contagious, she seemed to be having more fun then us!!! :-D
Thanks Paul; I've fixed the Barbara Thompson link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aulh5vtU25Y).
The Tedeschi Trucks video opens with Branford standing in the horn section with Lea and the others as if he's just another member of the band. Her joy at being in that band is certainly understandable.
And I love the way that tune opens.

Very cool! Thanks!
You're welcome. The show was an enjoyable find. I think you can really hear the maturity in his voice now. It's an inspiration that we can age and still do what we enjoy. And, it sure did look like he was having fun.
An interesting place to stick the horn section. :)
Yes, and it's a good band.
The acoustics in that place are amazing, too. And yes, the poor horn section. -__-;
Just finished watching. Wonderful close as they end with Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End.
And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make

The audience! :-D
Just saw that band Sunday - without Branford though. Killer band.

But later today, I'll be listening to 3 discs worth of Dead & Company at Alpine Valley (Night 1), while traveling to Danville, Virginia to play a show myself. That ought to cover the trip to, and from. Not counting the obligatory Waffle House stop.
At risk of starting an argument, and keeping in mind here that I'm kinda' new to Grateful Dead music, at the tender age of
<gulp> 49... I rather like the sound of the Mayer/Burbridge Dead too. It's different for sure. Oteil is much more symmetrical in constructing bass parts than Phil, but I think he does a great job keeping the spirit of the original there. And John Mayer has all he needs for the job. The only thing he isn't, is what he can't be. I like it.
I'll be spending much of the day and evening at the Kensington Market Jazz Festival in Toronto. Live jazz in every restaurant and cafe in the Market, as well as great music for free on the streets. Few Alembic if any but lots of great players!

Not at all! ???
That was ethereal. Love the ensemble, bonus with his twin on drums.
My first introduction to him was when he was touring with Mike Watt on his Shinebox Tour. This skinny guy gets up on stage with a small toolbox and starts playing his guitar with different tools. Nothing like Lovers (he uses that electronic tone bender thing these days). Been a fan ever since, his solo in Impossible Germany is still one of my top ten favorite guitar solos of all time.
Regardless of genre, his style is so him... the phrasing is almost spastic at times but full of emotion. Somewhere I have a dvd, Stained Radiance - Nels and Norton Wisdom feed of each other's improvisational skills. The weird part is Norton is a painter. You get yourself in the proper mood with a glass of scotch and what not and it is truly enjoyable.

Never been a huge Wilco fan - but I don't think my youngest son's ever been more impressed by me than when I told him I knew Jeff Tweedy's wife......
Peter
Admittedly my wife has been a Wilco fan since their inception... I was kinda meh about them. Until Nels, he brings a certain energy to the group that makes me a late blooming fan.
I'm getting an error message on the Scott Law video.

I'm getting an error message on the Scott Law video.
I could see it... love that tune. :) I was kinda' sorry we didn't do it last night. :(
Like I posted yesterday, I was listening 3 discs containing the entire Night 1 Alpine Valley Dead & Co. show from last June. This
"China Doll" had a profound effect on me, driving home from a gig through the rain last night. https://youtu.be/VVxeDXplLJg
*particularly the delivery, and the bass parts - by the same guy.
The Scott Law video worked for me. I thought it was from Atlantic City. That's the tune, it was recorded at Phil's Terrapin Crossroads.
Bill, tgo
It still won't open for me; I even tried finding it with a search, and it still wouldn't work. I guess it's just something I don't need to see right now. Maybe later.
I finally got Atlantic City to play - in a different browser. So at the moment it appears to be an issue with my Chrome. Maybe it will resolve itself when I restart the machine tomorrow.
Another Youtube recommendation-

I was planning to go to bed early tonight, but then this happened:
The Mule does Pink Floyd (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv9RlJv1E0g)
Not pro-shot, and some of the cameras are not synced with the sound, but the main camera is synced and the sound is good; and it's Government Mule doing Pink Floyd. I doubt I'll watch the whole thing tonight, but so far, it's pretty good. Doesn't sound nothing like Pink Floyd or David Gilmour, but it's not supposed to. It has, however, put a smile on my face.
Well, I did stay up and watched the whole thing. That was nice.

Hawkwind, Space is Deep-

Started listening to the Darkside of the Mule...
Sophia Ramos!
Her rendition of The Great Gig in the Sky was goosebump worthy -"she really made it her own" which for me made it better.
Whenever you hear those first piano chords of Great Gig in the Sky, you know what's coming.
Here's a David Gilmour version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhwSULmVOxk), also a bit different from the original.
I had not heard that Hawkwind tune before; that was interesting. Thanks!
Nick Johnston - Remarkably Human (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ7W3JvZBJQ)
Nice instrumental guitar-feature piece.
Dave, that's Lemmy's first Hawkwind album, I believe. I am glad you dug it.

I think I might have posted a Lari Basilio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF_tC_b2C4Y) video before. Wonderful touch and use of delays in this one.
A friend of mine sent me this one of Tommy Emmanuel and David Grisman because of the guitars, but it is a great example of two master-class acoustic musicians at play. (on close to a half-million dollars worth of lumber)
https://youtu.be/s2JmwgcYQQA
Very nice, Gregory! I can't ID the mando, but it must be pretty high-end to put things in $500K range (as pre-war 000-28s are going in the $15-30K range these days.....) ;)
Peter
Loved the Emmanuel/Grisman jam. Nice way to start a Saturday.
I figured you would enjoy that one Coz... 'specially with those triple-0's. ;)
Well, you're right - to be honest, I'm assuming way too much. A pair of pre-war 000-28's + (one of) Grisman's 23' Lloyd Loar F5 still wouldn't be $500K. It's still an expensive little jam there, but my goodness it sounds good in their hands. :)
Tried to edit, but this one stayed; please proceed to our next regularly schedule missive.....

Ah - if that's a '23 LL-signed F5, then we are, in fact, much closer to the half-mil mark that I thought (one of those is more than a nickel, I'm told). I gotta say, too, that that second 000 is something to consider selling a kid for;
DAY-UM that thing has tone!!!!
And am I the only one who kinda cocks his head & goes "Huh?" to see T.E. flatpicking? Very tasty, but not what I expect from him.

I would be willing to bet they are closely-related versions of the same tune. I think young Molly there, was very much influenced by Tony and Clarence before him. By the way, Molly Tuttle won the IBMA Guitar Player of the Year award

Dungen - Häxan | The Furious Sessions at Sol de Sants Studios (Barcelona)

At around 6:30 his description of his observations of this piece blew my mind.
Edwin, I bet it was a thrill performing it.
The film about Cobra was interesting; and I especially liked the way he talked about his approach to music and the band as a community.

Not much in mainstream bluegrass has interested me for a while now, but these youngsters playing out on the fringes of it, particularly this fringe, have gotten my full attention. I'm not sure how much room there is for this out there, but I am very excited that it's happening in my time. You know... instead of 100 years ago, or 100 years from now.

It was amazing and very different from this one. Erik Deutsch had hooked up with Zorn and gotten the instruction book and some pointers (I guess Zorn doesn't hand it out that often). We rehearsed pretty intensely, learning all the hand signals and rules. I think I have an audio recording of it somewhere and there was a video. I would love to get that. The audience loved it. We had horn players, DJs, upright bass, electric bass, accordion, guitars, drums, percussion, and all kinds of things. It was a huge listening experience and afterwards Ron Miles gave me my best complement ever "You have big ears."
If you don't know who Ron Miles is, he's well worth looking into. He plays regularly with Bill Frisell and back in the day was in Ginger Baker's Denver jazz band. I did the audio for this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4ypIX4F0TA
Pretty challenging to record a band in the round in a dining room.

That sentiment kinda reminds me of Larry Groce's tagline for
Mountain Stage; "You won't hear today's pop music - but you will hear where it came from and where it's going".
And yeah - it might not be the days of Dead, Quicksilver, ABB, Traffic, Bonnie, Delaney & friends,
et al, but it's out there; if you know where to look (or have friends who post cool stuff to keep you excited), it's a wonderful time to be alive musically.
Myself, last night I watched
Austin City Limits with John Prine; yeah, he's got some hard miles on him, but he's still a national treasure.
Peter
Just finished watching the Ron Miles video. Cool music and video; and nice work on the audio Edwin!
Friends took us out to an Italian restaurant tonight; this is always a touch-&-go proposition, as the Lovely & Charming Mrs. Cowboy's maiden name does, in fact, end in a vowel, and we are picky about Italian restaurants. This one turned out to be, wonder of wonders, the 4th we've found in 35 years of marriage that we're willing to go back to (and one of the others is on a beach in Jamaica, so not really in our regular rotation).
But, more to the point, they have live jazz Tuesdays & Thursdays, with a rotating cast of 4 bands. Tonight was Jazz This; drums, bass, keys, & tenor sax playing something about halfway between "cool' and "smooth" jazz. Nothing earth-shaking, just some fairly serious players blowing standards - hip enough to keep my head bopping, without getting hip enough to offend the squares.
All in all, a nice evening.
Peter
:)
Upthread, Coz mentioned Traffic and Bonnie & Delaney... and I thought of the Fleetwood Mac that almost everyone forgot... with Dave Mason and Bekka Bramlett.
https://youtu.be/gXghJJVTgw0
I'm wondering how the new guys are working out on the tour. Not too much is showing up on YouTube yet. I liked what I heard from opening night.
Joni Mitchell. Hejira. Jaco.
That was an interesting Fleetwood Mac lineup. Musically, I think Mason would have been a good fit with McVie and Fleetwood.
Joni's Hejira (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V6Qq1QHttI) is wonderful.
Grateful Dead - Not Fade Away - Wimterland 12/31/78 - a fine piece of improvised music 😊
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Z29omyBeP4
I'll drink (coffee) to that, Rob... I was just spinning that particular track from a 9/3/77 show yesterday morning. I've accidentally started fights over at TalkBass by saying so, but that '77 - '78 band really is about my favorite timeframe for listening. Although what I like anymore seems to be a moving target with regard to Grateful Dead music. I'm really liking these Dead & Co. shows, but I realized at some point that I wouldn't have appreciated them at all had I never heard these mid-late 1970's recordings.
Greg, I went to that 9/3/77 show, it was at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ; big crowd, great show (I also went to 12/31/78).
I look at it in chunks of time, each with their own feel and mood. Don't overlook '68-'71, there are some great jams in there, as well as some great acoustic stuff! :)
Somewhere in my Listening Therapy stack is "Live Dead - 1969"... that may go in the queue today. :)

Weird...
I just got off a 12 hour shift and Night of the Living Dregs was one of the discs I spun.
And this is on the list for tonight's shift.
Zappa - The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life.
Zombie Woof:

The Neville Brothers - probably my favorite cover (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwEMDMsncj8)of this one.

In honor of the season, Dick Siegel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcARXrsi1fo). And in honor of tomorrow, a seasonal classic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11_nsW151tg).

New single from Terry Baucom's Dukes of Drive new album. This one is called "Tattered Window Shade" and has a catchy little hook. They'll do well on the bluegrass charts with this one.
https://youtu.be/hSEbKLlSaLs
*my old buddy, (some say stunt-double ;) ) Joe Hannabach is the bass-playing Duke here...
This jam thing is kind of interesting
https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=Y4TW70xVkmU
Nice stuff, Greg :)
I was gonna' say - I hit the link, and the rest of that 5 hours worth of jam would definitely be worth a listen, and would sure help pass some of these looooong hours, but it would burn up the rest of my data plan for this month. I've still got a sizable stack of Grateful Dead music on discs that I haven't gotten to yet though. :)
Glad to see Joe's gig working out. He's a good fit with those guys. As solid of a bluegrass bass player as they come. I need to call him, come to think of it.
Well, for you metal fans - Metallica never sounded (or looked) this good (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhOhGhq0e54).

The mechanics and coordination it must take for one person to play one of those things is mind-boggling. Well, for me anyway. Maybe it's the color-coded strings.
When Fleetwood Mac started this recent tour with Mike Campbell and Neil Finn, I hoped they would dig a little deeper into the catalog for the set list. I got a couple wishes granted by Christine McVie. In fact, right here on this thread, I mused it'd be great if a couple specific titles made the cut, and poof...
Here's "Tell Me All The Things That You Do" from their Detroit MI. show the other night. https://youtu.be/ij7Yi4qKyvE Audio quality isn't great, but the band sounds pretty tight. Campbell and Christine seem to be having a good time jamming too.
I have some catching up to do.
The Florencia Horita was very nice. She has the tone of that style dialed in and knows the licks.
Grateful Dead - 5/19/77; "The Wheel"
https://youtu.be/_ByaRvExzpU
...still listening my way through the stack, I keep coming back to this time. That must have been one fine tour to see. I hear a lot of similarities between this version and the Dead & Co. take of the tune from this past Summer.

I was planning to go to bed early tonight, but then this happened:
The Mule does Pink Floyd (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv9RlJv1E0g)
Not pro-shot, and some of the cameras are not synced with the sound, but the main camera is synced and the sound is good; and it's Government Mule doing Pink Floyd. I doubt I'll watch the whole thing tonight, but so far, it's pretty good. Doesn't sound nothing like Pink Floyd or David Gilmour, but it's not supposed to. It has, however, put a smile on my face.
Finally got around to finishing listening to the whole show (some times life....).
I enjoyed it and am always impressed with Matt Abts.
I should get out more... stumbled upon this:
Jerry Douglas, Edgar Meyer and Russ Brandenburg.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r_hi4opLik (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r_hi4opLik)
Guess who is going cd shopping? ;D
That "Skip, Hop, & Wobble" album is one of my all-time favorite instrumental projects ever, Paul. Great stuff. I'll have to dig that one out and give it a spin today. Edgar's bass solo on "Ankara to Izmir" floored me the first time I heard it, and still does every time. Here they are doing that tune live. (quite a few years ago!)
https://youtu.be/RtcJkcPBq3k
The Douglas, Meyer, and Brandenburg was nice; thanks!
If you ever get a chance to see Edgar Meyer live, do not miss it! He's astounding. There's a reason he's banned from entering fiddle competitions on the upright. He always wins!
Pauldo, cool stuff! I saw them at the Boulder Theater when that album came out, recorded the show too, I'll have to dig up that tape! :)
Greg, have you heard this version of The Wheel? It's from a Garcia album, it's my favorite version. I love the pedal steel and doubling of his vocals, great with headphones :)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rYGatU18PMQ
The original Wheel is pretty special.
That is a nice tune, Rob. Guessing Jerry played the pedal steel?
The lyrics are timely too... I'm just starting to try to play again. I can't remember ever taking this much time off from playing, but today marked the first time I've tried to practice since the operation - a little past a month ago.

Gregory, allow yourself to not practice (if necessary).
From experience... Frustrated practicing can be worse than no practice.

Slowly, but surely, the music is coming back... I sat down with my old Martin D-18 last night and played through this album I'd all but forgotten about. Then I reached for a bass. Tim Stafford is one of my favorite guitar players to play bass with... his rhythm patterns are downright sneaky! Here's two of my favorite cuts from his solo effort from a few years ago.

You poor thing; nothing that some more discerning listening sessions can't cure :)
I forgot to mention, Tim Stafford, the guitarist I linked tunes to this morning, also co-wrote Tony Rice's autobiography "Still Inside - The Tony Rice Story".
http://www.tonyricestory.com/
It's a pretty good read, but it's a little like inside baseball talk, as bluegrass is a fairly shallow pond. (meaning, if you played the music, you know half the people in the book!)

The Molly Tuttle tune was well-timed Dave, as I've been sitting here banging away on my beat up old D-18 again today, slowly finding my way back. Golly, that little girl grew up to be a fine guitar player!

That was the right tone for this morning, Dave. :)
I can't find a single track from it on YouTube, but up in my shop yesterday I listened to a various artists compilation CD of mandolin players, aptly titled- "The Young Mando-Monsters". It came out back about 1995 or so, and I want to say David Grisman had something to do with production... and as the title suggests, it featured the next generation of mandolin notables. You might wonder why Chris Thile isn't on the list... believe it or not, he had yet to catch the attention of the larger masses, but you can bet a few of the guys on this record knew of him.
Anyway, I'm sure it's stream-able if you do that, and everything is on Amazon. Indeed I had forgotten how great that album was, front to back... probably why I put it in the shop in the first place.
So don't leave us in suspense, Greg - who is on it?

I joked with Joey a couple weeks ago, how my tastes in pop country music were like a golfball teed up in a tiled bathroom... (think about that) but I liked what these guys were doing, in the relatively short time they were doing it. I sat and played bass through the whole CD last night.

Saw Leo Kottke Monday night with my son at a great venue in Minneapolis - the Guthrie Theater. I hadn't seen him play in a long time (early 90s) but his playing is still great and his banter between songs is just as bizarre and tangential as I remember.
Wagon Wheel
https://youtu.be/IBkIR1mIkaU
To Be Alive by Stanley Clarke Band. I have put this in the set list for my next gig so it's become an earworm.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjTSQEMzsrk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjTSQEMzsrk)
Thanks, Stefanie - I'd never heard that version. My son (who has friends who play in that genre, and sometimes does himself) disdains "Wagon Wheel" as "stringband 'Freebird'", but I like it a lot.
Tonight we're going to go see local bluegrass band Truman's Ridge; they do it -and I enjoy their version right up until Bruce sings "...caught a South-bound trucker, had nice long talk....". Drives me nuts.
Peter
We're playing it in one of our new years eve sets. I think it's a pretty fun easy song and people seem to like it. ;)
Jimmy and Tinsley :)
Stefanie, cool tune! I hadn't heard it before ( I live under a rock), thanks! :)
Well, Bruce flubbed the lyrics, so I didn't have to cringe at him not singing "toke". And they have a new mandolinist, who is at least as good as the old one - and plays fiddle & guitar as well (in both sense of that phrase). Plus, since I lat saw them they added a Dobroist, who ain't bad.
And it was free.........
Peter
OK, here's another version I was unfamiliar with (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ippz0BXo5jE) (and kinda wish I still was.....).
Peter (Who does realize that yes, he got the lyrics wrong in his first post complaining about the guy singing it wrong; I hate when that happens!)
Oh wow!! That version is super cool. I love the orchestra, and that accordion. Zoiks! Thanks!
I may be uniquely qualified to comment here.... but here actually in 'Roanoke', if you got any game at all, save "Wagon Wheel" for the last set tip-jar tally, and the entire bar will sing the 'nice long toke' verse for you. BT-DT... many, many times. ;D
I'm not one much for committing gratuitous bass solos, but that tune used to be one opportunity to get away with it. That was what got me over having to do it so much.
That sounds fun. My band leader would never put a bass solo on Wagon Wheel. He puts my gratuitous bass solo on the end of Comfortably Numb. I can take as long as I want, at least. Go figure. One per show. -__-;
I used to play in a semi-regular acoustic "Parlor Jam". 6-8 players going around in a circle picking songs. After a while we agreed on a "No Wagon Wheel" rule. It got to be like "No Stairway to Heaven" from Wayne's World. I hadn't thought about it for a while until I saw this thread. I don't understand Peter's post about "Bruce flubbed the lyrics" (Bruce Springsteen? Bruce Lee? Bruce Willis? Jack Bruce? Bruce Banner?), but the thread raised my curiosity as I didn't remember "toke" in the song - I just sang harmony on the chorus. So I looked up the lyrics on-line and was flabbergasted to find the song was co-written by none other than Mr. Zimmerman himself!

Bruce is the banjo player for Truman's Ridge, who does the lead vocal on it for them. See my post about 10 above this one.
Here's Bob doing what he had (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNTsYfjBcuQ), but didn't use, for Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid; this is what Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show heard (decades later) & wrote the verses we use now.

Man, that was nice, Dave! And from the sidebar on it - can you ever have too many all-star versions of "The Weight" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlgDC6mOU0o)?? Why, no - no, you can't!

Speaking of sidebars and covers this one popped up for me.

The Eriks Esenvalds was nice.
Peter; back in the mid 80's when I was playing in the house band at a country bar, Waltz Across Texas was a regular in the set list. After I clicked your link, I didn't watch more than a few seconds, as I've done had my fill of that tune. The proverbial been there done that to death.
In a weird coincidence, I'm out for a walk through greater Masons Cove, and I can hear someone BLASTING "Comfortably Numb" from "The Wall"...
*it was on somebody's radio.
Was that an Ampeg scroll bass in "Waltz Across Texas"? :o
Time to reminisce here... on the subject of 'done that song to death', that song was at the top of my Dad's Bluegrass and Country Band's setlist. Their bass players would always let me sit in anytime I wanted, so I learned that one at an early age! One guy they had, an older gentleman named Roscoe Sweeney, had the heaviest Fender I have ever played, an Antigua-finished Jazz from the late-70's. Heavier than two of my Alembics put together. Roscoe Sweeney showed me how to play "Waltz Across Texas". Probably so he could get out of it. ;D
I don't remember how they ever came up with the name of that band... but it was The Omega IV or V (depending on whether or not the fiddle player was with them). It seems like a strange name for a Bluegrass and Country Band now, or then either for that matter. I don't think any of them were ever in a fraternity. If I remember correctly they were all either Korea or Vietnam vets. I'm guessing they just like the sound of the word! It must have stuck with me too... (see avatar at left)
Beth Hart Sunday...
https://youtu.be/DuDhiHSksaA
Dave - yeah, I can see how that could happen. But think how many Ernest must have played it!
Greg - yes, that's a AUB-1. And I am always amazed the weight variation you find in supposedly identical Fenders; I've played Teles that about broke my back, and Teles that you couldn't tell were there.
Stefanie - loving the Beth Hart!
Peter
Another gift from the dusty pile of CD's in my shop... rediscovered yesterday afternoon. This is from a concert of people playing the violins of master-maker, Bob Childs, aptly titled- "Childsplay" and features Aoife O'Donovan singing the lead parts.
https://youtu.be/WAncoe6bF80
That was a nice way to wake up this morning :)
Thanks for the Childsplay.
Thanks for all of it! While I do love my old favorites, I'm always looking to hear something new and good - and I gotta say, I'm not finding it on the radio anymore. You folks are my lifeline!

Martin, in the banjo world, is an interesting kind of switch-hitter, that can easily play both styles. This is one of my favorites to hear him play the melodic frailed-style on, and the title is well-suited to this weekend as we wait for the year's first Winter storm to hit-

Looks like the winter storm is here. Watching it snow and listening to the CD from Baker & Honeycutt, Straight From The Porch (which features one of our club members on mandolin, guitar, banjo, bass, and vocal).

My musical partner in that joint venture just had a knee replacement yesterday. He was a student of the late-great Mike Auldridge, and is a regular member of the Americana group 'Carrington Kay' nowadays.

*stay safe down there Dave... to hear the radio, you'd think Snowmageddon was upon us. ;D
Nice title to that tune.
The Edie Brickell appearance was a surprise.

They invited everyone up after to try their instruments; of course I jumped at the chance. I could not even manage to hold berimbau & disc in such a manner that I could
make contact with the string!

Quite a few years ago, Elixir Guitar Strings put together a couple volumes of Holiday music on CD... various artists you may or may not have heard of. Usually at this point in the season, I'm about ready to listen to anything else, having been in rehearsal since early October for Christmas Band, and played a series of concerts, but I've quite enjoyed this one the past couple days.
The lead-off tune from Volume 2 is a reinterpretation of J.S. Bach's "Joy", by Dave Beegle. https://youtu.be/lk3PoDO0Xuc
Thanks guys, Don ho, was one of mom in law's favorites. Izzy, always awesome. Thanks!!
Cool one, Greg. I've been practicing that tune with my synth bass; I'm a one man quartet, three synth strings and the bass through the mag pickups, it's fun and pretty cool! :)
Just got back from a holiday concert by an ukulele orchestra; not on a level with the berimbau one, but fun.

Nice Fish video. The sound quality of the video is good and her playing comes through nicely.
Steven Wilson - Luminol (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3MpGBwGdVk) Live
In addition to his original compositions, Steven Wilson is also known for remixing albums by other artists.
One of his remixes is Fragile by Yes; and here is Heart Of The Sunrise (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gsxrzxRCx8).
It's very different; one might say it's reimagined. I like it. Some of the changes are a bit jarring; some are beautiful. But it's like listening to a very familiar song through different eyes (as opposed to ears); ie you see the song from a very different perspective. And it's new again.
And here is Siberian Khatru (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oksI8fXKtyE) from Close To The Edge as remixed by Steven Wilson. I like this one too!

Almost forgot, The Steve Wilson, interesting! First time hearing it.
BASta!2 - Vertigo. Joris Vanvinckenroye on Double Bass. Great Looping! He is also the Bassist for the Belgian group - Aranis. There is also a bit of flute too.

Steven Wilson has grown on me. I first heard him with Porcupine Tree, which immediately got my attention. And some of the things he's done since have increased my appreciation.

I never heard this album of hers before - I like it. :-D
The Joey Alexander Trio at NPR Tiny Desk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NIFz8wRvMs)
It's somewhat surprising that one of my favorite musicians is someone this young, but there is maturity and mastery in both his playing and composing; and it's stuff that I like listening to.
Wow, David, I really like that Joey Alexander piece, thanks for sharing!
One of the comments tickled me... "too young to be a jazz cat = jazz kitten." :)
Rediscovering the joy of playing with a pick on the T-I Jazz Rounds of my old Distillate this week, I finally tore into the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas CD's. I'll spare you all the linkage. ;D

Trippy!
A quick search finds that the keyboard player is an original member of the band, and the band has been around since 1968, off and on. According to Wikipedia, their first album "came with a warning label that insisted you should "only listen once a day to this record. Your brain might be destroyed," which led to the album being banned in several countries including the USA".

Wow! I was surprised because I was heavily into euro psychedelic bands from the 70s and hadn't heard them before. New jeopardy category lol. That song came over the radio channel I was listening to and ba-zing! What the heck moment that was.
Stefanie, thanks for sharing that. I also have never heard of Brainticket. They are added to my "list".
This the greatest thread on the whole WWW. So much to glean from here. Sometimes things resonate deeply, sometimes they slide off, but the fundamental take away is a broadening horizon of Music.
Music is magic. Those that "get it", like us here, appreciate artistic endeavors of others and sometimes it makes us giggle, cry, reflect, bounce, bop and run around the room.
A while back my niece had her first choir performance at the college she is attending, she also did a dance performance. It was streamed live, a large choir, 100+ voices, full orchestra and their finale was Oh Come All Ye Faithful.... old tired, played out, heard it a thousand times...
BUT
They nailed it, and near the end of the song the camera pans the singing heads and there is a woman singing with tears streaming down her cheeks, the camera continues panning and the woman next to her is caught with a sob gasping out of her throat as she holds on - and I am sobbing, caught in the present moment and relishing the raw passion. And THAT is what music is, not the notes on the paper but that deep reaching, soul stirring feeling.
And hence this thread allows me to dabble in other arenas and it is truly appreciated.
Thanks to all that contribute to this thread.

As Monty Python says, 'And now for something completely different . . . . . . '
I subbed on 'The Grand Ole Opry' a few times in the early 90's. Back then, all the old-timers were still alive and kicking. Monroe, Mr. Acuff, Hank Snow, you could go down there and see them all and get a great education in earlier Country Musics. They're all gone now, but I treasure those days to hear those masters still plying their trade. Bill Monroe asked me to 'hold this while I fix my tie' and handed me his F5 Mandolin: I almost started shaking !
And so many not as famous. Jumpin' Bill Carlisle and the Carlisles were there many times, and I always got a laugh out of this silly little tune, and the crowd just loved it. Note that he's capo'd the Gibson, and then rubber-banded a price tag over the strings to get that washboard sound, was it better capo'd ? ? ?
In those days, and I mean this in the best way possible, the Opry with all of those legends was like going to your Grandparents' house. Like a lot of things, we won't see their like again.
i enjoyed that, Joey. thanks!

Yes, they are. :) Something about the mannerisms and posture of the one on the left reminds me a lot of our guitar player.
This one is on my list for 2019... I learned it years ago as "If E'er I Return Pretty Peggy-O", and I'm guessing Jerry did too.
https://youtu.be/mqXuFFymIdI
After listening to a handful of takes of "Peggy-O" I really like the pocket they had here.
The son & one of the grandkids are still asleep, so I'll listen to that one latter, Greg - but I will say I have loved the version from 8/8/82 since it happened.
Peter
Honorable mention for version from the 9/3/77 Englishtown, N.J. show too, (hat-tip rv_bass, who allegedly was there... ;) ) but my disc has a wicked skip right in the middle of the first guitar solo. The whole reason I went looking in the first place.
For the sake of discussion, on that 9/3/77 take, Phil does a litlle bass thing at the end of the line "I would marry you, but your guineas are so few... and I fear my momma would be angry-o." When I first heard it, I nearly wrecked the freakin' car. Genius. Still genius on alternate versions, but that was an inspired moment.
One of my favorites, Greg. :)

You can simply paste the full URL for a YouTube video into your post, and the video gets embedded. The auto-embed does not work if you insert the URL as a hyperlink; this is why some older posts do not get the auto-embed while other posts do.
For Vimeo and Soundcloud there is no auto-embed, but you can use the buttons on the posting toolbar to embed.
Happy posting!
What is meant by "rubber band bass part"? Does that just mean repeating line? Is it just generic to funk?
OK,let me see if if I get this:

Andy Timmons and Martin Miller -
Still Got The Blues
Timmons & Miller is nice, Dave. What a voice! I'd like to try my hand at playing bass in some bigger production blues like that sometime.
I've been spending more time playing a Starfire bass lately, so I've reverted back to the School of Jack.
I wish there was more available than just a couple tunes from this show, but I can't find it if there is.
The School of Jack! ;D Haven't listened to Mann's Fate in awhile - thanks for that.
Jack really is where it's at. Phrasing, technique and tone with bonus eyebrows! And he makes it looks so easy.
Spider Web Music...
http://news.mit.edu/2019/spider-web-music-inspiring-harmony-art-and-science-0108
The version of Moondance (https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=moondance+by+bobby+mcferrin+youtube&view=detail&mid=FF1F7D3BA584FA61647AFF1F7D3BA584FA61647A&FORM=VIRE) by Bobby McFerrin. I've just been sent it in a setlist for an upcoming gig.
That is a neat version of Moondance, Jazzy... almost has a seasonal feel about it with that slower gait.
I've been listening to this up in my shop all evening. Two masters of acoustic music doing a taste test of sorts on an assortment of vintage guitars and mandolins.
Listen when you have time to take the whole thing in... (55 minutes or so) it really is fantastic. Both Grisman and Rice were in their prime when this was tracked.
Well, there's nothing wrong with the School of Jack, of course - but let's not forget Vassar College:

I appreciate it and find it entertaining.
Reminds me, I haven't spun "Dark Side of the Moon" in a good while now... that may have to happen in the shop this afternoon. :)
I've seen those, but never watched one before; it was kind of interesting (and brought memories of the first time I heard it).
Which took me back to one of my favorites, from the album I consider to be their zenith:

I just watched an ACL rerun with Tom Waits from '78 - highly recommended!! A nice primer on why he's so great; also on why he's always been so......um, shall we say peripheral?
Couldn't find a vid from that show, but here's one from the same era of one of the songs he did:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3FArY6Gj8s
Peter
I told this story here back in 2010, so I guess it's o.k. to tell it again.
I saw Waits open for Martin Mull & His Fabulous Furniture at the Troubadour in L.A. in about '74 or '75. About half an hour into the set, Waits reaches into his inside pocket on his sports jacket and pulls out an open beer. He takes a long slug, looks at the audience, and says, as only Tom Waits can, "came with the coat".
Bill, tgo

How'd I miss that one, Dave?
A blues band I bet you never heard of, but should have-
4 Jacks.
I recently bought a Starfire bass from the bassist, Steve Mackey, who is Nashville, Tennessee based. It's a wonder we never met back when I lived there back in my day, since we seemed to know almost all the same guys! Music really is a small world. Anyway, Steve is a great player, and a super-nice guy. When I got the Starfire from him, this CD was in the case with it. I've been enjoying it immensely! Here's the instrumental title cut, but this whole album, and a couple more are on YouTube.
Mandolin Orange - Boots of Spanish Leather ...one of my favorite tunes...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iOHkyZ62jjQ&list=RDiOHkyZ62jjQ&start_radio=1
I've seen the name, Mandolin Orange, several times recently, but this was the first time I've had a listen. Very nice! However, I did not care for the camera work. The light was very nice, as was the audio quality. But the jerky camera movements were causing physical discomfort.
4Jacks - just the basic stuff.
David, I agree, the constantly moving camera make me a little sea sick.
A couple from Duke Robillard & Herb Ellis:

Sierra Hull
This is mostly just talking and noodling around, but her playing on these instruments is nice, and the first instrument is interesting.

Rob, I'll see your Help on the Way, and raise you an Eyes of the World a buddy of mine sent me the other day... I hadn't heard this one, but I'm told this 9/7/73 show may be the first one where Jerry played "Wolf", and you can kinda' hear he's enjoying that.
I just saw these guys play here in Roanoke last night... my buddy John is writing about them for Bluegrass Today so we went and caught their act. Crazy skills all around in this band. I especially enjoyed meeting and talking to Vince, their bassist during the break.

An ebow, he may actually be using two in that video!
Normally guitarists use them, they set up a magnetic field that gets the string vibrating and the result can be some amazing harmonics... IF you know what you are doing - ask me how I know! :o
Thanks, Pauldo, pretty cool effect!
Nice Eyes of the World, Greg, good bluegrass stuff too!
Confession: watching Lawrence Welk this evening, my parents always watched it and seeing reruns is a hoot.
They covered this song and it is truly a timeless classic that TODAY is probably even more important. How do we get our society back into loving the planet, themselves and each other instead of greed and egos?
Nice, Pauldo!

John Hartford, Vassar Clements, Tony Rice, Jerry Douglas, Mark O'Connor, and I think that's David Holt back there on rhythm guitar -
Old Time River Man
Yep, if I remember right, David Holt was one of the co-hosts or something. The house bassist on
"The American Music Shop" was Glenn Worf, who also went on to bigger things. So much influence of my formative years on that stage... I believe that song, like many of Hartford's, must have made an impression on Tony. He recorded it on an album with his brothers, changing very little. (left out the 'pop-song' verse, that was mostly signature Hartford tongue-in-cheek humor)
I haven't started listening yet, but in a recent visit, my Cousin Graham loaned me all the
Doc and Merle Watson volumes from
Bear's Sonic Journals.
I remember that the American Music Shop program was very good. I also recall that at one point David Holt hosted a weekly program on North Carolina PBS channels focused on Appalachian mountain music.

Aaaaaaah - Fly Like an Eagle was the very first record I bought. I never saw this performance, and I'm almost as excited to listen as I was to see Steve Miller wearing a huipil (I was probably wearing one when I got the album!). But why does the audience look so sad?
^5s! The audience didn't know what hit them, lol. ;) But, I love this version much more compared to the studio version.

The huipil seals it. I got one at a gig for a fashion show in 1979. We had to wear white pants, too. But it was worth it.
We've been binging
Justified, and this was played a few times on the first season; I'd heard (and liked) a few versions by other artists, but never by Darrel Scott, who wrote it. So I've YTed several versions by him; here's a pretty good one:
Peter (who, besides being a labor historian and thus interested in Harlan County, is the grandson & great-grandson of coal miners)
Great tune, Coz... hard to beat Darrell Scott. You ever hear Patty cover that one? It's on her "Mountain Soul" album, (up in my dusty shop somewhere...) but it's all over YouTube too.
Yeah, I've heard several of her versions.
Peter
Coz, I kept thinking about this song yesterday because of "Harlan Alive"... it comes from Hazard, Kentucky in the next county. I spent a few years of childhood in further southwest Virginia, in Wise and Russell Counties, where my Dad worked in limestone and granite quarries, (rather than the coal mines) so the story is a familiar one. Thought it might go along with your study in the same way.

Nice Porkpie Hat.
Tonight we went to "Jazz At The Egyptian"; fundraiser for local school music programs at (wait for it) the Egyptian Theater.
First up was Jazz In Progress; local community big band - players ranging, at a guess, from late 40s to late 70s who've been doing it for decades. They are........OK.
Then the DeKalb HS Jazz Ensemble, who (as expected) proceeded to blow JIP right off the risers. I used to sub at DKHS, and this group is, year in and year out, always impressive. Senior trumpeter in particular shone. I mean, he can blow!
After DeKalb came the Sycamore HS Jazz Ensemble; not on a level with DeKalb's, but still better than the old farts (who, don't get me wrong, aren't bad for hobbyists).
Headliner was the Northern Illinois University Jazz Orchestra; these kids lack only a paycheck to be pro.
Closed with the HS seniors joining the NIU band for one number. A good time was had by all.

