  13 cats groovin in this small room 

Horns movin a lot of air around

Seeing and hearing all this in an intimate setting, wow

It doesn’t get any better than this 😊

Good times. I wasn't there in '88, I was in '89. *1990.    I've had some good ones since then too, but those were the formative years for me and those guys were gods of strings. This was right after Béla's "Drive" album came out, and a major course change for me musically speaking...


I'll post the Drive Playlist, it's this group, but with Mark Schatz on bass, and Stuart Duncan joining Mark O'Connor on fiddle. It's one of those records I just play all the way through... no hitting the next track.

Yeah, these guys have made just a little bit of amazing music together.......

My introduction to them collaborating was Strength In Numbers; Jerry, Sam, Bela, Mark, and Tony with Edgar Myer on bass.  Caught a whole-set video from Telluride late one night.  Called a friend next day to rave, and told him I wasn't sure if I was listening to The Bill Monroe Consort or Paul Winter And The Bluegrass Boys.......

Leland Sklar on bass with The Doors.
Just heard this for the first time.

[cozmik_cowboy]

Wow!  As a youngster, I had all the Doors albums with Jim - a college friend also had Other Voices & Full Circle; they remain to this day the only copy of either that I have ever seen.
Up until now, I hadn't heard this since 1976.  It isn't their best, but would have OK, if they'd cut the first section.......

Nerd rock.  I will make no furthur comment:

I remember watching that one!

I read somewhere a while back Carlos had taken a bad fall and broken some fingers in his left hand. 😬 Surgery to repair was pending... wonder how that's progressing?

BIG AND BOUNCY      some great space rock in the middle, then a big rave up at the conclusion

My favorite band, East Nash Grass is playing at a small venue here in Roanoke this evening... me and my buddy Ted are going to take in the show. I'm hoping to run into them in town somewhere today. (like at the store... not far from where they are playin' downtown)


I ain't one of these people that videos the whole dadgum show and posts it, but maybe I can get ENG to do "Big River" for us. (they just kill that one)
