I was relistening to the link that Dave posted a few pages back and then spiraled down the YouTube wormhole and ended up listening to  Rachmanioff Piano concerto no 2 op18.  Wow. 

It blows my mind that a person created this..... i think if you added up all of the beautiful musical thoughts I've ever had in my life, you might get a half bar of music as beautiful as this.  So many parts interwoven so perfectly.

And Mick from his one album.    The pic in the vid is c. 1980; Singing Bananas: The Group With Appeal (yes, feel free to groan) L-R Dean Milano, Jeff Smith & Mick.

It's Thanksgiving - so it's mandatory!

Enjoyed the Arlo yesterday Coz. I listened in my car, mostly because I hadn't heard Alice's Rest. in a while, but also because I knew it was going to take at least 20 minutes to get where I was going. ;)

I'm decorating my office this morning, and listening to Manheim Steamroller in a loop.

Hey Coz, curious... do you know what is the small-bodied guitar Jim Post is pictured with in the "Wendigo" video? Picture is a little fuzzy, but it looks to be about a size 1 or 2, and appears to have a Martin/Stauffer-style pyramid bridge.

Our neo-oldtyme band New River Bound is finishing up tracking and beginning final mixes on our project next month. (January) The tune we've kinda' leaned towards as a 'title cut' is an original called "'Til Winter Breaks". I've been trying for a while to come up with a bass counterpoint to the guitar intro, because it just seemed so stark alone. The other day I heard James Taylor's "Millworker" again, and was deeply inspired... going to come up with something along those lines. :)

It's just so much more with that bass part underneath. Hope Jimmy J won't mind me borrowing a couple textures from it.  ;D

Like I said, Greg, he's an old friend -  I haven't seen him in way too long, or seen him play in even longer (I'm talking decades).  I never saw him with anything other than a Gurian, and that ain't it.  I need to look him up one of these days; when I do I'll ask him.


And now, just for the sheer WTF factor:

Revisiting some Melvin Gibbs and Defunkt.



This album is one of the things that made me who I am.

Golly that's a fast bass part in the second link!

I've been listening to Dan Crary's "Holiday Guitar" album this morning... it's a neat instrumental collection of fairly obscure carols. For instance:

I've always liked this song for the lead guitar part, and it just came to mind as I was thinking of trem bars.  Wonderful touch on the trem, and beautiful tone.  Found a nice live take; Wicked Game.

And here's the same tune with the original guitar player, James Wilsey.

Love "Wicked Game", Dave! Chris has a lot of good stuff, but that one, IMHO, is his masterpiece!

I found a good one on Netflix:  Loreena McKennitt.
Concert from the Alhamba; chick singer whose speaking accent suggests 'Murkin/Canuck, but her stuff is firmly Celtic-based.  Besides singing, she alternates between grand piano, accordian, & harp (Celtic, not mouth).
Her band has 4 percussionists (traps, mounted, hand drums, and tablas), bass (alternates between electric & doghouse), cello, violin (both carbon fiber), a strange Arabic thing - 3 strings, bowed, held upright in the lap, scale about 10", hurdy-gurdy, zither, and, at various times, electric & acoustic guitar, octave mandolin (or could be a bouzouki), viola, clarinet, keys, and 2 lutes. I may have forgotten some........
A pleasant hour+