I have a fond appreciation for young performers, admittedly I have played in a similar 'senior' band myself and we do have fun. But seeing young people with a passion for their craft is always enjoyable.
This evening I stopped to pick up take-out Chinese and one of the boys was doing his piano practices in the waiting area, he does need to practice more but I thanked him for playing and affirmed that music is good for the soul.
Hadn't seen that Pork Pie Hat, very nice. Thanks!
I shared the 'custom speaker' link with a friend and he replied back about the slate turntable not having a moonrock needle... so I Googled that and came up with this:

Fun stuff.
42 years ago today...
some Rumours got started on FM radio, and like a fire-breathing dragon, another Alembic bass burned its way into rock history. The Chain
Oh Daddy
I'll be listening to the album in its entirety this evening (and playing along!) but these are a couple of my favorites, brought to you by the 'Continuously Fretted' Custom. *Yes, these are remasters, but I'm actually okay with this particular one 2004 remaster... Rumours was infamously a bit of a mess by the time they got through tracking. I was a little irritated they left out the shattering glass on "Gold Dust Woman", because to me that means they did more than remaster, but like a lot of things about my favorite band, I've learned to live with it. I've never thought they messed with John's bass. If anything, they brought it up in the mix on several tunes. Mick's drums seem a lot more crisp than they used to be too, though I really can't imagine how they did that. Anyway, I have chosen to let bygones be bygones today, and remember the good times.

Michael Cleveland sawing it up really good...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69dcFjW0RZ4
I figured Robin had to be a relative of Clark Kessinger, the West Virginia fiddler of great renown... sure enough, it's his great-uncle.
Which relates directly to Paul's post with fiddler Michael Cleveland, who will certainly go into the history books as one of the finest to ever rosin up a bow. He in turn, would be among the first to tell you about the Clark Kessingers, and Bobby Taylors, and Buddy Pendletons who paved those dusty crooked roads down here in this little corner of the world.
Cool tunes guys.

I'm still listening to that Dead & Co. show from last Summer... a buddy of mine at work went to the 6/22/18 show at Alpine Valley, and made me a copy. I was listening to the 2nd set up in the shop last night, while working on a rocking chair. Somehow seems fitting.

OK, yeah -to be honest, I must admit I do, indeed, like that kind of stuff!
And, while I understand why you singled out (doubled out?) Jer's & Phil's instruments on this forum, in the interest of thoroughness, I will add that Bobby's playing one of several iterations of his Ibanez "Cowboy Fancy" custom designs, and Keith's on a Yamaha CP70B.
It looks to me like Bill & Mickey had switched to Sonor by this point, but my drum eye is not developed enough to state that as a certainty.

I like the Money song the best, the camera works is terrible but this was the place we went to every weekend back in the day so it was pretty cool to find this. It's funny I was watching some of his newer videos and Frampton's voice is still great. So many people blow out their voices over the years. Not the case with him.
Frampton flashback!
Thanks Stefanie that took me way back. We used to play Plain Shame in a band I joined right after high school.
Frampton fun fact... he played on Whistle Rhymes with the Ox.

I had the privilege of seeing them, too - and yeah, they were great! Even better, they were opening for John Hartford, and it was an outdoor gig on a perfect day.
Peter (whose only complaint was how long it took the soundman to get the mic on John's clogging plywood to his satisfaction)
When I saw Hartford back in the mid '70's, he called it his "stompboard". He was great in concert.
Bill, tgo
I saw him in fall '76 or spring '77 - and yes, he was.

I didn't like disco when it came out and I still don't, but I like that version...
After spending the last two weekends visiting friends and family back in North Carolina, I kept thinking about this Travis tune I sometimes play with my Cousin Graham out in Boone... it's true,
I got a lotta'
"Kinfolks in Carolina". ;D
Every now and then, I just get this perverse need to dip into the dark, seamy underbelly of '60s music.......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb-SVPJM4L4
Peter (who has no good excuse for this, and begs your forgiveness)
Peter - admittedly that truly was dark and seamy and strangely smelled of an underbelly. Stranger still I couldn't turn away.
Myself I stumbled upon a short Instagram post about Mark Hollis, with an abbreviated musical bit from his solo album... it was haunting. I Googled him, apparently he was in Talk Talk, a band from the 80's. I didn't listen to radio in the 80's. Knew the name and my wife sang a couple of their tunes for me. But this snippet from his solo album has depth that exceeds anything possible from an 80's radio band. I needed to know more.
Apparently Mark recently passed so off to YouTube I go seeking his 1998 self-titled solo release. Found a playlist of all 8 tracks, thought I would listen a bit to each. Ended up listening all the way through.
From Wikipedia:
Hollis has been credited with saying: "Before you play two notes, learn how to play one note. And don't play one note unless you've got a reason to play it."
He also commented: "The silence is above everything, and I would rather hear one note than I would two, and I would rather hear silence than I would one note."
The opening track starts with a profound 0:18 of silence. The whole album carries a delectable melancholy as well as an array of woodwinds that are used in a sparse yet appropriate manner.

Steve Miller's song Jet Airliner was written by Paul Pena, a musician who went on a journey to Tuva to learn the art of throat singing. Here he incorporates that style with the blues:

OK, so now I fell like a serious wuss because I don't play my classical very much, owing to the difficulty I have with its 2" nut........
Peter
Ohh, my left hand was cramping up just watching that!
Sure is a beautiful piece of music.
Enjoyed the Townes Van Zandt, Coz. I once received a little gift in life... just by pure luck and happenstance, during my time as a starving bass player in Nashville, I ended up in a jam with that gentleman late once night. He died on New Year's just a few weeks later.
Recently got my hands on the 50 year anthology of Fleetwood Mac,
"Don't Stop". Really enjoying the remasters. I never thought about it from an originalist perspective, but they really do sound good.
I would love to know which bass John is playing here... I do think it's one of his Alembics, but which? Doesn't sound like the fretless. Doesn't sound like 73-27 usually does either. Could it be the mysterious 'Penguin & Porpoise' bass with the crazy-custom electronics? Or the Graphite-neck short-scale? Or just the remaster playing tricks on my ears?
The ten string piece was nice; thanks!
These guys opened for Tedeschi Trucks Band about 5 years ago and we picked up a couple of their cd's at the show... dusted one off last night at work and then questing on YouTube to see what was going on this morning - found this.

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:
Peter
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.
https://youtu.be/G5BtuebZ6oQ
Nice tone. Audience camera, moving around some, but sound of the guitar coming through quite nicely.

That's FANTASTIC Goran. The passage at about 13:40 in the second video is positively mind-blowing. File under; "if I had two lifetimes I still could not think that fast"... Wow!
I'm also reminded that in addition to just practice in general, I need to work on my 5-string upright project. ::)
Joe Pass -
All The Things You Are
That was really nice. *Fluid*. Someone in the comments suggested that's Stephen King on bass... whoever it is in those shadows, they are laying down some cool lines.
Here's
"Satin Doll" I think from that same show.
Very nice, Dave & Greg!
Peter (who, on New Year's Eve '78-'79, was nailed a serious kiss by the woman who inspired "Satin Doll")
And a very nice Satin Doll!
The bass player looks quite comfortable sitting on a stool with the bass in a more reclined position than usual for an upright.
Peter; from what I've been able to ascertain, Billy Strayhorn named his composition Satin Doll for his mother, Lillian Young Strayhorn, who died in 1966. :)

I saw Alex Blake with Randy Weston about ten years ago, he sat really low behind the bass, and sometimes it would be nearly horizontal. Also an Alembic player, with Manhattan Transfer.

Yeah, of the Joe Pass videos I've seen, those two might be my favorites. I might try to find the whole concert.
A correction on the bass player. It's Bob Magnusson on bass and Joe Porcaro on drums.
Hmm. I guess she - and several others who had known her long enough to have gone to clubs with her where he was playing when she was young - may have misinformed me, Dave. Or, given the state both she & I were usually in in those days, perhaps I am disremembering the details. She was supposed to have had some connection to the tune & to Duke.
(And, at about 60, living on a bar stool, her spine twisted with rheumatoid arthritis, chain-smoking while constantly wrapped around a G&T, she still had enough of whatever it was [/size]she'd had back then[/size] that my 22-y-o eyes could see it; this was one high-class dame, I'm tellin' ya!)

Check. ;) I'm that guy who always reads the liner notes to see who played what. ;D I was really taken by the bass parts, and thought about upright all day. Unfortunately, I had too much to do after work yesterday evening, and was just
done by the time I had time to play. Maybe today.
Is Joe related to Jeff Porcaro, who played with Toto a long time ago?
Yes, Joe is Jeff, Mike and Steve's father.
Thanks!
Thanks Jimmy J & Growly... I was wondering the same thing. :)
Fleetwood Mac - "Sisters of the Moon" Largo, Maryland, 1979. (So I guess this is from the early days of the Tusk Tour.)
https://youtu.be/CqEDj2DEUMw
John is killin' it with his continuously fretted Custom Series I.5 here. I've seen parts of this show before, and that bass just sounds positively vicious... instantly recognizable. If you don't care for the tune, run it forward to about 3:30 and listen to the jam-out. ;)
John really was killing it... how can he not with a bass as such?
A friend shared this with me... not sure how I feel about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qlqe1DXnJKQ
I thought the bass player looked familiar. I met him 40 years ago (wow, it hurt to say that - I had to count, and then I didn't believe it) at the Baked Potato in Los Angeles when he was supporting Joe Diorio. Very nice man.
The drone band is cool. Admittedly a bit scary, but cool.

Robert Glasper Trio
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l9fJ97sF0qA
The Robert Glasper was nice! Substitutions are something I've never worked with. Here, with the bass player continuing to hold the original structure, Glasper's substitutions came alive for me. Thanks for posting!
Oh, and I think I heard him quote "If I Only Had A Brain", though it may have just been coincidence.
This is nice ...

Another remaster of a very recent Fleetwood Mac tune. It's a shame things ended up like they did, especially whenthey did, 'cause this one was catchy as all get-out. Christine apparently wrote "
Sad Angel", and it was a perfect fit for the Rumours-era band.
...and John's bass parts are just so much fun! I just finished playing through it with old

I really like mashups and we do a few with the band I play with. When I had found this I thought, neat someone took a bunch of these oldies (I love) and mashed them up in a really interesting way.

A real thrill to play, you couldn't just settle into a groove you had to be on your toes for the next change.

That's a great Peggy-O, Rob... it's become my second set 'featuring Greg on Bass' tune. :) (I used this one, and the 9/3/77 Englishtown, NJ version as the primary models for mine)

Sadly, no. One we've been doing lately is just three songs, That's All Right Mama, Burning Ring of Fire and They Call me the Breeze going back and forth between them. We really need something other than cell phone videos. I can never hear the bass in them, besides them just sounding like crap to start with.
Medley 9 is much more complex than what we do. Very well done! I enjoyed it :)
I've been working on "Come Together" into "West L.A. Fadeaway" and back into "Come Together".
Bill, tgo
A somewhat professionally-shot video of Dead & Co. covering
"Peggy-O" On the subject of mash-ups and medleys... one of the more successful ones we do to finish out sets is Old Joe Clark > My Love Will Not Change and back for a big finish. Borrowing heavily from Sam and Del.
(sometimes, depending on Joshua's sense of humor or lack of judgement, Snoop Dog's
"Gin and Juice" will sneak in there too... and friends, you have not heard blue-collar comedy the way it was meant to be rendered until you've heard a genuine Franklin Co. country-boy throw it dowm freestyle.)
All these mashups sound like fun! :D
Loved the Railroad Earth. What a nice way to wake up today.
Nice solo by Mayer on Peggy-O.

Johnny Winter - SUZIE Q (Live at Rockpalast)
Miles Davis...Sketches of Spain and Kind of Blue as we are getting whacked with 12-24 inches of snow and 50-60 mph winds in western MN. Luckily I just flew down to Kansas City about 680 miles south where it was almost 80 degrees today.
Just noticed an old posting of mine from 4/17/2014 also about listening to Miles and also about getting 12-19 inches of snow in mid April. That's why we will never be "full" in MN.
So far, spring here in Asheville has been delightful. But that hasn't precluded listening to Miles.
Rhiannon Giddens - I'm On My Way
Thanks Dave!
... lovely voice, great arrangement and the processing of the hand drum really adds some serious depth.
Listening to her sing Lost on The River now.
Just more examples as to why this is the greatest thread ever. From phunky fun aliens jamming on a street corner to new "how come I never heard of this person before" moments, there is always something.
8) :D
So true. I Love this thread for that reason. I never know what I'll come across and that keeps it very interesting.
Very Nice, David, thanks for sharing that one!
Reminds me of another tune..." ...sure don't know what I'm goin' for, but I'm gonna go for it for sure..." :)
There is a lot of music I wouldn't have discovered independently if not for this thread. Sometimes I get behind on listening though, and have to go back a couple pages to catch up, and there's always a treat. The other day I rediscovered where Rob had posted the instrumental
Little Martha last Fall and it stuck in my head all day again!
I've been listening to (and playing along with) the 1975 Fleetwood Mac 'White Album' this week, during what little bit of time I've had to play. Got John's bass parts on
Blue Letter nailed down.
Note to Dave: #77-621 really sings on this one! ;)
Kate Wolf.
Bruce Hornsby with Jack DeJohnette - Absolute Zero
Trey Anastasio - Ghosts of the Forest
Cool tune, David, the guitar reminds me of Clapton's sound in the 80s.

Here's a long-time favorite (I've probably posted before)
Toto - end credits music from Dune (it's the best part of the movie, well that and when Alia says "And how can this be? For he is the Kwisatz Haderach!")
I have a vague recollection of doing the "I Ain't Drunk" tune in some band at some point a long time ago.
Oh, and Debbie Davies; saw her fronting her own trio at the Double Door in Charlotte a few decades ago. She was great.
oOOoh nice! I hadn't heard her before but checked out some of her YT and yes she is great!
Medeski Martin & Wood....Bemsha Swing/Lively Up Yourself :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75Ma7X2-Pfw
Loved the Bemsha Swing/Lively Up Yourself; thanks!
Ana Popovic - House Burning Down
Audience vid, but captures a nice performance of this Hendrix tune, including a nice broken string/guitar switch save where the bass player covers the vocals.
Wow!
There are moments where Ana is playing that guitar like it said something bad about her mother... wonder she didn't break more strings.
Another "why haven't I heard of this musician before?"
Brilliant.
This is still great: https://youtu.be/7XvlsM39C-U We cover that with our rock band, too - took me a while learning to play it on the Spyder, especially the Bach-like part starting at 3:15.

I briefly worked with the bass player at a motorcycle shop in Tomahawk. Before we knew that we both were bassists we were talking music and turns out we both are fans of Mike Watt.
And one for 4/20. I heard it on WMSE for (my) first time this morning... got home and couldn't get out of the Jeep until it was over. 8)
The Legend of the SS Titanic by Jamie Brockett.
Bela Fleck and Flecktones. I love what Bela Fleck does with his instrument so much I tend to forget that the band includes the Victor Wooten and his brother. Great to learn they are touring this summer.

Our Springtime custom,
New River Bound has started kicking around some tunes we'd like to work on for this year. Caleb and Jess do a great job choosing instrumentals that they really compliment each other's play with, so Brian and I just focus on creating interesting rhythm patterns underneath their melodies. It makes for a kinda' strange drive that sometimes raises the ire of those who would prefer a traditional approach. But we're just doing what we do, and the joy comes through. This one got pitched a couple
uears years ago, and I liked it then too... lots of room for the bass to weave... here's a couple different takes on
"Walk Along John To Kansas".
*edited goofy spelling, but left it because it made me laugh! ;D
Stefanie, thanks for that. Such pure rock-n-f'n-roll! No pretentiousness, just raw.
I wanted to smash their instruments at the end of that last song. :D ;D
Each member shines in that brief session... but that keyboardist!!!!
Disappointed that they didn't make it "big", but grateful beyond words that the WWW has given them an archive that we all can enjoy.

That might be the earliest Nickel Creek I've seen. And that's some flat-out playin'.

This was the first song I heard from Nickel Creek, the lyrics are what captured me. Then as I discovered more of their music their musicianship took over.

Hadn't heard Lighthouse's Tale in a while; nice to hear it again. And yes, they're even younger in that one, but the playing is still great.

Head Hunters has been in heavy rotation for about a week. A tenor sax friend came over today and we did a duet version of Chameleon. Good fun.
For Stevie Nicks, who is recovering from the flu... the band postponed the last leg of the tour, and rescheduled the dates for later this year... hey, Influenza ain't no joke at any age, especially 70. Rock on, ancient queen, indeed. One of my favorite McVie parts in this one, almost sounds fretless. I think it's the maple/purpleheart Tobias Basic 4 though. It was in the live show anyway.
The last band I was in, we played Chameleon. Kinda. I did take liberties with the bass line.
Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real (yeah, he's Willie's kid):
Peter
Chameleon!!
That is a fun bass line.
Back in high school I had a trombonist friend and he and I would just groove on that for waaaayyyy too long. ;D
Same band, but playing a bluegrass version of The Chain
I enjoyed that interpretation of
"The Chain", Dave. I do wish they would've given Todd Parks a little more room during the bass solo, as he is a monstrous talent. (and a super-nice guy too) :)
On the Grassicana front- our FOH guy at a show the other night played me the Infamous Stringdusters covering the Allman Bros. classic jam,
"Jessica".
Just back from a big band rehearsal with a bad drummer. I'm listening to the metronome to relax.
Doug Johns is amazing. I simply love how he plays...
The Jessica cover was nice!

Still digging the Andy Wood this morning. Man, those guys can play! :)
I've posted it here before, but I played through the entire "High Lonesome Sound" album last night, stopping to work on a couple tunes. Lee Sklar is just brilliant. I didn't care for that record at all when Vince put it out, but it's become one of my just-push-play favorites now.
Interesting thing about Andy Wood; he's a great guitar player in a lot of different styles, but he considers mandolin to be his primary instrument, and he says that a lot of his writing for the guitar-centered pieces is done on the mandolin. His right-hand cross picking technique while playing chords is just one of the things that I like about his playing.
I can hear that in his playing too. There are some who never quite learn to treat the two instruments differently though, and you really have to. It's just like speaking another language... some of the syntax is similar, so a translation is possible, but to be fluent you have to think in that language. I think for a few reasons, mandolin just 'makes sense' to some. Maybe it's the fifths tuning, that makes the scales more symmetrical than they are with a standard tuned guitar. Maybe it's just having fewer choices of notes.
I don't consider myself anything other than a bass player, but mandolin is my second instrument, and somewhat weirdly, it's always seemed both upside-down and backwards from bass. ::)
I also enjoyed the Andy Wood, more the first video some monster playing, prefer the original Chain.
Funny thing Gregory, a friend was just asking for an opinion on wether he should get a ukulele or a mandolin. I mentioned the same as as you... the mandolin -it's an upside down, backwards bass.
I also consider it my second instrument although I am a far cry from Chris Thile, although he certainly is an inspiration.
Here was a fun little mandolin thing a bunch of us did a few years ago... my buddy Tara is quite the ringleader when it comes to organizing grand scale pranks. I remember posting about this somewhere here back when we did it. :)
I don't have a second instrument or a second language. With both instruments and languages it's all I can do to struggle with just one.

OK, right now I'm listening to something that's only in my head; I'm hearing c.'72 Dead doing a Pig rave-up on Sam The Sham's "Little Red Riding Hood". Call me crazy, but I think it would have been amazing........

"Light As A Feather". I return to this a few afternoons a year. It was an ear-changer for me in my early career as a player. Has a special place in my musical heart. And but for t, I wouldn't have found Stanley, and I wouldn't have my Alembic.
"Light As A Feather" is a long-time favorite for me as well.
Here's the title track from Light As A Feather
Chick Corea – Fender Rhodes electric piano
Stanley Clarke – double bass
Joe Farrell – flute, soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone
Airto Moreira – drums, percussion
Flora Purim – vocals, percussion
Hard to go wrong with Chick Corea & Stanley Clarke. :)
Here's a native son of California doing one I'm currently working on for HGB's second set- "featuring Greg on bass and vox". I really don't know why they have to do that. ::)

So I listened to
"Reckoning" yesterday afternoon, and could not get the slinky groove of this one out of my head. Must have done this tune 1000 times myself over the years, and it never stuck like that before.

That was fun Coz. [sigh] I miss my BIG Mopars. I never had an E-body 'Cuda or Challenger like the Vanishing Point car, but I did have a couple Chargers back in the day... still got my t-shirt from the Dodge Charger Registry and the last meet I went to. (it probably fits again now...) When I was on my Nashville crash-diet, I ran in an '87 Shelby Z badged Daytona, with t-tops. It was just a little bit zippier than the stock model, but it would get me home to Virginia in a hurry when needed. Super-fun to drive, but if you didn't keep the rubber treated, those t-tops squeaking were enough to make a preacher cuss! The current gig-mobile is an '07 Dodge Caliber I have a love/hate relationship with. My first official gig-mobile was a '77 Dodge Tradesman 3/4 ton van, with shag carpet. [another sigh] Good times. :)
I was looking for something to play along with late last night, and couldn't decide, so I closed my eyes and reached into the deck, and came up with a Dixie Chicks album far enough back I had a hard time finding tracks from it on YouTube. I remember buying this cd at a record store. I'll just leave that hanging...

DOLBY TECHNOLOGIES
Here you will find an educational and interesting video about Dolby Technologies
I own old Dolby A & SR outboard gear for audio magnetic tape transfers .
We always called it "Dullby".
Bill, tgo
Bill , The professional Dolby SR version was far from "dull" as the consumer Dolby B appeared as such without supplemental post equalization . I did not care for Consumer Dolby B either There was no comparison between Dolby SR and Dolby B in sonic results . :)
My Sony Pro Walkman had Dullby B and Dullby C. Both sucked the life out of the music.
Bill, tgo
SR was the pro version after Dolby A and a different ball game and both were very expensive outboard rack mount units $$$$ .The consumer versions both B & C sucked the life out of the music , I totally agree 100% :)
3 Crows was a scream! Really liked that.
And now I fully understand the difference between Dolby, Dullby and Dubly! ;D

Re the Three Crows video: interestingly, the notes say that while Alex Machacek is the guitar player in the video, the guitar player on the recording is Brett Garsed.
After watching the Spinal Tap on Jazz discussion, I now understand that all those wrong notes I play each time I practice are actually jazz, whereas previously I thought it was just poor hand-eye coordination and insufficient familiarity with the fingerboard.
Despite the mix issues, I'm enjoying the Garcia and Saunders cover of All Blues.

That's one of her Deering banjos... she is an endorsing artist for them. They're quite nice! She's occasionally seen playing a vintage Gibson 5-string too, which I suspect is a pieces-n-parts banjo. Probably a converted tenor her Dad had.
Proud to say, I got to play that song once, with Mr. Van Zandt.

Kinda' my lazy way of cramming for a test... I've got a bluegrass gig this evening with my band, (and gotta' play mandolin tonight!) so I've been listening to The Bluegrass Album volumes to get the lexicon back in my head. I had totally forgotten about their take on the Jim Croce song "Age"... what a great idea that was. They really didn't change it much.
https://youtu.be/JMOp34DowGQ
That was great, Greg! And a weird thought hit me while listening to it: When Croce died at 30 I thought "Well, at least he had a long life" (I was 17, and the traditional age for rock-star death was already established 27).
My youngest son, a mere lad, is now several years older than that.....
Peter (who not only dug Croce, but thinks Maury Muehleisen is one of the most egregiously under-rated guitarists ever)

So music is weird, right?
The fabric of our lives, weaved through time with memories attached to specific songs and phrases heard in everyday conversation directly link to lyrics, etc. etc. (or maybe there is something wrong with me :o ).

;D I'd like to hear those stories sometime.
I missed the Dead when they came to Roanoke in 1987, (7/7-8) but I was working right down the street from the Civic Center, and I remember the hubbub well. I couldn't possibly have cared any less at the time... I had just graduated high school, broke up with my girl, and got myself an old Kay bass and a gig in a bluegrass outfit. Livin' the dream! It seems funny to think, the guys I'm gigging with now (Harwell-Grice Band) were scarecly toddlers then, and grew up to love exactly that era of Grateful Dead music. Me... can't really call it the proverbial "long, strange trip". I just took the scenic route getting here. ;)

Daryl's House, I have never seen a bad performer/performance from that show.
That's a great "Sultans Of Swing"! And of course "Green Onions" is always welcome.
Thanks, Dave.

That was a nice Sultans Of Swing. Reminds me I need to dig out the Dire Straits stuff again. :)
After we opened for them last night, I hung out backstage and watched Love Canon's set. Man, those guys are just fantastic. Very personable too. They surprised me with this one... if you know about L/C, their schtick is covering 1980's pop using bluegrass instrumentation, but they pulled one from the 1780's just for giggles.

Greg, that's a nice looking stage.
And that's a nice arrangement of the excerpt from the 40th. The 40th is one of my favorite Mozart pieces.

Very apropos, Greg. Around here, the farmers usually have over 90% of their corn & soybeans planted; they're at about 35%, and some are on the verge of not planting at all this year. We're supposed to have one or two days of rain this week - for the last couple of months, we've had maybe one day without in a week.

I've watched that Stanley vid before; it's a good one, and nice to watch again tonight. Thanks!
He's just insanely great. I'll be obtuse though and say this; my favorite part is what Stan plays over the keys segment beginning at about 6:00 in. Looks like he maybe rolls the filters back a bit, and goes to downbeats with just his thumb. That little bass gets plumb mean sounding! I about choked on my headphone cable and spilled my coffee trying to back it up. ;D

He's playing his tenor, A-C, so I think the plumpishness may owe a lot to his using an octaver there.

Great stuff on the intro to "Eyes..." Wolf. That little passage at 17:37 was especially brilliant. 8)
Thanks Gregory ! I deeply appreciate your comment . The entire " Eyes of the World " can also be found on that same YouTube channel page .
Barely heard this tune in the movie, (which is too bad because it fit the plot perfectly) but it's one of the best collaborations ever for Buckingham/Nicks.
https://youtu.be/POJlCLZiYNo
One wonders if the timing of this tune had anything to do with the Fleetwood Mac reunion the following year... I suppose the cold irony is, Stevie re-cut the tune a couple years ago and pointedly left Lindsey's bridge part out. And added another 1-chord. Well, that was probably more a producer's call. ::)

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.

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.

''Tis a small world..
the lead singer of Hayseed Dixie was a student at UWM (?), in Milwaukee back in the 80's. He would show up at one of the open jams at what could best be described as a 'dive bar'. The place was such a Dive that they allowed Dexter Bracket to be the Host Band for a month way back in a blurry memory....
I digress, John was looking for a bassist to back him on stage for his solo stuff, so we played a few shows, just acoustic backed by a Distillate and John's voice. We also recorded a half dozen or so songs on a DAT...
Graduation came, he moved back south and shortly there after started Hayseed Dixie.
John's solo material was solid stuff.
Found this from a 2016 release, it was a song we played back in the 80's.

Got a new roof on the (~100-year-old) garage - but the new gutters couldn't go up until I'd replaced some rotted facia. Wednesday I bought some 1X4, Thursday went out to make 3 cuts & pound 16 nails; no problem.
Well, things were a little more decayed than I'd thought, and I just now finished; 9 hours Thurs, 9 yesterday, and 2 today (ever try to find a match for 100-y-o beadboard???)
All of which is a round-about way of saying I was reminded of my late friend Tom Dundee; Tom sang about things mechanical rather than carpentry, but the process is the same......

I might get censored by the moderators. I am a rather lo-tech guy and like vinyl and most of my YouTube time is spent watching silly stuff, machinist tutorials or crazy soapbox derby races. Anyhow, my wife's friend is in town and she has some noise cancelling headphones that she let us test and then she hands me her phone and says here search for whatever you want.
She has Spotify, so when I said I was lo-tech it is also code for "living under a rock". I bet most everyone here knows about Spotify. You search for so and so and it links you to similar stuff and on and on and on... my life has changed and I need to figure out how I can get this setup at work.

Steve Hackett - Shadow Of The Hierophant Live 2016
Love how this builds towards the climax at the end.
Last night I downloaded some flac recordings for referencing; one of them was this beautiful piece:
Tommy Emmanuel - Soul Search
Sharon Robinson & Javier Mas:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4qSuncGWNs
Peter
So, in a YT sidebar, I noticed "The End"; thought "Wow - it's been years since I heard that. Let's give it a spin!"
About 1/3 in, I thought "Hm - maybe "Celebration Of The Lizard".
Made it maybe 2 minutes. Am I alone in being thoroughly embarrassed that, as a teenager, I found Morrison's flatulence "deep"?
Peter (who stills digs the other 3 guys)
The Tommy Emmanuel was nice this morning Dave. I think you're on the right track here... that even reminds me of one of your compositions. Especially with the use of ambient effects and string bends together.
*not sure if you meant it that way, but that's what I heard. :)
The Steve Hackett was great. Loved it.
Gregory; yes, I wanted some recordings to use as references to compare my pieces with (for instance) what someone listening to a stream on Spotify might be listening to. My playing will never come anywhere near Tommy Emmanuel's, but it doesn't have to if I can turn out something that still sounds good within the same general genre.
Interestingly, what I've found since starting this process is that my overall tone is too thin. So yesterday I started working on getting a fuller sound. I don't know whether this endeavor will be successful, but I'm enjoying the process.

Tiny Desk - Thundercat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhVgbZdMdb0
Interesting Tiny Desk set. I had previously seen Thundercat on some live concert videos with Kamasi Washington.
Trying to decide what to listen to today to honor my friend and musical brother Tony Collins, who died very suddenly, 4 years ago today. Tony liked adapting Scottish and Irish bagpipe pieces to flatpicked guitar music, sometimes having a little bit of fun with the measures. (and me!) He had a really unusual sense of rhythm, and how it all fit together... I'm convinced he just heard things in a kind of super-slow-motion.
I think about him every day, but today is the day I tell other musicians about that guy. He was an incredible talent.
"St. Anne's Reel" was one of his favorite tunes to play, and this is a kinda' nice reflective pace. I'm not sure who the other guitarist is here he's swapping licks with, but this was what he loved to do... (Tony is playing the Huss & Dalton cutaway)

The Simba Baumgartner was nice. From a piece at JazzTimes:
"Simba Baumgartner, Django Reinhardt's great-grandson, is just 22, but he has already proven himself an adept practitioner of Gypsy jazz ... Baumgartner began playing guitar at age four, and he regards his great-grandfather's music as almost a cultural heirloom. He resides with his family in the small French town of Samois-sur-Seine, where Reinhardt died, and lives a traditional Gypsy lifestyle. He speaks just French. He does not go to school, and cannot read or write. He does not listen to a lot of music outside of Reinhardt's discography."

Giving my office/music room a long-overdue cleaning today; fortunately, wandering around YouTube I stumbled across an almost-3-hour compilation of slow blues ballads!

and new speakers; hot diggity!)
Congrats on the new speakers Coz. The small amplifier I used to drive speakers in my practice space died a little while back... I keep meaning to replace it. The speakers are fine, but useless without an amp. So I've been using the home theater system and just playing stuff through that setup. Not ideal, but works to play along with, if I unplug the sub. At least it's easy to reach.

Be patient with this one. The song really gets moving and emotive around the 2 minute mark. The video pairs wonderfully with this atmospheric music.
The Boards of Canada piece is nice; thanks!
You are welcome! I thought you would like it. Actually had you in mind when I posted it. Based on the things you post and your own music that you create (that you have shared here) and knowing some of your favorites and influences (David Gilmore in particular).
These guys have a several albums worth of wonderful material. Most all of their work is very nostalgic and thought provoking in one way or another. They definitely have a "less is more" approach.
I'll try to look up more of their work later today. At the moment, I'm in the early stages of a ceiling fan project. Just made my initial venture into the far reaches of the attic; and taking a break to regroup.
(BT-DT on the ceiling fan project Dave... no envy for ya')
I have had an insanely busy day, but been meaning to post a Happy Birthday to Alison Krauss. She's 48 today. I met her right after her 18th Birthday and my 20th about the Fall of 1989... in a nasty old dive here in Roanoke called the Iroquois Club. Neither of us were even old enough to be in that joint! I knew she was something special. We all did.
It was only a couple short years later the Grammys started rolling in, and then this happened.
https://youtu.be/1SCOimBo5tg
Happy Birthday, Al. :)
Yeah, that one certainly got my attention when it came out.
Yep. I believe I have made my feelings known on the subject of the sublime Ms. Krauss.

That would make 2 of us one-dimensional, then; last night I spent over 2 hours checking different versions of "Little Wing"........

So that means I am "normal"? :o :D
Thanks for the Norman Blake. Have fun at Galax! Will you be playing on stage? What instruments are you taking?

Nadja Kossinskaja - Oblivion by Astor Piazzolla
Very nice! But I think I'll be looking up whether "Oblivion" was written before or after "Summertime"..........
Peter (who last night dove into a slew of "Summertime" versions like he did with "Little Wing" a few days ago; dig it, Paul)
For the record:
"Summertime" - 1935
"Oblivion" - 1982
Seems Gershwin might have something actionable here.......

Piazzolla can put one in a sentimental mood ...

I just brought a mandolin and guitar... Dad already had a bass down there. Mostly I just wanted to hang out for the day, visit folks I only ever see at that festival, and maybe squeeze in a little jam time. Got caught up in backing up some friends and my nephew on stage for fiddle and mandolin competition. Since I was registered as a contestant in the mandolin contest too, I figured - why not? So my unbroken streak continues... I've been a contestant since the 52nd Annual Old Fiddlers Convention. (this is the 84th and I've been going to Galax since the 50th when I got old enough to drive myself!) It just feels
so wrong to not be there this week, but life unfortunately demanded other things had to happen. Hey, I got in one good day and night after all... I'll be back next year!
No listening for me today. I still hear fiddle music from last night. :D
Sounds fun, looks like a great day and nice place to play! But hey, what's that funny looking instrument you are playing, the strings are so skinny! :)
Alain Caron
https://youtu.be/ZWf5snNo0sU
In the Alan Caron video, the drummer knocked a cymbal off its stand, and the guitar player had to put it back on. Kind of a light moment. :)
That's too funny!
Someone needs top explain to him what those wingnuts are for, or he needs a better roadie..........
Peter
Well if the guitar player's doing the work, I'm guessing there's no roadie.

Easy - the drum sounds are coming from the drums, the bass sounds are coming from the bass, the B3 sounds are coming from the B3, and everything else is coming from the Hohner synth on top of the B3 (which is what he reaches into - don't ask me why on that one, though).
I didn't notice the drumming on the back of the Hammond, but it wouldn't shock me; I used to do sound for a lounge band where every night the drummer would take a solo on "Love To Hear Percussion" where he'd come out from behind his kit & beat on everything in sight; amps, monitors, mic stands, the guitarist's strings, you name it (but , alas, the frontman's head.....). The traveling salesmen ate it up.

GVS Project was great. Loved it. Did I blink and miss the bass player?

Pretty sure that's a venerable good old Clavinet - not exactly a synthesizer (but most Stevie Wonder grooves that come to mind ...)
I thought it might be, Adriaan - but, as the last time I actually saw a Clavinet was when I left the service of Holidaze, Featuring Doc & Linda Holiday*, in March or 1980, I didn't want to label it so when unsure.
*If that name makes you suspect it might have been a horrible, soul-sucking gig (and your suspicion would no doubt become firmer if I were to mention that it was 6 sets a night, 6 nights a week on the Midwest hotel lounge circuit), you are most astute. But hey - it was a gig.
Peter
Kind of a different look for Mark O'Connor. :)
The Dregs... "their daring work"!
Nice start to my Sunday morning.
Case study of a fiddle tune I was reminded of at Galax last week. We used to do "The Road To Malvern". Here are three totally different approaches to it.

