Earworms

Don't know why I got stuck on this. Probably because I saw a news post on Dolores O'Riordan. https://youtu.be/_xOfg6USuT4 Wow. https://youtu.be/x_moGbZ2u-U I can't be with you...and she's pregnant. How cool she's rocking it with a kid on the way? https://youtu.be/zgCxXENi3W0 Again, wow. There are few performers that have that stage presence. https://youtu.be/7eRSwsomVeE Wow. She died … Continue reading Earworms →

Best Beatles Song

Back in the day, the Beatles were all the rage. I had the red best hits, the blue best hits. More I listen, the less I liked them, to be honest. Now, they have maybe a half dozen songs that resonate with me. This is one: https://youtu.be/WpYT9NhU_ds Baby's good to me, you knowShe's happy as … Continue reading Best Beatles Song →

Earworms

While I was writing about speeches, I hit replay 5-6 times like a mental patient: https://youtu.be/Nawra9ahHP0 For some reason I like this version. Old dude crushing it.Notice the ancient Martin he's playing. I watched a special on him where he was adding water to a humidifier to keep his collection fed. Keep the tone. It's … Continue reading Earworms →

Bluegrass Saturday

My homebois. These dudes all had real jobs, but played bluegrass. I loved watching them. And I love bluegrass. And why not? As long as you can holler in tune and you got it. It's like blues in a way. https://youtu.be/U2FB54DOldo What they are saying: Was in the spring, one sunny dayMy sweetheart left me, … Continue reading Bluegrass Saturday →

Sunday Music

In my opinion, there are few bands better live than the old Little Feat. Waiting for Columbus is a seminal album, recorded at the Bayou in DC. K Street in georgetown to be precise. My old stomping grounds. Download the whole thing. But the two mental patient cuts - those you play over and over, … Continue reading Sunday Music →

Dude here wrote a song because things were shitty and he went for a walk in the freezing cold to get his head straight. Came back and wrote a blockbuster. How many today could take an ordinary … Continue reading More Music →

I often listen to music as I work or type this blog. A lot of the time I'm listening to podcasts, but that's another thing. As I was typing the other day this came on my iTunes: https://youtu.be/DxOu-G7rgI4 First I saw these guys was when they were with Michael W. Smith at the Dallas Symphony … Continue reading A good one →

He has Risen

https://youtu.be/G_x-HM7lroA This song means Easter. And I didn't pick it because they are Ukrainian. I picked it because it was the best.

Why Johnny Can’t Play

Stacy McCain had a piece up on music that really resonated with me about the Band "Chicago" music back in the day. I love music. All kinds. I play music - both guitar and bass, and have for decades. I'm good at it. Not great, but competent. By the way, a lot of friends that … Continue reading Why Johnny Can’t Play →
