Mike; great lineup on the My Back Pages video!
 
And Wolf; the video on that version shot in SF is pretty cool too!

Mike Stern's 'Time In Place'.
 
I had a bunch of tunes on a cassette tape for over 20 years and never knew what any of the tracks were.I'd labelled it 'Mystery Fusion Stuff' and I was scared to play it in case it got chewed up,and figured I'd never find out what any of the cuts were.Thanks to the Shazam app I've been able to identify most of them after all this time.Along with Frank Gambale's 'Legends' and 'The Tardis',this is a real highlight.

So I paused the rehearsal recording I was listening to so I could hear the Mike Stern song (I still can't get over how he is now to how fat he was with Miles..) anyway, just went back to rehearsal recording as I type this and it's kinda like going from a nice hotel wedding party to getting drunk with the dumpster divers out back scrounging the leftovers...I think I will always be closer to the dumpsters, which is funny as I am a goldsmith by training and work in a pawnshop so I have more gold go through my hands than most people see in a lifetime; damn I LOSE diamonds in my workshop, but tiny ones worth a few bucks each...still...anyway if anyone cares to listen, they'res some Rumsfeld tunes at reverbnation.com/rumsfeld and I don't know if they're the good recordings of the songs or not as I haven't checked in awhile; my drummer does that stuff...Tony.

I'm a big fan of 'Live from Daryl's House'.  One of the episodes, he had Booker T. Jones guesting, and Daryl reached back for this gem:
 

 
. . . . Eddie Floyd's 'Never Found a Girl', which Booker T co-wrote and produced the side back in the day when Stax was a powerhouse.  Can't argue with him, one of my favorite tunes as well, and rockets me right back into the heyday of Soul music, somewhere I'm very happy.
 
Daryl's a great 'white soul singer', and without the baggage that usually drags with it, and a great student of his hometown Philly-style and all the rest.  I really dug the episodes with Smokey and Shelby Lynne, and Joe Walsh and Billy G turned in good days as well.

Nice video Joey.  I've seen a number of great jams on Live From Daryl's House; two of my favorites were the ones they did with Todd Rundgren.  Most of the good stuff is no longer up on Daryl's site; but thanks to you, I've found that some is up on youtube.  Here's , shot at Todd's house.

Thanks for that, I did not know about Daryl's house; I will explore it now; so much good stuff!...the Todd Rundgren  song has a very different feel from the rest as it's in a different place; must be amazing to ask Booker T and Billy Gibbons, etc. to come over to your place to play some tunes with your band...Tony

Daryl's House is great fun.  Super band.
 
On a different note; my wife and I saw Birdman yesterday,
The score for the movie is AWESOME,
 
I was going to reveal it, but I think it is best served unannounced. If you have the time and don't mind spending a few bucks for a movie, you should see Birdman.  As I was watching I kept getting caught up in the score - saying, I got to know who this is.
 
If you don't want to see the movie then do a web search of Birdman score.

Death Don't Have No Mercy, 10-9-1989 Hampton, Va.
 
I saw Phil & Friends do it at the 1967 show a week ago Friday and it's been in my head ever since.  I'll be jamming with Wolf and some other guys this afternoon ... think I'll introduce it to the group.
 
Bill, tgo

Since Paul doesn't want to reveal the score, don't follow this link.  So Paul, is this it?

Dave, that is indeed the soundtrack.
However the 'score' played throughout the movie was done by Antonio Sanchez - and THAT is what is so very captivating, punctuating and appropriate for the action on screen.

Just returned from a roadtrip trip to Boone/Blowing Rock, North Carolina, where I did a couple gigs with my 2nd cousin. The Persuader can cut a Country Blues-Ragtime gig too!  
 
Anyway, had a couple hundred miles to myself in the car, and listened to the (mostly forgotten) 1995 Fleetwood Mac album, Time. The band personnel at the time was Mick Fleetwood, John, & Christine McVie, with Dave Mason and Billy Burnette on guitars, and Bekka Bramlett as vocalist. I liked the whole album, but Mick's haunting narrative on the last track, These Strange Times presumably a tribute to Peter Green, really stuck with me as I climbed up Fancy Gap on I-77N back into Virginia.
 
Full album:

accidental find - Dennis Chambers with Gary Grainger on bass - this is pretty sweet.  Obviously recorded drum heavy.

PS - I love Darryl's house too.  I bet it's fun to visit.