Geddy Lee joins the Lennon Claypool Delirium
Wish the audio was better....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27OeLpl44TE
Very cool. Can't quite discern the two bass parts but great seeing them both.
Geddy is playing one of Les Calypool's Pachyderm basses.
Les usually (historically) plays Carl Thompson basses but a few years back he decided to start his own custom bass company. With the help of a luthier friend he has been making the Pachyderm basses. Not many of them made but they look pretty cool. Very Carl Thompson-esque.

I'm up at the cabin for the month of August. Preparing for a week long canoe trip in Temagami and listening to Ella and Joe Pass - "Easy Living" - to while the days away before the trip.
I am listening to the same half-dozen songs in a loop all day, every day... cramming for a wedding gig next weekend. Not particularly enjoying any of them. :P
I've been lucky - friends at a a nearby cabin have asked me to work on a James Taylor project with them, putting together a tribute show. I've been channeling my inner Jimmy Johnson. Which is very hard!! Every note has to be ... just the right note! But have been listening to a lot of vintage JT for that.

"Wooden Ships" - with an Alembicized Guild sighting:
https://youtu.be/_2e2kC-geMI
Peter
That was a wonderful Wooden Ships! Big band too; I think I counted nine people on stage.
I believe what Crosby is playing is an Alembicized Gibson Crest. It is a rare guitar, similar to an ES330 with Brazilian Rosewood. I got to play it several years ago when it was at the Mothership for a tune-up.
Bill, tgo
Was just working my way through "Help on the Way" last night... had no idea it was Donna-Jean's birthday though. :)

After a well-run practice yesterday for this upcoming wedding gig, I am (by golly!) taking a break from listening to:
"A Thousand Years"
"You and Me"
"Vida La Vida"
"Butterfly Waltz"
"Fools Rush In"
"Fly Me to the Moon"
"Yellow"
"Jesu, Joy of Mans Desiring"
Pachelbel's "Canon in D"
I've been drilling those songs into my head for the last week (particularly the classical pieces for the ceremony) so they'd be easier to access when we finally had rehearsal time.
Our fiddle player gave me a copy of this album yesterday on the way home. Adam Hurt is a banjo visionary, and his skill really shines on a very primitive gourd instrument, fretless, and with a hide head. I imagine gut strings too. Very low tunings. I'm listening up in the shop, and it's spellbinding.
https://youtu.be/qdDVrAfEJGg

(this is probably not the "Fire On The Mountain" most familiar to this thread...)
Enjoyed the gourd banjo music; thanks! Here's a picture:

The Patty Gurdy was nice. I got it after a minute... (it's early for me, only on my second cup here!) she's playing a hurdy-gurdy, and alternately a cello, and singing simultaneously, which I can't even imagine doing. FWIW, I started listening thinking it was Patty Gordy. Told you it was early. ::) ;D
The cellist is someone else; if you look at 1:34, you'll see both of them and the drummer.

Here's one that just came across my screen from my buddy John at Bluegrass Today. (just posted a story about Rob & Trey)

The guitar solo at 2:47 is a hang-on-to-something moment.

Nice "BEW". That solo puts me to mind of something I read in, IIRC, Acoustic Guitar magazine, which described the prevailing mindset in the genre as "bluegrass as bloodsport".

Indeed. And all the rock "shredders" are doing it on "superstrats" strung with .008s and action you can play by looking at it; 'grassers are shredding on dreads strung with stuff all you bass types would feel at home on & action that you could mistake for a lap steel.
Tony Rice, beeyotches!
Peter
Ahh, Tony... such a treasure, that guy. I'll have to share that one around with a few people today.
Re Tony Rice video; that's a good one alright.
I don't really think of Ron Carter as an electric bass guy, but he killed it on this Freddie Hubbard LP. Sounds like a P bass. Anyone know for sure?
The Freddie Hubbard piece was nice; thanks!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-wkkcXP9yZ0
Just watched the new Showtime documentary "Hitsville: The Making of Motown". It was available for free "On Demand" on my cable. Wonderful story of Motown, told by Berry and Smokey themselves, as well as many others from the era. And, which will certainly be appreciated here, Mr. Jameson is given his due. Great stories behind the records that helped define the soundtrack of many of our youths. Actual tape recordings of staff meetings in the 60's! Almost two hours and well worth it!
Bill, tgo
I will second Bill's recommendation of a fine documentary, and suggest watching it in tandem with Standing In the Shadows of Motown, which is an in-depth look at the Funk brothers.
Peter
:o
Peter (who sometimes thinks that, despite his best efforts, maybe he didn't do enough drugs.........)
The Marsalis piece was very cool. Here's the full lineup:
• Trumpet – Wynton Marsalis
• Saxophone – Branford Marsalis
• Bass – Ron Carter
• Drums – Tony Williams
The Come Together thing was interesting. I can certainly see where travelling with just one instrument case instead of two could be of some benefit. :)
We've had the Metropole Orkest on this thread recently, was watching the full Nina Simone tribute from the BBC Proms just now thanks to our trusty DVR, not much available online except Lisa Fischer doing I Loves You Porgy/Dido's Lament.
Nice; thanks Adriaan! The Lament was gorgeous.

Excellent! I love Chris Thile's playing.
Hard to go wrong with Sarah J. either. :)
Interesting, they chose key of G for Canaan's Land... I've done it a thousand times, (maybe more) always in either E or F for mandolin. I wonder if either voices or the bouzouki/octave mandolin was the deciding factor? That's a cool sound.
Daniel Johnston passed away 4 days ago... eclectic is a mild adjective. My introduction to him was a song called Summer Time, we ate some mushrooms in a cabin deep in the Chequamegon Forest. A 'sober' friend busted out a boom box and played this song off of a cassette (it was quite awhile back in time).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYBZK1m5K00
Most notable for me was to find out later in life that Daniel was the writer of Walking the Cow.

Dweezil is currently on tour for Hot Rats (pretty sure in Europe now).

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:

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.

Tommy Emmanuel's playing is masterful. Thanks for posting that one.
You're welcome, Dave. And yeah - after watching that, it was all I could do not to burn all my guitars..........

I enjoyed the Evelyn Glennie talk/performance on listening; thanks!
Really liked the Tommy Emmanuel. Good stuff, thanks!

In particular anything with Contra Bass in its title is a favorite. :D
Harmony Heaven!

Yeah, the harmonic movement of the six voices was nice, as were the songs themselves. And the "slap bass" on the harpejji was pretty cool too.

I think our mothers liked hats and matched outfits! Anyway, that video of L.Buck was shot in Kernersville, N.C., just a few short miles from where my Mom allows this picture was taken. Steph and I were born just a couple days apart in the Summer of 1969... so we weren't quite yearlings here. Seems like we only see each other at sad occasions anymore..

From an interview in the early '80s (as near as I can recollect it) -
Bob: "You don't think Phil plays patterns, but he does; they're just 37 measures long. You go back to the tape later and speed it up, and think 'Oh,
that's what he was doing!'"
Jerry: "If you figure out what he's doing and try to tailgate on that, he'll hear it and change what he's doing."
Bob: "He'll detailgate ya!"

Yesterday at the library, I saw a book called
The Unlikely Escape Of Uriah Heep - which, of course sent me here:
Peter
My favorite thing about Uriah Heep was the prominent B-3.
I've got a buddy on TalkBass who is an absolute freak for Uriah Heep... I'll have to draw his attention to that book. He probably already knows, but might be impressed I heard of it. ;D

Yes, a quick google finds that it's a recent debut novel that does indeed reference Dickens and other works.
Along with the Beatles, Motown, and later English Rock with Zeppelin et al, soul music was a huge influence on me growing up. And this music cut in the South was just different than the Detroit/Berry Gordy Motown sound, in this case at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, with an all-white studio band with David Briggs, Norbert Putnam, and other guys that would go on to bigger things later down the line.
Back before he was strokin', Clarence Carter just wanted to
Slip Away. The slinky groove, the horn punches, and Carter's voice, I could just eat this stuff with a spoon. This always makes me think of an out-of-the-way BBQ joint, a stack of hot links with a side of sliced white onion and dill pickles, and hand me the ribs.
Used to do Slip Away in a band back in the 70's. Hadn't heard since then; thanks!

THe Dickens connection may be part of the fascination. He's kind of an interesting character himself... this kat once replaced the electronics of a koa-topped Spoiler/Exploiter with Elan controls, added a 9v power supply with an XLR jack to it, then mounted the old Spoiler electronics into a box to be used as an outboard preamp for his beloved Rickenbackers. Called it the (wait for it) "Ron-O-Tone".

The closest thing I guess is when Harwell-Grice Band would cover
"Three Little Birds" or
"Women Are Smarter"... Jazzy is a monster-player, and I'd love to watch him play with those guys just so they could hear what a real bass player with some genuine reggae chops was like. I can hold my own, (or used to could) but still... man, I miss playing music, especially with those guys. I was right at the top of my game when the ol' backbone started getting spong-y again. I'll be back, but it'll be awhile.

There's a lot of regular geniuses in the world, but the best idea I ever had was Chocolate Cool Whip... arrived at that totally independent of outside influence at age 6. Mom was less impressed. When I presented my invention, she was a little bit irritated that I had used up the last of the Hershey's Syrup, and ruint the Cool Whip. Ten years later, I was working, bagging groceries in a Harris-Teeter store, when a bowl of Chocolate Cool Whip comes sliding down the belt... a swing, and a miss.
That is amazingly brilliant! Chocolate and CoolWhip!
The bass is cool also. ;D

I liked it too. The chord movement was pushing the boundaries of bluegrass as well, and then the acoustic guitar solo seemed to have elements of gypsy and swing (or that's what came to mind; but then I'm about half asleep right now).
Do my eyes deceive me in the brief glimpses we get, or was that Strat wielded by John Jorgenson?
Peter
I see the resemblance too Coz, but not listed in the credits. I had not heard of these folks when John sent this my way the other day, and not familiar with the names at all. (they are from Ireland, I think) He gets just tons of stuff for review, so when he tells me "hey, give this a listen" it's usually something interesting. :D

I've been listening to this (it is the original, never-released-back-then version) for over 40 years - a HS friend had the bootleg reel-to-reel (probably because his uncle was a fairly high-level - 3rd call drummer for the Tonight Show, etc - LA studio cat), but I don't think I'd listened to it on cans - so of course I had to now.

https://youtu.be/RjhC3YDBIlI
Enjoyed the Jon Lord; thanks!
The Hawktail piece was nice; thanks!
I kinda liked that Hawktail, myself!
I spent some more time on the "Bare Trees" album last night (late into last night) and finally charted out "Sunny Side of Heaven". It is a really good example of McVie playing just what the tune called for. I mean, that's kind of 'his thing' anyway, but you could really run away with one like this and mess it up.
https://youtu.be/9BujGOSvIZw
Still my all time favorite Fleetwood Mac album! :D
Driving home last night Hold Me came on and as my wife and I were singing along with it the thought passed my mind...
"Gregory is right, McVie plays just the right thing."
He does a couple 'walk ups' in Hold Me that could easily be more flourished but it wouldn't fit the song properly.
That bass part in "Hold Me" is a fun line! Last year's remasters sound really good.
https://youtu.be/dR2sJjlyEfE
I'll dig up the rest of the Mirage album and play it in the Control Room here today. Water Plants are very quiet places on Holidays. (the way I like it... quiet is GOOD!)

Its funny how this thread works sometimes. I met Ryan Cavanaugh at the Old Fiddlers Convention in Galax, Virginia (I'll guess about 20) years ago. There are only a few come along in a generation like him, and they tend to seek/find each other, and sure enough he'd met banjo wizard Rex McGhee there in Galax, who I also knew through association with some other musicians who ran in that pro-am spacegrass circle. It was quite a week, and I think Ryan became something of an understudy of Rex's. They've been friends ever since.
https://youtu.be/Npc8G5lMZQI
*This morning's other Listening Thread coincidence... I keep a running email thread with a couple of the guys on here just so we can talk personal stuff off the board. The other day one of them pinged the other two of us about Viktor Krauss. For those who don't know, the name isn't coincidental - he's Alison's older brother, and yes, he is a MONSTER BASSIST.
Great way to start the morning. (finally got myself a couple days off too!) :)
The Witcher & Cavanaugh was nice; thanks!
Saw these guys over the weekend. Good band/tunes. They've got the awesome Gavin Harrison from Porcupine Tree/King Crimson on drums.
The Witcher & Cavanaugh was quite tasty.
And that was one of the sweetest versions of "Grapevine" I've ever heard (and, should anyone here perchance be an old hippie, might I suggest clicking "Full Screen"?)

Peter
I agree with Peter, this thread is great for introductions to new and different music (Hawktail was a lot of fun!).
Peter... the one "young" rock and roll group that I can think of is Greta Van Fleet. They sound very Zepplinesque, which some people find as a negative. Personally I love their energy. I find that looking on the local level can reveal some interesting rock talent, not necessarily worthy of posting here but again, that 'good energy' vibe.

Nephew's Film Underground project looks good, Paul. I've been wondering lately where my own Nephew's talent will take him. That kid can play everything. And unfortunately, never really focuses on anything. :-\
Largely because of the 5/8/77 take on Scarlet Begonias, I started working at it. (so good...) Phil's fellas have a pretty good rip at it here from Terrapin Crossroads...

Yeah. I mean, I've seen film of goose-stepping many times, from many countries - but never before with that little bounce the N. Koreans put in; that is just the icing on the cake!
Peter (who knew N. Korea was evil - just didn't realize it was
disco evil!)
Corti di Lunas, did not expect the bass solo, which made it all that much better. I liked the whole vibe of the video.
Pauldo . I am happy that you like the Cort di Lunas vid . I am FB friends with some of them . They are an Italian band that is representative of a current wave of medieval / renaissance folk rock fusion that is sweeping across Europe . Notice the use of the Hurdy Gurdy . I have been looking for a Hurdy Gurdy player and a Bag Piper that has a chromatically enable instrument for starting a project that I am interested in my self .

Man alive - where else could I go and, in the space of 8 posts, get turned on to a spectrum like Phil & Friends, Raphael Saadiq, Cort di Lunas, and John Gorka, three of which were totally new to me?? That's some genre span there.
Thanks, folks!

Yuja Wang played an absolutely explosive solo piano piece on Kennedy Center Honors for Michael Tilson Thomas.
Didn't catch the name and can't find relevant answers on the WWW....
It was fire -
Speaking of fire, they also honored Earth Wind and Fire and sadly, the performances given were too 'clean' for this guy and his wife. They were performed well but just didn't have that raw energy that accompanies the stage performance of the real group.
The video is not showing in the EU, but apparently Yuja Wang played "a flirty rendition of You Come Here Often" (https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/video/yuja-wang-plays-a-flirty-rendition-of-you-come-here-often-in-honor-of-michael-tilson-thomas/vp-AAK9Wrl).

The Ron Carter Trio is great. I wonder what those strings are he's using...? They look huge, like synthetic gut, but they sounded way too bright to be gut. That's gotta' be some kind of chromesteels. I don't recognize the pink silks. His left hand is so fast, yet economical.

Esperanza Spalding's cover of Wayne Shorter's Endangered Species was great; thanks!
The piece by Mark Schatz was nice. Kind of reminded me of how I practice sometimes; sparse, focused on simple melodic structures within a limited area of the scale, which I need to do more of.

Wow, loved her interpretation; and the part at the end where she goes up really high, sustaining the energy level through the highest note, and bringing it back down again, that really got my attention. Very cool. Was listening on cheap headphones; will listen again on the stereo when I get a chance.
Loved the Mark Schatz piece, reminded me of Telluride and Winter Hawk festivals of long ago :)

@Peter that track by Peter Tosh is a superb version and the lead guitar playing and solo (Donald Kinsey i think) is one of the most exciting guitar solos i have heard on a reggae song. A great song to be listening to.
That album had Darryl Thompson as well as Kinsey on lead guitar; don't know which that solo is.
Peter
Just watched the two Hawktail videos Gregory posted above; very nice. Their compositions are always intriguing.
Tony Rice - "8th of January" from his self-titled 1977 album.
https://youtu.be/yfjEdukk2kI
Was just discussing this album yesterday evening with a guitar-playing buddy of mine who is laid up recovering from shoulder surgery. Quite a few guys playing on here that went on into legendary status... David Grisman on mandolin, Richard Greene and Darol Anger on fiddles, Todd Phillips on bass, Jerry Douglass on resonator guitar. I guess to be fair, by '77, they were a good ways down the road.
And for those thinking the basic theme sounds familiar, remember - the Battle of New Orleans was fought on Jan. 8.
Peter
Hadn't heard On The Border in a while; thanks!
Just listened to Lady Of The Lake again; thanks!
O'Connor, Shatz, Rice, Douglas, Bush, and Fleck:

Yessir... that right there is exactly how that goes. ;D
Strange coincidences... I just got this Fretboard Journal article link yesterday evening from our old buddy who used to post here as ed_zeppelin:
https://www.fretboardjournal.com/features/58957-tony-rice-and-his-holy-grail-martin-d-28/
At risk of overstating fandom... I can't get enough of this new Hawktail project, "Formations". Since I pre-ordered a hard copy (actually a few copies, for gifts) of the CD, I got a free download, and now I can't get anything done in my shop! It's simply impossible to concentrate on anything else with this music playing through a set of decent cans. ::)
I think I've already posted everything from the album that's publicly viewable at one time or another, but here they are, rippin' a classic John Hartford tune, live:
https://youtu.be/Nc45Nd6i0HA
Much too close to 50 years ago to bear thinking about, I was sitting in a friend's dorm room being amazed by my first dose of LSD, and someone was kind enough to put
Aereo-Plain on the stereo (back when college kids had actual stereos....); it's been on my 10-Desert-Island-Albums list ever since. That is a very nice version of "Steamboat Whistle Blues".
But, of course, it sent me running for the original (for those few who may be unaware,
Aereo-Plain was credited to John Hartford, but - much like the P.E.R.R.O. sessions became a David Crosby album - was actually a project of the Dobrolic Plectral Society; Hartford on banjo, Norman Blake on guitar, Tut Taylor on Dobro, Vassar Clements on fiddle, and Randy Scruggs on bass; of course there was some instrument switching going on, but that's who played what the most):
ereo-plane was a Peter (who just shed a tear upon realizing that the revered Mr. Blake is the only one still with us)

While I'm better at using the looper than I was a year ago, I'm still pretty unskilled with it; and despite my desire to make use of it in my music, I tend to practice other things instead.

Baker & Honeycutt are thinking about a
"Porch, Vol. 2"... that one may make the cut. ;)
It's something between an Irish jig, and a Baroque era string quartet piece.
https://youtu.be/4LrssWrJKfY
The whole thing builds all the way through, then 3 minutes in, the fiddle and bass play a duet of counterpoint that is absolutely mindboggling. The guitar and I'm pretty sure the other instrument is a bouzouki or octave mandolin, keep a perfect rhythm underneath the thing.
I might be broken today... :o
Thanks for the Entwistle and YES pauldo! I've been digging this young Dutch band lately. Golden Caves
Still have my copy of the Chess soundtrack... on cassette tape! ::) Thanks for the reminder. :)

At some point this evening, I plan to play through the entire album. (with Alembic basses of course)
Thanks for Hawktail's "Unless"!
I love pedal steel; fiendishly difficult to play well and in tune (10-strings, twice, weird tuning, fretless, and a wiggle stick rear-end where most of the strings can be bent separately . . . . . yikes !), but really serves a purpose like a Hammond in filling up a lot of air when comping.
This is a great performance of a transcription of Elton's 'Blue Eyes' that was originally done by the legendary Buddy Emmons on one of the 'Steel Swining' projects with Ray Pennington. This just slays me every time I hear it.

They just run in a loop... the other day I saw one with Hank Williams Jr. from 1969. Didn't even recognize him without his trademark beard and sunglasses... which of course had not yet happened in 1969.
But yessir, Roy Clark was a musician of a very high order, who also understood how to be an entertainer.
Roy Clark.. such a trickster haha. Love that video <3

Hi!
Well,I've been listeng(mostly studying,scales,ect..)jeff Berlin.One of my faves😀😎
This is a cool instrument, the Viola da Gamba, which was popular from around 1600 to 1750. Seven strings, fretted; beautiful tone.
I'll see your Viol de Gamba and raise you one accordion.

One of the "reference" flac files I picked up is this song by Tommy on electric. His playing is just as wonderful on electric as it is on acoustic.

"Don't Stop"... I was really glad to see this one made the cut for remastering. Great tune.

Peter (who would love to take up harp guitar - but can't quite handle 6 strings, let alone 21......)
Harp Guitars. I had a good buddy who taught guitar at Fret Mill Music here in Roanoke. (music store I do bass repair/setup work for) Stacy Hobbs. Anyway, Hobbs was a freakishly gifted guy, who took 'having people skills' to a whole new level. He just had this infectious sense of humor... made people feel like laughing for no reason. I believe he took up playing harp guitar because he was bored with six strings. I was so amazed by him it was difficult to play bass along with anything he did, no matter how elementary. Stacy moved away to Florida several years ago, and we lost touch, but I hope to reconnect one day. He apparently has quite a collection of harp-guits, but here he is playing one of his older ones. Dyer maybe.

Because I've been listening to Volume 1 of Fleetwood Mac's 50-year anthology "Don't Stop", with remasters of tracks from the early years with Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwan, Bob Welch, I've naturally been trying to isolate what McVie was doing.
Looking around on YouTube I discovered that they had resurrected Peter Green's "Man Of The World" for the last leg of the World Tour last year in NZ. Neil Finn and Mike Campbell do a pretty nice tip of the hat here to the guys who started that gig. Decent A/V here-

Another gift from the Fleetwood Mac 50-year Anthology; "Don't Stop" a re-mastered, and re-mixed "Say You Love Me" with some alternate guitar parts Lindsey Buckingham played, and (wait-for-it) RHYTHM BANJO! heard predominantly in the left channel. I guess they were always there, but not really upfront. I guess it also explains why he played the banjo on this tune for The Dance Live. (Duh!)

Indeed.
I will not say anything against Mr. Marley, who was a massive talent - but I
love how people's heads spin when I tell them that Peter & Bunny were much better post-Wailers than Bob was.

I came to Reggae not through Bob Marley, but rather through "The Harder They Come" album and movie, which included the above "Pressure Drop". Great album!

Lots of Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson's solo stuff. Colin Edwin (PT) doesn't get a fair shake as a bassist imo (and, man, that Wal can growl on their live albums), and SW's solo stuff has some pretty tasty bass playing that he himself did. He respects the instrument, which is nice. He's an utterly fantastic songwriter to boot.

I saw them touring post-release of BRAIN SALAD SURGERY (just the best album cover, ever) with a QUAD PA. We had seats in the 20th-something row and there were the two speaker stacks at stage left and right, duplicated some 40-odd rows BEHIND me. All the tricks, with Carl's drum riser spinning like a merry-go round during his solo, and when the performed 'Karn Evil 9', in the middle of the mostly piano 2nd impression, where you hear the 'steel drum' synth lines, his 8-foot Steinway levitated off the stage. They'd bolted the piano on a frame on a lift, attached the piano stool to the same frame, belted him in, and here's the whole think rolling end over end. Yikes !!!

Thought they had a Dutch singer, and indeed Floor Jansen is a Goirle native. I spent a good bit of my teenage years in Goirle. 8)
Hello Adriaan .
Yes , Floor Jansen , the current female vocalist is Dutch . I have been a fan since their early Tarja Turunen days in the 90s .
I hope that you are safe & healthy :)

When I worked 50-60 hours a week, I used to listen to this longingly . . . . now maybe significant in other ways.

Here's another (from the other thread) just for you Joey, 'cause I know you like this particular album. Kinda' abstract Fleetwood Mac for today... can't wait to get home and try this one!

I heard a VERY interesting interview from Huey Lewis (on some late night show ???) anyhow he was telling of when he went to Europe as a youth, lost his passport and how he handled the situation and how it became a turning point for his life.
OK, Greg, here we go into My Back Pages: Obscure British blues-rock from way back when I strapped on a Gibson Ripper (my 1st bass) in the late 70's, stood in front of the stereo and thought, 'Now What?'.
What is it with the Brits and 'Hi Yo Silver'? Did they all watch American Westerns?
Here's an inspired mash-up of a reworked 'Honey Hush', the Big Joe Turner tune, by Foghat, made even more fascinating by grafting it onto the 'Train Kept A Rollin' riff:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7Pu4PGc8to
Then the example you want when you tell someone what a wah-wah pedal does, my favorite use of one in a song. Dave Mason, from ALONE TOGETHER, 'Shouldn't Have Took More Than You Gave' (recorded by most of the band from MAD DOGS and ENGLISHMEN, Leon's crew):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tsyXWIBGgQ&list=OLAK5uy_nsLXk-gZtqLzs4N3NlQtCC6ZLLSKsR7Gc
We'll have to have an extended conversation about that one sometime... way up on my bucket-list of stuff to do is visit the U.K. and one of the things on the punch-list while there is to try and figure out some of the cultural exchange with our British cousins. No idea how Hi-ho or Hi-yo Silver entered their musical vernacular at that time, but I'll bet the answer is fascinating.
Dead & Co. have been putting up a show every Saturday night... last week's was 6/30/2018, Eugene, Oregon... I thought this was a pretty nice Peggy-O.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsJtRnMK9bQ
McCoy Tyner. I discovered a stash of his albums. Amazing stuff.
If you get confused...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37difgqHhIU
I was at that show . At that time I was a student of Mr. Leo De Gar Kulka at The College for Recording Arts at Golden State Recorders and I had a studio ID credential . I heard through the " grapevine " that this record release show was invitation only and / or industry ID . I showed up early as is my style and procured several invitations for my self and musician friends . ** We were all very Grateful that day :) !!!!!!!!!!!!! ** The Early Crows get the shows !
That's awesome Wolf, what a show to see, one of my all time favorite shows and recordings! When I had a car, city dweller now, there were two CDs that live permanently in the glove box, this one and American Beauty :)
I love that era of The Dead as well .

My mom sent this link, the Royal Choral Society fulfilling their traditional Good Friday singing of Handel's Messiah.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PQYVbd1Gwg&feature=youtu.be
Weird thing for me is it's the sopranos part that really moves me.
Lovely music of course. The funny thing about almost all of these collaborations is that while it's clear these folks are at home in front of their computers and phones (and sweet that they dressed up for it) we are not hearing audio from their homes. The audio is clearly a previously recorded performance, in a concert hall, with a pipe organ. So what we have here is an assembly of videos of the entire group lip-syncing to their own recording. Still sweet that they went to all this effort. It's a bear just to sync up and put all the video together.
The French orchestra which did Ravel's Bolero this same way DID actually start with audio from the player's homes. Then about 1/2 way through it switches to the orchestral recording (which they are playing along with) and it's quite a hair-raising moment.
There are always going to be creative folks doing clever things and it's a comfort to have projects like this to keep music going for everybody.
Cheers,
Jimmy J

Well, that is just about the wildest thing I've seen in a while, Wolf. It's like a cross between a Hardanger fiddle, and a typewriter. It's definitely related to the Norwegian Hardanger. (see the sympathetic strings?) Precision lever-like machinery applied to noting a viol. Fascinating. The Octo-bass has something like this. There are only about 8 working, playable octo-basses in the world. Yeah, that's worth a listen... lemee go look for that.

Heard Linda sing this on the radio on the way in to work this morning at 5:45... and been thinking about it ever since. (I think Mica called it an earworm) Funny intro to Lowell George's "Willin'"... no idea if she just came off the cuff with that story or not! Hard to say! ;D

This was a GREAT band.
Gregory , Regarding the Octo -Bass ; If I am not mistaken the lowest pedal tone that can be produced on some cathedral organs is also 16hz C-0 . Very Kool ! :) I have an audio Oscillator that I have dialed down to a 16Hz Sine Wave . The speaker that I used was an old Cerwin-Vega B48 loaded with an 18" JBL K151 . I still have that cabinet in my basement sitting on a pallet .

Funny thing is there is a cerebral connection to hearing the songs that we heard "back in the day". I sometimes hear a song that I couldn't stand when it was released but hearing it now gives it new life.

He does solo stuff in classical, jazz, and world music; also check out his bands Math Games and Garage Mahal (and he teaches guitar at Northern Illinois University). But probably the most I ever enjoyed him was in Denver 8-9 years ago; the club had 2 stages, 1 indoor, where Math Games was playing, and a beer garden stage, whee Edwin's band Shakedown Street was playing; they alternated sets, and he sat in with Edwin's band's 3rd set. Be advised there was some pickin' a'goin' on that night!

Got an MP3 player to use at work and loaded a bunch of tunes that have been trapped on a portable hard drive for 4 years. Listening to songs that I haven't heard in forever, through headphones and feeling like the rainy Monday isn't so bad after all.

You guys remember HB3? He hung out here for awhile. This is a link to his stuff, in particular a favorite of mine called Haunted Houses.

"Sugaree", Baton Rouge, 10/16/77:
https://youtu.be/P8xzDFpahlM
Peter (who's really digging the first graphic, too)
I'll go along with Sugaree anyday, and that Summer of '77... if I only had a Uncle Rico's Time Machine, my first stop is New Haven, CT. 5/5/77. But that graphic is a little too graphic for me Coz. Eek. Double-eek.
Here's somebody I've been thinking about a lot lately, and a story of a strange coincidence that happened right here on the Listening Thread one day. Back in the early 90's, I was a 20-something, working at Fret Mill Music, there was this monster guitar player working there too, teaching lessons. People came from everywhere, drove miles to take lessons. Brad Jones. He had demons, to make the understatement of the century, but I was too young at the time to understand, and so consumed with launching my own career as a bassist that I jumped at a chance to play with anybody, anywhere. Shortening the story, after he was gone, I thought no more about Brad Jones. One day, another Club Member here [ed_zeppelin] posted a video of Buster B. Jones, (Brad's stage name) and I commented, Wow, never thought I'd hear that name again. Turned out somebody on the other end of the country from here, had played bass with Brad for a short time too, and just happened to pop up right here. So we've shared a few stories. Sadly, Brad's demons finally got the best of him, and he died in 2009. But my goodness what a talented rascal he was.
Here's a nice little documentary that shows the lighter side of the guy ed_zep and I knew:

The fast playing record story explains a bit.

Every year I have to perform certain tasks to maintain my status as an Official Expatriate Texan. This involves among other things, breaking out the Noconas and the 13MWZ Wranglers (Cowboys DON'T wear Levi's, you'll injure yourself (!) sitting a horse in 'em). I've passed my Brisket Merit Badge (I can smoke one with the best of 'em), have a big list of George Strait tunes memorized, I watch GIANT at least twice a year. And of course, for this all to really extend my Texas roots fully, I have to listen to Ray Benson's mighty Asleep at the Wheel, as big a Texas institution as The King Ranch or The Alamo. So today, this was on my required listenting:

Just watched the PBS pledge-drive special celebrating 50 years of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band; they were, of course, great, & the guest list was stellar (besides long-time former member Jimmy Ibbotson and short-time former member Jackson Browne, they had Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Vince Gill, John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Alison Krauss); but the thing that really hit me was the realization that they have the best neck-bow harmonicist I've ever seen, and it's Jimmy Fadden - the drummer!!

At some point today, I plan on listening to the entire 5/5/1977 New Haven, CT. show. One of my favorite evening exercises is the "Peggy-O" from that particular evening, and if I were going to further dissect it, the bass lines (if you could even call them that) during the guitar solo are some of the most inspired moments I have ever heard.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJvolWPlTNs
I'm not sure, but I think this may have been a turning point for me musically. At some point of listening intently, and trying to pinpoint exactly what notes I should play here or there, I started thinking maybe I should stop thinking so much... just let go and play the music. Feel the song. I'm pretty sure that's what they were doing.

Man, after that, I need a brisket plate and a Lone Star.

Peter (who would like to call your attention to Clark Terry's solo)
I ran across this (boy do I wish I'd been there). TN Keys' Scott Sheriff put this NIGHTFLY tribute together with a lot of players from around town here at Third and Lindsley, kind of the Nashville 'Baked Potato' if you will. Session aces John Hammond on drums and Gary Lunn on Jazz Bass, and one more guitar player moved here from California . . . . anyway, one of my favorite songs from the The Grand Dan Catalog, 'New Frontier' :

Since you said that after my 2nd recent post of Aaron Thibeaux Walker, I'm going to assume you're referring to the appearance of his playing style. The nickname actually dates from childhood, and was derived from his middle name (if you were, in fact, referring to the earlier post, where I mentioned his full name, and it was delayed until after the second, please disregard this message).

They used to have this thing down on 1st Av. in downtown Nashville, called Festival of Lights. I first saw Keb' Mo' play that stage one scorching hot Summer night in 1996. I remember thinking at the time- that's it, right there. He was to Robert Johnson, what our bunch was to Bill Monroe. He had him, to the note, to the smallest detail, and was destined to carry that music forward. I talked to him about it after his set, and not long after that, I had the complete set of Robert Johnson's recordings. To this day, there is seldom a show goes by I don't do at least one of them, and hat-tip to Ol' Bob.

I figured you would know. There's a guy up here... I don't know him other than by name, we just go to the same barber... but he has one from a little later. I thought he told me either '67 or '69. He had an older one and sent it to Gibson for something warranty-related. It got destroyed or lost or something, and they sent him a new one. It was so unusual that I remember it. In fact, I can't recall ever seeing another on in the wild.

Peter,
Best wishes for your Mom.
Paul
Best wishes and good vibes to Cozmik Mom for a speedy recovery.
Bill, tgo
Thanks, guys. "Speedy" is, it seems, not in the cards - but we'd be really pleased with "recovery"; the reasons on both counts are that she is a 3-time breast-cancer survivor who will be 88 Sept. 13, who has been in A-Fib for about 3 years & has CHF.
On the other hand, while her dad lived to 88, her mom & all 4 grandparents didn't die until they were old..........
Peter
Best wishes to Cozmik Momma. The older I get, the more my own means to me, and I didn't think that was possible.

For the a number of years I have (admittedly at the urging of The Lovely & Charming Mrs. Cowboy) called her every Sunday; I almost said "talked to her", but the calls average 1.25 hours, and I may get 10 words in ::) ; what can I say; that's Mom. I have, obviously, missed the last couple weeks, but today I got to talk to her (and I did do most of the talking this time) for about 5-10 minutes. She seems to finally seems to be making some progress, but my optimism is still decidedly guarded.
As to comfort, well - yesterday or day before they started her back on dilaudid, so I'm guessing not so much (but, based on my experience with that wonder of pharmacology, no doubt much better now).
Peter
Listened to the first few minutes of Moran Magal in the Control Room today. This reminds me of something, but I can't quite place it. Very interesting, and very listen-able. 8) I'll be in there for a good while again tomorrow, and will pick it up again.

Again, thanks to all who extended good wishes for my mom.
Alas, she passed away this morning.
Peter
Condolences.
Did she like a particular type of music?
I'm sorry to say that most of her LPs were Longine's (sp?) Symphonette, but she also loved Perry Como, Andy Williams, Dean Martin, Tennessee Ernie Ford.... her favorites, however, were the Statler Brothers - who she discovered when I brought their Best Of album; I think she saw them more times than I saw the Dead.
Peter
Very sorry to hear that, Peter. I know you don't roll with the prayin' but my thoughts are with you.
The Statler Bros. are local heroes here. Staunton, Virginia is right up the road.
Thanks, Greg. I sang bass in choirs from 8th grade into college - when a 7-month bout of laryngitis left me without my low range (or my high range, or my falsetto, or much ability to hear my own pitch....); Harold Reid is my hero!
Peter
Condolences, good sir. I haven't lost my mom, yet. But I did lose my wife last month. It's very hard.
Peter and Dan, may I offer my deepest condolences.
These types of life passages are never easy, but the timing with covid really sucks.
My mom is 95 and was admitted to the hospital last Saturday after a fall in which she sustained a couple of cracked ribs and partially collapsed lung. As Peter is aware, my son and I drove to New York and back from California a month and a half ago, with an overnight at the Cozmik Ranch each way, to help my mom out. Now it looks like I may be doing it all over again.
When I was in High School my mom bought the cast album of "Hair". (Growing up in New York, my parents were big Broadway Musical fans). She put it on during dinner. When this song came on my dad got very angry, turned red, looked at me and asked what the hell I had put on the stereo. I just smiled and told him it was mom's.

I still have a pair of elephant bells I gopt new in 1972; you can even see a bit of denim here and there between the patches.
And no - they don't get worn a lot these days..................
(But I have worn them as recently as 1985; maybe even '86. Can't show up a Dead show looking drab, ya know.)

Peter I am very sorry to read of your mother, it's a club no one wants to join! I was lucky/unlucky enough to actually be with mine when she passed.
In no relation to these condolences...
I said, like this I said it, I said "Hey Google, play Italian Polka music" and most un-polka music is being listened to.
What I said was an influenced by the Netflix movie "The Irishman" there is some captivating music in the sound track.
Again, thoughts out to your family Peter!

Thanks, Roger. I was with mine, too.

Nice version! Are you going to sing lead, like the bass player in the video, Gregory?

I wish I could sing it like Travis. ;D Nah, offhand, I'd guess our frontman Josh would be better suited to take the lead on that one if we were gonna' cover "He's Gone"... I just like looking for something to help with the translation. The Stringdusters are well-known for rippin' Grateful Dead tunes. (in a very good way) Here's a live "Jack Straw" they pounded pretty hard.

Another superb take on a classic; these kids can pick a little.

So I'm in one of my favorite flea markets yesterday (at least ONE thing I can do as well as Leland Sklar . . . . . ) and for a grand total of 2 bucks in a pile of CD's for sale:
A dead mint, clean "TOWER OF POWER LIVE" from 1999, produced by Emilio Castillo with Garibaldi and Rocco in fine form. I forgot what a welded-tight band sounds like, and while I rarely hear a recording and think 'I'm wasting my time playing bass, listen to THAT', in this case, yep. I read the interviews about Vega subbing for FRP while he was out with his health issues, and what a hill it was to climb to play with them . . . . and I believe it.
Here's 'Soul with a Capital S' from this project. The stops, the starts, the chills, the thrills, hoooo-eeeeee this is a handful. What a hoot !

Oh, wow... I remember when "Dawg '90" came out. :-\
It was around that time (I think) John Carlini and Tony Rice made a recording together. That's a very cool album if you can find a copy. I have it in my shop, stays in regular rotation.
Here's one of my favorite cuts from it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94aJ-OUOI_w
*1995 release. I reckon a little after "Dawg '90"... some of those years run together in a blue-green blur for me. ::)
Isn't there a great version of Nardis on that Rice-Carlini album?
That was a nice tune you posted, the sound quality is great!
I saw Grisman in Chataqua Park, Boulder when Dawg came out. He signed my CD, I still have it.

When I was a young man, I played nose flute in The Cosmic S**ts & Giggles Jug Band; our percussionist, the late Craig Luke, used 2 sticks (not drumsticks; lengths of 1X1) on a galvanized gallon bucket, a 5 gal. plastic bucket, a cardboard box, and whatever else was close at hand. I love found percussion!

Wrong nose flute; I played this kind: https://www.musiciansfriend.com/folk-traditional-instruments/grover-trophy-humanatones-nose-flute; and alas, no record of the band; we jammed on our (that would be the guitarist/vocalist & me) front porch, and gigged, IIRC, 3 times, at the same bar. And, as (at least) the guitarist, the percussionist, and one of the 3 jug players are no longer with us, future recordings are not a possibility.
Peter
This is doin' it for me this mornin'...
...the fretless Distillate spake unto me,
"rise up, and find that groove!"
So I got interested in this tune, and went lookin' 'round... Dead & Co. had a good go at it in Atlanta back in June 2018.

Yes. Originally they mounted 2 Sennheiser 421s together & ran them through a solid-state amplification system designed by John Curl & Ron Wickersham and built by Mark Levinson, but by the WoS had moved on to the ones shown, which were two Brüel & Kjær mics built onto a box with the circuitry.

The "official" unveiling of the WOS. The boys played until early morning and then we all got oranges and croissants for breakfast. On the way out, everyone received a mini LP, two songs on each side from various upcoming Dead family albums. All for $4.00!!!! To quote Archie and Edith Bunker, those were the days!
Bill, tgo
I have no earthly idea what this song is about - I didn't when it came out back in the late-80's either, but I liked it then too. (I liked the whole album, and wore the cassette tape out!) Something within' the lyric seems to fit today's narrative though, and it's been in my head all afternoon.

I was naturally a little bit disappointed John McVie's bass part wasn't used in his remake of "These Strange Times" but upon listening to both tracks, I could hear why the original 1995 takes probably wouldn't overlay. But c'mon Mick... I know you've got Mac in the Contacts somewhere! It was nice to see him bring back Bekka Bramlett (who was in Fleetwood Mac for a time in the 90's) and Ricky Vito can bend strings with the best of them. Anyway... These Strange Times, indeed, 1995 and 2020.

Bill Frisell is no stranger to the Listening Thread here, but many, many years ago I met this incredible upright bassist at The Birchmere Club in Alexandria, Virginia. His little sister had a pretty good career going as a singer and fiddle player already, but the world outside of mainstream bluegrass had yet to hear much of Alison. That would change very soon. Viktor Krauss though... that guy had IT. And that sound, was what I wanted my bass playing to come across like. A short, but meaningful and substantive conversation later, I went home and switched to chromesteel strings, and started practicing 4 hours a night.
Driving to work this morning, I had grabbed East/West off the top of the pile. It had slipped my mind until "Grapevine" came growling out of the speakers on that 5:30 commute. What a monster player.

i had the great privilege of seeing Ms. Cotten live in Nov. '77, in a small club (the Earl Of Old Town, Chicago). One of the most amazing shows I've ever seen.
Peter
Truly a legend. Glad you got to see her Peter, she made picking look so easy. I was introduced to her music by fIREHOSE who covered Vastapol and also did a song dedicated to her... now have her cued up on Spotify.
Paul (who likes the view from under this here rock - and admittedly until a couple weeks ago did NOT know she was left handed until seeing an Instagram post about her!) :o
I will add - about 5 years ago, I saw her Martin at the Smithsonian; while that was cool and all, it looked a lot better in her hands........
Peter
Like Paul, I didn't know she was not just a lefty, but played a right-handed strung guitar upside down! I've only seen one other person play this way, a guy in a local country band about 30 years ago. I watch her fingers and it's like watching someone play an instrument that I have no idea how to play!

It's funny you guys mentioned it... she was on the cover of Sept./Oct. Acoustic Guitar Magazine; I had the same thought path... never noticed before, she is left-handed, and playing a right-handed guitar. My old '50 D-18 is a right-handed guitar that was played by (at least one) left-handed player during its life. It also has some right-handed play-wear from two other players, not counting me. I'm not sure in what order it accumulated the scars, but the left-handed player had it for a long time, played with a very full swing, with a heavy hand. There is nearly a hole played through the top in one place. I have to assume they had it strung for left-handed play to have worn it like this.
Elizabeth Cotten's guitar looks nice by comparison. :)
Kinda' makes me want to go home and play my old Martin guitar this evening... who's in? 8)
Yeah - I'm thinking that southpaw didn't a lot of finger-picking......
My dear friend the late Chicago folk legend Mick Scott was a superb finger-picker, but flatpicked & strummed just as much - and he was not gentle with his instruments; he played his '53 D-28 quite literally until it fell apart. His last acoustic was a 0000 custom by a gentleman named David Dollack (and the finest guitar I've ever played); see attached pic; he's in the middle. Note the oversized pickguard: Mick played a hole right through the upper treble bout; took it back to David for a new top - and instead (I think fearing a new top wouldn't sound as spectacular) he made that pickguard to cover the hole.
And to get the thread back on track, here he is with Mickey Clark; lousy sound quality, and nowhere near showing his ability - but you can see how the hole got there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vftvcs2mDek

Haven't had time to listen to the entire thing, but today marks 41 years since Fleetwood Mac released the Tusk album. Following up the torrential success of Rumours, it was somewhat doomed, but there was some pretty good music in between the weirdness. This Stevie Nicks' is one of my favorites that never got much attention. As usual, J. McVie's melodic style steals the show. (for me, anyway)

As to what I'm listening to - nothing from 10/12 until yesterday.
They gave me a new wheelchair, and the leg supports were too short - and there were no tools in the rehab gym. So my PT rolled me to another room, put me on what was basically a horizontal Stairmaster, & said "I'm going to my car to get my tools to adjust this; do you want some music?" Yes, I did indeed light up! "Whatcha got??" "Anything on YT." And I spent the next 23 minutes pumping my legs (if 3.5" range can be called "pumping" to the Beat Club, 4/21/72! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbdpBgAnKhM&list=OLAK5uy_nCc_clgjHRDUtSsTwvec0gK7gO_dBB3ns

Within my own recent inspiration of writing of lyrics and music, this sound definitely has been driving me creatively, and toward a new pending post pandemic performance musical project.

The Texan Women thing is probably Joey's fault... the Telecaster obsession is another foxhunt altogether.
The mention of "Texas Women" reminded me of this one.
Bill, tgo
Someone' conjured me from the ether . . . . .
Lee Ann is a shore-nuff Texas Woman, from just outside Waco in Jacksonville, TX. The song I'M posting is the sort of thing that got her signed. She went through the 'artist develpment' period, which is how you get 'I Hope You Dance', which now makes her cringe almost as bad as me, except I don't think she wants to stick sharp pencils in her eyes like I do when it comes on . . .
So, here's 'Say Never Again, Again' from the same project as 'Buckaroo'. I made lots of money playing tunes just like this in Texas. Saturday night, wooden dance floor big enough for two Prevosts, starched, pegged Wranglers, fresh straw cowboy hats, Lone Stars and
Tacos al Carbone. THIS is what 'country music' is SUPPOSED to sound like, by all that's holy, with pedal steel and fiddle. A classic shuffle arrangement, I was always a sucker for those unison changes with the 1-1#-2 walkups and the 4-3-3 flat-2 walkdowns. I could eat this stuff with a spoon and so does Lee Ann. She survived her 'major record deal' and is once again making great records on her own terms.
Texas. It's like a whole 'nother country !
[sigh] Makes me wanna' throw my stuff in the gig-mobile and hit I-81 S. / I-40 W... 500 miles and 25 years. Never Again, again. Indeed. :-[
Thanks, Joey - that there is some real, honest-to-Hank, country music!
Peter
While we're thinking about Texas, and pedal steel - how about Charlie Pride "So Afraid If Losing You Again". I think this probably predates Ronnie Miller, from Dallas, on steel, but anyway...
https://youtu.be/5q1tCbYDCxw
Hankster, that would be the great Lloyd Greene on steel, paired with Charley originally by the late producer Jack Clement. LG and Cp were an enduring partnership, two very smooth gents musically. Another recording/performing 'Nashville Cat' who appeared on hundreds of cuts.
Here's LG and another favorite of mine, Jay Dee Maness, taking turns on The Byrds' 'Hickory Wind'. LG is playing is his sig model Emmons LDG single neck, relatively simple by steel guitar standards, E9 single neck with the pad where the C6 neck would go, with only 4 pedals and a few levers. For outsiders to country music, pedal steel is analogous to Hammond organ in a rock band: Big background pads and fills, and proper solos or fills as required.
I utterly love playing with a good steel, and have been fortunate to have done so more than once. They're fiendishly difficult to play well and in tune, and are a cuckoo clock mechanically. The master Buddy Emmons got so frustrated early on, he put it down for two years to play bass, then went back. No wonder !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqQ7CMJypPg
Use both feet, both hands, and even your knees to play one of them wretched things. But there isn't much substitute for one. Can't believe I never thought about it before, but Joey dinged it - pedal steel is the B3 of the Country Band World.
Ha. I figured it was probably Lloyd but wasn't sure. I love a steel too - my brother is a steel player and I've spent some time at the Texas Steel Guitar Association annual jamboree with him and hung out with a number of great steel players, Jay Dee among them. He's been one of my favourites since the Byrds used him on Sweetheart of the Rodeo. Great stuff. Thanks Joey for that piece.

Recently in my search for influences for song writing , Leonard Cohen is definitely appreciated !
This is awesome as his work and influences can fit in various genres . As well his delivery is a style that I can reflect from :)
With a female operatic counter vocal singing a melodic part would be in my writing on newly inspired work . A full rock band as the backup is in my vision with such a project .
Paul
Where did you find this gem and what year is it? I don't remember seeing Tony Rice or Bela Fleck looking that young in a long time. And the bassist...I'm not sure what drew me in more, the head bobbing which made me fear it might fall off or the hair :)

I believe Tony adopted the term, "Spacegrass". Search for the Bluegrass All-Stars, Paul... ,there's quite a bit of footage of this bunch over the years. My goodness,

Or Strength In Numbers; same guys except Edgar Meyer on bass. Usually only extant at Telluride Bluegrass Festival - and always jaw-dropping (first time I encountered a vid of them, I told a friend I wasn't sure if I was watching Paul Winter & The Bluegrass Boys, or the Bill Monroe Consort).
Peter
Here ya' go, same event, a couple years later (Merle Watson Memorial Festival, 1992) and I was definitely there. Mark Schatz on bass. It was several years later (2000) before I got to play at MerleFest, but those days out front of that stage are what put that crazy fire in me.
https://youtu.be/RyCPwqRujd4
I used to see Strength in Numbers at Telluride, and they were the Telluride Allstars before they made Stength in Numbers the name for the Album.
Another good arrangement was Douglas Barenberg and Meyer...this puts me right back in Colorado!
What a great album that "Skip, Hop, & Wobble" was... still one of my all-time favorites! I need to put it back in the rotation.
Man, Tony is awesome, what a great band! Brings me back to my Telluride/Winterhawk days...yeeeeeehaaaa!

I just finally got around to checking out their first one yesterday. Wow, a lot going on! And a crazy amount of talent between just those two dudes. I saw McStine do a solo acoustic set opening for the Pineapple Thief about a year ago. He was great, and incredibly captivating.
Barenberg Douglas and Meyer played the Boulder Theater when this album came out, a buddy of mine and I taped it from our table close to the stage. I'll have to dig up that tape. And Edgar is amazing! :)
I really dig that guitar of his. (saw/heard it up close a couple years ago) 8)
Hey jazzyvee,
this popped up on my feed...Joan looks good! :)
I'd come across Susan Alcorn through my brother, who is a pedal steel player. I saw today that the New York Times rates her brief album "Pedernal" among the best jazz albums of 2020. This is pedal steel for the not faint of heart.

DEAR PRUDENCE. It wasn't bad enough seeing them on Ed Sullivan, but it was Paul's bass lines that utterly and completely drew me in. The loopy, sliding, and walking he does under this one was an eye-opener, and what I really had in mind: It ought to be 'too busy', but between what he played and how they fit it into the chart, this was just magical to my teenage self, and still a milestone for me all these many, many years later.
I wish McVie would write a book. Just some thoughts from a self-taught player with a gift for hearing the space between notes, for us hard-headed guys that need reassurance it can be done.
I've been trying (unsuccessfully, thus far) to figure out Station Man. Part of what he plays dubs the guitars, an octave down, the pedalled ones groove a really odd pattern with Mick, and at times seem to counter the guitars. I'm imagining they argued about several bars of it.
This live cut from May '75 is interesting. It's L. Buck on guitar by that time... but who's on the second guitar? Would that have been Ray Lindsey that far back? Did Waddy ever tour with them...? I know he played in the Buckingham/Nicks roadshow.
Anyway, safe bet this is McVies Alembic here too-

Leonard Cohen In my opinion has the ability to transverse multiple genres of accessibility in reaching an audience with his lyric composition. I am being influenced and inspired by his lyrics within my recent lyric writing Avalanche in a different genre. I love this tune. Likewise, I can relate to it !

Stuck in the middle with you - Stealers Wheel. it's a song that was in my head when I woke this morning and co-incidentally was playing in the supermarket on my visit there this evening.
ED of H: Remember your Nashville days. Hear it in numbers and intervals. The little turnarounds are simply major scale walk-ups, 2-3-4, then coming back under 6-7-1 back to the 1, with an octave up tag. The rest of it he's riffing under the mostly 1-4 chord structure off a pentatonic scale, I hear a lot of 1-5-6-1 bounces under the verses.
Sing the part in your head, then it will sync right up with the drum cues. BTW, I do believe that 2nd guitar is actually Christine, or like most 'live' records, they may have come back and OD'd a few extra parts . . . . . I'd believe this definitely started off as keyboard riffs from Christine they fleshed out into a tune.
Right on, and Thanks Joey!
I've about got this one whipped. I just had to let go and listen. There's a guy on TalkBass who's really good at sussing out McVie lines, (lives near me too) so I pinged him. He charted out Bare Trees for me last year.
You might be right about that second guitar being Chris' keys too. I don't think the guitars are overdubs. I don't even recognize this live recording... it's quite exciting to hear! At 1975, that's very early Buckingham in Fleetwood Mac, and he was still trying very hard to emulate his predecessors, (did a fine job here too, copping Danny's slide licks without a slide) then towards the end, he just lets loose. I cant tell if this is the Blasterized Strat, but it sorta' sounds more like his Les Paul... don't have that good an ear for guitars yet.
If I get bold, I might post this one afterwhile.
I pull this up and watch it at least once a year. I just sent it to my brother who turns 71 today. He had tickets to Woodstock, but got discouraged by all the traffic, turned around and went home. To add insult to injury, he doesn't even have the unused tickets as my dad mailed them to the NY Attorney General and told him he should get my brother's back (which, of course, never happened). So enjoy this clip in which closed captioned lyrics are provided for the "clear-headed".

I'm sure these are reposts here, but I'll be listening to Tony Rice a lot today. So much of my musical foundation is on that guy's records... I was just coming of age in 1987 when his Me & My Guitar album came out, and that was IT, there was the sound.

https://youtu.be/A7FtY46iA1k
Today it's all Tony all the time. I like this one:
https://youtu.be/wMm38GGxZmk
Nothing coming from a guitar will ever compare to the first time I dropped the needle on "Manzanita".
Still spinning Tony's catalog. This album, specifically, was how I discovered Norman Blake all those years ago.

Well then you would have laughed at me when I listened to that track... I did a "Wait...What?...That's the Beach Boys!"
IMusic can suggest some great music especially after your preferences are known. This is a great tune that I'm very glad was made before Chris Squire's passing.

Katherine, one of our fiddlers, brought this sweet old tune to the jam circle last night. I had forgotten about it, but I learned it waaaay back in the late-80's. We might be 30 years apart, but sometimes I think Kat and me fell off the same turnip truck.

My wife handed me Sturgill Simpson's Cuttin' Grass Vol. 1 last night and said to take it to work for my Friday (today is the end of my work week - well 10 days in row week...).
Anyhow, I am glad that it is Vol 1 as it indicates a 2nd volume is on the horizon.
Can't say I have a favorite song yet.

My coworker drew my attention to this fantastic show the other day, so this snowy morning from the warm comfort of my Control Room, I'm listening to the last show of that glorious Spring East Coast Tour... 5/28/1977 - Hartford, Connecticut. You just knew they were ON from downbeat here.

Watching Steve Gadd band on youtube concert from 2019 at Jazz San Javier. JimmyJohnson on bass. Great players and superb sound through the sony soundbar and sub.
They are a great band. Sonicus, Hieronymous, and I saw them live just about a year ago. Last concert I attended before the lock down.

I was hanging out with a friend recently, having a few drinks and he was playing Rumors; I remember when it came out as a teen and I was into different stuff like Alice Cooper, and was starting to learn about the really outside stuff like Captain Beefheart, Devo, etc...so I paid it little attention...I'm glad he was playing it because I get it now, a damn good album from a damn good band...Tony

I've been on an Eva Cassidy thing today. And about 50,000 volts of caffeine later, I feel pretty good. Little shaky. But stuff makes sense again. There is still melody running in my head. And I can still find the dadblame ones. My fingers are there. I just know it. I can see them. Sing it, girly.

Was just listening to a SBD of the 2/13/70 Fillmore early show. My fourth Dead show, first time hearing the Allman Bros. and only time I got to see Love. Sure wish I had been able to stay for the late show! Both nights, early and late are really good.
Stephen, someone drew my attention to the 2/11/70 Show at Fillmore the other day, because several members of Fleetwood Mac and the Allman Bros. were in for a jam... did you happen to make that show? I'm curious about who was in on it. I figured Peter Green, maybe Jeremy Spencer at that time.
Happy Valentines Day :)

Hey Greg, did not make it to this show but it is considered one for the ages. According to Phil's book the participants in the Darkstar/Lovelight jam are Duane Allman, Greg Allman, Butch Trucks, Berry Oakley (takes over for Phil halfway through Lovelight), Peter Green, Danny Kirwin, Mick Fleetwood (not sure if Mick actually played anything but percussion, Arthur Lee of Love also plays percussion. There is one really blurry picture floating around where you can see everyone on stage together, think the show ended at 7:30 AM! Easy to find recordings on the Live Music Archive or Youtube if you want to check it out.
Thanks! ;) Danny Kirwan is currently my favorite of all the Mac guitarists. (almost like Dead keyboardists...) I will look.
Stephen, very cool you got to see those shows!
Greg, here are a couple of links, I love their raw sound from this era:

From reading several accounts & watching a few videos (different edits, I think), I would say that at one time or another you hear J. Garcia, B. Weir (who seems to have stepped out early; maybe as soon as Duane came on), P. Lesh, M. Hart, B. Kreutzmann, P. Pen, D. Allman, G. Allman, B. Oakley, B. Trucks, P. Green, D. Kirwan, J. Spencer, M. Fleetwood, and A. Lee. (Mick & Arthur just on percussion; Butch took over Mickey's kit, and Mickey switched to hand percussion).
Peter (
That is a quite an impressive, and comprehensive list. Especially if this was a free-for-all jam. Not that I have any trouble believing that bunch could pull it off. Wow. Must have been a heluva show.
"P. Pen". Love it!

The funny thing is on your profile you can set the number of messages to display per page, and for me it's at 50 - which makes this page 101. Plain weird.
I'll never forget the first time the HGB guys told me we were going to cover Billie-Jean for a gig. I really thought Josh was pulling my leg. Then Gabe sent me an arrangement. I thought, okay, so it's a band hazing... I'll play along. :) Turned out, they were totally serious.
Then I learned it. Super-fun tune, especially in a Franklin Co. newgrass/jamband outfit. I hope they put it back in the set, if we ever get to play again that is. ::)

Earlier today The Lovely And Charming Mrs. Cowboy (and I thus as well) was listening to some Paul Simon; among the songs I heard was "Graceland" - and it hit me once again: Yes, he's had a 5-decade-plus career turning out some of the finest songs ever composed; his place as a Great American Poet, however, would be secure if he'd never written anything except the line "The Mississippi Delta was shining like a National guitar".
Peter
And also wrote: "do do do do feelin' groovy".
(Just pulling your lower appendage. Simon is right up there with just a few others like Dylan, Lennon/McCartney, Joni Mitchell, Pete Townsend, Jagger/Richards, and, IMHO, Hunter/Garcia).

Used to do that tune during my time in Blue Moonshine Band. That line always hit me too... and the poetic value is just as powerful even if you don't understand why a National Guitar would be shiny. Paul Simon, even if you don't care for the delivery, his writing is incredibly detailed. Revisit "The Sound Of Silence" sometime.

I keep a running email thread with a couple guys on here... kind of a Shadetree Loothiers Club.
Anyway, one of 'em drew my attention to Lowell George, and Little Feat in one of our strings the other day, and attached an article from the New York Post Washington Post way back in 1981 I really enjoyed. So I went a-lookin'... Emmy-Lou and Bonnie wound up in the mix here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3z-GwdaKrn8
Here was that NYP story, if you have a few minutes. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1981/09/27/the-life-38/48ddbed2-002e-49ef-934e-fe3d60f116c0/
Much thanks for posting that, Gregory. Little Feat has long been one of my favorites. I was in a nine piece band about 30 years ago that had a keyboard player who worshipped Billy Payne, so we did some Little Feat and originals he wrote in the style. Big fun to play. The article is actually from the Washington Post, not the NY Post. There is a HUGE difference. Sort of like Shakespeare vs. the National Inquirer!

Thanks for the correction... I fixt it. And the thanks to [ed_zeppelin] for the heads-up. I really enjoyed the story.

A major influence for me. I bought "The Last Record Album" mostly because of the jackelope on the sleeve. When I listen to it it knocked me off my feet. Or feat. Still haven't gotten back up.

Wandered in here and saw the posts about Little Feat. One of my all time favorite bands and perhaps the best live band I saw in the 70s. Every single member was amazing. Lowell was an amazing guitarist, had loads of charisma on stage and wrote great songs with really quirky rhythmic twists, it is not easy to properly cover Little Feat. Little Feat's "Sailin' Shoes" is the only record I can remember buying based on a record review (Rolling Stone). I turned everyone I knew onto the band since nobody was aware of them. I finally got a chance to see them in 1973 at Max's Kansas City in NYC, tiny club, they were opening for Bonnie Raiit. Most of LF sat in with Bonnie, at the time she was touring only with Freebo (bass player). Feel incredibly lucky to have seen LF 18 times before Lowell passed and also went to two of his solo shows at The Bottom Line about a week before he died. Forrest George, Lowell's son, has been lobbying the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to nominate his dad and Little Feat, so far no luck, criminal they have been passed up. All of the 70s Little Feat albums are classics. The revamped Little Feat was still a great band but I never truly got over them losing Lowell.
Lowell definitely had a stratoblaster installed in his Strat and like Bonnie Raitt used Howard Dumble amps which have a nice overdrive characteristic of their own. During the later Lowell-era Kenny Gradney was using an F2-B in his bass rig and I thought it sounded way better than the Sunn amp he used previously.

That's a really good "Eyes"... nice bounce to it. That 9/3/77 Englishtown Show was a landmark for several of my favorites.
This sounded like a lotta' fun goin' on.

*particularly from 4:40 out...
No idea why this was in my head when I woke this morning but since I don't know any lyrics apart from the title and the groove.
My wife introduced me to Animal Logic decades ago. She is a huge Stewart Copland fan... I said, do you know who is on bass?! :D

Happy guitar sounds. And a Telecaster with flames. On a bunk in the back of a tour bus. Now that's how to run a Friday morning. :)
Reminded by a recent thread, I went back and spun The Dance from 1997. It was an exciting time for Mac fans, especially when a couple new tunes came out. The little arpeggiated thing Chris plays at 1:17 just makes the song. (she played it on the track that became the eventual album release for Say You Will in 2003, but it's buried in the mix)

For Coz, a, (maybe the only) Hammered Dulcimer band- No Strings Attached, playing the title track from Blue Roses.
https://youtu.be/2UcYS6aFdH0
Hammered Dulcimer player Wes Chappell was a coworker of mine at Fret Mill Music waybackwhen. Retired to the Carolina coast, where I hear he teaches music lessons and tunes hammered dulcimers... Bassist was... Bob Thomas. Bob died kinda' suddenly at the end of 2011, just as our neo-oldtyme band New River Bound was taking off. He was an associate of our guitar player and bandleader there in jazz and Celtic circles, and I think he dug what we were about to do with Appalachian string band music arranged kinda' like a quartet. Anyway. Yep. I've had quite a melting pot of influence here. A lot of fine musicians in my head.
Sounds like Bob was a good guy.
And a decent bassist!

The basic logic and physics of these assertions seem to make sense to me !
It always seemed glaringly obvious to me that those things would not connect most pedals to each other - so I never thought further to consider the damage aspect. Makes sense to me. And I like the way he talks. Not the accent - though that's fun to listen to as well - but his word choices & style. I may well be more of his stuff; thanks, Wolf.

Too big for a Whitebook logo too, which was my first guess, and I don't recall seeing a Whitebook OM type anyway. I posted a question in the comment section of their video.
I had never heard of Matao, but upon investigation, I do believe you're right, Bill.

I love this band from Sweden ! I love their sound and feel,
This performance is a sublime example of what this band is capable of :Female vocals; Heike Langhans (Official)
Male Vocals and song writer Poet, Anders Jacobson. Here we have in my estimation of what is a continuing representation of the Beauty & Beast ; Male / Female reciprocal vocal style, that was originally conceptualized by the original Theatre of Tragedy from Norway,
My newly developed form of lyric writing is influenced by this reciprocal style. I find this performance to be truly beautiful . Singer Heike Langhans is one of the most sincere performers in this genre that I have heard .

I believe it was in 1974 that I saw Tom Waits open for Marty Mull and His Fabulous Furniture at The Troubadour in L.A. Halfway through his set, Waits reached inside his sport coat, pulled out an open beer, took a swig, then turned to the audience and said in his gravelly Waits voice, "came with the coat". During his set, Mull pulled out a vibrator and started playing slide guitar with it. Then he turned it on, went into "Purple Haze", and exclaimed "so that's how Hendrix did it"!

In a discussion about this very jam the other day, with one of my co-workers who follows these discussions on various platforms, I heard where he had gotten some criticism, and was somewhat bewildered by it. Realizing I am somewhat of a newcomer and neophyte, and not really educated enough to have an opinion... it just seems to me that Grateful Dead music is supposed to be fun, first of all. Then you worry about picking the nits. ::)
Larry and Tony are gone now, but this was a pretty good collaborative effort. It just took a while to grow on me. This would be a good tune for HGB to cover, our Franklin County hometown roots being known far-n-wide for clandestine liquor-runnin'.

Oh Man, how did I miss this show?! :( That stage is 30 miles from my chair.
I grew up playing music in the Floyd Country Store, Coz, back when it really was a Country Store, run by a dobro player named Freeman Cockram. On Friday evenings, he would move all the grocery shelves out of the way, and host the Friday Nite Jamboree. Last I heard, Dylan Locke (on bass here) and his wife were booking and managing the FCS as a music venue for the current owners. Glad to see it's back up and running. :)
*I once reset Dylan's bass soundpost at an I-81 park-n-ride. Bassist emergencies, you know... make a call, a guy shows up with an inspection mirror, a flashlight, and a soundpost setter. ;D
You know, I don't think I've ever come across a female-fronted reggae band - and I had despaired of ever again hearing new reggae that sounded more like reggae than rap.

Peter
My buddy John over at Bluegrass Today has a column a couple times a week called "Ask Sonny Anything" whereon fans write in and ask Sonny Osborne (banjo master; Osborne Bros.) well, just about anything. It's often very entertaining the raw answers. I'll have to come back to the Crosby Series.

Most people never knew he played fiddle/violin too. Truth be told, he could play any instrument you handed him, but his preferred interpretation was guitar. He played both here.

Both very nice,Greg! And yes, I do remember Forrest; we exchanged some e-mails comparing notes on the guys in a band he played in & did some shows with (not when he was with them). We were largely in agreement.
And a stray thought just wandered into what's left of my brain, and I think you'd be more likely to know the answer than anyone else I know: Is Sharon Gilchrist related to Gilchrist guitars & mandolins?

Steve Purcell: https://youtu.be/676L5LxQtgk

The name is apparently a wild coincidence, Coz, but I had wondered the same thing... a mandolin master-builder and a master player sharing an unusual surname? It just works. She played a Gilchrist for a while too. No direct relationship.
Forest and I had a guitar player in common, another weird coincidence. Brad "Buster B." Jones. He lived and worked here in Roanoke/Salem area for a while back in the early 90's, and recorded at the same studio I did often, so of course I knew him. Occasionally we played some. There is still a Memorial to Brad at Fret Mill Music. I only got fired once from there... Brad got canned at least three times. Forest had some great road stories about him, and was thinking about a book.

How I got from the Dan Tyminski Band to Bruce Hornsby & The Range might seem like a golfball teed-off in a tile bathroom... that's just how it works sometimes. Maybe it's the reference to natural disasters that made me remember The Red Plains. Bruce Hornsby actually won a Grammy for best bluegrass album one time, and ticked off a few of the dyed-in-the-wool crowd who didn't know that much about him. He used to come to the Fiddlers Convention in Galax every year, but never brought his piano along. They mighta' cut him some slack if he had.

I don't know if I ever realized how often she probably had to do Love at the Five & Dime. Oblivious to its appeal.
Here's one I've known for a while, and recently started trying to adapt it to something I can do with an Alembicized Telecaster guitar. Blue notes, slight overdrive. (and about half cut-time here)

This live recording is probably bootlegged from a 1974 Alabama show, and shortly after the time Lindsey was Don Everly's guitarist. Anyway, Buckingham/Nicks had already been trying to do their own thing for a while by this time, but you can hear that influence here. One wonders how things might have been different...

*I Don't Wanna Know didn't reach bigger audiences until February 1977, when it circumstantially replaced Silver Springs on Rumours.
Driving up to the Northwoods there are spots where you either pickup religious radio stations or right-leaning political talk shows.... Or you listen to cd's. Sometimes you get radio reception that reveals some darn good music.*.
Glenn Campbell came on and after this song finished I reflected on the line "
and the Wichita lineman, is still on the line..."
With all of the cellphones these days and the lack of land lines...
Is the Wichita lineman REALLY still on the line? ???
Jimmy Webb wrote this song... the story for his inspiration makes it even more beautiful and melancholic.

That left-handed fiddler would be Bobby Slone, indeed unusual. He also played upright bass left handed. ;)

I almost posted that one, but it didn't have quite the speed I was looking for to compare with Sierra. Just a little bit of talent in that line-up, eh?
Yessir. And it's a perfect illustration of the generational jump. That band was a very big part of what inspired my particular generation of young bluegrass players when we were coming of age. Sierra, and her peers are taking in on down the road. I just posted one of her with (hubby) Justin Moses and their bass player Geoff Saunders the other day absolutely shredding a tune from the classic Blake & Rice album. I laughed for 15 minutes it was so good. These kids can play circles around anything we ever thought of, but that isn't it, not a show-up or show-off... it's playing tribute. I will guarantee you Norman Blake enjoyed it even more.
Sierra and Ethan takin' a ride on Earl's "Foggy Mountain Special" with a Fender Mandocaster and Upright bass. What a jam.

Tangential question, for posting 'bass covers' on tunes like this... I've seen/watched thousands of bass covers probably. I learn from them. I made quite a few during the gig-less 2020 season, playing along with this or that - but every time I tried to post one, even when clearly marked as such, I got a little nasty-gram from YT and it was blocked.
I don't know how to set up the channel to give proper credit so whoever gets paid whatever. I don't want any of it, I just want to share uploads with my whopping circle of 8 subscribers. (yeah, ain't nobody much cares what the ham-sandwich I'm playin' anyway...)
Just curious, what is the trick? What's the right thing to do?

I don't think I've had trouble with YouTube, but if I post directly to Facebook, they're prone to getting muted, at least partially. I don't know exactly what the trick is. I usually put in a disclaimer crediting the writer(s) and saying it's for educational use only or something like that. Still a crapshoot.

His new album
"My Bluegrass Heart" just debuted (sp.?) yesterday, and they are in Roanoke next weekend. I'm on the fence about going. I had a gig that got cancelled that evening, so I am unexpectedly free.

Last night I watched this video posted in one of the facebook Alembic by one of the members I struck a conversation with about his Rogue Bass. I think you might enjoy it too.The bass sounds great and to my beginner "dead head" ears this as flavours of Mr Lesh even though he is not using a pick.

Only had time for a little taste right now - but, based on what I heard in that I will most certainly be giving the whole thing a listen later;
very nice (and with an actual, full-sized
bass speaker, yet! Far too rare these days, to my ears.)

Yeah! Looks like an 18 coupled with a 2 x 10... and I am NOT a gear nerd. Absolutely love the bass player's energy... and "we" know where he is coming from:
Great sounding and easy playing bass running through a set up that is dialed in and a band that grooves. He takes a solo at the 30:00 mark and travels all over that 5'ers neck.
Paul (who is surprised at the 'cricket cricket' when these guys finish a song... hoping that is because of the mic setup not picking up the appreciative audience)
The guy on our right with the Hawai'ian shirt & Alverez-Yairi has a singing voice so familiar that makes me think I should know his name right off; can anyone help me on that?
Peter
Just finished it.
DAY-YUM!!! That's nice!
Peter
Yeah I watched some of it again last night. The sound balance is really good so I expect the recording is from the desk not front of stage. Once the live music scene opens up I hope to get the opportunity to delve into some other genres that allow me to access a wider spectrum from my bass than i generally get to use from my reggae gigs.
Yeah, the production values, both audio and video, are on a par with the superb musicianship.
And worry not, Paul; I did hear applause. I am of the opinion that it's low dB levels are a combo of mic placement & a very small audience.
Peter

Leo Sayer has jumped into my head from a different thread. All I remember about him is the Endless Flight album cover and how my neighbor looked a lot like Leo (well at least his hair).

