Bill, tgo

Lots of YES, Big Wreck, Guthrie Govan, Aristocrats, and my own BLAK29.

An absolutely wonderful version of , released today, put together by the folks at Playing For Change for JamBase's Songs of Their Own series.

I really like the lyrics to this tune and I may have found a singer to cover it at a jam , after that   who knows ?    

Dave , That is indeed a swell Ripple !

Monte Montgomery, playing an amazing rendition of Mark Knopfler's classic Romeo & Juliet. (one of my FAVORITES!) This video is a few years old now (from NAMM 2007) but it's no less amazing than the first time I saw it. Guitar solo begins at 4:40, and goes through the second video.
 

 

 
You can't teach *that*. (but if you could, I'd go take lessons!)

Patti Smith covering George Harrison's .  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.
