I hear these guys get all their instruments road-ready at The Scroll Shop ( . . . . well, probably not the accordion . . . . . ).


What in the world is the accordion player wearing on his head?

They never give a good look, but my best bet is grey squirrel.
Which reminded me of this one:

Lotta' stories got started in that dusty shed, but I can't claim that one Joey. ;D


True story though, one of my best buds, (happens to be Director of Utilities over in the next Township east of here) absolutely LOVES those guys. And Hayseed Dixie. Tells me all the time I need a gig like that. By the way, he's the other 'Joey' in my phone contacts! :)

‘‘Tis a small world..
the lead singer of Hayseed Dixie was a student at UWM (?), in Milwaukee back in the 80’s.  He would show up at one of the open jams at what could best  be described as a ‘dive bar’.  The place was such a Dive that they allowed Dexter Bracket to be the Host Band for a month way back in a blurry memory....

I digress, John was looking for a bassist to back him on stage for his solo stuff, so we played a few shows, just acoustic backed by a Distillate and John’s voice.  We also recorded a half dozen or so songs on a DAT...
Graduation came, he moved back south and shortly there after started Hayseed Dixie.

John’s solo material was solid stuff.
Found this from a 2016 release, it was a song we played back in the 80’s.

Got a new roof on the (~100-year-old) garage - but the new gutters couldn't go up until I'd replaced some rotted facia.  Wednesday I bought some 1X4, Thursday went out to make 3 cuts & pound 16 nails; no problem.
Well, things were a little more decayed than I'd thought, and I just now finished; 9 hours Thurs, 9 yesterday, and 2 today (ever try to find a match for 100-y-o beadboard???)
All of which is a round-about way of saying I was reminded of my late friend Tom Dundee; Tom sang about things mechanical rather than carpentry, but the process is the same......

Oh cripes...
I might get censored by the moderators.   I am a rather lo-tech guy and like vinyl and most of my YouTube time is spent watching silly stuff, machinist tutorials or crazy soapbox derby races.  Anyhow, my wife’s friend is in town and she has some noise cancelling headphones that she let us test and then she hands me her phone and says here search for whatever you want.

She has Spotify, so when I said I was lo-tech it is also code for “living under a rock”.  I bet most everyone here knows about Spotify.  You search for so and so and it links you to similar stuff and on and on and on... my life has changed and I need to figure out how I can get this setup at work.

I'm surprised, and yet not... not with this crowd's tastes! Just wouldn't have expected to see that title twice today. That's a great project. I keep it in regular rotation up in my shop. (where I've been all day...) I didn't listen to that one this afternoon, but I thought about it!

Well Peter is the master. Though I confess that Chris Thile has some game.

Steve Hackett - Shadow Of The Hierophant Live 2016

Love how this builds towards the climax at the end.

Last night I downloaded some flac recordings for referencing; one of them was this beautiful piece:

Tommy Emmanuel - Soul Search

So, in a YT sidebar, I noticed "The End"; thought "Wow - it's been years since I heard that.  Let's give it a spin!"
About 1/3 in, I thought "Hm - maybe "Celebration Of The Lizard".
Made it maybe 2 minutes.  Am I alone in being thoroughly embarrassed that, as a teenager, I found Morrison's flatulence "deep"?

The Tommy Emmanuel was nice this morning Dave. I think you're on the right track here... that even reminds me of one of your compositions. Especially with the use of ambient effects and string bends together.


*not sure if you meant it that way, but that's what I heard.  :)

The Steve Hackett was great. Loved it.
