Lightnin’ Hopkins - It’s a Sin to be Rich, it’s a Low-Down Shame to be Poor
Tune of the Day
"Blue Rondo a la Turk" on the Two Generations of Brubeck album. Wow.
There are many fine versions of this tune, but this one gets me dancing, clapping, fist-pounding, whatever, every time....and it's not easy to dance in, what, 9/8? I love tunes that grow, build, develop, and move through changes. This one just picks me up and takes me right along with it. Great melding of jazz and rock idioms, too. It's fun to imagine Dave Brubeck setting the groove and then sitting back to hear where his kids and their friends take it.
You can continue exploring Dave and the kids on Two Generations of Brubeck, "The Great Spirit Made Us All". And Chris Brubeck's rock/jazz band Sky King on "Secret Sauce".
For extra credit, give a "spin" to Chase, "Bochawa" from their last album, Pure Music.
Anyway, that's my two cents today.

@bdp24 Appreciate those two referrals. Emitt Rhodes, The Dunhill Years & John Fogerty, The Blue Ridge Rangers rides again @reubent The Suitcase Junket, Knock It Down order has yet to be rescued from will-call. Two weeks and counting lol @arcticdearh, You are only a few pages back…Pat Travers fan here. Noticed recently one of your post’s elsewhere and referencing |
@bdp24, from Norway correct? To bad you're barely visible, it's always the musician on key in on the most during performances. I'd rather see drummers front and center on stage, much like amps between a set of speakers. Front man off to the side :-) Having no experience other than what I've read and seen in documantries, the industry does have a way of rearing its ugly head ... a shame. Thank you for taking the time and sharing a part of history. |
Laying down some ZZ Top the other day. Nice! Geez, If only I'd received a dollar for every time I spun that track. Coffee anyone? Here's some morning coffee, 1st cup ... Scorpions - Sails Of Charon 2nd cup ... YRO Racer X with Paul Gilbert - Street Lethal 3rd cup wind down ... Everly Brothers - Cathy's Clown

@s4patrick, I’ve been up in that area close to where Daryl’s Restaurant & Live Music Club sits, Pawling, NY. a couple of times, though work related. Absolutely stunning part of the Country. All I gotta say is ... third time’s a charm! |
Good times @curiousjim! :-) My son snatched up two tickets for May at the Snapdragon Stadium San Diego, as a Christmas gift for my wife and daughter. However this time around, I’ve decided to stay put on this one. Go have fun Girls .... |
@femoore12, you've abandoned music threads, why? :-( |
That is an awful lot of changes all at once @femoore12, that surely explains why. I’m so sorry for your loss, and somewhat feel your pain. A little over one week ago my Mississippi family had blown up my cell, 33 year old niece passed away. Flying out Thursday for a Sunday Funeral Service. Hang in there my friend, and again, my sincere condolences. |
Thank you @femoore12. Looking forward on listening in. Throw down some tracks when you're ready ... gotta long way to go on catching up with that there Turntable Thread :-) |
