John Gorka ... What was That

Man alive - where else could I go and, in the space of 8 posts, get turned on to a spectrum like Phil & Friends, Raphael Saadiq, Cort di Lunas, and John Gorka, three of which were totally new to me??  That's some genre span there.

Thanks, folks!

1998 SNL Xmas show - "Pete's Schweddy Balls" with Alec Baldwin.  A classic.

Bill, tgo

From Bear's Sonic Journals, Jorma Kaukonen & Jack Casady, "Before We Were Them" in Santa Rosa, California - 6/28/1969. (day before I was borned!)





Thanks for the tip, Mark - this is very good stuff. 

Thanks for that, Gregory! I was looking for that on YT and didn't see it.

Da-yum, those two are good together!!  Any time, and in any configuration, they just kill it.

Nice Hot Tuna!

Doc, Merle, and T. Michael

Yuja Wang played an absolutely explosive solo piano piece on Kennedy Center Honors for Michael Tilson Thomas.
Didn't catch the name and can't find relevant answers on the WWW....
It was fire -


Speaking of fire, they also honored Earth Wind and Fire and sadly, the performances given were too 'clean' for this guy and his wife.  They were performed well but just didn't have that raw energy that accompanies the stage performance of the real group.

The video is not showing in the EU, but apparently Yuja Wang played "a flirty rendition of You Come Here Often" .

Thanks Adriaan!

Found it; for me this is one of those performances that make me sooo excited about the complexity, the power, the rawness and the proficient execution.

Enjoy!

Playing for Change - What's Going On

I love the playing for change videos. They're really cool to see all the different performers.

Paul, David, good stuff, thanks!

Arrived in Denver today to spend Winter Solstice with some of the grandkids - so, in honor of the season, my favorite holiday song:
