Sonny Sharrock. Somewhere, I have a guitar slide he gave me after I took care of him at a show he played at my college in 1991 or 1992.

And now for something completely different but the same. I keep getting new artist pushed on to me by applemusic and youtube.

This was really nice!

Sonny Sharrock – electric guitar
Pharoah Sanders – tenor and soprano saxophones
Elvin Jones – drums
Charnett Moffett – double bass

Will have to listen to more of his recordings.  Thanks!

He can get pretty noisy, but for a free jazz exponent, he can play a gorgeous melody. He was a really nice guy, and had fantastic stories.

Margo's band took First Prize at Clifftop in the traditional category up in West Virginia this past weekend. 

I imagine they're all headed for Galax, Virginia now. 

I posted a Cate Le Bon song in the Time Sink thread. Here's another song, with her singing in Welsh.

An utterly bizarre, but beautiful language. 

No vowels or spaces.

EP 9 from Vince's 50 Years From Home dropped last night. I almost slept through it. 


I wonder just how many more songs that cat has in bin somewhere? I don't think he has any thoughts it's going to lead to some big career resurgence. He's just doing what he does.

Beautiful. When I was in the hospital for a few weeks back in 2021, I watched a lot of SRV videos.

Angine De Poitrine. 
Bit odd and off, but find it somewhat compelling

I managed to get my first speeding ticket in 18 years listening to Angine de Poitrine.

Odd and off is fun.  

Wish to acknowledge that playing multilayered instrument parts on guitar and bass (with intriguing fret spacing*) whilst balancing on one foot and simultaneously twiddling knobs and switches with the other foot's toes is impressive AF!!!!!
🤯😳🤪

*research indicates it is 24 frets per octave for microtonal ability.   Why not make things more difficult? 😄
