This was during the 2020 lockdown in Italy.
There’s just something about the sax that captivates me. This is pretty good, but I’m still waiting to hear a sax player who equals an “unknown” (?) Black street musician who my girlfriend and I heard in San Fransisco in 1976. If anyone knows who that might have been, it would be great to know.

My daughter takes her two kids (ages 5 and 3) to Home Depot the first Saturday of every month for HD's kids workshop, great fun for the kids and they get to build some pretty cool stuff. Today was a mini wooden pinball machine. That got me to thiniking:

1991 one of my favorite bands at the time, they still do it for me

And an XTC side trip. Glad i bought these a long time ago. Rather high priced on vinyl now… its fun stuff

 

[SculpinSwinger]

John Doe of the band X
Powerful song that never fails to give me chills. I’d classify it as “Americana”

A REM/ warren Zevon collab. And one off . And boy am I glad i have had this a long time too. To buy this an early press on vinyl is scary

RIP, Gary Rossington....



I've heard this song a hundred times, and it just struck me today how this song sounds less like Southern rock and more like grunge (10-15 years before that was a genre), especially the tempo. I could easily imagine a Pearl Jam version.....

RIP, Gary. Love me some Skynyrd.

Good point! The drums are already a grunge beat; it's got that "dunh-CHOCK" of kick-snare at mid-measure ("between the 2 and 3") that all good grunge songs have. Imagine a cover by Temple of the Dog; that would've been good.

Read about it this morning. He cheated death once, he got an extra 46 years, lucky man, though the survivors guilt couldn't have been easy. RIP MR Rossington.

1965, Harry James & Buddy Rich, "Green Onions"

I've been listening to some old Wayne Shorter since hearing of his passing a couple days ago. I first came to appreciate him from his playing with Miles Davis, and especially with Weather Report, but I think my favorite Wayne Shorter album was "Native Dancer." It introduced me to Milton Nascimento and that led me into the wonderful world of Brazilian jazz, Samba, Bossa Nova, and much, much more.

love this one too

love this one too

One of my favorite bands, I think I've seen them 7 times.
First time I heard them, I liked them...
Last time was with Blasters and Los Lobos in California a few years ago.
They all still brought it, great show.

Ringo Starr and His All Star Band. Edgar rips the sax around 3:50 and Hamish Stuart's funk groove is more than the "Average White Band"

Not Hammish Stuart, and not average either.

Great lp from a lost in music . Chuck Prophet of Green on Red plays guitar on this lp and produced it and that is why I bought it in the early 90’s.
