WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

I listened to a couple of the interviews w/ Bob Weir about the idea for the project too. Very interesting. Love that little Martin 00 he's playing... it's got just the voice for cowboy music.

I'm listening to some old recordings today I did with my buddy Tony Collins several years ago. He would have been 56 today. I ran into him again, in a short dream sequence last weekend... he was sitting in one of those folding canvas festival chairs. I say- Hey man, where you been so long? He says he's been real busy, too busy to pick, but we'll get together sometime.

Here he was playing at a little jam with his kids a few years ago. Guitar solo at 2:10.

Damn, I miss that guy.

This was playing in my car a few minutes ago, on this morning's very rainy pre-dawn commute. The melancholy was a perfect match. I love the little fills being done on a fretless bass, but have no idea who played them. It's a Don Henley tune, but this take is from an Eagles live cd.

According the personnel listing on Wikipedia, the only bassist on that cut was Timothy B. Schimt (except the ones in the Burbank Philharmonic).

That was some cool stuff he played... it's been in my head all morning.

E-o-H, here's Henley's original album version;  this is essentially Toto backing him, with Pino Palladino on fretless MusicMan, back when his fretless sound was the hot ticket in the 80's (his work with Paul Weller on the cut 'Burn Your Playhouse Down' with the fretless + Boss Octave box was a minor milestone).  After my wife died, every time I listened to this cut, I'd burst out in tears, only recently I can hear it with some normalcy.  Great tune.

Very nice version of Starless!  Thanks!

After a few days' tutorial on Pino fretless madness (Thanks Joey) I seem to have stumbled back into Gordon Lightfoot again by way of Rick Haynes. I've been trying to learn this tune for the oldtyme band:

Then I remembered how much I came to like this one during some particularly bad times a few years ago:

...if you plan to face tomorrow, do it soon."

After seeing mention of this project in Jimmy's thread, I just listened to this.  Dewa Budjana, Jimmy Johnson, and Vinnie Colaiuta.  Great playing from all three musicians; and a really nice piece of progressive music.

My laptop's audio out isn't working, so I had to listen to it on the laptop speakers; still sounded great.  And Jimmy had some really nice breaks.  Hoping to get my sound fixed soon so I can hear this one again through my stereo.

Been listening to this in my shop this week... I love the upright *zing* on these two cuts from Lyle Lovett's 1994 album- "I Love Everybody". I'm not sure, because a lot was happening for me musically at that time, but I think this was a big part of what made me want to string my bass with some Spirocores and explore beyond just the precision-timed roots and fives in bluegrass bands. I pretty much had that down by that time...

Got a USB adapter today to hopefully fix my sound problems.  So I played the Budjana piece again, and I could hear Jimmy clearly.  His playing is wonderful; very nice fills, and great solo playing.
