Old and in the Way

Album of the week 8-16-25

Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 08/16/2025 - 3:00pm

Afternoon folks!

This week we've got some great stuff especially for guitar fans. Starting out we have a live album from New Orleans blues guitarist Snooks Eaglin, followed by a compilation of Chicago blues harmonica player Billy Boy Arnold's early recordings. After that we have another live album from Fleetwood Mac back when they were a blues band featuring Peter Green on guitar. After that it's on to some live rockabilly with Robert Gordon and Danny Gatton and we finish up in the bluegrass lane with a couple of sets from Old & In The Way featuring Jerry Garcia on the banjo along with Vassar Clements, Peter Rowan, David Grisman and John Kahn.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Open Thread for April 25, 2016; Happy Title 25

So we're looking at 25 this Monday
25 is 5 squared, and it has no other divisors. It is odd, like the square of every prime other than 2.

25 is the smallest square that is the sum of two smaller squares (9 & 16). Carpenters and others make fact of this property to draw large right angles, since this is a pythagorean triangle, with sides of 3, 4 and 5
