The name Klaus Schulze may not be familiar to a) many Americans, and/or b) guitar players, because he was neither. However, he is regarded by many as one of the founders of the electronic music genre. He played with Tangerine Dream on their debut album Electronic Meditation and with several other ground-breaking bands until launching a solo career that produced over 40 albums. His live concerts were legendary (a full list of his works is on Wikipedia's page). According to his web site, a new album produced before his passing is scheduled to be released next month.
The passing of another giant. R. I. P.

OS during the 80s, I listened to Heart of Space and using my cassette deck, recorded shows so that I could listen to them later. Fantastic stuff.

Someone on the LPF posted this one, and I'm enjoyng it so much. I only ever knew the Woodstock tracks.

Something different and very interesting: Classic style cool Jazz played by Japanese bands and guitarists.
Six degrees of separation, Willie. Or something like that.
I have a number of albums by Country Joe & The Fish: Electric Music for Mind & Body, I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag, CJ Fish, and a personally-signed copy of www.countryjoe.com (which is also his web site). How did I come by an autographed CD (and beverage glass)?
In the 1990s, I had a married couple as friends, Tom and his wife, Lynda. In her prior life Lynda Van Devanter was an Army nurse at the 71st Evacuation Hospital in Pleiku province, Vietnam. She chronicled her experiences in a book titled, "Home Before Morning." Exposed to deadly chemicals there, Lynda succumbed to cancer in 2002. During her life, she was one of the motivating forces behind the addition of the nurses' memorial at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D. C.
She was friends with Country Joe McDonald, who also hails from the Washington, D. C. area. She put me in touch with him, and he sent me a copy of his CD and a the drinking glass, with the note on the CD, "Keeping the Faith."

Fantastic, Fred. He's quite an overlooked talent. I read up on him today to see that he's recorded soooo many albums. Prolific.
I need to listen to more of him. Great band, the Fish.
I’m enjoying a lot of Kenny Burrell’s GREAT guitar work

He has a very simple and focused style. I like his phrasings a lot!

Hankering was satiated. Even started playing the rebuilt Jazz bass. Just call me John Paul Jones :biglaugh:
BTW - after the album played, Apple gave me a killer playlist, best I've seen yet
I've found a pretty cool online "radio station" for times when I just want a full range of Brit rock--classic mostly and good old heapings of prog.

Was in a Dave Brubeck mood tonight. So hard to groove this heavy in 5/4 (or 10/8 depending on how you feel this) - by the way, the drum solo from Joe Morello was epic in this cut (starts at 4:40).

Yessir…I’ll take a second round. Paul Desmond has to go down as one of the smoothest alto players ever.
Ever since I saw John Cipollina's rig on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I've been wanting to hear the blare of those Wurlitzer horns coming out of the "quiet break" of the Who Do You Love Suite. Considered by several music publications as one of the greatest rock albums, Cipollina remarked that he didn't understand the plaudits, saying, "It was just a two-chord jam."
(Not the original album, but a 1973 Winterland concert. You can hear the effect at the 14:48 mark)
Since I’m getting to know my new Mini Maton acoustic, I’ve been digging into Tommy Emmanuel:

I’m currently listening to most of what the guys are posting here:

Thanks for this Sér... er, Sugar... er, S.Cane. I was motivated to order the 3-CD set about John Cipollina based on comments there. :yah:Quote:

I am ashamed to say I didn’t know Tony Joe White until this morning and I am loving all of his albums. I love minimalist songs and this gentleman was a master of making music on a strat!

There were maybe thirty of us in the audience, at a small, local cafe. I chatted with him, but didn't buy any of his (many) CDs (I don't have a good player). He's very much into roots blues, traveling, learning and teaching. He played Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Mississippi John Hurt, and threw in some instrumental ballads and told a lot of background stories. I paid a measly $11. Well worth every penny!
He played this, too.

Some vintage Jefferson Airplane from "Surrealistic Pillow".
I happened to be watching an old flick from 1990 called "Flashback" the other night starring Kiefer Sutherland and Dennis Hopper and the film was populated with songs from the 'Summer Of Love" era including Marty Balin's "Comin' Back To Me' which brought back a flood of memories, so much so that I needed to hear more. I had to listen to the entire album. Twice.

Dennis Hopper was a real genius, both in front of the camera and behind it. Incredibly, his conservative philosophy did not match his on-screen persona. He and I shared a birthday, along with actor Bill Paxton.
Anytime I come across a video that features two of my favorite guitarists, I have to stop and watch (and listen!). I've seen this before, but it never fails to floor me. Jeff Beck with Eric Clapton and Doyle Bramhall II playing "'Cause We've Ended As Lovers."

Joni Mitchell with perhaps one of the greatest backup bands of all time: Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Lyle Mays, Michael Brecker, and The Persuasions (backing vocals).

I'm listening non stop to Bobby Weir's 1972 album, Ace
Donna Jean kicks it on Cassidy. I'd love to meet her. Backed up Elvis and then was a member of the Dead. She's still performing last I heard.Quote:

I’ll be honest: I don’t reeeeeeeally love his tone but his rhythm technique is really great.

Of course, but I am referring to the more minimalistic arrangements and Bobby’s guitar workQuote:

Shake Off The Demon is the song I'm putting on my open mic playlist, so I'm enjoying hearing the terrific harmonies, clever lyrics and just good-timey feeling of this duo. During their heyday, guest musicians included Jerry Garcia, who played pedal steel guitar, Mike Bloomfield, who played guitar, and Nicky Hopkins on piano. Other guests include Mark Naftalin, Orville "Red" Rhodes, and others of the "stable" of SF musicians. A lot of their stuff is on YouTube.

Today I've been kickin' back with some vintage Paul Shanklin.
Chick Corea, Return to Forever
Amazing how well it holds up after all these years.

The Black Crowes released a new cover album, 1972.
I am enjoying it.
We won't hold that against you.Quote:

So I’ve decided now to dig in deeply. Not only is the music powerful, Wagner is a strong composer of melodies.
Listening to classical through the years has implicitly taught me a lot about theory and arrangement. I’m learning a lot now. Just loving it all and very excited to nerd out.
And on a side note, the Giles Martin mixes of The Beatles Revolver are glorious.
I checked those out on Apple Music and can’t wait to listen through a proper hi fi setQuote:

This shit is like throwing a Molotov coquetel into a cellar loaded with gunpowder. Raw hate.
I’m reading Paul Ree’s biography of John Entwistle, The Ox. So I’ve been listening to him and The Who. I’d never given the album My Generation a chance. Played it yesterday, and it friggin’ rocks. The guitars are mostly clean, showing hat you don’t need distortion to rock. It’s now one of my favorite Who albums. They began on solid ground!
Bluegrass, and bluegrass...

Look up Michael Cleveland - arguably the best fiddle player in the world. Born blind, from Indiana, and there's a documentary about him out there on YouTube too.