Great rendition. What instrument is that? Hybrid ukulele?
It's a 5-string ukulele; as near as I know, 5-string ukes always have the 4th & 5th as a unison paired course, rather than adding another note.
And I find I must let the teacher in me have his say: The name is properly pronounced oo-coo-LAY-lay, not "yuke-a-LAY-lee".
Peter
Thanks for the info. And isn't the top string(s) tuned higher than the others?
Paul (who is in the later group for pronunciation... given it's island origin the former seems appropriate).
(who also recalls Grandpa Jensik playing the heck out of a Uke when he wasn't blowing harmonica or playing piano like Eubie Blake)

I think that is usually the case; I have friends who perform in an ukulele orchestra, but have attempted the instrument myself, so I'm not sure.
Peter
I have also seen one where 2nd string is also paired.
I can't hear that song without being transported into my mtn. bike racing days; I was racing the first Hornby Island mtn. bike festival, the course was awesome but due to lack of water I 'bonked' hard...I also crashed because of it and broke my chain...as I was delieriously pushing my bike through the woods, "wicked game" was wafting in as they were testing the PA for the after party, and it was the first time I'd heard the song...needless to say, a strong impression...oh, and a friend's beer saved my life that night...Tony.

An update: I was just watching that again, and noticed the inlays; they may just look like triangles, but in traditional Hawai'ian tattooing they are shark teeth (my oldest lived on Maui for about 6 years, and has a tat with several of them), so I'm assuming either the inlay or the instrument itself are custom.

The late Johnny Winter (from my hometown of Beaumont, TX, where I used to get his or Edgar's schoolbooks, where they'd signed inside the front cover when issued), here from one of the Crossroads Festivals, ably backed by Derek and some more of the TTB on his version of Dylan's 'Hwy 61 Revisited'.

Loved that Manring excerpt with the E-bow (except for that one ear-piercing note that my ears can no longer take). I've thought about E-bows from time to time in the past; maybe it's time to think about them again.
Y'all have to check out the lyrics on this one. (They are close-captioned for your convenience). Words fail me!

Is that a lake or a Reservoir? :)
It's an interesting story.
Actually... that wasn't bad.
Goes to show you, any lyrics sung with conviction can be moving. Even the same lyrics in different order.

Listening to Fairytale Of New York by the Pogues, i have a stand in gig next week with an acoustic band doing their regular Christmas gig. Got a load of Christmas carols to do so I think this could be a safe one to get the classico on. I have always loved that song.
I've been listening to around a half dozen versions of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No 3. This one may be my favorite so far. Period correct instruments, good recording (and enjoyable video).
Most excellent!
Bill, tgo
Most excellent, indeed!
As a youngster (age 17-26) I was involved with a young lady who got her BM* in Harpsichord Performance. She hipped me to a woman (whose name has, alas, fallen by the wayside decades ago) who was a proponent of using ensembles sized & instrumented in the fashion that ol' Johann actually wrote for, at a time when it was far more common to use full-sized modern orchestras; she was revered in Baroque-hardcore circles for telling some famous conductor (also no longer in the memory banks) who was rather militant about doing it with full-blown modernism "That's fine, you go ahead and feel free to play Bach your way, and I'll go ahead & keep playing Bach his way."

This song showed up on my MP3 player on a "mix" folder I had made years ago. Listening while I was doing some seasonal finishing work in the garden. It hit really heavy, the Paris Agreement recently met and they all seemed to agree that there IS a climate problem. Those that can impart real, expedient change are dragging their feet for a multitude of reasons ($$$$ or lack of profit for them and their shareholders).
So what? Well the burden falls on us, the people who see the problem, that feel the problem, that are fearful for our grandchildren and their children.... We do the best we can, will it be enough?

Just finished watching the first episode of "The Beatles: Get Back" on Disney+. Incredible footage! Watching them writing the songs we all know so well is a rare treat. You literally are witness to the very birth of "Get Back". Fascinating stuff! A real must see for anyone like me who grew up with them. The three episodes total 8 hours, so it's only a buck an hour to sign up with Disney+ for $7.99 for a month with anytime cancel. Well worth it.

Given the new (apparently hagiographic) bio-pic on the erstwhile Princess of Wales, it seems like a good time for the genius of Mojo Nixon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPCiEXOG-o4

Wow, a dark take on that; thank you Mojo, someone's gotta do it and it can't always be me...especially as I don't have a record deal...I love Mojo Nixon...Tony.
I just love this stuff. After all the serious music, this is just cotton candy, all driven by the late Rutger Gunnarson, and I just can't help myself:
Gunnarson worked with the original Hagstrom on a bass of his own, recreated faithfully by the current iteration of Hagstrom:

Admittedly prior to Wolf's latest video posting, the first time I read/ heard "churl" was (I believe) on a Dixie Dregs album cover.
Paul,
The " Early Modern English " 1500-1800, lexicon of vocabulary, offers a large bouquet of what now are presently considered archaic word choices as well as sentence structure. I am currently studying all, and any, English examples of this time period, Prose, Poetry and Drama.

As I believe I have mentioned, in '77 I had the honor of seeing her in a small club; sat (with 4 members of Chicago folk royalty) close enough to watch every move her fingers made. One and all were awe-struck.

Pete, I was probably standing right next to you! Saw them at the Garden with Molly Hatchet once too, and I'm pretty sure at the Garden State Arts Center as well...fun stuff! :)
Saw the Outlaws at the Milwaukee Auditorium in the late 70's. Plumb Loco opened for them and would later play at my first wedding.... Somehow my buddies and I managed to snag front row seats! I recall we were really jacked up and having a blast being that close to the stage... then at one point I turned around and saw all of these people behind us and was shook! Pretty sure my eyes bugged out and I turned around and sat down quickly. But in no time got back on my feet and was acting the fool again. Rock-n-roll Good times!

I see the videos just fine and they play when clicked. I am using and older version, though not that old, of Firefox.
What browser are you using? Do you have any addons? Were any updates applied recently?
I've been listening to the Ashby-Ostermann Alliance after discovering someone converted their LP to digital and put it up on YouTube. They were probably the best of the local Chicago Jazz Fusion bands back in the mid 70's to mid 80's and got a lot of play time on the progressive AOR stations there.

I just stumbled upon this "Black Magic Woman" from what is definitely the Bob Welch iteration of Fleetwood Mac...
https://youtu.be/dETa5maSEcw
This must be one of John McVie's first appearances with an Alembic; looks like #73-27 before any changes. (no master volume, still has its old bar tailpiece and black pickups... that bass must have been fairly new) But who in the world is the organ player onstage opposite Christine? Bob introduces him at 3:42 in, but I can't understand what he says. Anyone?
I think it is Doug Graves who was hired hand on part of the 1974 your.

Good call, Keith... I hear it clearly now too. Cool. I had no idea there ever was an extra keys player before Tuggle on the '97 Dance tour. Wow.
*I hope they post some more of that show. The audio is pretty decent, and that's a pretty good timeframe. (this is apparently from the Heroes Are Hard To Find tour sometime in '74, around the end of Welch's tenure...)
What a great time I've had on a snowy day...
After some more reading about, it looks like this, and the other recordings from this show were made 12/15/1974 at the Record Plant in Sausalito. The band, at least this one with Bob Welch and Doug Graves was basically defunct as of 12/5. Mick was already looking at Lindsey Buckingham by this time, he and Stevie Nicks would join the band New Year's Eve two weeks later.
Reading on, it says Graves was actually offered a full-time job in the band, as backup for Christine, but it was decided later on not needed. Quoting-
In late 1974 Graves was preparing to become a permanent member of the band by the end of their US tour. He said:
I'm looking forward to adding something to this already great band. I helped engineer their album 'Heroes Are Hard to Find' and got to know each member well. It came to me as a shock when Mick asked me to join but I am enjoying playing live with the band, and hopefully will start a new studio album with the band soon.
However, Graves did not ultimately join full-time. In 1980, Christine McVie explained the decision:
He (Doug Graves) was there to back me up, but I think it was decided after the first two or three concerts that I was better off without him. The band wanted me to expand my role and have a little more freedom, so he played some organ behind me, but he didn't play the same way I did.Here is Sentimental Lady > Future Games from the same set.
*Alas, it said nothing of the BSB pickups in John's bass... were they the originals and the black ones replacements?

Greg, that Dylan and the Dead is a good album, the Dead were very solid behind Dylan for those shows, and Jerry played pedal Steele on I'll be your Baby Tonight during those shows! I went to the three east coast shows (Foxboro, Giants Stadium, and Philly). I saw the year before as well when Dylan played with Tom Petty and his band and the Dead played as the second band, Dylan played a couple tunes with the Dead those shows as well. Good Stuff!

Caught Duran Duran on AUSTIN CITY LIMITS this weekend. Always been a big fan of them and John Taylor. They're in fine form here, John's very present in the broadcast mix on his Dingwalls. Good to see them still going for it instead of phoning in a bored greatest hits set.
OK, yeah - I guess I
have reached the point in my life where the "Eh, these new bands just don't do it for me" acts now pop up in pictures looking like old farts..........

Thanks Roger-
Montrose was a treat! I haven't heard that in ages. 😎
After Rob posted Little Martha here a couple years ago, I went on a case study, the tune stayed in my head so... no wonder Douglas thought so much of it he included it on his next project. Got me off the hook.

A little bit of Ed of H trivia. The setting for his video here- The Down Home restaurant in Johnson City, Tennessee. It was sort of the 'home base' for Acoustic Endeavors, the first band I was in that paid the bills. Played that glorious wooden room on that very stage many, many times. Buried a set list in the ceiling tiles once. Alison (yeah, her) sang Happy Birthday to our guitar-player's Mom from the pay phone outside the Green Room one night.
*David Holt & Ed Snodderly were partners in the Down Home. They also played cameo parts of the "Village Idiots" in Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?
My friend on FB ; Rosalie Cunningham, is on my short list of all time most appreciated and favourite vocalists and songwriter poets. She is also a very accomplished guitarist.

While I certainly appreciate the consideration you are showing to the club, having been hanging out here for 15+ years I believe I can safely say that posting a link to a song that includes blue language will not upset this community in the slightest.

And the keyboard player went from a band that wore costumes to perhaps the least theatrical band ever (OK, with a stopover at Todd Rundgren in between, but still......).

After hearing a track from Toots Thielemans and Kenny Werner's 'duet' album on the radio, I was compelled to purchase the whole disc. Toots has an amazing repertoire, I know of home from his work with Jaco and of course Sesame Street. Listening to the disc while the ice/ rain falls outside today and my wife commented; "oh that's a Dusty Springfield song". I thought I should check the liner notes; it was indeed part of the Legrand Medley - Windmills of Your Mind which Dusty did cover. Further reading reveals some beautiful sentiments from Kenny towards Toots complimenting his musicianship and ability to follow all of Kenny's 'curveballs'. It wasn't until that point that the realization that this is a disc from recordings performed in front of a live audience in Belgium 2001 came to me... truly enjoyable "easy listening".
What else today?

As unmistakable as Norm's D-18 in the vid I posted of Tut. Listen to how crisp it gets when he plays back at the bridge. D-28's (particularly 50's models) have a weird mid-scooped range like that. If you ever learn how to control one, they are a devastating rhythm instrument. If you don't, they are a soundguy's nightmare.

Well, as soundguy for the owner of that particular one (I'd know those pick-wear patterns anywhere), I was quite happy that he it sussed (it was a superb lead & fingerpicking tool as well; just an amazing instrument).

Nice to see the U.S.P.S. has stepped up their game... I sent three packages out to various points of longitude in this Great Land on Monday, and they all arrived at their destinations by, or before yesterday. :)
The Front Porch record was a great time in life. I had just started getting serious about playing guitar and performing as something other than a bass player. A new fence to swing for. I was hoping to revisit the Porch with Curt, next time with some plugged-in guitars, and do something similar, homegrown... maybe it was "Front Porch, revisited" maybe it was "Back Porch" this time, I hadn't decided. But there were plans brewing. I still might do something, but I don't have that steel-bar-wielding sounding board to throw ideas at anymore. He's in my head though.

Boy, is it ever.
I was always a huge fan, and the later stuff with the TOP horns is exactly the big r+r horn band kind of thing I grew up with, and would have loved to have been in. Born to late . . . .
. . . and those big horn bands I grew up listening to (like Edgar Winter's White Trash and The Boogie Kings) used to wear out THIS one, the late Buddy Miles '

Looks like these guys have that soft spot as well.

And besides being excellent, they seem to be a fairly fluid, as well; I have now seen 3 vids of them: 1 as a quartet, 1 as a quintet, & 1 as a sextet. According to their website, you can also book them as a trio (no drums or keys) or duo (just guitars).

That was powerful.
This got stuck in my head this morning.
Mr. Herring is a certified monster! And, of all the guitarists who have sat in the "Jerry" chair since '95, my money has him as, if not the best (though I'd go with that), the best suited to the role; enough of a nod to Jer to make it fit, but without anything approaching slavish apery - and by far the most able to bring it on level of the Grateful Dead on the more adventurous improvs.

About 2 weeks ago, I went on the Achilles Wheel website & ordered their 3-CD set Live On Wesley's Road. It got here about 1 week ago, and nothing else has touched the car player or my main computer since; I mean, these guys are good!
I kid you not: If I was booking a 4-day festival, and had Rare Earth, the original lineup of the Allman Brothers Band and the Grateful dead lineup from - oh, say, anytime before Aug. 1990 - booked to headline 3 nights, I would not hesitate to sign Achilles Wheel for the 4th!

The YT bots graced me with this Jerry Reed classic the other night, and this bass part caused me fits...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkadCypyCWQ
Somebody said; Steve Bryant jack-stomped it. Yep, that's how I'd call it! ;D
Love when a live bass part takes off! He was stretching his fingers a bit . 😃

Mr Bojangles by John Holt. one of the tracks i'm learning for a dep guitar gig with a friend's reggae band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6jiqv-P6tI
While we're on the theme, here's another out-of-left-field tune given the Reggae treatment:
And here 's my all time favorite version of Mr. Bojangles, especially starting at about the 2:40 mark where Bromberg tells about touring with Jerry Jeff Walker and the true story behind the song.
Bill, tgo
Nefesh Mountain: https://youtu.be/IRClgyNXKlA
Peter
I love that version, too, Bill.
I saw JJW do it once, and he said that he didn't understand why so many people assumed "Mr. Bojangles" was Black; he said something like "This was New Orleans in the early '60s; they'd be happy to arrest you and beat you up - but they wouldn't put you in a cell with a Black man".
Peter
That's a great version. I've never heard it before.
Awakening on this, the morning on my 67th birthday, I perceived a brief glimpse this song floating around the edges of my consciousness.
Bill, tgo (who wonders "how the f*** did I get to be 67!!!!")
Happy Birthday, Bill. They just keep adding up, I hear. Somebody ought to work on that. ;D
Aw, crap - I meant to start a HBD thread this AM - but I'm almost as old as you, and forgot.
Happy birthday, Bill!

I've always thought this Clapton tune and Reuben & Cherise sounded a lot alike.
Bill, tgo
That's a great Clapton tune, the George Harrison period :)
Never thought about that as I don't think I've ever listened to one song while thinking about the other but they are very similar.
I hadn't caught that before, but I do believe you're right, Bill.

Though Eric may have been the source, I love the pocket Rayna plays in. And Kieran's guitar backup is brilliant. (reflected in her face with those little Norman Blake throw-off runs)

It still pisses me off that Buffy was blacklisted.

Edgar Winter's new tribute: Brother Johnny
Lots of great guitar players doing Johnny Winter tunes including Steve Lukather, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Warren Haynes, Robben Ford, Joe Bonamassa, and more.
Here's a track featuring Billy Gibbons and Derek Trucks
There's a write-up on this in the current issue of Vintage Guitar; Edgar says "It was pretty obvious pretty quickly that Johnny was going to be the guitar player - so I decided I'd just play everything else."

I filled in on (upright) bass for my Dad on a job with these guys last night, and had the best time. I've been going up to Mr. Harlow's house for rehearsals every Sunday afternoon for the past few weeks getting ready for this show. He is 88 years old now, and sharp as ever behind the mic. Very witty showman, and uncompromisingly true to his traditional bluegrass style.

Hey Pauldo!
When I first transplanted the Activators into the bass (over a decade ago), I made a post to razz J_O_E_Y, bc it's a BIG RED BASS.... But beyond that I haven't discussed much about my Activated basses.... The LP standard Gibsons basically take a humbucker sized pup, and I put a set of Alembic HG's in with a vol/vol/bass/treb circuit.... Would really like to upgrade to a sig package someday....

My other favorite live recording. Pink Floyd's
THE DELICATE SOUND OF THUNDER.
A somber, mordant voyage to the edge of the subconscious for me, this set of tunes in this performance always resonates deeply with me in ways I never completely understand, yet moves me powerfully. Not pretty, shiny, or bright, but makes me feel of a giant ship passing by in the darkness.

The first version of "Peggy-O" I ever heard was this one from S&G's first album:

I learned it years ago from an oldtyme recording as "If E'er I Return Pretty Peggy-O". It was either Jim Lloyd or Jack Hinshelwood, possibly both together. I need to look for that.

I do wonder if i'm absorbing the dead into my musical taste and becoming a bit of a dead head later in life. I can hear why you guys love Phil's bass playing and tone. He sure is one cool dude.
Just finished watching this this afternoon. Great concert and superb sound and musicianship. It would have been good, from my point of view, to have the names of the songs appear briefly at the bottom of the screen as I had no idea of what they were so hence can't check out the recorded version. I might just have to look for the blu ray dvd. I'm assuming the guitarist in the above photo is Phil's son? He's a superb player and clearly loves that guitar.
Check the pinned reply on Youtube, it gives the times and song titles. The guitarist in the still is Trey Anastasio, of Phish fame.
He does resemble Phil.

Anybody know who this cat is with the Les Paul Goldtop?
The current issue of
Vintage Guitar has dual interviews with John Sebastian & Arlen Roth, who have just dropped a mostly-acoustic (Why mostly-acoustic? Quoth Mr. Sebastian, "77 year old John can't stand up to 22 year old John") album of Lovin' Spoonful songs; this led me spending most of yesterday in their catalog.
It's probably due to the more-experimental stuff that followed on their heels, but I think it is being forgotten what a fine band, with what a wide range, the Spoonful was - and anyone makes a list of "Great Guitarists" that includes Jimmy Page and/or Slash, but excludes Zal Yanovsky, should be pummeled with an autoharp! He didn't shred, but he did all manner of subtle, amazing things if you listen closely.

I feel that way about the earlier stuff; it still boggles my mind that the same guys who did fluff like "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" did
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Peter
For me, all of the Beatles stuff holds up, except when they oddly covered a Broadway show tune, "Til There Was You" from the Music Man (in which the intro and the Robert Preston's songs were, arguably, the real birth of "rap").

That was what surprised me about it , Dave. I couldn't recall L. Buck playing much of the Danny Kirwan era stuff in the band, much less with the two ladies harmonizing. Lindsey does some interesting wah stuff here; you could tell he'd been woodshedding. I think maybe trying to cover the sonic space formerly occupied by two guitars a little. It was a bit before my time, but I reckon "Tell Me" must have been enough of a bit of a hit for them to need/want to keep it in the set.

There seems to be a wire running from the bridge; I'd assumed that was for the pick-up, and the cushion was to mute the strings betwixt bridge & tailpiece.

Well, it depends on who you ask and who was there, but the shortest version is this; Jerry Douglas wasn't technically "in the band" yet, but was still a member of the Country Gentlemen. Ricky Skaggs (having played with 'Flux' in the Gents) convinced J.D. to bring him on the sessions. The new New South band that emerged from these sessions with the Rounder 0044 project was very short-lived, only one supporting tour. Jerry and Ricky went on to form Boone Creek, Tony went on to form his own act, J.D. and Bobby carried on. It was however, a monumentally important turning point in bluegrass music for a good many of us, my age and younger. Alison has a framed copy of it. Danny claims it inspired him to learn at all.
Here's another little piece of funny bluegrass trivia; the album cover seen here... it was a second one - the original cover had J.D. Crowe flippin' the bird, covertly. Or was he? They are quite collectible now.

"Werewolves..." made me think of John and Mick. Fun tune from the fun days. I always wonder if Warren and Waddy weren't settling a score with somebody on that one. ;D
My YT channel dialed-up this one from couple years before... Fleetwood Mac - 10/17/75:

Very nice version of Promised Land by JT. Jimmy's bass really lays down the swampy beat!
I found this on another forum. Never heard of them before, the Lovell sisters, calling themselves "Larkin Poe", doing a wonderful cover of Steve Miller's Joker.

Lately, I'm finding a bunch of these live Fleetwood Mac recordings. Never heard them before. This is a fantastic cut of
"I'm So Afraid".
I don't think John is playing his Alembic here. Sounds too dirty. Fender Precision I think, turned up real loud. And de-tuned for the low notes.
*The tone may not tickle me, but the bass
playing however, is exhilarating. ;D

A few days ago I noticed that Beato had interviewed Derek. I've watched a number of Beato's interviews, and it being Derek this time, I was figuring this one would be special; and it was. Absolutely wonderful; highly recommended.
Both Sides Now was tremendously moving.

Funny coincidence, I was just listening to Sierra's band covering "Shine" a little bit ago while walking off a really bad day at the Water Factory.
https://youtu.be/7GsJ8MRbTuQ
I know she's a huge fan of Dolly's... I bet that's where she got the idea.
Sierra's verson is very nice! Dolly's version is........Dolly; need I say more?
And a few side notes on Ms. Parton's take:
First, who but Dolly would film themselves walking down a dirt road in KMDAFM pumps? Or could could even manage to walk said byway thusly shod? Pure style, that girl.
And what a band! But the album credits on Wiki only list Stuart Duncan on fiddle; that sure don't look like Stuart in the vid...... And, of course, anything with Jerry Douglas is gonna be great; add Chris Thile, and well, there ya go.
And last but far from least - digging the "TOYLL" reference a bit after 3:00!
Peter
Sarah Watkins on fiddle and brother Sean on acoustic guitar (they came along with Chris Thile). Pretty sure the bass player is another Nickel Creek alumni.
Ah - now I see it; I think it's the first time I've seen Sarah with her hair tied up.
So, the band on the vid is not completely the band on the album. And I repeat, "What a band!"
Peter

I can't attest to who played on the recording, but in the video, the bassist is Barry Bales, of Alison Krauss & Union Station, the banjo player is Jim Mills, of Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder. Of course we recognize Chris Thile, Sara and Sean Watkins of Nickel Creek with Jerry on reso... it surely could be Jim and Barry on their respective instruments. Both of those guys are top tier a-listers in the industry.
*you're not far off Paul, those kids all grew up around Alison. She produced a couple recordings for them and was very much a mentor to the band.

RIP, Jason Moore (bass) and Steve Gulley (lead singer/rhy guit)
Went out t the library tonight to see Crosswinds Flute Choir: 8 players (early teens to late middle age). All had standard C flutes; 1 also mostly played piccolo, 1 occasionally & one usually played alto flute; 1 once & one mostly played bass flute, and one almost always blew contra-bass flute. Quite nice (and, I will be cad enough to add, I had impure thoughts about the regular bass player; lovely young Latina - and good!
Covered music from (shudder) ABBA to the Court of Henry VIII to a new composition just for flute choir.

New - Alan Parsons - From The New World
Got around to listening - surprised at the ending. Alan Parsons is consistent. Well crafted album.
If you look up 'groove' in the dictionary, it's entirely possible you'll see a picture of this:
https://youtu.be/Nbokg0KM-n8
Let's see here: A Stevie Wonder composition, Aretha on vocals and piano, Donny Hathaway on electric piano, Richard Tee on Hammond, Hugh McCracken on electric geetar, and . . . . . the magnificent Bernard Purdie at the kit, with master bassist Chuck Rainey making up the rhythm section. That amazing, floating, almost behind the backbeat feel, this KILLS me every time I hear it. That groove is just beyond words for me.
If it gets any better than this, it would kill me.
Revisiting on old favorite band from the '70s, Oregon. Good quality video and audio of a short live set that really shows off how special this band was at that time.
Ralph Towner - 12-string & classical guitar, piano
Paul McCandless - reeds
Glen Moore - bass
Collin Walcott - tabla, percussion, sitar
Oregon was great, thanks for posting!
Towner was amazing with that group. Saw them in concert once at American International College (AIC) in Springfield Massachusetts as the opening act for Chick Corea and RTF.
I really love this thread... so many exciting discoveries. Oregon is new to me, and I feel a need to dive deeper into their catalog.

I follow Eden and Lukas'
Ozark Banjo Co. pretty close. I love how they post audio/videos of all their banjos before shipping out. Lukas does a nice job with the Stephen Foster classic here.
Little while back, they posted six nearly identical banjos recently completed, and described the details that differentiated each one, then played a sample. Amazing how you can hear the differences.

Sorry - the sound on that version of "Molotov" sucked; it's much better on this one (comes in about 4:15 - but the whole thing's worth the listen):

Regarding Isbell, the YT bots were somewhat determined I needed to see this one the other night:

I thought it was well-done. The highs hurt my ears though.
I'm so much enjoying watching this band get tighter every week. They just tried a brand-new tune out this past week...

Family bands are the best. Lengthy intro on this but I swear his brother Rover sounds just like Jerry Douglas.
I had the joy of hearing both George Porter Jr. with Dumpstahfunk (including two other grooving bassists) and Otiel Burbridge and Friends Sunday here in St. Louis. Going deep into The Meters at present.

I think you err calling Mr. Blake a "Flatpicking Giant", Greg. There are few who can fingerpick at his level, either.........
Peter
That's absolutely a true statement Coz. Pretty fair slide player too, but the larger appeal to the bluegrass crowd has probably been the flatpickin' stuff. For me, it was Blake & Rice Vol. 1. I knew who Tony was, but I was fascinated by this Norman cat. I had to hear more. Changed the course of my guitar-playing life. Even my tastes in the guitars I liked changed.
Bob really nailed his sound on Fiddlers>Whiskey there.

It was a bit over a week ago (home Monday night, but just now getting to the camera), but I had a fine time at Coloma Days listening to a Gold Rush reenactor (excuse me, "living history interpreter" - yes, we historians are a bit snobbish toward that breed) playing old-timey stuff on a homemade fretless banjer with 3 gut (well, probably nylon) strings.
Peter
That's pretty wild... I'll have to ask around about three-string tunings, but I almost bet they are modal, or octaves, and designed to be played like a dulcimer.
Aquila does make a set of true gut strings for banjo, so they may well have been. They are a tuning nightmare in outdoor conditions where the humidity fluctuates though.
I had a fun gig for a season in a living history scene, a civil war era, period social band called the StringTyme Minstrels. I played guitar/mandolin in that one... had to wear a wool suit in July, and be part of a little Henrico County encampment. In the evening we played for a big dance. That was great fun.
He told me he sucked at 5-string, so took up dulcimer; he pondering playing it Spanish-guitar-style & a friend said "That's a cigarbox guitar." So he built one, then built this. He told me the action is so high his fingers hardly ever touch the 'board. Got a nice sound, though.
As to tuning stability, I will now give you the humidity prediction for the week this happened: M- 0% T - 0% W - 0% Th - 0%....you get the idea.
I once had a gig doing a c. 1900 1-room schoolmaster for grade school field trips. It was weird. There's a pic of me somewhere with my ascot, slicked back hair, and handlebar mustache, but I don't know where it is.

You gotta walk and don't look back Peter Tosh, featuring Mick Jagger.

I've always loved Peter Tosh; when the Wailers split he seemed the most hardcore Reggae of them...Bob kinda went pop and some of his stuff I still can't listen to, mainly any song on 'legend'...Mick seems kinda coked up in that video...Tony.

His work on Jeff Beck's Wired album was hugely influential to me. I'm pretty sure that was my gateway to fusion when I was 16 back in 1980.
Wired was a break through album for me also. 😃

Wow - i had to look up her age to be sure; can't believe she's 51. Wasn't just a child yesterday???
Peter (who, of course, still thinks of
Talking Heads '77 as "that new stuff"...........)
Where did the years go? First time I saw Al and met her, was a filthy old dive down on Salem Av. here in Roanoke, called the Iroquois Club. I was 20, she'd have just turned 18. Neither one of us old enough to be in there. Her fledgling band, Union Station was splitting a night with Lonesome River Band, with a very young Dan Tyminski having recently joined them on mandolin. He didn't play guitar yet. Alison had played fiddle on their most recent album though, and that project was on fire. (Carrying The Tradition)
Yeah, 30 years... gone.
But then, it sure seem like 27 years since we lost Jerry, either. And Duane's been gone a few years past past as long as we had him.
Jeez - didn't mean to go dark like that; let's go back to thinking how long we've had to enjoy Alison's angelic voice.

Been on a Norman Blake ride today. Here, he tells the story of Ginseng Sullivan, and plays it through.

Love Norman Blake, long time favorite and truly a national treasure. Bummed I only got to see him play live once back in the late 70s opening for New Grass Revival. He doesn't like flying and subsequently did not tour extensively. I have mangled Ginseng Sullivan many times over the years... :)
For some reason I searched for Sam Bush today on Bandcamp and found that he released a solo album of John Hartford compositions November 11. I bought a digital copy and it was a very enjoyable listen. Sammy plays all the instruments including five-string banjo. Another national treasure who we are lucky to still have out touring. The liner notes for the new Sam Bush release are great, too, excellent synopsis of John Hartford's career, Sam's musings and some classic old pictures included. The entire Smithsonian Folkways catalog is now up on Bandcamp, last release I bought was one of Elizabeth Cotten's.
Love Sam Bush, I will definitely pick up that album! :)

No longer the case for me. Several weeks ago (or more, I've lost track), it started only giving me music videos I had watched before; and often it would limit the number it would give me and then just stop. Oh well, I did and still do have chores awaiting my attention; so there's a positive aspect to the change.

Starless is one of my favorites as well, and this is a wonderful cover.
The cover of King Crimson's Starless that Danno posted is on a tribute album to John Wetton. I looked further and found this cover of Crimson's Fallen Angel on the Wetton tribute, performed by Notturno Concertante.
I've been listening to some of Ed Gerhard's playing recently. The Water Is Wide ...
Such a wealth of music both new and old to discover. My musical partner and I record and co-produce all of our music and it gives me so much respect for the engineers through the ages. How they were able to capture and present all of those brilliant performances with limited technology .
Glad you enjoyed the selections Dave.

Quote from: StephenR on November 20, 2022, 01:01:11 PM... I searched for Sam Bush today on Bandcamp ...
I opened a Bandcamp artist account a long time ago for the purpose of posting demos to link to while searching for a new band situation. Eventually I took the demos down. Only rarely had I searched for other music on Bandcamp, and then with little success; the only real exception being when I purchased the Stanley Lighthead album that our own Hieronymous recorded.
Until I read Stephen's note about searching for Sam Bush on Bandcamp, it never occurred to me that "name" musicians would be selling music on Bandcamp. But then thinking about it for a few seconds, it makes sense; I already knew that Bandcamp pays musicians far more than other sources for plays and downloads.
So the first "name" musician I search for is one that I've been listening to a lot recently, Nick Johnston. I particularly like his album "Remarkably Human". And yes, there's Nick Johnston on Bandcamp. So I create a fan account (as opposed to an artist account) and then purchase and download the album in Flac format.
I did try a second search for a "name" artist, Mike Dawes, whose cover of "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" (which happens to feature Nick Johnston) I really like. Over the last few months or so, I've listened to that song more than any other. And yes, Mike Dawes is on Bandcamp.
So thanks Stephen! I don't know why it didn't occur to me before.
I'll check out the two musicians you listed, David. Just wondering why you download flac, and what can Flac files be played on?

Guy Pratt has had an amazing career. It's interesting to hear him talk about this project.
Hey David. Nice that you were able to find some artists on Bandcamp that you like. I think Bandcamp is a great service, thanks for supporting them and the artists. The artists get as much as 80% of the selling price. During the pandemic they started "Bandcamp Fridays", the artists get 100% of the selling price for anything bought on Fridays.
As much as I like Bandcamp I admit that it can be hard to find stuff. I have gotten better at searching over time. Here is a link to my collection I buy a lot of diverse stuff.
https://bandcamp.com/stephenr2 (https://bandcamp.com/stephenr2)
The two Richard Thompson releases are both excellent. One of my favorite purchases is Trujillo Peru 1971-74, psychedelic cumbia music. Bola Sete's "Samba in Seattle" is also a fantastic new release. The Sun Ra estate has been reissuing fresh transfers of the extensive Sun Ra catalog on Bandcamp. One thing I really like is the labels that let you also download the digital version if you buy an LP.
I will also check out the two artists you mention as I am not familiar with either of them.

Mike Dawes is a highly regarded solo acoustic guitar player. He also does duets and has some recordings and videos with Tommy Emmanuel. He's also recently toured with Justin Hayward (Moody Blues). As mentioned, Slow Dancing in a Burning Room (cover of a John Mayer tune) is the song of his that I listen to; and on that tune Nick Johnston comes in near the end to play electric lead over Mike Dawes acoustic.
Nick Johnston writes and plays what I guess can be called progressive guitar oriented instrumental music. His command of the guitar is wonderful; very tasteful playing mixed with virtuoso type licks. And his compositions are impressive. Remarkably Human is something of a concept album as the songs seem tied together and work really well from beginning to end (there's also a series of videos somewhere on the web where he plays through the entire album in scenes that further tie things together.)
I'm no expert, but in short, and as far as I know, Flac apparently will play on pretty much anything that plays mp3. The quality is considered to be better than mp3 and I suppose kinda equal to wav.
Flac is a form of lossless compression for audio. Generally it is used to reduce storage space or to enable shorter download times. Once you decompress the Flac file you have a full resolution audio file either .wav or .aiff for Macs. Mp3 is lossy compression unlike Flac it throws away what it considers to be redundant bits as it reduces file size, the more you reduce the size the more it degrades the quality of the audio and you can't get it back.
Bandcamp requires full resolution audio files from the artists. You can download any and all formats indefinitely once you buy something.

A diverse collection indeed! Particularly intrigued with the Art Tatum.
And yes, finding stuff looks like it will be a challenge.
There is a lot of classic jazz including the entire Prestige catalog... early Miles Davis etc. The Art Tatum is good, I had never heard him before, that release popped up recently when I checked new jazz releases. Solo renditions of all the old classic jazz tunes. There is a really nice Monk release, too. Just gotta poke around...

His comment about how it used to be that the drummer had to get all the levels right while playing as opposed to now every piece of the kit is separately tracked was interesting as well. Just a fascinating look into what he's learned in his remixing work.
I remember seeing your video before; the use of black and white, shadow and light, and only individual closeups makes it memorable, that and the singer's angst; as soon as I started watching I remembered it.

Back in late '83 or early '84 I had the privilege of doing sound for Tama clinic with Billy Cobham (playing his then-signature 3095-piece Artstar kit) and a New York cat named Dom Famularo ((having since seen a pic of his own set, I'm thinking Billy insisted he play a 5-piece). At one point Billy left the riser, and Dom was demonstrating playing slowly; absolutely metronomic, Then he rested for about 2 1/2 bars - and hit it exactly on the nose when he came back in.
Then they jammed. Gotta tell ya, he blew Cobham well & truly into the weeds.

I was rewatching/listening/trying to play along with some Fleetwood Mac tunes last night, remembering the late Christine McVie, and this one came back.
https://youtu.be/Z5BZzkWXcwc
The Dance was an exciting time for Fleetwood Mac fans, and this was the first new music from the Rumours Era band in 10 years. A few years later, the Say You Will album came out with the track "Bleed To Love Her" included, and by then, Christine had retired from performing and taken to her English country home. It would be another decade before her return.
Listen for the little fill she plays at 1:18.
https://youtu.be/RDJiWlAC9yk
It's in both the live, and studio recordings. That's just one example, one little nugget, that hits like an atomic bomb. She was exactly what that band needed to work correctly.
Sometime play the LP version of "Champagne Jam" at 45 rpm. Then play the 45 of "Edge Of Seventeen" at 33 1/3.
Then ask yourself why you've never seen a picture of Ronnie Hammond & Stevie Nicks together.......

