Luella and the Sun; thank you, I will look for this they are SO cool; such groove and on some really crappy instruments too...I know they're part of the sound but I can't stand playing most of those toys...Yamaha got it right at that time though and I have three of their electrics and they are awesome...Tony.

was listening to the latest 'the Sword' and the latest from Ghost...

Saw the Melvins on saturday; bloody awesome as always...they are truly one of the great American bands in their own weird way, but may never be recognized as such; like the Ass Ponys, who never got the level of fame they deserved...

Brittany Haas, world-class fiddler, joined by her sister Natalie on cello and Joe Walsh on mandolin. The second tune in this medley (at 3:15) is "Duck River", a traditional fiddle tune that really showcases her amazing abilities.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-Fg5SCoeBA

"Duck River", like most other Appalachian fiddle melodies, is also known by several different titles. Some of which are: "Dubuque", "Old Dubuque", "General Lee", or "Sally in the Green Corn". A little more searching says the specific "Duck River" tune seems to be part of a fairly common tune family. The tune family to which "Duck River" belongs also includes "Ma Ferguson," "Nancy Dawson", "Nancy Dalton," and "Hell Up Coal Holler" See also "Mabel" and "Possum Up a Gum Stump."

I don't necessarily agree... those tunes are quite different from a bass player's perspective. Anyway, Brit can bring it!

(with apologies for the lesson)

The Haas sisters are wonderful. I used to run into them on a regular basis at festivals when I was touring with Great American Taxi. I would recommend that everyone go see them if you can.

Being an expat Texan, once or twice a year, Texas calls me. It's just I my blood.

Pegged 13MWZ Wranglers, my Tony Lamas, head out to a place with a big dance floor with folks two-stepping to music like this, have a brisket sandwich and a Shiner. I played a lot of this stuff in a lot of places like this clip suggests, and it will always, always be a part of me.

Spent last night in the company of C,S,& N at Glasgow's royal concert hall. I have to say, for a bunch of guys in their 70's they still have phenomenal voices. More or less a 'Greatest Hits' show with 3 new numbers(one from each of them) they blasted out hit after hit with no apparent vocal issues although Stephen looked relieved to have got through 'Suite' cleanly at the end of the show.
One highlight - Croz brought out his 12 string alembicised starfire for wooden ships. It still looks to be in immaculate condition and sounded fantastic.
Another highlight, - they had Russ Kunkel on drums - one of my favourites.
And we bumped into croz (literally) outside the venue as we were chatting with friends we haven't seen for ages. ( he was being rushed to his transport by a couple of heavies as they'd not parked at the stage door).

They're getting on in years and I don't know how long they can keep the harmonies going but based on last night's performance I doubt they'll be quiting anytime soon.

Last weekend...Saturday night it was David Grisman and the Bluegrass Experience. Sunday Victor Wooten. The Grisman show was not only a musical experience but an educational one as well. Purchased seats the night before for $40 and sat front row. The next night at the Dakota Jazz club with Wooten was just as good. A true virtuoso. What a weekend of music! and for a TOTAL of $75. Main reason I won't be purchasing tickets at $50 (rafters), $75 (can actually see the person on the stage), $100 close enough to be able to tell Weir from Hart) for the Dean & company shows in Minneapolis,

The Kinks' Low Budget tour in 1979 was the first gig I took the future Mrs J to when we started courting. Amazing night. ray Davies changed his jacket after just about every song. Bottom end on that tour was held down by Jim Rodford (ex Argent) who had the first Trace Elliot amp I ever heard. I still have the ticket and metal badge (pin) from that gig.

I just discovered this last night. "Old & In The Way" LIVE in '73

http://youtu.be/nhA8bntkypE

Great sound, especially Vassar Clement's fiddle and Jerry Garcia's banjo. (You forget what a great banjoist he was, y'know what I mean?)

I'd been listening to C,S,N&Y's "Deja Vu" album for years and always admired the amazing pedal steel on "Teach Your Children." I was on tour with Mason Williams and the song came on the radio. He said that the pedal steel part was played by Jerry Garcia! (It's in the album credits, but I never noticed it.)

I remember that Mason also said that it was a legendary session because supposedly Jerry showed up, listened to the song once and played. That's the take we've heard all these years! Apparently Jerry was so embarrassed by the take that he left immediately, and didn't like to discuss it afterward.

