Dylan & the Dead recorded Live July 1987
 
Really like Heaven's Door.

Another trip around the sun; the new album from Mastodon...good on first listen, I think it will be a grower like 'The Hunter', their last album...Tony

Garcia, Casady & Dryden : blues jam_____  
Basement jam @ 2400 Fulton St.  in 1968
 
I really like this ____ !  
 
I grew up in the neighborhood there. My parents moved down the street to 9th and Fulton in 1959 when I was 3 years old.
 

Jerry Garcia's last interview  
 

Nikhil Banerjee & Ali Akbar Khan - Raga Manj Khammaj
 
 
 

Canadian Brass - Toccata and Fugue in d minor - J. S. Bach
 

 
I seriously am a firm believer that listening to BACH will make you jam better!
I have been a fan since I was an infant when my father would play me his reel to reel tape collection . ____We were listening buddies.

For me, the great thing about the 4th of July is getting to hear all that marching music, which somehow I have a soft spot for.
 
These guys are really, really good at it:

Why am I surprised that the United States Marine Band has it's own YouTube channel?  Do they get royalties from Hohner?  Does anyone play a Marine Band harp in the USMB?
 
What a gig !  Great outfits, you get paid, play really swank venues, eat good, paid rehearsals (!).  I wonder if you go through basic first and get qualified with an M16 . . . and the haircuts go in and out of style. Plus, they don't have to sub-contract out for a pyro company should they want to do the '1812 Overture'  ! !
 
'This is my trombone, there are many like it, but this one is mine . . .'  
 
Semper Fi, and Jarheads rule !  I love these guys.

Cyril Morin -

Yeah, Joey - the Marine Band at 8th & I (USMC HQ in DC) has always had some pretty fair players; my dad was a jug, as were 2 of his 5 brothers, (one a 25-year, 3-war man), so when they came around once when I was a teenager (early '70s, Viet Nam going & all), we all went - period, no argument brooked.  I gotta say, as an anti-militarist hippie, I was fully set on not enjoying it - but DAMN those boys could play!!!!  And yeah, the red jackets (oops - sorry to any gyrenes out there - blouses) & white pants looked badass.
A high school friend of mine - euphonium player - considered that as one of the few kick-ass euphonium gigs going, he should sign up. Then he talked to the recruiter.  You enlist with a MOS of combat infantry, and work your way through various unit bands to (maybe) a chance to audition for The President's Own.   In the meantime, you're a rifleman, with no guarantee of ever tooting note one.
He let that one slide.  
And I think you mean The haircuts go in and out of fashion.  One is in or out of fashion, but has or does not have style - and the 2 have little if any relationship.
 
Peter (who spent his car time today on Blues For Allah, but is playing more than listening at home; the back surgery somehow took what little fluidity my fingers had, so.......)

Bought a Tibetan Singing Bowl at Summerfest today.
 
Listening to my wife playing it.
 
Ommmm.

Those Tibetan bowls sound wonderful; very cool that you have one.

I have one too .

The one we got is tuned for the Root Chakra, which traditionally is a C.
I checked last night and it is actually a C#; which works well with my digiridoo which is F#.  
 
Might need to experiment with meditative recordings. . .

Let us know when you have something recorded.

Our local Unitarian-Universalist church has a set of 5; sometimes they'll start a service by setting them to singing one at a time; by the time the last one joins in, you can just feel all the negative crap just flow out your feet.........