Close up makes it easier to see what she's doing with her right hand in that intro section (and repeated a couple more times in the tune), which is really cool. Also helpful that she painted her nails white to make it easier to follow her left hand fingering. :)

Country music with fiddles and steel guitar. What a concept! Pedal'd whole notes under the verses, dotted under the chorus, PLUS you get to walk the 1-1#-2, the 4-3-3flat-2 changes, etc. Big fun, and a course in how it's supposed to sound. LW is a Texas girl, natch. I was going to say I could eat this with a spoon, but it would go good with a brisket plate . . .
Durnit, Joey. I was just about offa' my LeeAnn kick... until now. Sumthin' about her voice draws me in like a moth to a flame.

96 degrees in the shade by Third World.
And wishful thinking about that kind of weather. :-)
This guy built a guitar out of melted aluminum cans. Pretty impressive feat, but a lot of effort.
Wow. It sounds good!
I felt his pain when the tap snapped.
All hand tools? Didn't even see a drill press... very impressive.
From 1969: CSNY & TJ with a surprisingly hot version. Tom really rocks out!

Greg Reeves looks (and was) really young there.
Who knew? Beck had a soft spot for the Ray Charles tune 'Down in My Own Tears' just like JW. Here he's on Jools Holland's BBC music show playing it as a set piece. Geez am I going to miss him, a one of a kind, a one off, and a hot rod guy. What a damn shame.

Lee Ann is from Waco, and like any natural-born Texan (like me) she was raised on country music from a different planet than 'I Hope You Dance', admittedly a huge commercial hit, a landmark song that she'll sing at every show from now on.
She hated it. She hated what the record company expected from her. So when her contract expired, she walked, and now sings modern and traditional versions of the type of music we grew up on, and we are the better for it. What a woman. This is the kind of thing I think of when I hear the term Americana.
Ms Wilson asked 'what's Americana' and I tell her it's music made by people who sing in pitch (even harmonies!) and play instruments in tune and in time. Imagine such a thing!
What I'm listening to right now is my favorite sound in the whole world: My wife having a good laugh.
She had me from "Buckaroo", back in nineteen-ninety-whatever-it-was when I got into that crazy town. What a voice, and she had somehow cracked the Music Row Code. Like you said though, sometimes you sing/play songs you don't love singing/playing, because of the relationship between your livelihood and the tip-jar or record executives.
LeeAnn is still a treat to listen to. She picks stuff that really works for her. And that band is tops.

Yessir, that's a fine little pocket them boys had to play in there. :)
Still enjoying Ashby Frank's project. The Paintball Gun tune was some nice, welcome comic relief from a really crappy week, but the rest of his latest release is really well done. There's a Tom Paxton (I think) and a Bruce Hornsby. (sure about it)

Just saw the John Patitucci Trio, was fantastic! His recent album, Live from Italy, is great!
Went out to see The County Line Jam Band (yes, that's "County Line" as in "I'm gonna walk you up and down....").
The wife & mother of the two guitarists told me that they have their own PA & soundman, but the venue insisted that they use the house system & "engineer". 19:00 load-in, 21:00 start time, clown shows up at 21:28 (in all fairness to him, his girlfriend came with him, and I can see why he was so late). Only had the vocals in FOH - and still couldn't make them heard.
Drummer was a basic hit-them-as-hard-as-you-can-sans-any-subtlety type. Bass & guitars, however, were quite good. As mentioned above, the guitars are father & son; mom said the lad (on lead) had played sax - 8th-grade jazz band when in 6th grade, etc. - and had no interest in the Dead. Then Dad told him that the 50th Anniversary shows were history, and he was going! On the way out, he said "Yeah, I'm gonna need a guitar." Didn't look old enough to be playing in a bar, but he was really starting to get the feel of it.
But the bummer of the night (besides the "soundman", and the gummy I recalled I had in the drawer turning out to be too old to do much) was the discovery that a loud electric band & my new hearing aids are not a good match. Curses, foiled again! That really harshes my mellow; I mean it was bad enough being forced to acknowledge that even in my delusional fantasy world I'll never be anyone's soundman again, but can't take a full set of a band?!?. As my dad has always said, "The whole world's turning to horse manure!"

The sidebar is quite the rabbit hole! Love that song, and I get to sing it at every Who's Who gig. I also sing all the Pete stuff, which can be a challenge sometimes. I had to pawn off Going Mobile on our lead vocalist, though I'm taking the two "bridge" parts ("Out in the woods..." and "I don't care about pollution..."). In return, I have to sing Young Man Blues. ;)

I will add that when he would cry all night, I would hit the bong a few times, go get him out of his room, hang the cans around my neck so he & I could hear it but Mom & brothers couldn't, and dance him to sleep to Reckoning.

This has been on my musical Event Horizon from the first time I heard it in 1971, and I go back to it from time to time. For me, it's like watching a movie, all the pictures it suggests in my mind. The original lineup, and Berry Oakley recorded his 'Tractor' modified Jazz Bass through the then-new Fender PS400 monster tube amp, the full setup with the 3 folded horn cabinets. If you can find the Tom Dowd remix, it's the best.
Live at Fillmore East has always loomed over me like the plynth in 2001.
In Gregg's autobiography, he said they were all in a foul mood the day of that photo shoot, and the shots all showed it.
Then Duane saw his dealer walking across the street; while the photog messed with a setting, he ran over, scored, ran back, and got into postion just as the shutter clicked. His hand is closed around a bag of smack. That's why they were all laughing.
And yeah - one of the all-time great live albums (or albums, period).

I always look forward to a new project from Alison Brown. This one just took off a couple weeks ago, some nice stuff on YT alreafy. This collaboration with Steve Martin is fun. https://youtu.be/lFMX4t4FHsc

These were nice; I especially liked the overall sound of the one with Steve Martin (except the fiddle seemed to be too far down in the mix).
Youtube sidebar stuff - a bunch of '70s bands so obscure I'd never heard of them Well, except Yancy Derringer. They played at Shimer College in fall of'75, and as House Manager for the Karen Kupcinet Playhouse, it was my job to help them set up, patch A/C into the outlets in such a way that the dimmers on the light board didn't make them hum at about 7000 dB, etc. They gave me their album, but it was lost (along with all the rest) in The Flood Of '96.
These are all complete albums; I have not listened to the whole thing on any of them (well, except YD - but them not since probably '80 or so). I found the quality to be varied act to act - but it was cool listening to something that sounds so very '70s that's new to me. I'll be giving each of them a concentrated listen at some point in the not too distant future.
Let me know what you think:

This little jumping tune just makes me smile with the simple walking lines, a reasonable tempo, and the horn hooks. Who knew?

Remind me to tell you my Don Williams story sometime, Joey. ;)
A friend of mine pitched me a link to this cool little fiddle tune, and asked for an explanation... I'd love to say I had one. Our surname is very specific, so this can't be a complete coincidence. I'll guess it originates from Western North Carolina, where most of us are, a few play music. Stylistically, it sounds more like Southern West Virginia to me...

I got the story of my namesake fiddle tune. During the pandemic, fiddler Sami Braman came across some recordings of a little-known fiddler named Queen Belle Honeycutt Randolph from Yancey County, North Carolina. We are most certainly related, the only question is how directly. It's most likely given her age, she was a younger cousin to my great-grandfather. She may even have been born into the next generation. (1904-2000) Talk about a small world!
Anyway, I got a nice reply back from Sami, explaining her original tune "Honeycutt" was inspired by Queen Belle, and Sami's band The Onlies had actually tracked a pair of Queen Belle Honeycutt Randolph's compositions as well. I'm ordering a copy.
Quote from: edwardofhuncote on May 29, 2023, 03:21:52 PM... I got a nice reply back from Sami ...
I noticed the recording was produced by Brittany Haas.
Yep, saw that too, Dave. She played on a couple cuts as well.
Here was a pretty cool musical moment caught at the Country Music Hall of Fame... Alison Brown joins the Earls of Leicester to induct Earl Scruggs' storied Gibson RB-Granada banjo to the museum. They brought out Lester Flatt's Martin D-28, Curly Seckler's Gibson mandolin (an F-4 I think) Josh Graves' Dobro, and Paul Warren's fiddle to perform with, almost the full Foggy Mountain Boys complement of instruments. (I reckon they can't find Cousin Jake Tullock's Kay bass... c'mon?!)
Anyways... pretty cool for Alison, and the Earls here.

I came up playing tunes like this in Texas. You best not show up without 'The Chair', 'All My Exes', and a half-dozen other George Strait tunes. I remember the big dance halls with the wooden dance floors the size of a parking spot for two 18-wheelers, full of cowboys and work-hard-for-a-living guys and their girls, all 'dancing backward in a circle', two steppin' or slow dancing to tunes just like this. Work in 'Orange blossom Special', 'Steel Guitar Rag, maybe 'Long Black Veil' if you need to slow them down. A little Bob Wills went a long way, call out 'Roly Poly' or 'San Antonio Rose' or 'Deep Water', it's on. Lone Stars and brisket sandwiches or fajitas. Good Times, and I loved playing this textbook traditional country like this one. Everybody can't be a Texan, but you'll get over it.
But then, ya got to eat afterwards. See Cowboy Kent Rollins, a real chuckwagon cook. THIS is the REAL thing.

Philip Glass, Yo-Yo Ma - Naqoyqatsi
I don't know anything about the movie. For a long time now I have from time to time been drawn in by the music of Philip Glass, and this one is just as alluring. And Yo-Yo Ma is, well, Yo-Yo Ma.
My son introduced me to Phillip via Metamorphosis. I find his pieces relaxing. And Yo-Yo is a beautiful human as well as a talented musician. That piece was slightly haunting... in a good way.

"Sweet Sixteenths" from the recent full-length "On Banjo" production.
*not sure what the story is on this old Gibson F-5 is Sierra's playing... loaner Loar maybe? If she has one, I didn't know.
Ms. Brown & Ms. Hull can pick a little.
And if Sierra doesn't have an old F-5, she should!
Peter (who will go so far as to wish her a Loar-signed one)
You know a gear-geek like me had to know... Sierra's Gibson is a David Harvey-signed F-5 Master Model, the modern-day version of the fabled Loar. The Charlie Derrington-signed ones from a few years ago are quite prized already, and I've not heard ill-spoken of the Harveys either.
I thought she was still playing a Collings. I reckon she wore it out!

Steely Dan - The Second Arrangement
I'm posting this primarily for the historical significance. Briefly, this is a song that was recorded for the Gaucho album. The original was accidentally erased, and when the band tried to record it again they were unhappy with the results; thus the song never made the album. However, the engineer on the session had taken a cassette copy of the track home with him.
Decades later, after the engineer's death, his family found the cassette, kept it safe and unplayed, and eventually took it to a studio to be restored. Longer story shorter, this is the eventual result; and comments suggest that Steely Dan fans are quite happy with the recovered tune.

First time I heard this song there were 6 of us in a cabin in the Northwoods - dosed some shrooms and just grooving on life. This is a remote, no electricity, no running water, out-house tucked back in the woods and a beautiful lake right out back. Only 3 cabins on the east side, tucked in the middle of the Chequamegon forest. Isolated surrounded by nature, great place to trip....
Anyhow - listening to this whole album on a battery powered boom box - the ending of the song went on and on and on. It's the last song on the disc, after it finished it felt like there was a half hour of silence before a collective ( and quiet) "whoa" was emitted from the group.
Followed by laughter and tears rolling down the cheeks, then we probably went outside and wandered in the forest.
- reminiscing on that event brings a melancholy mood, life seemed simpler and the world was less messed up back then.

In the early 80's, my band rehearsed in the same studio they did; each week, they were coming in as we were leaving. I don't think they ever said a word to us. Their first album was recorded in that same studio in Chapel Hill (Carrboro actually).

No figure-8 last night (they do it sometimes), but there was a demolition derby. But my favorite: The plywood race; they have to drive while using their left hand to hold a full 4X8 sheet of 3/4" plywood on the roof.
They also have what they call "one-on-one drag races", even though it's 1 lap, not a quarter-mile. There was (among a few others) a Mustang, a Camero, a Buick hearse, and some '70s GM product with a fancy paint job, lots of chrome, lights in the (hoodless) engine compartment, and a freakin'
super-charger.The winner? A Hyundai Accent.

SCOTS is HUGE around here. Or was at least. I actually met Mary Huff at the Fret Mill one time... I was in there when she came in, and I kept thinking; dadgummit, that girl is so familiar, I know she plays bass but who is she?! Anyway, it didn't take long to figure it out, they were playing across the street in about an hour. And she ended up buying a bass, an old 70's Gibson EB-something.
The plywood race sounds awesome!

It's been interesting watching how he's (or rather, his publicist) has been promoting this new album. About every other thing they put out is a very well-produced live take from somewhere on the road. And usually, a day or two before they will blast out a short teaser. I guess it's pretty smart, I've just never seen it happen quite like this in 'mainstream' bluegrass music.

I listened to this entire concert over the course of an afternoon... I really hadn't tuned-in and paid attention to Bela's new project, but it is truly remarkable. And not to sell his supporting band short either; there's not too many musicians on the planet you can call up for this kind of gig, and he has them all on speed-dial... these folks are the A-list of acoustic music. Some of it is heavy-listening, very little of it is jam-able, all of it is incredibly well-performed.

Sometimes Dead tunes hit me at just the right time and place, with just the right delivery. I've heard her, and several other folks cover that one many times, but I was walking up the road the other evening when I 'heard' Black Muddy River different.

Brats, beer, and blues-rock; the Chaz DiPaolo Band last night at The Well, Conifer, CO (with a "Deadhead Parking Only" sign by the front door!)
Standard power trio, influences seemed about 50/50 '70s UK & '80s Texas. They didn't suck, but they were......pedestrian. Nothing I hadn't heard before (and done better), but nothing I really minded hearing again outside over a beer on a lovely evening, ya know?
Bassist played a Bass VI; first time I've seen one in action. Drummer had a 4-piece kit with every drum a different color.
I did see one thing thta new to me. Chaz had the back cover off his Strat, and twice flipped it over and either (I couldn't tell which from the view I had) played with just his fretting hand or used a looper, while making like he was playing the springs for the whammy bar.

I've been 'following' her band on YouTube since the formation Coz, hers, and a couple others. It's probably the closest thing I come to social media. Sierra's kinda' been like watching a kid sister grow up for a bunch of us. I think she's absolutely brilliant, and got enough work ethic for five people, but still got enough personality to connect with folks everywhere, cross-genre'. I don't think the bigger stages have messed up the feel of jam-in-a-circle template she's used to.
The other night, the band opened for Lyle Lovett down in Austin... Leland Sklar posted their opening set on his channel. I think Lee likes 'em too. :)
https://youtu.be/ob7O4JpRKTI?si=QFH1--2YcKrZXXGR
But is there another mandolinist of her caliber (or at least close) & her generation?
Peter
She has a couple students with enormous potential. But beyond that, every time a Bill, or a Jethro, or a Grisman, or a Sam, or a Chris and a Sierra comes along that bar gets raised. Sierra will tell you, Adam Steffey (formerly of AK&US) was one of her main role models. She is planting the next crop. Hard to say who will take it from there, but there will be another.
Here is one of her star pupils, Wyatt Ellis.
https://youtu.be/9TgNSPKCsX8?si=F6_o0ARU3JNmenhr
It's a continuum. In much the same way she's put Wyatt in the hot seat to perform there, here she was, filling in on mandolin with Alison, many years before. https://youtu.be/4GU5hWdaQfY?si=owfon_1hw7fIr4-l

The Forno book starts with some stuff about Levon's roots, but really focuses on the years 1986, when Richard Manuel died, through 1994, when the Band were inducted into the R'nR HOF. Forno grew up in Woodstock. His family knew the Band from their earliest days at Big Pink.
The Tooze book is excellent, too. It spends a lot of time explaining the music, what the instruments are doing, and especially at lot of breaking down the drum parts Levon uses on many songs. I imagine most of it would go over the head of the average reader. A bunch of the drum stuff was over my head but, as a musician, I really enjoyed the depth to which it goes into how each song is put together. I suspect most musicians would feel the same. Highly recommended!

*Fiddler, Maddie Denton here, also from Murfreesboro, Tennessee... home of Dave Macon.

That was nice.
But I hope it doesn't make me a bad person that I'm glad the fiddler didn't wear one of those tan suits.........

Couple more from East Nash Grass, including the title cut from the new record; "Last Chance To Win-
A fun little ragtime thing Maddie says Harry found on a piano roll-
East Nash Grass, like thousands of bands around the country, especially in Nashville, has a hometown regular gig. Theirs is a roadhouse called
Dee's Cocktail Lounge in Madison, Tennessee a suburb of Nashville not far from where I lived down there. It's a regular Monday evening gig for them when not on the road, and they livestream it. Here was last weeks' show- https://www.youtube.com/live/Iss0kpGaALk?si=hMvUQGfsPZu7VYX_ (https://www.youtube.com/live/Iss0kpGaALk?si=hMvUQGfsPZu7VYX_)
You never know who might show up, or who might be subbing-in. Here was one from July, when they were outside on the patio- https://www.youtube.com/live/6BT--Y_MgBg?si=fWHusSE4ttUOzPJe (https://www.youtube.com/live/6BT--Y_MgBg?si=fWHusSE4ttUOzPJe)
*I'm guessing Maddie does her own wardrobe Coz... I don't know her at all, but what I do know of most east-central Tennessee girls is they can take a polite compliment. All kidding aside, she seems super-nice, and extremely talented. She has a very 'heads-up/constantly aware of what's happening' stage presence. I listened to this interview with her the other day. Quite possibly the worst interviewer ever. Maddie should have interviewed herself-
Stanley and John McLaughlin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xObLeTp5--g

https://youtu.be/aWVsU2K-Kuo?si=q4Aal6ngcQcm298T
That's some serious mando action! I recently picked up an electric mandola, and it's a blast. I use it in more of a guitar way, but the 5ths tuning takes away all your familiar fingerings, etc., so that sparks new ideas. I can barely pick it up without spontaneously coming up with a new riff or song idea. Kinda funny cause I've always said the same thing abut my 8 string bass. Something about those double courses... My next adventure will be a 12 string guitar/mandocello hybrid. Mandocello low strings - cC gG DD AA, with the top two tuned to regular guitar BB EE. I tuned my 6 string like this for a few years back in the 90s and really liked it.

Reminds of a string ad in
Guitar Player some decades past; forget the company, but the endorser was Tommy Tedesco, who it said "plays 33 different stringed instruments*
*All guitar tuned"
Which made me think "He plays 33 shapes of guitar, not 33 instruments".

Justin wrote this little instrumental a few seasons back called "She's Crazy", Sierra picked up the mandocello and went to work on him with it.

East Nash Grass is much like a musical hometown sports team you root for. They are on the road this week, in my old stomping grounds of Raleigh, N.C. at IBMA's World of Bluegrass FanFest. Somebody posted this one of James and the Boys & Girl in one of the hospitality suites hosting a jam, and Maddie showing off those take-no-prisoners fiddle contest skills.
This one from their new CD comes with a geography lesson. Joey, and Will Gunn know this one well. Madison, Tennessee is a suburb on the northeast corner of Nashville, and one of the main drags through there is Due West Avenue. Due West is a very good alternate route to know about if I-65 is jacked-up. I would often jump off on E. Due West at Madison and hit 31-E up to Hendersonville. Their tune is a true story, about someone they see every week, same spot.
East Nash Grass at Pickin' In The Pines Festival, Flagstaff AZ. A mighty looooong way from Nashville TN.
Pretty sure it's the Dylan-inspired lyrics Harry pulls from on "Moonshiner" here-
*James' guitar solo at 1:25 is uh-mazing. If I had two lifetimes...
And "Mountain Bluebird" is an original from within the band-

When he was in college, my youngest played most of the lead guitar for the Diving Ducks (as in "If the river was whiskey and I was a...."); they did "Moonshiner".
I was always pretty proud of his playing with them - but no, he

THIS is James Jamerson, with the great Benny Benjamin on drums with the rest of the Funk Brothers. That bubbling, wrap around chart he's playing (of course he played this off the top of his head as it went down) would sound Way Too Busy from anyone else, but he pulls the whole recording along with him. My favorite version of 'Grapevine', way more can't-sit-still than Marvin's cool, elegant version, and in another universe from Creedence's uber-square take on it.
For a skinny white kid growing up in an oil town in East Texas, this was where I looked in the dictionary under funky.
I have always hated that the guidance counselor at my high school was so st on steering me into teaching English or going to law school or some such that she never once mentioned that "Pip" was a career path.........

A discussion on Talkbass made me think about Fleetwood Mac's "Tango In The Night" album. I couldn't sleep last night, and it had been a while, so I gave that one a spin. Tango started out as a L. Buckingham solo project, and ended up in his (first) departure from Fleetwood Mac before the supporting tour. Stevie Nicks reportedly spent two weeks on it, sending demos and ideas instead. She was touring in support of her own "Rock A Little" record at the time. The band was already fractured. The record still produced hits. I was a senior in high school that year.
The discussion, FWIW, was about John's Kramer Ferrington bass, as seen on Little Lies, and Seven Wonders vids. That was auctioned recently, along with two of his Alembics, and a few other basses.
Anyway... Tango In The Night. It will not help you sleep. Especially not the title cut-

Glad you enjoyed the "Hey Joe", Paul.
At the first college i attended, the Student Government's Quality Of Life Committee would put on monthly "bops"; put together the best stereo we could (from a small - ~175 - student body, but all hippies and most - not I, alas - with trust funds), get a quart of Everclear for the 5 gallons of punch, 3 kegs of beer, and boogie all night.
I would invariably make sure that got put on at some point; granted some of my schoolmates groaned, but most just danced - all 12:58 of it! (Yes, there is some chance that controlled substances were involved......)

Lari Basilio - Running To The Other Side
I've always enjoyed LIVE FROM DARYL'S HOUSE. Thought it so rare he'd bring in so many different artists to play both his songs and theirs as well. After a several years' hiatus, he's resumed filming again, and I ran across this episode with Robert Fripp, who, it turns out is a very old and dear friend.
I've been a casual Fripp fan over the years, the occasional forays into the English prog version of Crimson, and the later reformed version with Tony Franklin and Adrian Belew. So here, they do some of Fripp's catalog ( . . . . somehow skipping over '
Elephant Talk' . . . . ) and I heard this, '
The Farther Away I Am', simply Daryl on a real Yamaha grand and Fripp spinning these ethreal phrases and pads over it. I find this hauntingly beautiful.
Also interesting is the first part of this where he speaks of his seminal work on Bowie's 'HEROES'.

I really appreciate Mr. Pauldo's rather encouraging comment about hearing and getting "hipped" as it were, to music you might not have heard before !!
And big thanks as well to Mr. David Houck !
Back in September, we also lost keyboardist/composer/song writer, Gary Wright :'( best known for his 1976 hit song "Dream Weaver"!
Here he is in 1972 with his band " Wonderwheel", kind of a Crosby Stills and Nash "esque" song called "Creation", with some good harmonies!
It's actually a good album if you want to deep dive a bit , it's called "Ring Of Changes" !

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.

Almost posted this in the new humor thread.
We are allowed to listen to music at work via earbuds/ headphones. A co-worker in his mid 20's (a kid?) asked me for a recommendation for something to listen to. Earlier conversations reveal that his mom has good taste in music and hence has influenced him.
I suggested the What If album from Dixie Dregs.
This was his favorite song... he absolutely loved the jaw harp. 😆
Great album, Paul! :)
Havin' Fun :)

I'm about halfway through this recent interview with Tal Wilkenfeld.She gets a little deep into the weeds philosophically, (for me at least) but I get where she's coming from on the need for focus. The interview itself is well-done; no bs-fluff questions so far. She is a very interesting player, who literally has been there and done that at a pretty young age. (She's late-30-something now...)

Like I was saying on another post, my Pops and little Sister went to see the Dan Tyminski Band here in town last weekend, and they got me an autographed CD during the set break.
There's one on here; "Silence in the Brandy" written by Dan... (another of the many reasons I like to have hard copies of music - LINER NOTES!) it's a bluegrass song that deals with the unusual subject matter for the genre of PTSD. Dan takes a look at it through the eyes of a WWII vet.

A favorite bass line/ song.
P.S. the Andwella is very nice.
Thanks Paul !
Didn't he use a Hagstrom on the album and then he had the Becvar built?
Here's a quick clip of part of that song on my 8 string Ric that I threw together after work one day for someone on Facebook that wanted to hear it.

Sierra Hull's band has original Flecktone, Jeff Coffin guest on "Stomping Ground" the other night in Nashville.
I'd never heard of Mr. Coffin, so I looked him up; not an original (as I thought, those were Fleck, Levy, and the Wooten brothers). Coffin joined when Levy left '97, and left in '10 (Levy returned in '11).
But quite good, it turns out - as one would expect from someone sitting in with Sierra; thanks for hipping me to him!

Weather Report 125th Street Congress (From, Sweetnighter).
I love the bass line and the use of space on this track. I remember the first time I heard it and it really didn't sound anything at all like it was Miroslav Vitous the Czech bassist who was an original WR member. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was Andrew White (who not only played with jazz greats McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones but Stevie Wonder) who added the funk to this number, Boggie Woogie Waltz and several other tracks.
Stumbled upon this.

Apparently, Elton John and Bernie Taupin were just recently awarded the Gershwin prize; and the award show was just recently shown on PBS. I didn't see, or know about, the broadcast, but this excerpt came to my attention today. I remember playing this tune in a short-lived band in the early 80's; it was a lot of fun to play. And the band here is having a lot of fun; as are Elton and Bernie.
Elton John's Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding performed by Metallica.
Debut performance at Grand Ole Opry for East Nash Grass, playing Uncle Dave Macon's "

Peter
1). Band-Maid!! Five Japanese women who dress in stylized maid outfits and write and play the best rock music I've heard in at least thirty years. If you're not familiar with them, hop on YouTube and look up the killer set they played at last year's Lolapalooza.
2) Lovebites -- five other Japanese women who dress in elegant white outfits and play power metal. I'm not knowledgeable about metal but YouTube reactors frequently compare them, favorably, with Iron Maiden. Lovebites writes terrific songs and has a jaw-dropping level of virtuosity and a hugely accomplished, non-shrieky singer. Lots of stuff available on YouTube. "Holy War" is a good starter.
3) Nightwish -- this band's been around since the 90's, but unfortunately I didn't discover them until recently. Great, great music, apparently classed as "symphonic metal". Lots on YouTube.
Thanks for the Candyman! And yeah, I know those guys from somewhere.

I have had Pandora on the Fred Eaglesmith channel for the last 5 hours.
I have heard 4 songs by Fred.
I'm confused......
Oh, well - I haven't heard a bad song, anyway.

Found a channel that plays Carol Burnett shows back to back. The bass line on the closing credits moves nicely. No idea who gets the low end credit.

Peter, thanks for the Chuck info, he got around.

I experienced this show live !
Scarlett Begonias — Ending with Jerry playing the riff , Phil plays counterpoint in syncopation with the percussion . No unison playing __I LOVE this ! Donna does her thing !
Scarlett Begonias / Scarlett -Fire . Phil gets wild with Glissandos ! Jerry plays the ending riff and Phil plays a contrapuntal complementary bass line other then what Jerry plays . This is great !!! With Donna singing . This is a jam band in full gear _________Dead style . everyone shines and provides space for creative content . No unison playing _____

Cool. I saw them open for the Stones at Rich Stadium in 1975 (With my dad, sister and brother. I was 11 about to go into middle school) and a couple more times after that. Maybe opening for ZZ Top and once as the headliners.
That 3-pickup Les Paul Custom ain't no slouch. Well... it would probably make you slouch with it over your shoulder after a while, but it sounds purty good!

AN EVENING WITH DAN HEALY ,with whom I am Face Book friends with .
https://youtu.be/CMKpIbChH_Y
Southern blue-eyed soul, the Box Tops' "Soul Deep". Recorded at Ardent Memphis, produced by the great bassist Tommy Cogbill and Chips Moman, also playing on this with the late session great Reggie Young on guitar, who's curiously panned hard-right in these days when the move from Mono to Stereo was still a work in progress. Cogbill was a great multi-instrumentalist (like Carol Kaye, easily at home on guitar or bass), and is on lots of Muscle Shoals, Memphis, and Nashville sides, where late in life he was a great mentor to the then-new-kid-in-town, the late Michael Rhodes. Cogbill is actually the bass on Booker T's "Green Onions" before they brought in Cropper's boyhood friend, the late Duck Dunn.
I grew up on stuff like this.
The intro on this is gold.

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 did, indeed, find that interesting! And I like this guy. No, I wasn't working at the same level - but a lot of what he's doing in arenas is the same thing I was doing in clubs. OK, he thinks there are times that a compressor is OK, and I don't, and we don't have the same mic preferences, but basic philosophy? We're pretty darn close.
Analog only. Give the crowd what the talent's putting out, just loud (I did like to work the Space Echo & reverb on the sax for "Harlem Nocturne", though). Cut the painful stuff. And cut it on a graphic EQ.
Always mono! (His reasoning for that is word-for-word what I've said countless times.) Vocals
must be heard!
Again - I
like this guy. Thanks, Dave!

East Nash Grass again this year has been exciting. They have gotten busy enough on the festival circuit to have to let the regular Monday night gig at Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge go... but that's the trade-off of success.
Looks like they are trying out a few different tunes in their set. Here's a funny one I learned from the Lost & Found years ago-
And a Dylan tune the Country Gentlemen made safe for Bluegrass crowds...

Ran across this from 2019 with my old friend, steel master Doug Jernigan, blowing down the old Bob Wills classic 'Roly Poly' with Carl Jackson and friends at Nashville's Station Inn. The Station is kind of like a Nashville Baked Potato, you often see big gun players letting their hair down there. Doug has had a session career, publishes his own Steel Guitar method(s) at www,digndoug.com, and has a zillion live dates under his belt.
https://youtu.be/U4x8PF9eJLA
Pedal steel is a beast. Fretless, no tempered tuning, and all those moving parts. Doug's axes run 8 pedals, four knee side levers, and four lifts, each of these puling an individual string sharp or flat, and oh yeah, you've got two necks tuned differently. I get a headache thinking about it. Here's the tuning chart for each 10-string neck:
Low to high, E9 neck (the back, closest to you neck):
B-D-E-F#-G#-B-B=E-G#-D#-F#
Then the front, the C7 neck:
C-F-A-C-E-G-A-C-E-G
I just love an instrument where the open tuning sounds like an eye chart.
Just stupid-good. 8)
Glad to see the Station Inn is still a hub. The Bluebird Cafe was too back in my day, and closer to me up in Hendersonville was the Bell Cove. Larry Cordle often held Court in that joint. The thing about Nashville; you just never knew who might be lurking in the corner booth at your Monday night open mike.

Years back I saw an instruction book advertised in
Guitar Player aimed at those who wanted to get a different tonality without retuning one of those beasts: It was called
Music To Get C6 By.
It boggles my mind that anyone can actually drive one of those beasts!
Peter
Doug is a hero. I spend a lot of time with Steelers most years at the Texas Steel Guitar Association jamboree in Dallas, where Doug is most highly regarded and missed when he's not there.
Concur. An over thinker would melt down trying to understand all of the different tonal shifts on that instrument.!
If you're interested in how deep and complicated steel can get, give a listen to Susan Alcorn. Brings the steel to free jazz and world music. She's the real deal, a genius, but it's not for the faint of heart.

Another one, same show I think, with a little better look at Marmaduke's Alembic-
Sierra Hull and Wyatt Ellis (one of her former students...) on a Bill Monroe classic... octave mandolin/mandolin duo.
From the Prince's Trust Night in 1989, Mark King and Level 42, 'Lessons in Love'. What a huge groove, and I love the chord voicings and changes. I can play this with a pick (while being reminded I should have paid more attention to those pesky arpeggio exercises . . . ), but I'm USELESS at thumb slapping.
https://youtu.be/QoIw0Q5oEyI
I went to see Mark King perform in Level 42 on two occasions . At one that I attended they opened for Tina Turner.
Such great shows ! I am not good at thumb slapping either however I do have a technique up my sleeve inclusive of my thumb and three fingers whilst muting with my palm. I love Mark King's clean slap style .

Who played bass on this? Great tone:
https://youtu.be/Sd5ZLJWQmss?si=2MViIneRW6Z9G_y1
A quick Google points to a guy named Brian Sampson - but the link that person put up to support the argument is dead.
Peter (who never noticed the bass part because the song was so bad - and won't check it out now for the same reason)
OK, I have an admission to make. Although the linked "movie" version above is a rerecording, I actually played on the original release of this awful novelty song. So I might be the reason the bass part (mostly under the CB radio chatter) has some active moments. ;D Drummer Bill Berg and I occasionally travelled from Minneapolis to Omaha and St. Louis in the mid-70's to work for a jingle company and this was one of the sessions we played on. Usually 3-songs in 3-hours so we probably made about $30 each on it and figured we'd never have to hear it again. But no. Pop music can be fickle! Eventually they sent me a framed Platinum Single (!!) but I couldn't decide if I was happy or just embarrassed.
Don't tell anybody ok?
Jimmy J
...ahem....Just went to the link. Well....just had flashback to the early 70's....my dad was a truck driver and was consumed by CB radio and that tune!....there was another one....Wolf Creek Pass....my dad drove for a meat packing company (Hygrade - Ball Park Franks) so his "handle" was Butcher Boy. One particular memory was coming in to the kitchen to find him with a putty knife trying to get his CB off the kitchen table....a new wonder glue had just come on the market....Crazy Glue! Mom had to buy table cloths after that.... Crazy Glue "don't give up that easily!" Dad also didn't know about finger nail polish remover. Thank you JJ for your admission of guilt! ;D

Aaron Copland: Suite from Appalachian Spring / Canada's National Arts Centre Orchestra
Wonderful performance, great sound quality (lots of mics in the orchestra), nice camera shots; and when they get to Simple Gifts it's quite moving.
"Simple Gifts" was/is one of those pivotal musical benchmarks in life. I decided to take up the cello because of it. It remains one of the few recognizable pieces I can play on the blamed thing...
Thank you for sharing, Jimmy.
Your courage in admitting your problem makes it easier to deal with the guilt and shame of having spent the 1st quarter of 1980 doing sound, pyro, and follow-spot for "Holidaze, Featuring Doc & Linda Holiday", playing 6 sets a night, 6 nights a week on the Midwest hotel lounge circuit; Fri & Sat the 5th & 6th sets being a "Las Vegas-Style Floor Show" (meaning Doc wore a chartreuse-and-orange sequined jumpsuit & Linda wore a matching do-me dress, and did the pyro-and-spot part of the job)..... Yeah, it was a crappy gig - but it was a gig.

I hadn't heard this before. To me, her voice sounds better here than on any of the previous recordings that I've heard. Very nice.
I haven't played that CD much since Chris died... but I put it on yesterday evening just to noodle along with John's bass parts and unwind. She really sounded great.
It's unfortunate if what I believe is true, but I have wondered for several years if the release of that album was the final undoing of Fleetwood Mac. The absence of Stevie Nicks, in the stark presence of the other four links of The Chain. What happened afterward was not the happy ending I was waiting for. Oh, well indeed.
It's still a good record.
This time of year, we start kicking around ideas for the upcoming Old Fiddlers Convention in Galax, Virginia next month. Everybody has favorites, but Brian and I just let Caleb and Jess pick what feels best. It's really all about that envelope that they play in... I swear they have this freakish ability to hear and interpret melody and rhythm the same on their instruments...the result is that Caleb's fiddle part comes out sounding like there is a percussive quality...because there is. Jess' banjo notes line up so perfectly with them that it creates that illusion. Brian and I just put the chords and roots under them.
Today's suggestions are Belle of Lexington-

Uh oh. That's really close. When I went to S.U.N.Y. Purchase I heard a rumour that our teacher James McElwaine played on The Barney Miller soundtrack.
Wow Jimmy! I just learned something new 50 years later. Looks like Andy Muson played Bass on James' tune. Of course, you have more knowledge of the sausage-making that is session recording ..... Recorded Jan - Apr 1974. James is credited as composer of that tune. Barney Miller debuted Jan 23, 1975. Jack Elliott and Allyn Ferguson are taking credit for the tune and they stated bassist Chuck Berghofer improvised that riff.

