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.



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.

Happy birthday, Alison!

Willie Weeks y'all...

One of my favorite bass solos.
Jump ahead to 8:00 if you don't have a lot of time.  (Best to listen to all four movements.)

MMW ... Bubblehouse

I liked the Willy Weeks stuff, I saw him with Delbert McClinton a year or so ago, great stuff!

Bubblehouse made me think of this...

The Bubblemen (AKA Love and Rockets)

New Lari Basilio with Vinnie Colaiuta, Nathan East, Greg Phillinganes

Lari's song ended too soon for me...
Beautiful composition and effortlessly executed.

Now for something completely different?

Was at this show in NYC. It was fantastic.
