Not sure whether it's the incoming Summer Solstice or the Honey Moon, but I got the call from Hoops McCann, so my annual Donald and Walter mania has begun, it's Perfection and Grace, the smile on my face.  I AM going back to My Old School !
 
-Citizen Steely Dan (the compilation)
-Alive in America (with 'Josie' now transposed down to D, a high fastball 'Bhoddisatva' with Dennis Chambers on drums, a sublime live 'Aja')
-Two Against Nature
-Everything Must Go
 
Donald's . . . .
 
-The NightFly (my favorite cover of 'Ruby,Ruby' with Michael Omartian's piano solo and Abraham Laboriel's bass lines)
-Kamakirriad  
-The New York Rock and Soul Review (with my favorite versions of 'Pretzel Logic' and 'Chain Lightning':  who knew they were nuts for The Rascals?)
-Sunken Condos
 
and Walter's . . .  
 
-Eleven Tracks of Whack (it's whacked, alright . . .)
-Circus Money  
 
I'm constantly dumbfounded at how well Walter covers bass and guitar, and even more dumbfounded no one ever mentions this.  See if YOU can play both of his parts on 'Gaslighting Abbie' !
 
THIS oughta keep me busy for a while.  Guess I'll take my big black cow and get outa here . . .

I still didn't edit enough:
 
The bass lines on 'Gaslighting Abbie' are from Tom Barney, WB plays bass and guitar on five of the nine tracks on 'Two Against Nature', including the title track.
 
OOPS.

Pete Seeger's Turn! Turn! Turn! (to Everything There Is a Season) played by the officiating minister at my 84 year old father's funeral service on Saturday. Had absolutely no idea until then that most of the lyrics,are adapted word-for-word from Chapter 3 of the Book of Ecclesiastes.

My thoughts are with you, Brian, with the passing of your father.

Thanks guys.
 
The passing of my Dad was pretty much expected as he was 85 and in poor health.  As these things go, it probably went as well as it could. I got to spend 4 days with him awake and alert after he was rushed to the hospital in what we were told was a comatose state from which he it unlikely he would awake. He got to see all of his kids, grand kids, and his great granddaughter (my first grandchild) and speak with them while he was still with us. His passing away peacefully while he slept was the easy part. Its the family squabbling over what he left that makes me glad I'm here in Minnesota while most of the family is in Connecticut.

It's good you got a chance to spend time with him at the end...I'm glad I got to with my Mom at the end; I think she was relieved that it was all over. Life had been a mess for her for a long time so I think in a weird way she was kinda glad...Alas for me there was a bunch of stuff I wanted to get the truth on (she wasn't very good at that) that I just didn't ask about to keep her peace, so now I'll never know...oh well...Tony.
 
CRAP! let's get back on thread people!!!!

Jack Bruce: Silver Rails & Ratdog: Live at the Northrup 6/13/14
 
Jacks voice has gotten a bit thin but the guy can still play.
 
Listening to the recorded version of the Bob Weir and Ratdog Concert I saw last Friday evening at the newly renovated  Northrup Auditorium in Minneapolis, MN. First time a recorded version of a concert has had a lot better sound than I heard live. Live, the bass was mush and the vocals at time unable to be understood. On the recording,  you can actually hear individual notes.

sometimes the soundman is listening to the board and sometimes the room; in this case clearly the former...Tony

This is fun!  Phil w/ John Scofield, Warren Haynes, Jeff Chementi, and Joe Russo.  Sunshine of Your Love into Loose Lucy, with a middle section that Jazzyvee might find interesting.
