He's been in the news recently for all the wrong reasons, but this song has been in the back of mind for a while; so here's how I started my day.  It's such a great Motown tune.

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - The Tears Of A Clown

Tears of a Clown truly is a great song…. Says the guy who started his musical career playing bassoon in the 6th grade.

In 1970 (before he became Jimmy J's sideman......) This young man did a 42-minute show for BBC.  He has released a song from that performance here and there, but he just released the whole shebang:

Proof that he doesn’t actually need any of us, we’re just playing along.

Vince is on break from his gig with the Eagles, and loaded up to tour with his bunch. Sounds pretty tight on the set closer here.


I recently watched a long interview with Vince about some of his gear, and I believe this is his old stand-by, a fairly rare white '53 Telecaster. He has another bought years later, but he's had this one since the 70's. He goes into minute detail about its merits in the video.


*here that is, if you wanna' geek out on old Fender and some of Vinnie's stories...

She's still loving me by Morgan Heritage. I have a stand in on guitar gig. It's a reggae musical for a theatre band gig late next month. Got emailed  youtube links to 25 songs on Monday night and had first rehearsal with the band last night. Seemed to go well so got loads to learn fast and that track is one of the many I am not familiar with.
The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

Sierra Hull's Band, at the Outlaw Music Festival last week.

 
In their 3rd/4th season together now, this band is really tight... and it shows.

Metallica posted this on their channel yesterday, playing the adopted anthem for the Virginia Tech Hokies at Lane Stadium earlier this month. (right up the road from me...)


The set closer actually registered as an earthquake,  albeit a minor one. But think about this a minute... 60-some thousand folks stomping around in unison to a metal tune, in a concrete grandstand, registers on the Richter scale. Woah. Lane Stadium must be some good concrete.  😳🤣
