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!

Watched ELO at Hyde park on TV last night - enjoyed.

Lost in the world of 'right hand side' youtube, Budos Band madness . . .  
They are on Daptone Records - makes sense.

They are awesome! thanks for that, I will look for more...funky bass,Hammond b3 and cool horns-WOW!

Really am caught off guard on how the news of his passing makes me feel lost . . .

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 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, .  Best autoharpist ever, IMO.
 
He breaks down some of his technique .

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.