I Love this place! Where else can you learn all this stuff AND have the Best members.
And then "... Chuck Berghofer improvised that riff... " begs to question why HE wasn't also given composer credit. Even though in the end it looks like it was JT... James never pursued it to the best of my knowledge.

A quick side story, sorry to hijack... I haven't done a lot of film score work but was lucky enough to play a few times for Randy Newman, "Meet the Fockers" being one. During that session there was a scene where they needed a bit of incidental music - maybe like they were in a bar and this was playing in the background, so somewhat removed from the actual score. Randy just asked us to ad lib a quick blues with drums, bass, guitar and violin - if I remember correctly. But because HE is such a great guy, he gave us musicians composer credit for that "cue". To this day we all get composer residuals for that little piece of music. Now THAT is how to treat your fellow musos!
Jimmy J
Another hijacking.... Herb Alpert was recording his first album with his own money....ie. house mortgage. Little did he know how well it would sell. First thing he did was go back and pay the session musicians "scale" for their work....another classy guy. (I read this somewhere and posted it on a FB page and the man himself confirmed it.)
Since we are veering, I recall my father had Herb Alpert's - Whipped Cream and Other Delights album. The cover of that was inspiring. The music is solid and brought me joy about 5 years back when the jazz band I was in played a Herb medley.
My take away from Sanford and Son was Toots, he was blowing that harmonica! His discography is as long as my leg. In the same class as Miles Davis, you hear his tone and you immediately know who it is.
From 2019, Chaka Khan and Band, CHAKA KAHN: HOMECOMING, filmed in her hometown of Chicago. I believe that this was originally a PBS air.
https://youtu.be/U2Gnd_b99zQ
This is one of those shows filmed on exactly the right day. She's in very good voice (she occasionally runs away with herself vocalizing, but not here), the backup singers are exceptional, and the band is as tight as piston rings. Listen for Mr. Davis' solo turn on his Smith Seven right around the 40-minute mark.
I'm a hopless CK fanboy, but the band is so tight I almost forget about her in spots, and those three ladies singing with her are hired killers.
Love me some Randy Newman!

Especially nice up in the shop this morning. How in the world do these jazz cats ever anticipate what, or where for that matter, the root is?! I can only 'hear' it well enough to tell it isn't nearly as random as it sounds.

I just googled "barangrill changes", and up popped all kinds of guitar tabs with the changes written out, and non-root bass notes written under the chord symbols. Other than that, they will have "big ears" from years of practice and experience.

I've been watching some of their live collaborative shows. Very interesting fusion.
Here's one... it's kind of a string quintet vibe. But Nordic Folk crossed up with Appalachia.
It's got a bass solo! 😀
I've heard of Brittany from Live From Here. This is a pleasant tune.
So grateful for this thread. Pretty sure it was Edwin that brought Lara Rosseel to attention here.
Her compositions and work with her quintet are incredible.
This is a solo bass piece from Hert. It is a live recording, no over dubs just a loop pedal, an artist and her instrument.

Watching some older video of AK&US. With most of the attention focused on her singing, it's easy to forget Alison is a formidable instrumentalist as well... a world-class fiddler.
Sierra Hull's band, at FloydFest night before last. Just a couple miles from here. The tune is "Bombshell", an older original of hers.
Just taking a moment to note the generational gap between those two bands... and realize I watched the genesis of both. :P

I searched myself and the keyword for curiosity's sake. I've posted that same "
Willin'" from Atlanta '77 four different times going back to April 2016 when I was learning it for a 4/20 show with HGB. And each time I posted it, I made similar comments about how much I liked the band. A couple times I mentioned her funny/wry/shy intro.
Guess I really don't have much new to say. The "
Tumbling Dice/You're No Good" from that same show is hot too, but I'm pretty sure I said that too.
What the heck, it's a great jam... here's how you close out a show.
I think I may have posted this one before - but right now I'd rather repost than go looking to be sure. https://youtu.be/KJQBYuCL1yY

Yeah. Gentle Giant. I saw them open for Rainbow back in the seventies. They had some of the coolest album covers. I think this live version of "Playing The Game" is better than the studio version.

Excellent. Amazing mix too.
DistillaMatto , Thanks !
The audio was recorded on an 8 track ZOOM recorder then remixed and post performance synced to an Apple Iphone video .Both bass and keyboard had DI and the rest were all with various mic placements . I have an alternate audio mix video posted as well ,with my bass mixed at a hotter level on my YouTube channel called Sonicus.alembicus , where you can find more of my content.
One of the band members owned the recording equipment and did most of the work with me being ask to be a consultant .
Nicely done Wolf!
Thanks David ! I hope that all is well !

I can't recall seeing them do too many tunes from Bare Trees during the Buckingham-Nicks years, but here's Spare Me A Little... from 1975. In the last few frames there's a good look at John and #73-27. (I'm lookin' at you, Keith!) It's up nice in the mix, sounds like he had the bridge pickup Q-boosted and opened up.
Listening to Jimi Hendrix on a BBC documentary. Is there any knowledge if he ever had an alembic in his hands?
Given that Jimi died in 1970, and the first Alembic, Jack Cassidy's bass, was made in 1972, I doubt Jimi ever played one.

And following up, here is the same number, from a couple months before. I think this is very late in 1974, Bare Trees tour with Bob Welch and Doug Graves in the band. #73-27 was wearing black pickups, its original bar tailpiece, and had yet to be fitted with a master volume. The groove within the band, to say nothing of the harmony parts is strikingly different from the '75 issue.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnV50Ik_31c
Wherever could that Torbert bass be? It just vanished...
I was watching this remastered video of Fleetwood Mac from a 1976 concert the other night. It's interesting that he's always played an alternate bass for 'So Afraid' I think maybe because it's down-tuned. Still does, as of the last time I saw them do it. Anyway the Alembic is behind him in a stand.
Right near the end a couple frames something caught my eye... just beyond John, it looks like someone wearing an Alembic t-shirt. I don't recognize them. Could be anyone I guess. Might not even be what I think. Right at 4:40.
*screenshot added...
I met Mr.Dave Torbert in the 1980s at one of his gigs with King Fish during the period after Mr. Bob Weir had left the band. I was helping an opening act with their equipment when he asked me if I would be so kind as go bring the King Fish guitarist Mr.Robbie Hoddinot who was resting ,to the stage . I remember leading Robbie to his rig and handing him his guitar and telling him that after he has it in his hands ,I would flip the stand by switch on the back of his amp. They played great ! I was very sad when Dave passed away and Robbie as well .
In regards to Fleetwood Mac ;I have always wanted to jam with Mr.Mick Fleetwood the Drummer, whom I highly regard as to his chops and playing .

Yeah, that's nice this morning. Made my brain work too. I really gotta' get a better bluetooth speaker in the shop. In Bridget's defense, I don't know what she'd have played on an upright bass that would have served that song any better. The liitle double-stops and occasional strums on the Hofner (?) kinda' fit. She is such an outside-the-box bassist though, I'm guessing she would have played an entirely different passage, and it would have been great...

This 9-minute film was created from photos of the Grateful Dead taken by Linda McCartney in Central Park, NYC (5/5/68) and at 710 Ashbury in SF (12/1/67). It was shown at film festivals in 1996.

I started seeing her on show bills with East Nash Grass last year. (or was it the year before now...?) What she is doing is interesting from a couple angles. I'm not sure it's been done from the bluegrass/oldtyme angle at least. She seems to have created an undefined character. The audience never quite knows which Sierra Ferrell will be entertaining them. I think it's meant to be a caricature of authenticity... not exactly my thing, but I get it, and it's very well-done. Here she was with ENG in the Mountain Fever (record label) hospitality suite at IBMA last year;

It just hit me out of the blue: Pretty much the whole Great Folk Scare of the '50s & '60s was a caricature of authenticity; I mean, a Jewish kid from Minnesota with an Okie accent? Young white New Yorkers singing like old black men from the Delta?
And I'm not meaning this as a put-down; some of my best friends have been folk singers. Now, when you start damaging - oh, excuse me "relicing" - perfectly good instruments, then we got a problem; that's faking it a little too hard......
Peter
Yeah, I think that got my thought across. It's kind of an exaggeration of reality. In Sierra's case, her perception of reality might be out of mainstream but I think it's marketable in entertainment today if she manages the business end of it right, and it looks like she is... it's certainly unique. My hats off to anybody who figures out how to put their head into making a living making music. It's hard. I don't have to like every facet of it to respect it.
(I'm okay with 'aged' finish on vintage reproduction guitars, but the extreme 'relicing', as in making them look beat up ain't really my thing. But TETO.)

Trying to reimagine Mayer's "Queen Of California" into a bluegrass tune while woodshedding this winter.
The fingerstyle roll and signature hook to the tune make it work pretty well, instrumentally. The ten-minute envelope filter solo out, not as much, but there's more that one way to bake that cake.

I'm thinking this was about the last we saw of Union Station.
From 2001, The Buena Vista Social Club Orchestra at The North Sea Jazz Festival, fronted by the great Omara Portuando. My only regret that while I lived in Miami Vice days Florida in the 80's, I never lived in South Florida where I could have begun to absorb this kind of Latin music, and more from the Carribean (not to mention all the Cubanos and Cuban coffee I missed out on!). This stuff fascinates me in that all the backing rhythms seem almost contrapuntal, and the improvisation on top bends the pitches AND the time against the core of the tunes. I love this stuff. Plus, bands with kit drummers and who knows how many percussion players. Timbales, Si ! ! !

Digging the Buena Vista Social Club. I've been enjoying Latin jazz more and more as I get older. There's a local college station - WDCB - that plays mostly jazz around the clock (some blues and other odds and ends too). They play Latin jazz on Friday nights, and I often hear it coming from the shop where I work.

If you liked that, maybe you'll like this documentary that I watched a few nights ago. It's a documentary about his preparation for live and studio performances of Bach's Goldberg Variations. After seeing that, I ordered the 4 CD set which includes both the studio recording and the live St Thomas Church performance in Leipzig, excerpts of which are shown in the documentary.

Well, I reached out to Mr. Muthurajah a while back to thank him for all the kind words in that video. It's always amazing to learn that something you played on an recording, often years ago, will "ring somebody's bell" like that. That's the power of music.
On the other hand, I just play by ear. So when people get deep into analyzing which scales or even what fingerings were used I kind of glaze over. I'm mostly unaware of those things and just trying my best to play a nice melody over the chords. That's the best I can do.
Nice of that fella though. And I'm proud to have been on any of those Holdsworth albums.
Cheers,
Jimmy J
I thought he did a really good job of breaking down what our buddy Jimmy J did in that video. Alas 95% of it was as over my head as the Holdsworth piece was to start with. I reckon it does feel strange to analyzed so long after the fact. I never know what to say when someone asks me what I played here or there... most of the time I honestly can't remember. Truth be told, it was just something that happened in a moment.
I've been lucky enough over the years to have played with musicians (especially guitarists) who were way better than me, and made me push to get better. Sad to say, several of them have moved on, but I got to hang onto that experience. And it's not like this thing you just summon up for a golf shot; it's always there, like that person's music is part of your musical identity now.

One of the Dead - I disremember which - once said that they embraced Bear's constant recording, and later that of the 'heads, because that way they could listen later & find out what they'd done.

I enjoyed this very much; thanks for posting!
I've been on a Tony Rice trip for about a month now... and because it's seasonally appropriate I spun back into his cover of Gordon Lightfoot's "Song For A Winter's Night". I always thought it was a great tune, but that Gord's cut of it was over-produced. I had no idea how many other folks had covered Winter's Night. Sarah did well here I thought. Still a lot of production.

Had I just heard the "Words of Wonder" without looking I would have thought it was Tom Waits singing with a british accent. Keith does like his Reggae. Back in 2006 I drove for some people involved with the Pirates movies. We were on the lot of Disney Studios in Burbank. It was the middle of the day. While walking to my client's trailer I walked past an extra and thought to myself: "Wow, they did a good job casting the extras. That guy really looked like a well weathered pirate. A few moments later it came to me that it was Keith Richards. He had an entaurage of people at his trailer that looked like they came from Jamaica. One guy was cooking something over a portable stove and Reggae music was playing from the speakers.
I was listening to the solo project of a friend of mine from wayback last night, (for another tune) and ran across this fast and furious fiddle tune, named for a place in the mountains of Western North Carolina. (not too awful far from Dave...)
The rhythm to this thing is insane. And they did it even faster at live performances.

That's some fine playing, and yes, I've been to Devil's Courthouse (I wasn't charged with anything); that area around Black Balsam is my favorite place to go hiking. And yes, it's not too far from my house; as the crow flies, it's closer than downtown Asheville.

Cave Dwellers, cool! The bass player Bruce Gordon was the owner of the flight case company I started working at in 1996. He also had a backline rental business. He was one of the main guys at R&R cases starting in the mid 70s before he split off around 1995. He was/is also with the New Colony Six. There's also an appearance by Ron Onesti who runs the Arcada Theater in St. Charles, IL, and more recently the Des Plaines Theater in... Des Plaines, IL. He's the guy who lets them into the room, then applauding at the end.

R&R make the best flight cases going! Having spent the bulk of my full-time pro days in & around Chicago, these are names I recognize (even if I didn't recognize the faces). What company did he (and you) go to when he left them?
A quick look at my friend Dean Milano's book in the "Images Of America" series,
The Chicago Music Scene 1960s And 1970s, and I see that Mr. Gordon went to the New Colony Six from the Revelles; the Revelles were originally called the Cave Dwellers; a bit of full circle, here!
Peter (who will add that once upon a time, if you asked them nice - an gave them a bunch of cash - R&R would build you a pair of amazing 1X18" scoops; they would

Well, R&R USED to make the best flight cases, but MT took it a step further. Plus, we will build it the way YOU want, not the way THEY want to make it. 8) (I hear complaints about that a lot). Bruce started a company called AdvantEdge after R&R, which is where I started in '96. In September of '97, the company was bought by a couple of guys from On Stage Audio and became MT Case Co. They've now grown into a massive audio/video/lighting company as OSA International, with locations in Chicago, Vegas, and Nashville.

Just a funny coincidence... about this same time, early 1996, I started working at Nashville Custom Case, building Custom road cases for just about anything and everything imaginable. The guy who owned the business had been a musician, and didn't mind scheduling work around my touring schedule. Anyway, he'd single-handedly grown that thing from his garage to a multimillion dollar business. He and his wife finally sold it to their employees and retired a few years ago. https://www.nashvillecase.com/ (https://www.nashvillecase.com/) I try to stay in touch, as they were very good to a young struggling musician. I'll have to post some old pictures of that place on my shop thread one day.

That looks more or less the same band I saw on tour here in the early 2000s. First time I'd seen Joe Zawinul and was absolutely blown away by the whole experience. Thankfully I got to meet them all after the gig too. The bass player was astoundingly good and Sabine Kabongo has an incredible voice. Thanks for posting.
Last night we watched "Immediate Family" on Netflix. It's a documentary about Leland Sklar, Danny "Kootch" Kortchmar, Russ Kunkel, and Waddy Wachtel. Well worth the watch.

After I watched that one, I watched this full concert:
The Zawinul Syndicate - Full Concert [HD] | Live at the North Sea Jazz Festival 1997
Bass player on this one is the amazing Richard Bona, and in this concert he is indeed amazing. Drummer is outstanding and the whole band is great; and Zawinul is just the incomparable Zawinul.
Zawinul seems to have constant eye contact with the other players, especially intensely with Bona; also interesting are Zawinul's hand signals where the band suddenly turns on a dime.

First track released from Alison Krauss & Union Station's upcoming album, Arcadia-
This "Looks Like The End Of The Road" sounds to me like a track missing from Paper Airplane. That isn't a criticism, just how I hear it, she sounds great. Usually Alison takes a different direction with every record... there's a common thread, but I can't think of two that run together. And it's been more than a decade. We'll just have to wait and see how the whole thing plays.

We're in luck! The liner credits are on their Wiki page.
Nancy wrote "Father's Hall", Norman wrote "Bright Days". She is credited for "mandolin, cello, vocals"; nothing about which songs which of them played what on.

Keith Jarrett, The Köln Concert:
A former GF was a keyboardist (got her Bachelor's in Harpsichord Performance), and had this album. It was the first jazz that caught my ear (and that had nothing to do with what we got up to when baked and listening to it......)

I have his Bremen / Lausanne concerts, which was recorded around the same time, performed in the same completely improvised style, and is equally amazing.
Hands down, my favorite jazz pianist. Although the Lausanne-Bremen and Koln concerts are amazing, people should also check out the Sun Bear Concerts and trio and quartet work Jarrett has done with Jan Garbarek, Dave Holland, Jack DeJonette, Gary Peacock, etc. Amazing output over the years despite experiencing chronic fatigue syndrome and such a shame that the strokes he had put and end to his musical career.

I discovered in the comments last night that he showed up at the venue in Köln and found, in place of the high-end piano his contract called for, a crappy one, out of tune and with a broken pedal. He almost cancelled. They got it tuned, but he stayed on the middle keys the whole time because the high & low registers were so fecal sounding.
Makes it even more amazing, I think.

Yes; I have the double album "Tribute" with DeJohnette and Peacock, wonderful takes on jazz standards including this gem, which back long ago I used to think was over covered, but this version is absolutely beautiful.

Hi Greg, forgive my ignorance but would this be classed as Bluegrass?
We went to see Louden Wainright III last week and quite a lot of the music the band were playing sounded like it was this style. So made me wonder if he was a bluegrass or folk or a fusion of both. What do you think?
The standard of musicianship was incredible!!!

Crooked Still was one of a few bands on the front edge of a trend towards traditional folk music, reimagined Jazzy. In the struggle to label what bands like them were, the monikers chamber-grass and nufolk got tossed around. They were often booked at some major bluegrass festivals here in the U.S. but as a crossover act, they wouldn't be considered a bluegrass group, even by themselves. I thought what they were doing was fantastic. One of the ensembles I still play with from time to time is still heavily influenced by what they did... very structured/arranged (as opposed to improvised) traditional and some original folk music. We booked ourselves quite successfully for formal/semi-fomal events as an Appalachian String Quartet.
I had no idea Louden Wainright III was still performing! I would place him into a folk music scene. I'll have to plug him into my YouTube channel more often!

After watching the interview, last night I started rereading Densmore's "The Seekers".
While my opinion of Morrison's lyrics has been revised a fair piece downward since my teens (when I was a huge Doors fan), I still hold Ray, John, and Robbie to be one of the finest rock bands ever.
Peter
Handy reference, Jazzy: If it's bluegrass you will find at least 4 of these 5 - doghouse bass, guitar, fiddle, banjo, and mandolin; resophonic guitar is acceptable, but not by hardcore traditionalists.
And bluegrass has a very militantly traditionalist faction.
How many 'grassers does it take to change a lightbulb?
Five. One to change the bulb & four to complain that's not how Earl* would have done it.
*That would be banjo player extraordinaire Earl Scruggs.

Jazzy: While Dead music is popular in bluegrass circles, and despite the implications of the name, this is not bluegrass (as marked by the electric guitar. I forgot that part before; none that there new-fangled electricalicity allowed!)

What is, or is not bluegrass music seems to be the question to which there is no answer... it just depends on who you ask. I've been in it, and surrounded by it my entire life. I know it when I hear it, I know what I like, never felt like it was my place to criticize what I didn't. I played in bands with people who did this all the time, and it bugged the daylights out of me. Like we weren't scratching and clawing for gigs too. Just my observation here. Every music genre has its militant traditionalists. On some level, I think maintaining traditional music is good. When it crosses the line into being exclusive, they don't need to show me the door - I'm out.
Here's a bluegrass group I like a lot, at a festival in France last August. This is a working band that's 'on the bubble'... the musicianship is super-tight, the show not quite yet polished, but you can tell they're going somewhere, and they want it.
I've been following ENG basically from their beginning but especially since lockdown, when they played to an empty bar in Madison Tennessee and broadcast on YouTube for Venmo tips. These days, they are about 7 years into a pretty good run. I've seen members come and go, and watched the core of the band mature into what it is. Whether they break out and hit mainstream remains to be seen... they're so close.

I got into a long discussion about Darol Anger's influence on the fiddle music community yesterday afternoon with somebody in the shop. Somebody ought to write a book about that guy. I'd have to say his Republic Of Strings concept project did more to shape this subsect of music than anyone else I can of. Here's Brittany Haas (one of his many protege') with Darol and his current band, Mr. Sun.

Fiona Apple ,I love everything about this track , Checkout that Gibson Less Paul bass as well . I remember seeing those hanging in music stores . This one has a lovely crunchy tone that I really love .Fiona Apple : a natural music genius whom learned to play the piano and write songs as a young child _____. Her alto voice is really special in my opinion _____
We just got a kitten, and at the request of our 22 yo daughter, we named her Fiona Apple. :D
Also, I have a Les Paul bass, but mine is a 90s rather than the 70s one in the vid. Great groove!

I really need some Bluetooth headphones.
I bought a Bluetooth speaker for the shop but that silly thing sounds so bad that I quit bothering with it. I have this great big greenbean can on a shelf above my workbench... (one of them 101 oz. foodservice-sized deals...) I used to use it for old guitar strings, but since we recycle them at the store, I coil the strings and slip them in a Stew-Mac box and return them weekly to the bin at Fret Mill. Anyway, point is; I can queue up whatever I want to hear and stick my phone in that bigass can, and it sounds better than a purpose-built tube with a micro-amp and speaker in it.
There must be something better, but I don't want spend big buck$ on something for my dusty shop when the bean can sounds fine. I do need some headphones for my afternoon walks.

Yeah, these guys have made just a little bit of amazing music together.......
My introduction to them collaborating was Strength In Numbers; Jerry, Sam, Bela, Mark, and Tony with Edgar Myer on bass. Caught a whole-set video from Telluride late one night. Called a friend next day to rave, and told him I wasn't sure if I was listening to The Bill Monroe Consort or Paul Winter And The Bluegrass Boys.......

Leland Sklar on bass with The Doors.
Just heard this for the first time.
Wow! As a youngster, I had all the Doors albums with Jim - a college friend also had Other Voices & Full Circle; they remain to this day the only copy of either that I have ever seen.
Up until now, I hadn't heard this since 1976. It isn't their best, but would have OK, if they'd cut the first section.......

I did. ;)
At least I did when they finally took the stage. There was right much hassle involved with getting in and it was
cold. Then the opening band started late, and went long, playing some real shall-we-say 'chestnuts' that I really could have missed. They'd have been okay for maybe a half-hour or 45 min. set, but an hour was pushin' it and running over was a good excuse to find the restroom. (admittedly, I'm a tough crowd...) So East Nash Grass didn't actually start until like 9-something after we came in at 6:30 for a 7:30 show. I was ready, and they didn't disappoint. Seriously... I follow this band pretty darn close, and even I was surprised at how tight they are fresh off Winter break. And it was nice to finally meet them all in-person and talk for a minute. They tried out a buncha' new songs last night, and Maddie confirmed that a new project is in the works. James said he thinks it probably will drop sometime in late-Summer. The bad news is, they've gotten too busy to keep playing at Dee's on Monday nights, so now the streamed shows will be fewer and further between. The good news is, East Nash Grass has moved beyond a regional act and firmly established itself in the bluegrass music scene. I've seen this kind of musical magic happen before... I'm really happy for this bunch. It's been great watching them grow into this band. Makes me wanna' go back again and try harder!
Let's see if this works... I caught the encores.
The next track from Alison Krauss & Union Station is out...
"Granite Mills" stays firmly in the vein of her penchant for dark ballads... and this one's
really dark, albeit historically rooted. We finally get to hear Russell Moore on lead vocal here, and some spooky modal fiddle, backed with possibly an octave mandolin... or is that a high-strung guitar as the primary rhythm instrument? I ain't sure.

And so I have. I'm pretty sure I'm hearing unison courses there - but no, I'm not 100% sure, either.
Peter (who guesses he'll have to keep coming back to it until he is sure: Oh, the torture........)
It's
jangly... failing using my phone-a-friend privileges, I guess we'll find out how they reproduce it when the the tour kicks off next month. Russell can play mandolin. Ron is usually the utility multi-instrumentalist guy. It'll be one or the other of them.
Granite Mills is powerful. As mentioned, those disaster ballads really strike a chord!

Ah - in the immortal words of Arlo Guthrie, there was a third possibility I had not even counted upon - even though there's one sitting about 8' from me as I type!
OK, another listen with that in mind, & I'll report back.
Peter
OK, that time I think heard some picked fiddle that I don't recall from last listen. And there's a banjo, and Jerry, and Alison, and a bass - and I think I'm just gonna go ahead and say they put a lot of layers in this, and its not clear-cut. So I'm inclined to say what the heck; why not just say it's mandolin, & octave mandolin, & bowed fiddle, & picked fiddle, & mountain dulcimer, & high-strung guitar, & what the heck - why not uilleann pipes?
Sounds good, whatever it's made with.

RIP Ernie Sykes. Thank You for teaching a dumb dreamy kid from Virginia how to sing a third harmony part while playing a proper walking bass line behind a singer, for showing him how to make some grocery money on Broadway and Printer's Alley with nothing but bass and a good sense of what
not to play.
Keep that Angel Band straight, old buddy.

Nice version of Redemption Song!
East Nash Grass, with a remix of an old song, in which they've done an interesting change-up on the time signature. (from 3/4 to haul-assimo)
Just watched this on facebook and found the youtube video of the same track. It's just over 10 minutes but if you can hang on till the end the keyboard solo is incredible.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_XJ_s5IsQc
I ran across this beautifully colorized and restored final scene from STORMY WEATHER. Swing with a capital 'S'.
Everything reappears from what came before: Calloway's jive is the precursor to scat singing, even rap many years later. The legendary Nicholas Brothers are deeply revered pioneers from the big dance musical days, Nicholas and Fayard were required study for Michael Jackson and any dancer with an eye for history. The band swings like a hammer, and wait for Lena Horne and Louis Armstrong at the end of the scene.
https://youtu.be/IoMbeDhG9fU
As an expatriate Texan living in Tennessee, I'm required by Mother Texas to perform certain rituals to maintain my Texas citizenship (after all, it IS another country).
While I did get an exemption regarding Lone Star beer in way past medicinal amounts, luckily, my diet has to include Chicken Fried Steak, beef ribs, brisket, frito and pecan pie, and I have to listen and/or play to a number of hours of George Strait, Willie and Waylon, and certainly Bob Wills (or the functional substitute of Asleep at the Wheel).
So here's the mighty Wheel on the classic 'Navajo Trail' with the fabulous Quebe sisters. I can't decide if their voices or their fiddles are better harmony, but nonetheless an elemental display of family harmony, that blend that can only be formed growing up together with the same DNA.
https://youtu.be/HFFYkF5v7Kk
And note the 'stairstep' Fender steel guitar: Before pedal steels came along (there's none on this one), steels often had 3 or more necks, all in different tunings. You'd see guys like Wills band member/steel player Leon McAuliffe ('take it away, Leon!'), and they may float from one neck to another in the same song, you'd grab different ones like guys who play diatonic harmonicas switch them out to get different keys to get through a song.
Well, that was a nice way to roll off the start/finish line this morning. :)
I think you're 100% correct about the Sisters' Quebe DNA. They already sound alike, of course they can sing alike. I can't help but think that is also a factor in how they play the fiddle harmonies together. I think they probably think/hear the music in much the same dialect, and the transposition happens so much alike for them that they can't help but... do what they do. What I'd like to know is; do they play the same harmony parts that they sing? Cause to me, that'd be strange if they didn't.
One of the hardest things I ever had to learn was singing a baritone part while playing bass, specifically a walking bassline. Something you damn-skippy better be able to do in Nashville. I was just reminded of that experience this past week.
A friend of mine who can play pretty much any instrument you don't beat or bow sings quite well while any that you don't blow. But he says he can't figure out how anyone can sing and play bass.
He also said he couldn't sing & play guitar until he learned to play piano.
Peter (whose wonderful wife thinks he's making things up when he talks about blood harmonies)
Quebe Sisters tear it up on the outro of this one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QANZnAKDvc8
I sing and play bass, but I can't completely separate them, and I still don't know how I do it; I should fall over or bite my tongue off...the Quebe sisters are something; an old sound that is great to see back.
This buddy of mine just sent me this. It's weird, because I just saw it in my YouTube feed yesterday... we must have the same bots following us. https://youtu.be/B0dLqlWoYo0?si=AdI8T7JfF6y7IOr9

From Bela Fleck's tour behind
My Bluegrass Heart; In these 2 numbers I recognize Mark Shatz & Edgar Meyer on bass, Bela (and someone I can't place) on banjo, Sierra Hull & Sam Bush on mandolin, Jerry Douglas (and someone I can't place) on Dobro, Molly Tuttle & Billy Strings on guitar, and Michael Cleveland & Stuart Duncan on fiddle: In short, nothing but 'grass royalty:

The extra banjo player is Tony Trishka.
The mystery dobro player is Sierra's husband, Justin Moses. He's a mult-instrumentalist, plays every instrument up there quite competently, so Bèla has him jump around some on the shows he's been part of.
The other guitarist is Bryan Sutton. Probably the most sought-after studio guy for acoustic guitar tracks in Nashville these days. If Billy puts butts in seats, Bryan is the first-call guy for the records. A-lister... Hot Rize. Etc.
On the subject of mystery band members... the song is kind of a deep-cut. I don't remember Alison Krauss & Union Station ever performing this anywhere else or any other time. It's from the movie soundtrack for "
Twister", and it's from about the time that was happening. (best I remember...)
Larry Atamanik: Drums
Viktor Krauss: upright bass
Pat Bergeson: lead guitar
Barry Bales is still here, just on bass guitar.
Adam Steffey on mandolin.
Dan Tyminski is on rhythm electric guitar, and high harmony.
Ron Block is playing a resonator guitar for the main signature of the song.
Larry went on to be a regular touring member of Union Station.
Viktor is Al's brother of course, but also co-wrote the song.
Pat and Alison were married for a while, though not here.
Viktor, Pat and Alison are all three listed as having played with Lyle Lovett's Large Band. (now
there's a list...)

Here's a track from
My Bluegrass Heart, featuring Justin in a banjo duet with Bèla, Bryan Sutton on guitar.
Here's one a couple years ago when they got to play the Opry together. Justin played guitar and mandolin that night. They're presumably just warming up here.
The first time I was ever aware of Justin he was playing fiddle. Crazy skills. Very good singer as well, but you can't get three words out of him.
I saw Mavis Staples last night here in Tokyo with this band line up. Greg was playing a Danelectro with flatwounds. https://youtu.be/j2rxbZ6APNA?si=v87G6sNKC2tpe_QM
Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters:
Peter (who knew he was posting this one as soon as he saw the band name....)
Honeycutters are really good, I enjoyed that.
I was curious of course, so I looked. They got the name from a tow truck company in Western North Carolina... our family name is quite commonplace out there, and virtually unheard-of here. Particularly that spelling, which is usually how we know how directly related someone may be. See, you have to imagine one of our British friends here pronounce 'Huncote'... that's what it sounds like phonetically if you're from there, just say it quicker than we do here.
Hun-uh-kut. Doesn't quite roll off the tongue if you're naming a band though. :)
My cousin Andy Ferrell is also from Asheville, N.C. played a set for that same program a while back. I bet he knows those folks. I'll have to ask him.
Amanda Anne Platt played at a Hurricane Helene benefit a few nights ago here in Asheville that a friend of ours organized.

Long ago, a young guitar player in the DC area got a call from a high school buddy, asking him to fill in on bass for teh night's gig; it went like this:
"But I play guitar, not bass."

My maternal grandfather, and his father, died with Alzheimer's, and if my Mom had lived much longer, I'm pretty sure she would have been so diagnosed as well; gives one pause as the lines on the face start to get deep enough to obscure the scars.
And my beloved of 42 years not only has early-stage vascular cognitive impairment (the mark of a massive number of TIAs), but inherited her mother's bi-polar syndrome - which, it turns out, has also manifested in at least one and probably two of three sons.
This one is worth a close listen:

I've been thinking about it all day... "Eyes Of The World" (the Fleetwood Mac one... totally different, more cynical take on the metaphor) was the B-side of "Hold Me", a hit for Christine. But what else from the
Mirage album got any attention? Finally it hit me; "Gypsy'"... that was the really big one from that record... you couldn't turn a radio on for a while and miss it. I also realize that I've reached a point in life where 1982 doesn't seem like
that long ago, and yet it was.
As usual, John's bass parts drive right to what's really important in the core of the song. What a slick bass player. 😎 He made me want to do this.

I can't zoom in close enough to see, but it sounds like he has a coil-tap function engaged on those humbuckers. I had push/pull pots on my project guitar, they were mini-humbuckers, like from a Firebird, or early 70's Les Paul, but they had a similar zing when split to a single.

A very Western North Carolina sounding fiddle tune from Sami Braman's band. I assume she wrote it.
*I forwarded this one to my counsel of fiddlers yesterday, just because I thought they might like it, and a rather interesting string of analysis of what tuning Sami might be using ensued. It was finally settled, she was cross-tuned in A, but not the 'calico' A tuning of A-e-a-e... a more unusual one used for a certain effect; A-e-a-c#.

They are evidently teamed up and touring together some. Bronwyn's up first, leads off with Me and My Uncle. ENG is up after intermission, and there's a big closeout jam with both bands... two of the finest fiddlers on the planet here.
Too late for me to settle in for 2:41:40 of one-camera video tonight - but that is one fine "MAMU"!

Forgot about this one until a couple of days ago.

It follows the recent theme of "dark" tunes. The mix isn't the best, it does have 2 bass tracks panned slightly left / right and displays the tonal flexibility of an Alembic. :D
The darkness...
Lyrically it is a sad narrative.
Further darkness...
Jerry was the drummer on the track, he also was a co-worker. He had several 'bassless tracks' that he shared, we connected really well musically. Regrettably his work ethic wasn't a good fit and after an extension of his probationary period he was let go. Two weeks later he let himself go as well.
Jerry was a subordinate of mine. The unfolding of his departure gives pause, wish we stayed in contact after his loss of employment, it's understood that he had other demons. We move forward.

Matching lipstick and guitar. Wow. Very nice playing.
Redd Volkaert lives a quiet life of semi-retirement in neighboring Floyd County, occasionally drops in for a set at the Floyd Country Store, a local music venue. He's as amazing as ever, and the supporting band is tight.
The bass player here is a buddy of mine, Dylan Locke. Dylan is part-owner of the store there. The funniest part of that is how we met... I got a call one day from a guy on the way to a gig, he got my number from a local recording studio, and desperately needed his soundpost set. Got that...
on the way to the gig? Okay, well I've done housecalls on basses, so I grabbed a couple tools... mirror, light, setter, retriever, string winder, and headed to meet Dylan at a Park & Ride. I set the soundpost in that bass there on the side of I-81. We still joke about it.

Really appreciate both of those guys playing the thin stringed instruments. ;D
Having trouble getting online on the computer with the actual speakers, but can't wait for this (but not excited enough - or, rather too excited - to "listen" on the laptop's "speakers"). Once I get the desktop sorted, I'll on this like white on rice; Redd is amazing!

Carole King's Demo's of Monkee's tunes: Pure Joy.
Porpoise Song. Previously unreleased.
That Carole King demo is great. My older sisters had a bunch of Monkees 45s when I was little. Loved the show too. I thought all bands lived in a house together, LOL! Plus they had a cool GTO.
Jorma has a promo clip for WMSE, they played it this afternoon and followed up with Water Song.
Had me sitting in the truck in the driveway, had to listen until the end, neighbor wasn't home from work yet, so it was played loud. ;D Jack's bass line is a favorite.

Peter (who, being a gentleman, shan't think of after the jam.......)
I lived and breathed this entire album when it came out. This particular tune came up in my weekly coffee/guitar/mandolin jam at First XI this morning. What a flashback!
https://youtu.be/tjmm7A85vyI?si=ER9Z3pW8jsEAeTOp
I found this in a remainder bin at a record store in around 1976. It looked interesting, I knew Vassar Clements from Old and in the Way, and I liked David Bromberg, so I thought I'd take a chance and bought it. Blew my mind! I'm still listening to it almost 50 years later!

