When I worked 50-60 hours a week, I used to listen to this longingly . . . . now maybe significant in other ways.

Here's another (from the other thread) just for you Joey, 'cause I know you like this particular album. Kinda' abstract Fleetwood Mac for today... can't wait to get home and try this one!

I heard a VERY interesting interview from Huey Lewis (on some late night show ) anyhow he was telling of when he went to Europe as a youth, lost his passport and how he handled the situation and how it became a turning point for his life.

OK, Greg, here we go into My Back Pages:  Obscure British blues-rock from way back when I strapped on a Gibson Ripper (my 1st bass) in the late 70's, stood in front of the stereo and thought, 'Now What?'.

What is it with the Brits and 'Hi Yo Silver'?  Did they all watch American Westerns?

Here's an inspired mash-up of a reworked 'Honey Hush', the Big Joe Turner tune, by Foghat, made even more fascinating by grafting it onto the 'Train Kept A Rollin' riff:

Then the example you want when you tell someone what a wah-wah pedal does, my favorite use of one in a song.  Dave Mason, from ALONE TOGETHER, 'Shouldn't Have Took More Than You Gave' (recorded by most of the band from MAD DOGS and ENGLISHMEN, Leon's crew):

We'll have to have an extended conversation about that one sometime... way up on my bucket-list of stuff to do is visit the U.K. and one of the things on the punch-list while there is to try and figure out some of the cultural exchange with our British cousins. No idea how Hi-ho or Hi-yo Silver entered their musical vernacular at that time, but I'll bet the answer is fascinating.

Dead & Co. have been putting up a show every Saturday night... last week's was 6/30/2018, Eugene, Oregon... I thought this was a pretty nice Peggy-O.

McCoy Tyner. I discovered a stash of his albums. Amazing stuff.

If you get confused...

I was at that show . At that time I was a student of Mr. Leo De Gar Kulka at The College for Recording Arts at Golden State Recorders  and I had a studio ID credential . I heard through the " grapevine " that this record release show  was invitation only and / or industry ID . I showed up early as is my style and procured several invitations for my self and musician friends . ** We were all very Grateful that day !!!!!!!!!!!!! **  The Early Crows get the shows !

[rv_bass]

That’s awesome Wolf, what a show to see, one of my all time favorite shows and recordings! When I had a car, city dweller now, there were two CDs that live permanently in the glove box, this one and American Beauty

[sonicus]

I love that era of The Dead as well .
