Gregory & Peter ,      You are both correct ;I believe Hank Sr wrote that tune. Amy's voice put a spell on me !

There was a thread on another forum yesterday where you were supposed to post what the first song you ever learned was. I honestly can't remember which was first... it was a bunch at once really, but it was about 1986 that I started playing bass. I would sneak the ol' man's bass out of the case and play along with cassette tapes of music I liked.  
 
I wore this one out:

My first song was Yesterday. I learned the melody on my brother's Hofner bass.

My first two (I can't remember which came first) were I Feel Free and Questions 67 & 68 (played in a horn band in high school and college that did a lot of Chicago).

Going Down The Road Feeling Bad, I know You Rider, and/or my friend Eric Nicholson's Captain America; learned them at the same time (I have vague memories of CA being first, but it was in the same day).

All Along The Watchtower, ca. 1973

When I got my first bass as a birthday gift in 1965 I learned how to play the entire first Byrds LP so I guess Mr. Tambourine Man was the first but I can't be sure.  
 
I have better memory of the first song I learned to play in a band. I was the only person in the eighth grade who even had a bass so I was asked to play with some friends for the Jr. High talent show. When we gathered to rehearse they wanted to learn Twist and Shout. We put on the record to learn it and they were impressed that after one listen I had picked up the intro line. We rehearsed the same tune over and over until we got thrown out of the drummer's house by his parents. The next day was the audition for the talent show and we passed. We were also offered a gig at a dance, little did they know we only knew one song at that point. We ended up winning the talent show and pulling together enough material to play the gig. Rock music was still pretty simple in 1966...

Whoops; sorry folks.  I've been focused on some non-music things and have slacked off on my practicing and listening.  But I'm back to practicing every day, and spent a good bit of time a few nights ago listening to Chopin.
 
Brian; thanks for that wonderful account of Ungud!  I did find Krasnoyarsk on the map.
 
I've probably posted this one before, but here's a wonderful performance of my favorite Chopin piece, , played by Valentina Igoshina.  It's just an amazing piece of music.
 
I have some catching up to do.

Peter, I just watched the Strength In Numbers video (well, I did skip through the vintage static).  That was wonderful!  The duet between Bela Fleck and Edgar Myer was pretty special; the things that Myer can do on bass are amazing.  But the whole concert was wonderful.  Great band!  Thanks for that!

Peter; I kinda disagree.  Let Me Sing Your Blues Away has a pretty cool chord progression and movement.  Here it is by ; listening to this makes me think it would be really fun to play.
 
However, the Dead apparently only played it live six or seven times; so I'm guessing they weren't all that taken with it either.

I really like Let Me Sing Your Blues Away but unfortunately have only gotten to play it live once. Agree about the chord progression. I don't think the Dead played it much because Keith sang lead, it requires all the vocal harmony parts to sound good and there is a horn solo on the recording. To my ears there is really something special about Wake of the Flood and fall of 73 GD in general.

Absolutely loving the new Terry Adams CD Talk Thelonious which as the title implies is Terry's arrangements of classic Thelonious Monk songs performed by NRBQ plus assorted guests. Some of the most unique, heartfelt and successful interpretations of Monk tunes ever recorded. Who else would have ever thought to have pedal steel on Straight No Chaser? Superb record and recording most of it performed live.

John; that's a very nice, and very different, arrangement of Safety Dance.  Had never heard of the band.
