On another thread, we had discussed the difference between violins and fiddles... (violins have strings - fiddles have strangs) Our fiddler just sent me this tune he wants us to learn, featuring one of his favorite fiddlers - Brittany Haas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHNWvoQSASY | ||

I was unfamiliar with Ms. Haas; I won't she's my new favorite, but I will say Alison Krauss is no longer the sole object of my fiddle affections........ Peter | ||

After a vivid dream of a lost love (one of our dogs), I awoke to see a bright star peering through our window. Seeing the star with out my corrective lenses is a feat in itself. . . I couldn't sleep as the dream had me rattled. Got my glasses and realized it was Sirius (Dog Star) peeking in at me, as I tumbled about trying to get back to sleep the Canis Major constellation star drifted out of the windows view . . . it occurred to me that when Sirius was first visible through the window is when I had the dream of our dog. This got me obsessed with Sirius and through Wiki got me to Gojira - "From Mars to Sirius". https://youtube.com/watch?v=3czQT52d16s | ||

'70s mood today - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (amazing how great we thought that was back then - and how bad the rest of the album sucks) followed by They Only Come Out At Night (uneven, but with flashes - or flashbacks - of greatness) followed by All Things Must Pass (by far the best ex-Beatle album ever) followed by Wake Of The Flood (much better, now, thanks - but isn't "Let Me Sing Your Blues Away" easily the worst thing they ever recorded??).

John Scofield's latest CD, Past and Present. Actually went to a record store, listened to a couple of CDs. This one stood out, most excellent. Next up, let's see - Steve Gadd Band, "70 strong". Got my copy a week ago at their concert in Zoetermeer, then had to join a queue to get it signed in order to have an all too brief chat with a certain Mr Johnson about stuff Alembic - hey if that's what it takes then I too shall stand in line! Wonderful grooves and changes on this one. | ||

Been digging the JT videos! Here's James Taylor with Alison Krauss, on an old Louvin Bros. tune I like... this one always seems to come back to me around the holidays every year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQufAPPd2Bw Alison Krauss and Union Station on ACL a few years ago, doing maybe my favorite Sidney Cox tune ever - "Broadway". I love the first line of the second verse - "so the curtains are down, for the moment I was someone..." Dang, that's hard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHDwgWiShi4 | ||

Been jamming to this all morning Wolf - That's a great cut on that one. I would very much like to hear an Easy Wind take on it. Funny (related) story... one of the bands I often get called to sub with are huge Dead fans, albeit 3rd generation ones. (20-somethings) So we're playing a brewery gig the other night, and one of them finally notices my bass is an Alembic. "Dude - that's what Phil plays...!!!" "Well no, not *exactly*" I say, "his has Series II electronics..." I should have just enjoyed the instant cred, however undeserved. =) I'm in the midst of two weeks of Christmas concerts, and thirsty for anything that isn't holiday related when "off-duty", so here's my listening thread entry for today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu1ARRwxGgc It's amazing how Alison can break your heart with two verses and a chorus. You hardly even feel the knife with all the passing chords. | ||

"John Hiatt: Stolen Moments (a very under appreciated genius)" One of my kids gave me a coffee table book called Nashville Portraits, a collection of pictures by Jim McGuire. The caption for a shot of the following-named gentlemen was captioned with a quote by someone whose name escapes me right now: "If there was a just God overseeing the world of country music, Joe Ely, Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt and Guy Clark would be selling out concert halls and arenas, and Toby Keith would be selling used stereos out of the back of his pickup truck." Ain't it the truth? Peter (who currently has the cans on with "Hot Summer Night" by my old friend Jim Post; if the voice sounds familiar, he was half of Friend & Lover, of "Reach Out Of The Darkness" fame) | ||

This lady turned me onto John Hiatt back in my young, impressionable Nashville days. She said roughly the same thing about his genius being underappreciated. And something tells me she lived in a house he'd once lived in... I may be confusing that story with someone else she mentioned. Anyway, Kathy Chiavola: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wocE_amVb24 She was (still is I guess) a session singer, voice coach, and an absolute class act. I had the privilege of playing bass with her for a couple weeks one Summer. | ||

