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

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

https://youtu.be/N-aK6JnyFmk If I didn't tell her, I could leave today... Think about modern music. How vapid it is. 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.

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

An oldie... https://youtu.be/mTqTE7aNjZQ Sure. Lip Syncing no doubt. https://youtu.be/vOQGNzCq0l0 Old dude making it happen. They couldn't dream of lyrics like this today: There's a port on a western bayAnd it serves a hundred ships a dayLonely sailors pass the time awayAnd talk about their homesAnd there's a girl in this harbor townAnd she works layin' … Continue reading Sunday Music

One of his best songs... https://youtu.be/M1p9pkIPoCE I prefer the guitar as the lead. But, what can you do? Best I could find. The song tells a story few could articulate these days. I remember standing on the corner at midnightTrying to get my courage upThere was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtownI … Continue reading Sunday Music
