WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

[David Houck]

This is wonderful too.  More Bill Frisell; Tiny Desk Concert.

Nowhere Man; In My Life; Strawberry Fields Forever

Love his comments after the second song; especially, as he appears to be looking at a Beatles song book, "now I've got to learn all this stuff; I thought I knew it".

This album had a huge impact in my early days as a bassist, my brother had the vinyl and I had the music book for the whole album with the bass parts in it!!! (wish I still had that).  Playing along with it built confidence.

Anyhow, the album has a few tracks that have seen far too much radio play - none the less, listening to this today reminds me of the joy that this album brought to a pimply faced bass player rocking out in his parents basement:
BTO - Not Fragile

 

[peoplechipper]

some of those BTO songs sound like Clutch; never made the connection before...

[rv_bass]

I used to listen to BTO as a kid, had that Not Fragile album and others...haven't thought about them in a while!


Just watched this video of Ray Brown playing Black Orpheus, nice if you like this kind of stuff...

[cozmik_cowboy]

BTO's all well & good, I guess, but I was always more into this one.

Peter (who did, in fact, sing "American Woman" and "No Time" when they were brand new in his first band as a HS freshman)

I just watched Toto, live, 2015.  Nice concert; and good quality video and sound.

[David Houck]

The Ray Brown piece was nice; thanks!

Peter, you can't deny the influence of Randy Bachman.

Found the Akira Sitake tune . . . Kind of.
Go here and fast forward to 11:20.

It is a short little ditty of his, the haunting melody and probably more so, the way he connects with his banjo really drew me in.

[David Houck]

Busking Comfortably Numb.

At one point, a gust of wind blows away his sign and tip basket; but passers-by recover them while he keeps playing.

[David Houck]

Cheap Trick on Daryl's House

Four guitars, two basses, seven vocal mics, and a wall of sound.

[David Houck]

Tedeschi Trucks Band on Tiny Desk

Good stuff.

[David Houck]

Tedeschi Trucks Band - Keep On Growing

Great live performance.

[David Houck]

And this was absolutely wonderful.

Tedeschi Trucks Band and Friends and Mad Dogs & Englishmen

I found it rather moving; a very fitting tribute to, and in the spirit of, the original.

Back to Tony Rice - anything I can find, but more often than not, Manzanita.

Back to Tony Rice - anything I can find, but more often than not, Manzanita.

That is a very good idea for this morning. The whole album is tops, but here's Tony playing the title cut as a solo.
