Cortez the Killer


edit again.


I just spent nearly the last hour listening to different artists  covering Neil’s song. 
Yes I am one dimensional at times....


Do yourself a favor, YouTube Cortez the Killer, find an artist you appreciate and listen to their version.  There are many, many great versions of this song, or just see how many versions you can listen to before you tire of it.

That would make 2 of us one-dimensional, then; last night I spent over 2 hours checking different versions of "Little Wing"........

Wandering around the YT sidebars, I just discovered SaRon Crenshaw:

Peter (who loves finding a good bluesman he's never heard of)

Yessir. That's how it's done, right there.

Listened to Norman Blake a lot last night while setting up this new-to-me Martin 00-17S...


Here's the Rising Fawn String Ensemble with Tommy Jackson guesting on frailed banjo-

...and on that note, I believe I'll head down to Galax, Virginia this afternoon to the 84th Annual Old Fiddlers Convention, where there's a field full of folks playing this music.

So that means I am “normal”?

Thanks for the Norman Blake.  Have fun at Galax!  Will you be playing on stage?  What instruments are you taking?

Nadja Kossinskaja - Oblivion by Astor Piazzolla

Nadja Kossinskaja - Oblivion by Astor Piazzolla

Very nice!  But I think I'll be looking up whether "Oblivion" was written before or after "Summertime"..........

Peter (who last night dove into a slew of "Summertime" versions like he did with "Little Wing" a few days ago; dig it, Paul)

[cozmik_cowboy]

For the record:
"Summertime" - 1935
"Oblivion" - 1982

Seems Gershwin might have something actionable here.......

Piazzolla can put one in a sentimental mood ...

I just brought a mandolin and guitar... Dad already had a bass down there. Mostly I just wanted to hang out for the day, visit folks I only ever see at that festival, and maybe squeeze in a little jam time. Got caught up in backing up some friends and my nephew on stage for fiddle and mandolin competition. Since I was registered as a contestant in the mandolin contest too, I figured - why not? So my unbroken streak continues... I've been a contestant since the 52nd Annual Old Fiddlers Convention. (this is the 84th and I've been going to Galax since the 50th when I got old enough to drive myself!) It just feels so wrong to not be there this week, but life unfortunately demanded other things had to happen. Hey, I got in one good day and night after all... I'll be back next year!


No listening for me today. I still hear fiddle music from last night.
