WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

Barenberg Douglas and Meyer played the Boulder Theater when this album came out, a buddy of mine and I taped it from our table close to the stage.  I’ll have to dig up that tape.  And Edgar is amazing!

Live Jorma Now...

I really dig that guitar of his. (saw/heard it up close a couple years ago)

Hey jazzyvee,
 this popped up on my feed...Joan looks good!

I’d come across Susan Alcorn through my brother, who is a pedal steel player. I saw today that the New York Times rates her brief album “Pedernal” among the best jazz albums of 2020. This is pedal steel for the not faint of heart.

I had a buncha' windshield time today, and reconnected with Hawktail. This is one of Brit's originals, and I can't help but wonder if she didn't gender-adjust Hartford's "Boatman" for a title, if not a snippet of melody.

(technically, Boatman, Boatmen, or Boatman's Dance, all derivatives of the same tune. Fiddlers... gotta' love 'em.     )

Happy 77th, Mr. Betts!

E-mailing back & forth with my youngest about the loss of Charlie Pride (he's a major fan), he hipped me to this kid; this is the second song I've listened to - but I think I need to go deep.  Nice to hear a youngster doing country music!

Etta!

[lbpesq]

That one sure brings back the memories!   That’s the Tower of Power horn section.  I think this may have been my last NYE show.

Bill, tgo

I liked it when Etta told Jerry to talk to the hand

DEAR PRUDENCE.


 It wasn't bad enough seeing them on Ed Sullivan, but it was Paul's bass lines that utterly and completely drew me in.  The loopy, sliding, and walking he does under this one was an eye-opener, and what I really had in mind:  It ought to be 'too busy', but between what he played and how they fit it into the chart, this was just magical to my teenage self, and still a milestone for me all these many, many years later.

I wish McVie would write a book. Just some thoughts from a self-taught player with a gift for hearing the space between notes, for us hard-headed guys that need reassurance it can be done.

I've been trying (unsuccessfully, thus far) to figure out Station Man. Part of what he plays dubs the guitars, an octave down, the pedalled ones groove a really odd pattern with Mick, and at times seem to counter the guitars. I'm imagining they argued about several bars of it.

This live cut from May '75 is interesting. It's L. Buck on guitar by that time... but who's on the second guitar? Would that have been Ray Lindsey that far back? Did Waddy ever tour with them...? I know he played in the Buckingham/Nicks roadshow.

Anyway, safe bet this is McVies Alembic here too-

By golly, I think I've finally got it! Had to use "phone-a-friend" of sorts for some help. That tune was driving me to distraction.