And you were correct, Gregory. Johnny's is just of the 25,798,290.07 covers of it - most of which are good (hey, it's a classic for a reason), but none of which can touch Hank's. Not even Amy's. Peter | ||

There was a thread on another forum yesterday where you were supposed to post what the first song you ever learned was. I honestly can't remember which was first... it was a bunch at once really, but it was about 1986 that I started playing bass. I would sneak the ol' man's bass out of the case and play along with cassette tapes of music I liked. I wore this one out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AINUPFbFpqg | ||

When I got my first bass as a birthday gift in 1965 I learned how to play the entire first Byrds LP so I guess Mr. Tambourine Man was the first but I can't be sure. I have better memory of the first song I learned to play in a band. I was the only person in the eighth grade who even had a bass so I was asked to play with some friends for the Jr. High talent show. When we gathered to rehearse they wanted to learn "Twist and Shout." We put on the record to learn it and they were impressed that after one listen I had picked up the intro line. We rehearsed the same tune over and over until we got thrown out of the drummer's house by his parents. The next day was the audition for the talent show and we passed. We were also offered a gig at a dance, little did they know we only knew one song at that point. We ended up winning the talent show and pulling together enough material to play the gig. Rock music was still pretty simple in 1966... | ||

Whoops; sorry folks. I've been focused on some non-music things and have slacked off on my practicing and listening. But I'm back to practicing every day, and spent a good bit of time a few nights ago listening to Chopin. Brian; thanks for that wonderful account of Ungud! I did find Krasnoyarsk on the map. I've probably posted this one before, but here's a wonderful performance of my favorite Chopin piece, Fantasie Impromptu, played by Valentina Igoshina. It's just an amazing piece of music. I have some catching up to do. | ||

Peter, I just watched the Strength In Numbers video (well, I did skip through the vintage static). That was wonderful! The duet between Bela Fleck and Edgar Myer was pretty special; the things that Myer can do on bass are amazing. But the whole concert was wonderful. Great band! Thanks for that! | ||

Peter; I kinda disagree. Let Me Sing Your Blues Away has a pretty cool chord progression and movement. Here it is by Jazz Is Dead; listening to this makes me think it would be really fun to play. However, the Dead apparently only played it live six or seven times; so I'm guessing they weren't all that taken with it either. | ||
| stephenr
Intermediate Member Username: stephenr Post Number: 148 Registered: 9-2014 |
I really like "Let Me Sing Your Blues Away" but unfortunately have only gotten to play it live once. Agree about the chord progression. I don't think the Dead played it much because Keith sang lead, it requires all the vocal harmony parts to sound good and there is a horn solo on the recording. To my ears there is really something special about Wake of the Flood and fall of 73 GD in general. | ||

Absolutely loving the new Terry Adams CD "Talk Thelonious" which as the title implies is Terry's arrangements of classic Thelonious Monk songs performed by NRBQ plus assorted guests. Some of the most unique, heartfelt and successful interpretations of Monk tunes ever recorded. Who else would have ever thought to have pedal steel on Straight No Chaser? Superb record and recording most of it performed live. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKCojHA1wdcYu5ckKCC2P-yjWE1TN4ml7 | ||

The first song I ever learned to play was actually two old folk songs: Deep Blue Sea and Oh Mary, Don't you Weep. The first "cool" song I learned was Mr. Tambourine Man. I was 11 or 12 in summer camp. A counselor taught the song to me and one of my bunk mates. The two of us stayed up to the wee hours of the morning playing it over and over and over again. As for bad Dead tunes, IMHO, Money, Money, France, and Antwerp's Placebo can give Let Me Sing Your Blues Away some serious competition. Bill, tgo | ||

Smoke On The Water. Got my first bass for Christmas when I was 15; my grandfather was there - he was a well rounded musician, huge Eubie Blake fan he would drive my grandmother nuts banging out ragtime songs. He also played ukulele and harmonica. I unwrapped the bass, fumbled around and found the notes for Smoke. I think he was pleased. I now am the caretaker of his old upright piano, cigarette burn on the bench. I need to learn how to play some ragtime on it in his honor . . . | ||
