Oh wow... I'd never seen that thread before Graeme. I need to think of a good post to revive it again. Like so many others, in the course of learning a song, I just stumbled upon some largely overlooked ingenuity.

David Houck

In that thread, one person wrote that the first time he played Moondance, it was called at a gig.  He thought it would be easy, but he butchered it.
 
I have the vague recollection that the same thing happened to me; it was called at a party I was playing, I thought it would be easy, but when I started playing, I suddenly realized it wasn't as easy as I thought.
 
I have another vague recollection that later I sat down and learned it.  But that's been decades ago, and I doubt I remember it now.

Picked up Tedeschi Trucks Band new disc Let Me Get By (deluxe version with bonus disc).
 
Generally I am drawn to a more bass-centric type bands (not hating on Tim Lefebvre at all) but this band, live, recorded whatever, really strikes a chord in me.  Every member cooperatively brings a bit of themselves that results in music that really blooms.

Stanley Clark and the late but great Roy Buchanan playing the song Adventures Of Brer Rabbit And Tar Baby.

Seems here lately, a lot of our musical heroes have been departing at an accelerated pace... knowing that it's just a normal part of the experience here doesn't make it easier.  
 
I was playing a gig Saturday night, and while on break this tune came across the mp3 random play. The title made me think of my buddy Tony, who died very suddenly last Summer. In addition to being a musical hero, he was a very close friend, a brother really. I sent a quick text to his wife and kids and another close friend while the thought was fresh in my mind.  
 
A little instrumental anthem, for my buddy Tony, and for all Those Who Have Gone Clear recently or long ago:

Springsteen opening show with .  Great tribute, with a wonderful solo from Nils Lofgren.

Gary Willis...Armageddon Blues



Bradley Young

Context: Lost my mom to cancer on Christmas Eve. I've heard this song a lot of times, but something about losing my mom just makes it super poignant.

James Taylor (with Jimmy Johnson!), Fire and Rain:

Joe Jackson's I'm The Man and Look Sharp. Just released remastered lps by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio. I'd forgotten about Graham Maby's bass being featured as the lead instrument on these two great albums. "In heavy rotation"

Jon, my favourite cover of a Joe Jackson song must be by Anthrax #

Graham Maby always credits Joe Jackson for coming up with the basslines. I must have played along to the whole I'm The Man album hundreds of times, as an eager teenager. Good times!
