Good afternoon, joe...
Good stuff, old buddy.
Don't know if you saw this yet: Guitar Shorty dies at 87.
We're running out of the old timers, the youngunz need to pick up the slack.
evening jtc...
thanks for the heads-up. shorty had a long and interesting career, it's sad he's gone.
heh, we need more new younguns to pick up where giants have left off.
Maggie Bell is very enjoyable
New to me. Similar to the tones of a young Bonnie Raitt and
a cleaner version of Susan Tedeschi with some of the energy of
Marcia Bell
grassy ass Hermano
truth is considered foreign influence, world peace is a threat to national security
evening qms...
you've probably heard her before, but didn't know it. she has guested on a lot of albums over the years, including a couple of tracks on rod stewart's "every picture tells a story" and the who's symphonic version of "tommy." she was also in the lesser-known rock band stone the crows.
have a great weekend!
I really like her cover of Souvenirs by John Prine
And...if you cover a Prine song and fuck it up? Yeah, that's not OK.
Kind of channeling John Prine and a low key Janis Joplin. Good stuff. Thanks...
Thanks
js. Your selections got me through the washing of the windows task I set for myself.
Good stuff!
Next up, I want to catch up on last weekends offerings. I've gone through the John Mayall (sp.?) so am on my way. (More windows to go with the rest)