Yet there's a whole generation (or three) that if you asked them to name one steel guitar part ...

Anyway, there are a lot of songs on this recording that aren't on the album. Enjoy!

Anner Bylsma's version of the cello suites on a period cello that is larger than a typical instrument in a very nicely reverberant room. Probably my fifth version of the suites and my favorite so far.

Liked it Pete! Somewhere in my shop is an album with Ponty, Al DiMeola and Stanly Clarke. It's called "The Rite of Strings". Here's a live cut of the title from it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byn3PG1DY3c

Edwin, I love the cello. I don't have many regrets in life, but the one I do have is that I didn't take up cello until the age of 30, by which point it's difficult if not impossible to find a teacher. Consequently, I only ever play it at home to amuse myself.

Here's one of my favorite modern pieces rendered by Yo Yo Ma. A good friend sent it to me on a very bad day a little while back.

On the subject of Anner Bijlsma, he was featured in yesterday's Vrije Geluiden TV program, an interview laced with fly-on-the-wall footage of him tutoring three cellists on the finer points of phrasing when playing the G major cello suite. Unfortunately for most of you, you'll need to understand Dutch to get the most out of it.

That's just amazing on so many levels. First, Stanley himself. Playing an upright bass is a very physical act. (watch his face) Playing a cello piece on upright bass shouldn't even be possible. Secondly, that is also an incredible instrument he's playing. There just aren't that many upright basses that can even be played in that register and sound like anything other than bow noise.

I have no idea why these guys popped into my head last night, but I really liked them a lot. Hadn't heard this song in years... it ain't J.S. Bach, but it made me feel good.

I just finished watching the movie Round Midnight. I've watched it a few times
before, but it's been a while. It's loosely based on the story of Bud Powell. It's a
wonderful, if sad, movie, with lots of great musicians, and full of great music.
Highly recommended.

See Greg, somebody forgot to tell Stanley he couldn't do that ! Those hands !!

I liked Southern Pacific, but I was nuts for The Desert Rose Band. Chris and Herb's harmonies, backed up by axe-murderer John Jorgenson and the Mighty JD Maness on steel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTkdyG76U_c

This clip shows JJ with a really nice P90'd LP that he gets sounding a whole lot like a Tele. Dig the stereo setup with two AC30's for that chorus riff that runs through the tune. I had to laugh remembering Pete Anderson behind Yoakam running a pair of snarling Twins off a Space Echo !

I always liked this little instrumental... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7djbumqJPUc

and here's the original from Buckingham-Nicks 1973... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt_u6LOIt9E

I'm not big on using a bunch of effects pedals, but it's cool how Buck is able to emulate his original recording of this, which had multiple guitar tracks. Besides, how sweet is that... dude wrote a little tune for his GF like 50 years ago, and still doing it? =)

This is my buddy Tony Collins, who would have been 55 today. Someone caught this video of him at the Galax Fiddler's Convention a couple years ago, jamming a flatpicking standard with another member of the next generation of guitar monsters. It's one of the very few recordings that exist, but it's very typical of Tony. He loved to sit and jam, especially with the youngsters, and (as evidenced here) they soaked it in like sponges.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXsnAHXNFl8

The other young musicians in this video, watching this scene unfold... most weren't even born yet when me and Tony first met up in that muddy field. It's been 2-1/2 months now... I still can't believe he's gone. But as clearly as you can see the inspiration on their faces, the music lives on. I really miss that guy.

*incidentally, I'm 99.9% sure that's Tony's beloved "double-nickel" a 1955 Martin D-18 Jared is playing. They must have switched guitars for this tune.

I'm not sure Dave... just listening, I think he hung onto that minor 6 chord longer than he meant to, and just said "Sorry 'bout that man", apparently thinking he might've messed up Jared's solo. Tony would often exclaim something in his native East Tennessean during a hot line... one of the things I liked most about him was how he admired other players. There was never a hint of conceit in him.

Temperance Reel is another one of those old tunes that has evolved somewhat in the past half-century. The younger players tend to drop a 4-chord into the resolve of the b-part, where some of us more seasoned guys stubbornly hold the minor-6. I think that's what was going on here... watch how Tony watches Jared's left hand, as if he's trying to decide which incarnation of the tune is being played. Most all these younger players are friends of Tony's kids... both of them are extremely gifted players too.

