Wishbone Ash...'Argus.'

Great album from a much overlooked band.

The PHC vid was great - but Wakeman just doesn't seem right without a cape.....

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 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.

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.  .



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.

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 - 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. 

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.......
