WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

[cozmik_cowboy]

Well, I won't be listening to it much, but as I have mentioned, son #3 is a drummer - learned his craft in my house, in fact.

Guess whose son is getting a 10" hand drum for his 2nd birthday in couple weeks?

Pauldo, you will hear that 'Trout mask Replica' is the pinnacle, and it is in a way, but 'Doc at the Radar Station" is another...check out 'Lick my decals off Baby' though; maybe my favorite of all, but don't listen to it drunk; the musicians are often playing different time signatures against each other; hard to get  a bead on the beat..Tony

I just discovered (thanks to Acoustic Guitar magazine) the 1965 debut (and, in his lifetime, only) album by the tragically forgotten folk singer Jackson S. Frank.

Maybe a not-so-weird coincidence; a guitar-playing coworker mentioned this yesterday evening. I assume it must have been a recent story. I'll have to listen to the whole album up in the shop.

Incidentally, today is his birthday. 

I'm back on a Jack Casady absorption diet, in preparation for seeing Hot Tuna for my first time later this month. I'll spare you guys all the links... 

~Gregory, who can report with confidence the March Winds did not blow his cares away.

[cozmik_cowboy]

Yeah, it was in the issue that came Thursday.

And I think I speak for everybody when I say - give us some links!!!

   well... okay.

They're going to be right here in Roanoke on the 30th... http://www.jeffcenter.org/hottuna ...having played on that very stage myself, the Jefferson Center is a fantastic venue, and as of now, I don't have a gig that Friday night. I'm thinking this is probably going to be a game-changer for me on the musical journey. Kind of like a required reading assignment.

And from the sidebar of Gregory's 1st link, perhaps the prettiest Strat I've ever seen - plus some nice close-ups of 72-01 in action.

That was a great concert, Coz. 

They must have filmed that same venue for a couple days... there is a point during "Water Song" on 3/22/73 that I wonder if maybe that's Mr. W. just behind the stage.

And yes, that bass sounds incredible!

A little Frank Zappa on Brass is starting the week off nicely!

[David Houck]

Peaches En Regalia is the one Zappa tune I've played in a band.  We only had three players, and I was trying to cover more than just the bass part (though on a four string bass), and with results that were often somewhat less than cleanly delivered.  But in the bar where we played every month, it was the favorite of the regulars.

[pauldo]

That tuba!!! Not just the solo part, he was killing it.  Made me giggle.

Heard this song and it brought me joy (intro is a juxtaposition of what lies ahead).

All over the place today;"Europa",  "Hot Summer Day", & "Stealin".


Peter (who likewise dug the brass Zappa)

[David Houck]

Had not heard Hot Summer Day in a long time.  Nice sounding recording.
