DD- That Silvertone sounds absolutely incredible! And the way Llamar tickles that Ham is just amazing.
I greatly enjoyed listening to a session/ discussion with Booker T also on NPR Tiny Desk. It was really neat to hear him talk about his inspirational beginnings.
I'm guessing that you're familiar with Trombone Shorty and Reggie Watts as well?
A little bit of this
and a little bit of that
...to pick up some songs and put them together for our next gig's set list.
A simple song, only about five chords for the whole thing. It's a monologue to music. I've been working on playing it, both acoustic and electric.
And -- much to my disappointment -- I just learned Crosby and Friends are performing locally tomorrow night. And no more tickets available...
(Jerry Garcia on guitar, Phil Lesh on bass -- crushing it -- and Mickey Hart. Essentially, a San Francisco "Who's Who" on this album).
rocking to a lot of some local band, you probably never heard of them, some band called AerosmithEarly stuff, pre-break up & reunionification
On another forum, someone asked, "Who is the old guy with the Stratocaster?" Turns out it's Erlend Krauser.
I have a cassette tape by him, dated 1994, titled "Flight of the Phoenix." I bought it when I was searching out new music types. He faded from sight (at least in the U.S.) and wound up playing with James Last for over twenty years.
He's released a new album. This is from that album.
Can't stop enjoying this
I saw them live around 78 or 79. They rocked.Originally Posted by Sérgio

Would've loved to have seen The Outlaws back in the day bust sadly never did. Green Grass & High Tides was one incredibly inspirational song for me. To this day it still just blows me away... such an energetic and driving tune. Just listening to it almost wears me out.
I've been into funk comping lately...digging Bruce Conte.

Tower of Power, "What is Hip?" -- one of the truly classic foot-stompin', shake yer booty, can't-sit-still tunes! Good stuff.
By chance, I tuned into a Pandora station I had created a couple of years ago, and was greeted by this classic gem:
right now Genius is treating me to a shuffle of my 7.8 days worth of tunes on my hard drive
Low Spark is among my favorite songs of all time

I stumbled on these at B&G. If you stop slavering at the Honduran HOG behind him he plays rather nicely. A musicians musician.
A second. Toto required.
Man, I LOVE this thread!!
Today (March 9) is Robin Trower's birthday. He turns 73 (born in 1945). As a tribute, I'm running a bunch of Trower tunes through the store's audio system. So sue me.
Wow! 73 years old and Robin Trower is still rocking! And your store rocks too! We need more of both!
You all have good taste in music! That stuff is me!
And "live from Darrell's house" is good stuff too! Need more shows like that on tv!

OS, crank it up! There are a few people I've never seen live that I would go to see, and Trower is one of them.

Listening to some Paul Collins's Beat. Great, great, great old stuff.
Such solid songwriting stripped down guitar-driven pop.
Every aspiring guitar player should cover Look but Don't Touch. Loaded with solid examples of power chords, mutes, dynamics, a blues-derived hook. Man, it's a clinic on how to play R&R at it's very core.
"The Beat" is a great album that spotlights a special time in power pop before over-production became the rule and not the exception.

"No harmonic knowledge, no sense of time, a ghastly tone, unskilled vibrato, and so on. Chuck is one of the worst guitar players I know" -Gravity Jim
I picked up Dire Straits "Love Over Gold" and Golden Earring "Moontan" in the last week or so. Just dubbed them both onto a cassette to listen to in my car. Yeah, cassette player in the car still works even though the CD player is shot. I wore it out.
I'm listening to some Greatful Dead.
I've heard about those guys, just a flash in the pan. They'll never last as long as The Grateful Dead
I am in awe! and stuck on a band called "Back Door Slam"! I just found out about Davey Knowles ? Roll Away! This is big!!! I feel like i've had my head in the sand for years! I dunno?
Black Label Society: Grimmest Hits. Damn good songs with killer guitar. The song "The Only Word" scary Duane Allman type tone. Gave me chills.
Always good to have another Dead Head aboard!
I'm listening to Crow.
Guys, I don't mean to spam here, but these guys (Crow) were really great. I can't stop listening to them.
Mosaic is also a great album!
Well, I'm listening to The Greatful Dead again today.
Do you also like what Bob, Phil and the guys are doing with John Mayer (Dead and company)? They're constantly on tour now and I really like the way they are playing the Dead songs without derailing them too much, though Mayer sure ain't trying to be Jerry there.
I don't follow them and don't really have a positive or negative view of it. Mayer's a killer player and I have, IMO, his best cd when he did The John Mayer Trio with Steve Jordan on drums and Pino Pallidino on bass. Decades ago when the dead were doing different stuff I went and saw Bob Weir in Bobby and the Midnights. Just wasn't the same for me.
Watching baseball with the sound off and Corrosion of Comformity's Blind playing in the back ground.
Man, you DEFINITELY should check them out! IMHO Dead and Company is the closest we can ever get To seeing the original GD today
The cd...
I need to dub that album to a cassette, the only time I get to listen to music is in the car and my CD player died. The tape deck still works, though.
No new stereo until Apple Play becomes available as aftermarket. I'm not buying a new car just for the stereo. Well, I would if I could but I can't.
A guitar player that isn't mentioned very often, which I find strange, considering he's been playing professionally since he was fifteen (lead guitar for the then unnamed Jefferson Starship), Craig Chaquico. This is from Once In A Blue Universe:
This is Craig Chaquico on Flowers of the Night, from Baron von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun, one of my top favorite guitar solos...
Rubber Soul, British version with all 14 songs!