A friend just shared something that I think some of you will like. This is Eric Bibb playing Booker's Guitar. There is a nice story, both in the lyrics and in the notes below the video; and nice guitar work. The vocal is a nice combination of spoken word sometimes moving into melody. Beautiful tune.

Just finished watching Phil & Friends at Lockn' 9/12/15.

The band was Phil Lesh (bass, vocals), Carlos Santana (guitar), Warren Haynes (guitar, vocals), Rob Barraco (keys, vocals), Barry Sless (guitar, pedal steel), John Molo (drums).

Great lineup, and a great set!

Barry Sless took the lead in all the right places, and the band went through some really cool changes. The vocals between Barraco, Warren, and Phil were great.

Sound quality was very good, however the mix was sometimes a bit uneven. The video quality was also very good, however the producer apparently couldn't tell who was playing the lead parts, and they rarely focused on Barraco and Sless.

But the performance was wonderful; much better than I was expecting. And the bass was way up in the mix and sounded great; and the producer focused on Phil and the Alembic a lot. And Phil was playing great and having fun.

Forwarded "Booker's Guitar" to my Cousin, who is quite the fan. Excellent delivery of a very sentimental tune, and a great story too.

I don't have time to listen to much music today... we're under a declared State of Emergency here in Virginia, so the outfit I work for is in full-on-scramble mode to make sure the Water Plants are staffed. I'm talkin' they're in DefCon 4 mode... granted, if we do in fact get what the forecast is calling for, it'll be a legitimate disaster. Fingers crossed we'll get by with one more... it's been about 30 years since the last major flood event hit Roanoke.

Weather Radio... that's what I'm listening to. =)

Yessir, looks bad, but mostly just for the projected rainfall. They just put up the watertight barricades on the front of Roanoke Memorial Hospital next door to my plant. We put up plywood and sandbags around the main pump station this afternoon too, in hopes that might buy us an extra couple hours.

My favorite Tommy Emmanuel tune (and probably a lot of people's favorite), Angelina. Masterful playing and songwriting.

Edit: I just watched it again. Still masterful. It's been a favorite for a number of years now.

I was thinking of Lester Young a little earlier this evening, and went looking for this famous video from 1957 featuring Billie Holiday and a number of other jazz greats. If you watched Ken Burns' jazz documentary, this scene is in there.

Lester takes the second solo after Billie's first verse. The whole video is great. Billie is wonderful; and Lester's solo is sublime.

Dave. I'd not heard of the Ken Burns documentary so I did a bit of digging and found a 'mint' used boxed set on Amazon for £10.00. Now looking forward to 745 minutes of musical viewing.

I can honestly say - of all the pages on the two discussion fora I frequent, this is the most interesting thread anywhere. Wow.

I can't decide which of these to post, so I said two words (one of which was "it") and I'll post them both. I think you'll understand why.

Edward is correct, this is the best thread on the WWW.

Graeme; I think it's amazing. I learned a lot from it; plus, it is so well put together that, for me, it's very enjoyable viewing. Burns' team meticulously revived old archival footage, bringing it alive to help tell the story. It really does tell the history of this music in that you can see the evolution over time.

There are reasonable criticisms, especially over musicians left out or glossed over, and others for whom too much time might have been spent, and the choice of "expert commentators", etc; and some have found the last chapter on "current day" developments somewhat lacking. But overall, an amazing work, and a great resource.

I hope you like it.

I never get tired of McVie's bass part on this one... since this is from the Tusk tour in 1980, I'm guessing this is probably #27. (also based on that insane slide up to the 24th fret)

It is so wrong it is right.
Remember to dose with your anti-ear worm drops before listening.

I'm still on the Fleetwood-Mac kick... well, really have been for a very long time. =)

Anyway, Tusk came out 36 years ago today... since a lot of people thought it would Rumours II, the double-album of kinda' strange tunes that were anything but Rumour-esque was a bit of a disappointment.

So in celebration of deep cuts everywhere, here's Christine McVie's "Never Make Me Cry". (in an odd sharp for those keeping track)

Aquarium Rescue Unit really tickles me. Also been listening to Geoff Achison.