Thanks Dave.
I'm always curious about how things work... and I'm usually surprised by how often something posted here is something that has also shown up in my YouTube channel feed. The same "Brothers" video Dave posted was up at several points yesterday when I was watching/listening to other things, and I finally watched it here. 😊
Listened to this recent interview with Sierra Hull, regarding her newest record, while I was walking yesterday. It's pretty well-done. I've gotten really picky about artist interview videos... I listen more than watch, because I'm usually doing other things, (like walking or working on something) so I'm much more interested in content. Throw-away questions and/or clueless interviewers will make me find something else pretty fast. Sierra got to really talk about her record and her ideas, and where they came from here.
I've been watching this kid a long time now. Rewarding to see what she has grown into.
*title track to
A Tiptoe Highwire Act, "Spitfire". It's based a a true story of her Grandmother. I heard the track but hadn't realized the backstory.

It doesn't surprise me. Creep me out, yes, but not surprise me.
I'll look at Reverb or Dream Guitars on the desktop, on my AOL account, and She'll get guitar ads on Her stupidphopne. Orwell was wrong; the problem isn't Big Brother, it's Big Brother, Inc.

Seeing the "crank knobs" in another thread brought this to mind.... Everything is a song! ;D
Dregs - Crank It Up
Speaking of algorithms...
This popped up after the Dregs song.
I massage YouTube Music a lot by being sure to 👍🏼 things I like.
To Peter's point, awhile back I was bemoaning how much my feet hurt. Shortly after I have all kinds of ads for old people shoes/ insoles popping up. Have to admit some of those ads are rather convincing. :o
My real life solution, wear a different pair of boots each day to work AND remove the insoles everyday to allow them to 'poof' back up.
Nothing to do with listening thread... just following the conversation.
I still, to this day, wear my same work boots out to the shop every morning that I wore to work as a Waterworks Operator. Skechers... very lightweight and comfortable. I bought two new pair every year with the allowance they gave us. The chemicals we worked with ate them up faster than we could wear them out usually.
In a past life I was employed at Weinbrenner, they make Thorogood boots. The Design Manager and I were friends, got me plenty of "testers". There are 3 pairs I rotate through. The boots last forever, insoles wear out.

I happened to catch this live post of Sierra Hull's new tune too late last night to take it in. Saved for this morning.
She has a very interesting take on guitar, accompanying herself. I've heard her flatpick many times, but this is a hybrid flatpick/fingerstyle... she's pulling several notes at once for effect here. I've been
trying to do something like this for a while. You just have to feel that timing.
Saw her play at a festival last summer, great playing and band! :)

https://youtu.be/PPsevhQkn68
I was always a big fan. I've always wanted someone to clue me in as to why Australians are particularly so harmony-deep, these guys, the Brothers Gibb, etc. This was cut in the late 70's, and I ran across one of those YouTube videos with much younger folks just discovering what we all grew up on. This particular one was a fledgling producer in South Florida hearing this for the first time. Of course, it's a long production, lots of twists and turns, big string parts, and the vocals are stellar.
So about two-thirds of the way through it, he pauses the playback, looks at the camera, and begins talking in utter amazement that this was cut before digital, before vocal tuning, before quantizing, only punch-ins, and is DUMBSTRUCK that people had to play in time and play and sing in tune ALL ON THEIR OWN.
Amazing. I laughed out loud at this but then . . . . it hasn't dawned on him that you still could.

FOH for a band I was stage man & monitors for had a collection of 3-song break tapes; one was "Gaucho", "Hey, 19" & "Time Out Of Mind". 45 years later, any one of those comes on & I'm tuning for the 1st set on a Friday at Oscar's in Bloomington, IN.
We played Oscar's every 6 weeks - it was a great room, with great crowds, and we always kicked ass there; it was a Thus-Sat gig, so any problems were dealt with the night before, and they'd let us load out Sun PM, so 2 easy nights; my then-GF was working a Master's in harpsichord performance at IU, and lived 2 blocks away, so unlike most other gig nights I was clean, well-fed, and both recently- and soon-to-be-lai.....er, I was happy.

Another sign-o-thuh-times. Or just a tell on my age coming out? More and more lately, I have to start with this qualifier; "in the days before YouTube..." meaning, you can't find it... you just had to be there. It's hard to imagine a time when we didn't walk around with a television studio in our pocket.
*The Little River... runs right by the shop of my friend and mentor Ward Elliott, in Riner, Virginia. It's an incredibly scenic and beautiful, unspoiled mountain stream.

Was scrolling through YouTube last night and Money For Nothing popped up live. Quite an all-Star cast of characters including a CLASSICO between Knopfler and Sting! Anyone know whose it is? Can't be too many rattling around Blighty aside from Vince & George.
https://youtu.be/6CB9OrGZ7-c (https://youtu.be/6CB9OrGZ7-c).
Does Sting own one?
Sorry if this has been discussed before....its news to me.
I suppose I should take this conversation elsewhere but I'm on a roll. Ok. Classico's started production in 1993. I read somewhere that only 2 are made / year as they take up so much bench space. So....doing the wedding date / birthdate math....my Classico has a completion date of 01/20/96 so it was probably the 2nd one of 1995...making it #6 or #7? I'm sure Mica can correct some of my Alembic lore. Oh....its 96CB9610. I do not know from what concert the above link was from but Phil Collins was still able to play...Eric wasn't grey yet.....and Ray Cooper NEVER ages! On the keys is Steve Winwood. How did this powerhouse assemble?
I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if Sting had a Classico. I know for certain he plays upright quite proficiently. When I was working for Nashville Custom Case back in the 90's, we built road cases for his entire traveling studio, including trunks for several instruments. I don't remember specifics, just the boxes.
Music For Montserrat, 1997. No idea who owned the Classico, but besides Mr. Sumner being there, John Giblin (AKA Long John Gilding) was the bassist for the house band that night, and he played both bass guitar & doghouse.
Peter
So......surfing around over at the Classico thread.....could this be George's Classico before the piezo modification? And.....could this be the first Classico?

That pretty much solves it. George's Classico was once John Giblin's, and according to Mica's post way on back, Classico #1. Cool. 😎 I was kinda' hoping Sting had one... probably blew all his quid on studio gear. 🤣
I watched the full video last night and the only tune the Classico was played on was a Jimmy Buffet tune at 22:09. As is the norm on these videos, the producers go to great lengths to hide a bass player! The only real facetime of the bassist was on the Police's Every Little Thing She Does where he is playing a doghouse.

It's been a little over 6 months since our banjo player Lee Dunbar died very suddenly. Lee had a huge generational following of younger banjo-pickers who hung out around our camp at fiddler's conventions and anytime a jam was on, and Lee loved to pass on anything he knew to them. He genuinely loved being a banjo player and being around like-minded ones. Anyway, one of our buddies thankfully documented a bunch of Lee's licks, especially the gift he had for translating fiddle tune melodies into a 5-string banjo roll. I have edited and posted the first batch of these to my YouTube channel. It's unlisted, but the links are shareable.
https://youtu.be/NvBy7lVyK1s?feature=shared
https://youtu.be/EFtFmd0NkO4?feature=shared
In the cache' of video was this one of Lee's competition at the 79th Old Fiddlers Convention in Galax Virginia, this would've been 2014 I think... for sure though, I'm backing him up here with my little Martin 00-18. He went on to win 1st place that year.

I have since learned that there are at least 9 episodes of "Darkstarathon", and they should be enjoyed in order; Phil's idea was for it to be an unending rendition - each band's jam picks up where the last left off.

I did. Deliverin' was the first Poco album I heard, and when I did, I loved it. I no longer remember when that was, but early 70s. I already knew of Richie Furay from Buffalo Springfield, and I may have known then that Jim Messina worked on the Springfield's last album. My friends and I had all the early Poco albums and kept up with the lineup changes.
I loved Cotton's guitar playing, and the band's harmonies.
Poco had lots of potential, but it seemed to me that they always had only one or two really good songs on each album. But the really good ones were really good. Still have the CDs, and from time to time, still listen to the good ones. My favorite, Rose of Cimarron; listening to it now.

Covered Miss Ohio many, many times, but the first time is the reason why... I was playing bass in a newgrass crossover band, that for whatever reason got booked for a weird number of wedding events. This one particular bride (who happened to be a big fan of the Miranda Lambert cut), picked out "Look At Miss Ohio" for her bridesmaids to make their entrance. It tickled me for the rest of the evening.

Very good, indeed.
Bobby C's guitar appears to be one of Bobby W's "Cowboy Fancy" model, with the middle single-coil replaced by a 3rd humbucker. And no - no idea of Mr. Johnson's bass.
Peter (who will add that Billy's kit is exactly the one he mentioned over in the humor thead a few days ago)
"Cowboy Fancy" was an Ibanez custom designed for Bobby. It was meant to be somewhere between an ES335 and an Ibanez Artist. Weir also spent a lot of time on the Ibanez 2681 with the "Tree of Life" inlay on the neck.
Bill, tgo

Yep. And there were multiple iterations of each (according to
Grateful Dead Gear - which I know is not what one could call "error-free" - at the time of publication you could buy a CF for $6666. Last I looked, though, it's no longer a catalog item).

Ya know, I hadn't thought of it years, but in the basement party room/jam room/my bedroom of a semi-communal-living kind of house back about late '79-early '80, there were 2 copies of
Anthem; the purple one we all know and love, and one with same cover, but with a white background.
The latter was purported to be a later Lesh remix. I don't even recall if I preferred one over the other - but I sure would like to sit down with both again & see.

Vince is on break from his gig with the Eagles, and loaded up to tour with his bunch. Sounds pretty tight on the set closer here.
I recently watched a long interview with Vince about some of his gear, and I believe this is his old stand-by, a fairly rare white '53 Telecaster. He has another bought years later, but he's had this one since the 70's. He goes into minute detail about its merits in the video.

She's still loving me by Morgan Heritage. I have a stand in on guitar gig. It's a reggae musical for a theatre band gig late next month. Got emailed youtube links to 25 songs on Monday night and had first rehearsal with the band last night. Seemed to go well so got loads to learn fast and that track is one of the many I am not familiar with.

In their 3rd/4th season together now, this band is really tight... and it shows.
Metallica posted this on their channel yesterday, playing the adopted anthem for the Virginia Tech Hokies at Lane Stadium earlier this month. (right up the road from me...)
The set closer actually registered as an

In 1979 I attended The Recording Workshop (yeah, the one that used to advertise in
Rolling Stone). It's in Chillicothe, OH, home turf for Pure Prairie League, and one of the guest lecturers was John Call - he was sidelined by back trouble and thus was managing them at that point, instead of further proving that he's one of the best pedal steel players ever.
I'm a fan, so I went up and talked to him after, and he ended up offering me FOH on their next tour.
I didn't follow up, because 1) I wanted to get back to Chicago and get a studio gig (ended up working in Chi for 6 years - and doing exactly one studio session, with a band I was doing monitors for), and 2) Craig Fuller had left and they had a new guitarist/singer nobody had ever heard of, so what good would that do my career?
Yeah, it was Vince.......

Somehow I didn't know this was a thing. They did a few gigs together in 1999 and released a live album. A new expanded and remastered version of the album was released this year.
It's like Zeppelin but with three guitar players to play all the parts that are on the albums.

I ran across this RTF video from their shows in 2008. This stuff is WAY over my head, but inspiring and breathtaking in the level of musicianship in these guys, and yet it's still so very musical. Although I'm convinced Mr. Clarke could wind his watch with the fingers of the same hand !

One of the things I enjoy most about this bunch... they keep it loose and fun. I've heard them play this a couple dozen times, never the same twice.
On a whim, I pulled up Amazon Music on the desktop (almost never do), and lo & behold they have The Music Never Stopped! (Recent live album, not just the song); 4 or 5 cuts in, and I am digging it hard!
Highly recommended.

I've been tasked with figuring out how best to accompany a vocalist who is singing this in a competitive folk song category next month. Key is A flat, but subject to change. Instrumentation is up to me, guitar is probably easiest, makes most sense. I may opt for a mandolin if given the choice and it isn't some wackadoodle sharp or flat.

This most recent bout of 'mandolin poisoning' has resulted in a welcome side-effect... I've rediscovered a few CD's long-buried in a stack that came home from the former workplace. Among them, mandolin master (and generally great guy) Adam Steffey. These are from a solo project a few years ago. I'd run into him at Galax, and got this one. Adam's wife Tina is on frailed banjo here-

Can't wait! But I had to laugh when the first response to her post was "Sierra is top tier level musician. I'm a progressive metal and shred guitar nut so I'm telling you that her insane abilities have reached outside the bluegrass genre and it's undeniable. She's amazing."
Anyone who thinks Vai, Satriani, Malmsteen,
et al - let alone metal players - are the definition of "shred" has clearly never spent any time listening to 'grassers, or to Nashville cats.....
Peter (who didn't even mention that the bluegrass folks are doing it on acoustic instruments with what the above-mentioned would consider bass strings)
I can't remember how old Sierra was when we first met her in-person, but she came to Galax with Adam one year. I feel like it was a year or two before this, like she was probably 18 or so. You could tell she had clearly been studying him for a very long time. And that kid loved to jam 24/7. They did workshops together like this quite often. The connection you see between them... that's pretty special there.

That was absolutely wonderful! I wasn't planning to watch the whole thing, but the first song was so good, I couldn't stop watching. And yes, when Walrus started, I cranked up the stereo. High point for me was My Guitar Gently Weeps; couldn't help but think of George.
Dave, me too. I couldn't turn it off, and thankfully one of the few YT long-form videos without a bunch of commercials chopping it up. The only thing they didn't include was the scratchy 'shh, shh, shh,' after the last cut where the needle slid on over against the label. Amazingly well done, glad you got a bang out of it, I know I did.

Years ago, I had a copy of CHUCK BERRY'S GREATEST HITS, and hidden among 'Nadine' and his other hits, a slow blues, 'Wee Wee Hours'. It always stuck with me, and a completely different turn for Berry.
So in the late 80's when Keith Richards produced the concert movie 'HAIL, HAIL, ROCK and ROLL', I'd forgotten that Eric took a turn at this song. Recently ran across it again, and I love this version, with solos by him and Johnny Johnson, the piano player behind all of Chuck's hits back in those days. The band was Keith, Robert Cray, the late Joey Spampinato on bass, Johnson on piano, Chuck Leavell on other keyboards, and Steve Jordan on drums.

East Nash Grass, putting on a fairly polished set at a bar in Kansas last week, the beginning of a 3-week tour according to James' commentary. Couple new tunes debuted in here. Couple funny moments. Like the old days at Dee's.
They sound really tight... and they are nominated for two IBMA Awards as a band (Entertainers and Instrumentalists of the Year) plus Maddie is nominated for Fiddle Player of the year. I hope they pick up something... I don't know why, but I just think they will own it all
next year. This new record is really good. But then I'm oldhat... whadda' I know 'bout it?

Terry Evans with Ry Cooder, 'Get Your Lies Straight', a spooky, bluesy malevolent-sounding piece that reminds me of the rough houses I once played. Scary guys dressed to the nines with straight razors in their pleated pants, dimly lit Houses of Blue Lights where you only look straight ahead, and the cops pull up outside . . . but ain't stickin' their head in there.

My guess is that they were playing a Grateful Dead tune. I stayed up late last night watching a lot of Tedeschi Trucks, and that shot looks to be from one I watched.
Found it, same show - different channel, from three weeks ago at Red Rocks - Franklin's Tower:
Also watched a full concert from a few days after that where on one tune he played a Firebird.

This one ran across my channel the other day too, and I marked it for 'watch later'. I was walking at the time, and it was
hot. So Steve and Alison have this duo project coming out that "Dear Time" is on, and it happens they are presenting the IBMA Awards next month in Chattanooga. (smart move, whoever had that idea... these things tend to be full of miscues and cringe-jokery. Steve and Alison will be much more comfortable in the role)

I'm sure
Safe, Sensible & Sane will come up. Steve Martin can't be described as anything other than a true entertainment genius. And I tend to enjoy anything Alison Brown is involved with. Here is the first release from the record featuring Tim O'Brien singing, bluegrass A-listers Bryan Sutton and Stuart Duncan playing along. And one of my all-time bass heroes too, Todd Phillips.
*a little tip of the cap to the man behind the scenes... bassist Garry West is Alison's husband and producer of this, and many, many other fantastic projects.

Looking for something else and found this:
I actually played this same festival with
Acoustic Endeavors... a totally different band, but we got our names tangled with theirs occasionally because of the genre' bending. Stompin' '99 went down as a catastrophic failure in terms of music festivals and as a follow-up to the legendary Stompin' '76. It was still one of the wildest, craziest weeks of my musical experience
ever. I saw this performance live. The next morning the West Virginia State Troopers were on the way in as we were leaving.
*so on some level you hafta' call that a win... we got paid and got the hell out.

Martin OM Mikael Åkerfeldt
That's an interesting set of specs for an OM. The OM-35 was only made for a few years, and never really caught on, but I sure liked them. Evidently a Swedish metal guitarist I'd never heard of did too! I was very close to choosing the OM as the platform for my Custom Shop build last year, but opted instead for a 12-fret 0000. The OM I had already is a mahogany build, and there are things about that sound I just didn't want anything to compete with, so I went in a radically different direction, both sonically and visually.
Martin has done a pretty good job of 'keepin' it real' with most of these Artist Signature models. Some of them can be a little bit weird. I really like the three-piece back, as seen on Styles 35/36. Most interesting, (to me at least) and smart too, they used Guatemalan rosewood for the sides and back, and the center wedge is darker East Indian rosewood. It makes for a nice visual contrast, and allows for use of smaller pieces of valuable rosewood. Which was the original intent of Style 35. I don't think it was mentioned in the video, but to further geek-out on specs, that's an ebony 'pyramid' bridge... very cool vintage Martin touch.
Opinions vary on the VTS (torrefied) top, and the "Liquid Metal" pins. I have a couple guitars with torrefied tops, and it's definitely a different sound. I also have a few vintage guitars and no torrefied guitar ever quite sounds like ones that's truly aged and played for 80 years to my ears. They are mighty good. I didn't have it done to my recent Custom, and don't regret the decision. I also took a pass on the Liquid Metal pins. I think the main thing is to build them with good wood and keep the tolerances very tight. I think it's hard to mess up a good-sounding guitar with bridge pins or conversely, make a mediocre guitar better with them. The main thing is that they are fit correctly.
Anyway, that's a handsome guitar. And a very limited one. (only 74, according to Martin) https://www.martinguitar.com/10OMMIKAELAKERFELDT.html (https://www.martinguitar.com/10OMMIKAELAKERFELDT.html)

Thanks for your thoughts, I was hoping you would respond; I learn a little more every day (though I promptly forget most of it). I don't think I've ever heard any of his band's music, though I have heard of them; but I loved his playing in this video, and his tone with that guitar.
Alison Krauss & Union Station played a make-up show in Decatur, Illinois earlier this month. (she was born there, and a bit of the stage banter early in the show is about that...) It's fun to see her so light onstage, completely off script. Some of the shtick is a running theme, like in band intros when she plays the naive city girl, befuddled by Barry's hunting habits and routines. It changes nightly, but the punchline is the same; Barry's the best, been there 36 years. (It's 1:28:30 here...) https://youtu.be/V2Ex4diL-hQ?si=V5DuCWL9wqaXOilu

Wow.
And I still think of her as the young girl I saw on CMT in the early '90s..........
Peter (who will admit to noticing the passage of time enough to note that she's even better looking now)
The whole damn thing is a time warp to me. I can only image what it's like for her and Barry... he's the most senior band member now. Barry was actually there back when they were riding around in vans on a festival circuit sleeping on their cases like the rest of us. Stuart and Jerry already had their accolades and awards by that time, Russell was in another well-established band, and Ron had yet to immigrate to Nashville. I watched the evolution of Union Station in real time, basically from the get-go. I'm kinda' doing it with another band now...
And know for some popping.

I saw Jerry Douglas in 1984 or 1985 when he was a member of The Whites, at the Long Branch Saloon in Raleigh. I was in the house band at the Long Branch, and was thus able to sit just off the side of the stage right beside Jerry, and watched him playing all night.

That was well worth the watch. I'm still wondering how it works? I mean... you have to have thought out an actual wiggle-stick on a keyboard... give it spring resistance and return, yet it clearly has an electronic interface. It's probably easier than I think.
Vince Gill and John McEuen introduced some ladies at IBMA Awards Show in 1990... 35 years ago this past week. Every single one of them went on to rather noteworthy careers. Arguably, a couple of them already had one by 1990.
Lynn Morris- guitar
Missy Raines- bass
Andrea Zonn- fiddle and harmony vocals
Alison Krauss- mandolin (yes, mandolin) and lead vocals
Alison Brown- banjo (and I think she's singing the third part)
*as a side note, the song they're performing here was written by Ron Block, who would join Union Station a couple years later, replacing Alison Brown. His band at the time, Weary Hearts, was playing "You're In My Heart" in regular rotation. The circle is pretty small... Ron's bandmate Chris Jones (and brother-in-law) played in Lynn Morris' band and also in Whetstone Run with her for a while before that. Ron and Chris are both prolific writers.

These guys are new to me; thanks! I don't know if I'd go so far as to say I'm
into them - but they sure don't
suck! First song? Don't care
what the guy doing the intro says, I'm hearing some Zappa influences there ("Once in a while you get shown the light/In the strangest of places if you look at it right" - if you
listen right, too)
3rd song - a freakin'
theramin?!Interesting, to say the least.

Thanks for the Fishbone Pauldo! Love those guys. Saw them live several times in the 90s and beyond, though it's been a long time. Those guys WORK it!
She's always dressed pretty nice, and fairly conservative... the closest Alison ever got to risqué I can remember was a white sheer outfit that got... uhhhh... backlit on the CMA's one time. I appreciate that she never overtly trashed-up for the cameras and generally avoided media attention at all. And at risk of sounding stodgy or prudish, I just never thought of her that way, or the other girls in the bluegrass community for that matter. It just kinda' felt wrong. Maybe it's because I grew up playing in bands with girls... and we just always had to watch out for them in certain places we played at. It got to be more of a brotherly role. They watch my six these days.
FWIW, the live performance of My Poor Old Heart was pretty good. The dress was nice too. The fiddle break probably would've been better in the days of IEM's. I've heard her just slay the double-stop intro to it. She clearly couldn't hear well enough to take the chance. https://youtu.be/d0AzB5g_6Nw?si=Cx9xexYIZBNR3Ap3

A few days ago I watched Rick Beato's interview with him. His right hand technique is pretty amazing and is how he gets that attack and clarity; and it's also why he has to change strings really often. It's a great interview; the main inspiration for his style is Django Reinhardt and Gypsy Jazz.

Yeah. I mean, the song itself? Obviously glorifies war, and verse 3 tells of what a wonderful thing it was that the US troops massacred the escaped slaves who fought for the Brits (how
dare they raise their hands against their masters??), and the melody is so hard because you're supposed to be drunk to sing it; it was lifted from a song sung by a club of young "noble" Brits, organized for the purpose of consuming huge quantities of brandy and raping "common" girls - just altogether a really crappy anthem (I would recommend replacing it with "This Land Is Your Land" -
all the verses Woody wrote, not just the ones they teach us in grade school).
But they did do it beautifully, didn't they?

Bill Evans and Eddie Gomez, 1966.
I'm guessing this is somewhere in Europe, shot in a television studio for later broadcast. And apparently Evans is traveling without a drummer as Alex, the drummer, doesn't know the set. The film starts out with Evans and Gomez showing Alex the intros, outros, etc., as Alex stands there listening. Then, Gomez shows Alex some sheet music to help with the most challenging of the tunes. And then they film the set. One take through; but they redo the last tune, the most challenging, a couple more times. Then done.
I found it fascinating. Eddie Gomez is just great; and of course Bill Evans is Bill Evans. And Alex looks like he's enjoying playing with these two top tier players. And there are cameras all around the players, moving in close, pulling back, circling around, etc. Sound and camera work are great.
Worth watching even if you're not a jazz fan.
Wonderful music and truly great production.

Sinatra, 'Got You Under My Skin'. He was one track short for the album this originally appeared on. He calls Nelson Riddle at FOUR AM and begs him to bail him out, they're REAL close on their timeline to finish, master, and begin pressing to get it out to the stores. Riddle charts this in the car running over there with his wife driving, he runs in, they cut it.
Speaking of Jones and Sinatra, I just watched a documentary about Paul Anka. Wow, the things I didn't know! The guy has written over 700 songs, including countless hits for others, including "She's a Lady" and "My Way". Our sister company OSA have been doing sound for Anka for a good 30 years now, but I've never known his history. I do have a cool, gold SM58 with his name on it that someone over there gave me. https://www.hbomax.com/movies/paul-anka-his-way/378efb82-8269-4175-81cb-0744c71498aa (https://www.hbomax.com/movies/paul-anka-his-way/378efb82-8269-4175-81cb-0744c71498aa)

I'm afraid that, technically, that isn't an SM58; it's an SM58S, which adds that slider switch you see there. I had to Wiki it, as in 54 years of dealing with SR gear, I had never seen such a thing as a 58 with a switch, and had to look it up to see that the 58S is, in fact, a thing. And not a good thing; first rule of sound reinforcement: Never trust the Talent with an on/off switch!

I was just making sure you were paying attention. ;D
Peter:
Geez this knocked loose an old bedrock memory: Back in the day, we sold a Shure mic, looked like a 57 or 58 (took the exact same cartridge) with a slide on/off, came in a white plastic case with an included Shure XLR Lo Z to 1/4" male High Z, about the size of a cigar, silver cased metal cylinder, that was CHEAPER than a 57 or 58 in a box, late 1970's.
Any idea what THAT mic was ? It's an ancient memory and I can't quite place it.
I dunno, it's been more than a week now.......
Sounds like maybe a Unisphere I 565 or a Unishpere A 585SA or 585SB.
But don't bet the farm on that.
Peter
A very long time ago our PA system was a Shure Vocal Master. This ancient thing had six 1/4" phone jack inputs, and a spring reverb. Two big vertical column speakers. Anyway, the old mics that came with it were in plastic cases like Joey described, and sounds kinda' like the same thing. The model designation long escapes me, but the boxes said Unidyne. It was a funny word to me. They're probably still in those boxes packed away at the old James River Music Hall.
Shure being headquartered in Evanston - the first 'burb north of Chicago - every club in the city had a Vocalmaster. A fine system for making speeches, and sort of adequate for folk. But don't even think about using it for rock or blues! (Yes, I know this from painful experience).
Unidyne is a name they started using with the 55 (that silver birdcage-looking thing Elvis sang into back when he was good), and continues to be applied to their cardioid mics to this day. As far as I can figure, the Unisphere moniker refers to Unidynes with a globular windscreen.

Been listening to Achilles Wheel albums most of today. I first saw them after watching some of their videos on facebook. The bass player has a lovely bouncy style and a great tone. MY favourite track so far is "Drink the Water" which has a reggae feel to it.

Love Achilles Wheel. I've seen them in a local bar and also their outstanding lead guitarist/vocalist Jonny Mojo playing with another band in the area in the last six weeks since we moved to Grass alley. Their Alembic-playing bassist, Shelby, is also excellent.

After their live set at the Green Room (
sans Ben Jacobs, the keyboard player) popped up in my YT sidebar, I ordered
Live From Wesley's Road (3 CDs, 3.5 hours) from their website; in the several years since, it has spent far more time in the player than out of it.
Don't know if I could pick a fav, but "Black Sarah", "We Dreamed Of Flying Cars", and the title cut would all be candidates.
All 5 are superb musicians, but "Jonny Mojo" Flores & Shelby Snow are at a whole 'nother level!
Without question my favorite currently-active band.
Peter
I tried to but that cd from their website but could not find any shipping costs to the UK. I sent a message to the band on facebook but never got a reply. So listening to them on music streams. But I still prefer owning music I enjoy.
Try e-mailing them and asking; the address is bandinfo@achilleswheel.com, and the one time I wrote, they answered in a timely fashion.

Yeah. It's a Deering John Hartford sig model - but that multi-detuner-lever contraption on the headstock ain't quite factory. Any thoughts on that, Greg?
Peter
My recollection is that is actually one of John's banjos. He used all kinds of low tunings and alternate tunings, this mechanism employs a type of levers that bend the strings behind the nut rather than inside a sealed planetary gear like Bill Keith developed. There are several different types and makes. I don't recognize this one. It's entirely possible he made it himself or had it made for that banjo. I wouldn't be surprised.

Chris Stapleton goes back to the 70's disco well, and Miranda Lambert's along this time. Every so often pop-country radio surprises me with what they take a liking to.

It's too early in the morning for that earful of notes! HA! That performance was 40 (!!) years ago with my original 5-string 76-418 and before I had gray hair. :o As with all things Holdsworth, the back story is complicated and Allan would have never wanted that video released. But he's gone so all bets are off. Anyway, don't wear yourself out listening.
Jimmy J
Thanks for the Holdsworth! Cameras seemed a bit intrusive; but the resulting shots were nice. I read the bit in the notes about splitting the stems and applying some eq and compression; the sound quality is pretty good.
Jimmy's rig is taller than he is! I suspect you don't travel with it much these days.

Just a couple quick tales of that gig...
That was the 1986 MusicMesse (like a giant version of our NAMM show). First show of the tour so we were all jet-lagged. First show played with keyboardist Kei Akagi. The gear was collected from several vendors at the show which meant hours of running around wheeling gear around a convention center - leaving very little time for a soundcheck. The camera guys were ON STAGE in our faces and literally stepping on our pedals. There is a classic AH moment on one piece where the SynthAxe fails and needs to be rebooted during a fixed solo section - only coming back online for the final 2-bars.
Although we loved trying to play that music, many of the gigs and tours were fraught with difficulties. And as I said, Allan would NEVER have approved the rerelease of this material as he was not happy with his own performance. But then, he never was.
Side stories. ;) Carry on!
Jimmy J
I work with a guitar player who is very much like that. It's both frustrating and rewarding in equal parts to play with someone who is obsessed with that waypoint of perfection at every performance. Coincidentally, (or maybe not?) he's also an Allan Holdsworth fan. One of the few people in my close musical circles who can process and enjoy that music.

Pretty good interview with Keb' Mo' on Clint Black's Talking in Circles program.
Coincidentally I met him during my tenure in Nashville. This would've been around 1996, and he was playing for a thing they used to have down on the river at 1st and Broadway (across from where the football stadium is now) called the Festival of Lights. No band, just a guitar, a couple mics and a Barcus-Berry Porchboard. I bought a copy of that record, and that was my gateway to Rob't Johnson.

Seems like I remember Jimmy telling us a story about another one that played with Reba McEntire too... not much question about which Jimmy this is though! 😊 I need to dig through my 80's country catalog and see if that guy ever recorded with her or just worked the road. I thought she mostly used the Nashville A-listers of the day for tracking.
Cheers guys. That was oh so very long ago. Russ Freeman and his team were nice and appreciative folks to work with. But when I hear that track now it sounds almost like an LP playing at 45rpm (for those who get the reference). That's a mighty bright tempo for that song! Ha! We were all youngsters.
Carry on,

Seems like I remember Jimmy telling us a story about another one that played with Reba McEntire too... not much question about which Jimmy this is though! 😊 I need to dig through my 80's country catalog and see if that guy ever recorded with her or just worked the road. I thought she mostly used the Nashville A-listers of the day for tracking.
It has become a hobby of mine to find notable Jimmy Johnsons (to date ours, Reba's, Chicago blues guitarist, Muscle Shoals session guitarist, racy car driver, football coach, &
Arlo & Janis cartoonist - though I suspect I'm forgetting one or two).
When Jimmy mentioned the guy with Ms. McIntyre, I searched to see if he did anything else, and could find no mention of him - and the stupid AI kicked in to tell me that Jimmy Johnson had never played for Reba, but has spent many years with JT. So I'm assuming touring only.

Sorry to sidetrack the thread. A few years back if you did a search for "Jimmy Johnson bass" you would be pointed to an award winning bass fisherman. I've enjoyed the relative anonymity of my common name. I'm from Minnesota, the land of Johnsons, Olsons, Swansons, etc. My dad was Clifford and at one time there were 40 of them in the Minneapolis phone book. :D
OK, now where were we?
Jimmy J
Sorry, last word. It might have been this guy:

There ya' have it... you guys gotta' get together sometime and prank some folks. 😄
Two degrees of separation; Leland Sklar played on a buncha' Reba's records. But then it's hard to find anybody who's anybody Lee didn't play on at least some of their records.

Also the Land of 10,000 Lakes and In-Fisherman so somehow (with twisted logic) the bass fisherman connection works.

A guy I worked with for 2 different bands spent some time with Doña Oxford, a boogie-woogie pianist. After I watched a vid of him with her, i searched her & watched the next one up - and there's Mr. Sklar.
He's everywhere.

Pop-country radio hasn't paid much attention to Lee Ann for about 25 years now, but I do. I'm hoping (half-suspecting, actually) she has another record coming out soon. That L,L&G was a great record... 2017 though... nobody but her fans bought it. Which I think was a large part of the point.

The thing I really appreciate about the O'Jays at Daryl's: These guys have been at it a LONG time, and like some of their contemporaries, they could have just done it on autopilot, took the check, and went home. But they STILL jump on and go for it, and that really moves me.

I don't think I ever saw that one of Vinnie before... that's been a minute. Yessir, guitar-playin' fool rite there.
I'll listen to that later, when I'm upstairs where the speakers & cans are. Always up to listen to him, even when he isn't picking!
Stop me if I've told this one before, but in '79 John Call (pedal steel for Pure Prairie League) offered me FOH for their next tour; I passed because, first, I wanted to get back to Chicago & find a studio gig (never did - but that's OK, I loved doing live), and second because Craig Lee Fuller had left and they had a new guy - and what good would do my career to work for some kid nobody'd heard of?
Yeah, that would be Vince.......

Great googly moogly.
"Surf's Up" is my all-time favorite Beach Boys song, and the original, never-released-but-often-bootlegged version is one of the most amazing recordings
ever. Better, in both composition and production, than anything on
Pet Sounds or
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, I'd say.
In '04 Brian released
Brian Wilson Presents Smile, a rerecording of the album which (to my ear) pales next to the original - but it's
still Brian Wilson & Van Dykes Parks, ya know?
That video just strongly displaced the '04 version as my 2nd-favorite "Surf's Up". That was
spectacular!
And how can one human throat produce that range??? Tain't natural!
I stand with Cros's rehearsal assessment......
Thanks, Greg!

Yeah, he is plugged in to an amp, and you can see Derek motion to the person running monitors and point to them twice. I don't think he was happy with the tone he was getting from that amp, and had no time to make adjustments, but made the most of it and enjoyed the moment.
I saw a couple comments that suggest that his band was playing that same night and he went over to sit in with Billy during a set break, which is pretty cool.

Yeah - National Flatpicking Champion at Winfield in '75, when he was 14; again in '77, which why they instituted the rule that winners were ineligible for 5 years.
Also, the National Oldtime Fiddlers' Championship in '79, '80, '81, and '84, the Grandmaster Fiddler Championship in '75 (before his birthday; he was 13) and '80, as well as the Buck White International Mandolin Championship in '81.
Please note that the one in '84 was the only one of these wins after he hit age 20.........
Yeah, the boy's a bit of a picker.

Jazzyvee asked on the McVie Artist Showcase Thread yesterday about other tunes John might have played fretless on that wasn't the 'continuously fretted' Alembic... I really had to think about it. Since I'm more familiar with the eponymous White Album than the earlier ones, (and I'll listen through Bare Trees and Kiln House today) the one I have always thought sounded fretless is "Over My Head". Since it's from 1975, this recording pre-dates the stainless steel fingerboard Alembic. Could be just carefully/skillfully played on a fretted bass with flats, because Mac's a genius. Listen carefully for slides on the bridge part-
https://youtu.be/UXWia0TWAMM?si=X8l7FYw8wTMAnUe2
*I know for sure in later years, he played fretless on this one in live performances. The Dance for one.

Peter
Also possibly on a fretless bass... listen carefully to the chorus.
This is another case where I know for sure in later years John played fretless on
Say You Love Me in live performances... so the parts existed in his mind without speedbumps. Still, I think it could, and indeed was played many times on fretted instruments.
