| Whats playing on your system today? Led Zeppelin I - CD. Feeding my blues jones. I seem to recall that that album got ripped by the critics when it debuted.I have it on vinyl but I think it is worn out. Maybe I’ll give it a bath and see how it sounds.Edit: Good gracious what a great... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @jamesclarke, good question regarding what I was listening to in the early 90's if I had given up on Rush. I had to think back....and I may have some chronology wrong, but.....Black Crows, Counting Crows, Blue Mountain, Son Volt, Pearl Jam and oth... | |
| Your favourite Rush albums? Hemispheres. 2112. Moving Pictures. Permanent Waves. Farewell to Kings in more or less that order.Tried real real hard to like anything after Signals. Both when the later albums came out and then again a few years ago. Cannot find a single song or... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @david_ten in addition to our recently renovated 100 year old pipe organ, the music director hired horns and kettle drums for the service. They and the choir did various works from Handel and Mozart. Mozart’s Gloria was spectacular.The sermon was ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Tonight, Junior Kimbrough again, "God Knows I Tried" by Fat Possum Records. Their motto is " We’re Trying Our Best". None of the songs on this album were recorded in a studio. All on location...like Junior's juke joint.Really enjoying these raw, e... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Bach Easter Cantata WDAV FM radio, before church.At church, spectacular choral and pipe organ. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Little Walter - His Best - The Chess 50th Anniversary CollectionHate to See You Go is probably my favorite blues song. The Stones cover it on their recent blues album Blue and Lonesome and they do a pretty good job of it. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Just got back from a blues festival in the Mississippi delta. Bought a new LP of Junior Kimbrough "God Knows I Tried" and a used double LP of RL Burnside "Sound Machine Groove". Both or these guys are actually hill country blues rather than delta ... | |
| Fate? Karma? Purgatory? Help me put a good spin on this. @frogman : "To be honest, if you’re going to go into this so predisposed to hate this guy, I would find an excuse to not attend the performance; not fair to the singer."First off, it was too late to get out of it, but second, I can behave gracious... | |
| Death of Rock 'n' Roll @czarivey : "RnR is dying not only because of jazz or classical music"Jazz and classical have _nothing_ to do with the decline of rock and roll. And quite frankly despite the hoity-toity appeal that some people ascribe to jazz I find it no more so... | |
| Fate? Karma? Purgatory? Help me put a good spin on this. @bdp24 : Speaking of thick fingered guitar playing, we saw this young man at the 2017 Juke Joint Festival. He was about 17 then. He was mesmerizing. We watched him play in an old bank building for close to two hours. He's played at the White House... | |
| Death of Rock 'n' Roll @roxy54 : " I am always fascinated by the words "praise" and "worship". If there was indeed an almighty deity, he wouldn't need or desire anyone's praise or worship."While this is 'technically' true it misses the point or worship. Worship is for ... | |
| Fate? Karma? Purgatory? Help me put a good spin on this. @glupson, the guy you met was probably Bill Luckett, a prominent attorney in Clarksdale and I think he has been the mayor too.Interesting tidbit: Morgan Freeman's son Alfonzo, lives in the same city I do and lives next door to my father-in-law and... | |
| Fate? Karma? Purgatory? Help me put a good spin on this. @slaw : "If I had this opportunity, I surely wouldn't go public. In addition, I wouldn't ask others how I should conduct myself. Another wasted thread,"I've actually enjoyed most of the responses, including this one:"I'd look at this as opportunit... | |
| Fate? Karma? Purgatory? Help me put a good spin on this. I think I’ve confused everyone. My my wife and I are going to a blues festival in Clarksdale, Mississippi. We’ve been before. It is awesome. We have some old friends who live near there. They have invited us to stay with them in Leland Mississippi... |
