I'm curious about the little emblem in the top left corners.
Seems you have 2 ducks and 6 gnomes sticking their tongues out.
Not that it really matters. Trower, Winter and two B.S. groups.
Mighty fine.

@QMS

well, youtube says you should put up a picture or avatar for a channel, so i chose one of my daughter's old stuffed toys (the gnome - actually a sort of monster) and one of the dogs favorite toys (a frog that apparently resembles a duck whose eyes bulge out when it's bitten).

glad you enjoyed the tunes. have a good one!

Just got out of a tub of hot springs in the central valley of Cali on our way home to Wash. State.
On our third week on the road and feeling renewed and your tunes are a great set to dine by.
Thanks for serving them up.

GREAT albums Joe!

Keith and Mick had to shit when they heard that Stray Cat Blues. It was the first example I knew of, where an artist did a Stones song better than the stones. It is one of Johnny's best.

Got that Roy B. vinyl, one of my favorites of his. The song The Circle for some reason is music to my ears. Steve Cropper plays rhythm guitar on it! Those angelic backup vocals... Also Brer Rabbit and Tar Baby with Stanley Clarke is amazing too.

Thanks for the awesome soundscapes!

@dystopian

glad you dug the tunes!

that is a great stray cat blues, i think my favorite stones cover is gram parsons doing wild horses, which of course the glimmer twins wrote for him and then did a pretty decent job on it themselves.

heh, roy never did a bad album, though his sound changed over the years.

have a great evening!
