ps - Hey there, friendly mod types - is there a way to embed vids in our posts?

Animal Logic; woke with A Spy in the House Of Love in my head this morning.
Stan's playing is understated but fits the album perfectly.

Peter; I've been meaning to look into it at some point, but my plate always seems to be pretty full.  I've just put it on my to-do list where I'll see the reminder and hopefully get to it at some point.  I don't yet actually know that we can do it, but my recollection is that when we were working on the board transfer, I might have seen something we could add to the platform to make it work.

Quintette du Hot Club de France -  happy 109th birthday, Stephane Grapelli!

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. 



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 . . .

One of George Harrison's better solos. 

Nice recording, Greg.

Loved the Django and Grappelli.

My brother is a big Pearl Jam fan (I dig 'me also).  He sent me this link.
This group is awesome, saw a documentary on them,  love it!

The arrangement and performance of the Pearl Jam song was pretty cool.  I wasn't familiar with the tune; here's a by Pearl Jam.

I love the way this thread takes odd turns. 

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.



*pauldo, at last year's reunion, the banjo player Tommy and I did George Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun" as an interlude.

Our good friend Jimmy Johnson with the Steve Gadd Band live in Rochester. What a trip!  And what a fantastic bass sound!

As I type I am getting my first-ever taste of ; not 100% about her yet, but 2 verses in it seemed like I should share the discovery & see what y'all thought.
