So yesterday I heard that one of my favorite artists over the last 40 or so years will hit the big 70 this December, Jefferson Airplane guitarist and member of Hot Tuna, Jorma Kaukonen. So when an album by another favorite from that era was laying on the floor this morning, I listened this evening [...]
So a few weeks ago as I was researching for a post about Walter Trout’s latest album Common Ground ,I discovered or rediscovered that Walter had played on John Mayall‘s 1988 release Chicago Line. I say rediscovered because I probably knew in 1988 that Walter played on the album, but by the time I listened [...]
So somewhere about 1968 or ’69 I used my first few paychecks that I got from working for my father to buy a Panasonic reel to reel tape recorder and started making my first tapes and playlists. I kept that recorder and those tapes for a long time and years after it had broken I [...]
The other day when I was listening and looking for Buffett music I came across a cassette tape of Tom Paxton’s 1994 release on Sugar Hill Wearing The Time and for the last few days it’s been sitting on the computer desk. Well this morning I looked at the tracks and realized that the album [...]
Ok so I had on the show Crossroads tonight and the show was the Zac Brown Band and Jimmy Buffett. When a first heard The Zac Brown Band and the song “Toes” I thought it was a Buffett song! Anyway watching the show tonight and the two of them glide in and out of each [...]
So here’s where we spent Thursday first trudging up and down the stairs with all that Lizzie brought to school and then all the things that she bought at the local Target! Sure wish it had been today it would have been just a little cooler! Today I finally put just about my whole CD [...]
Ok so first a me thing – this week this blog will be very sparse – I am substituting for one of our inspectors on a soils project. I will be out observing stone column installations from 7 Am to 5 PM with little chance to listen to new music during the day except on [...]
So with my 40th High School reunion coming up on Saturday this morning I decided to listen to some music from around 1970 and for some reason Tarkio Road by Brewer and Shipley popped in my head. I’m pretty sure I didn’t buy this album until I was in college, but the album was released [...]
So the other night I mentioned that if I need to laugh, I’ll read a book by Christopher Moore (and I am reading Bite Me and laughing) and if I need some music to pick up my spirits one of the albums I turn to is Leon Russell’s Hank Wilson’s Back Vol.I! . That album [...]
So the last album that I listened to tonight was Jerry Jeff’s album Reunion. The album includes re-recordings of several of his early songs including the opening track “Maybe Mexico”, “Some Go Home (The Train Song)”, one of my favorites “Morning Song to Sally”. But it did have two new songs that became favorites of [...]
