Why wood they do that?

(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais - The Clash

"The Yes Album" - Yes One of my all-time favorite rock albums, it looks like the "Deluxe Edition" has additional material (I think it has 3 extra tracks). So I'm checking it out.

We actually do Jolene at that speed. Leilani kills it on vocals, I play fuzzy compressed guitar with the treble turned down, and I made a backing track very similar to the slowed-down recording. It's a lot of fun and the audience loves it. I'm not a Dolly Parton music fan, but she is a talented songwriter and from what I've read about her, I think she is a nice person. It's just her voice that doesn't really agree with me.

You HAVE to watch this. Victor posted this on the web in 1991 and Pixar called him to offer him a job on the basis of this video.

Spanish Castle Magic - Jimi Hendrix (double word score?) ?

Problem solved. My webhost changed the name of the outgoing mail server. They may have sent out a letter that I didn't understand or ignored, then again they might not have judging from the loooooooooong hold times. But all is well that ends well. So what should I listen to to celebrate the restoration of my e-mail client? ???

I remember learning this song when I was in a disco band. And I remember the double-knit polyester jump suits that were rather itchy and the platform shoes that were very difficult to keep balanced on. But I also remember all the single girls and the good times. It was worth the shoes and the double-knits. This was one of the more fun tunes of that genre Devil's Gun - C.J. and Co.

Undersea adventure???? Yellow Submarine - Beatles (IMO not their best work)

On hold to my web host's tech support, with really, really bad "on hold" music interrupted every 15 seconds by someone thanking me for my patience - even though my patience ran out about 15 minutes ago. Aaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh

The Waters Of March (de Águas de Março by A.C.Jobim) - Mark Murphy's interpretation

More Eva Cassidy Autumn Leaves (nice guitar work and vocals) Ain't No Sunshine (a nice take on the Bill Withers song) She died of cancer when she was 33 years old, but left a lot for us to enjoy. Too bad she was taken so soon, as there wold have surely been a lot more great music for the world.

It was written by Herbie Hancock but a hit for Mongo "Watermelon Man" - Mongo Santamaria

Stay safe Wibbles. Batten down the hatches. Perhaps a little libation down the hatch too.

"Over The Rainbow" - Eva Cassidy My wife just turned me on to her. Amazing talent on both guitar and vocals. How could she have stayed hidden from me for so long?

We just learned "Fun Fun Fun" for a regular audience member. We play once a week on a deck at a marina on a lagoon across from a state park. The location brings out a lot of beach, tropical, and other "summer songs" from the snowbirds who are vacationing down here. And they are fun to play. The song is Fun Fun Fun but with the two of us, we don't have all the harmonies so I put some of the parts on the synthesizer and included it in my backing track (I make my own backing tracks for my duo) "Fun Fun Fun" - The Beach Boys

Nothing wrong with a repeat. "Peppermint Twist" - Joey Dee and the Starliters. (IMO no need for a video) Many years ago I played at The Peppermint Lounge in Miami, FL. It was a big deal at the time. I wasn't legal at the time, but the band leader was and I guess that's all that counted. They wouldn't serve me drinks though.

"The Warmth Of The Sun" - The Beach Boys A lot of their lyrics are corny by today's standards, but their harmony singing was top-notch by any standard.

Fresh Garbage - Spirit

Happy Birthday 2 U !!!! And I wish you 67 more. Notes

We are a perverted society when natural body functions are something to be ashamed of. Face it, s*** happens. Create a need, release a product to satisfy that need, and you corporate stocks shall rise. Insights and incites by Notes

While I'm on the subject of great Brazilian female singing pianists, here is Valeu - Tania Maria

Gin Mill Blues - Joe Sullivan

Call Me - Eliane Elias (great pianist/singer)
