That riff gets me every time. What a player.

 

Bob Marley - Live at the Rainbow

 

 

 

Exuberance was in his bloodstream. He left us 25 years ago today but the excitement and joy lives on.

Cat Stevens. What a phenomenal talent. Still sounds the same. Just amazing.

Really doesn't sound the same but rather like what it is, homage to youth from the aged. It's not bad; it's a reminder of some outstanding music; but it lacks the fire and confidence of the original. Makes me wonder whether he needs cash for something.

 

 

 

Huw Lloyd in 79. Saw him in Bath with Hawkwind around that time.

A lovely last 2 minutes.

 

A genius for melodies.

 

I am having a serious nostalgia breakdown today, especially about bass guitar. Here are a few awesome songs in their own rights, but the bass is what they're all about for me. Enjoy! ???? My personal bass god is Jaco Patorius.

And then there are the Eagles. Here's one of Hotel California from the original band with Randy Meisner, then one 20 years later acoustic with Timothy B Schmit on the bass. I still think the Don Felder/Joe Walsh dueling lead is one of the finest pieces of guitar work I've ever heard.

 

 

 

 

Jackson Browne singing about his first wife, Phyllis Major, who died of a drug overdose in 1976.

 

Sad to hear that Charlie Daniels passed this July 6th.  He deserves a huge tribute.  I did a lot of campin' and travelin' in the mid-70's and the Charlie Daniels Band along with Marshall Tucker, the Allman Bros., and many other southern rock greats served admirably as drivin' music while tearin' up so many miles upon miles of pavement.  Another huge drivin' aide was some good smoke.  Standard campin' gear included a multi purpose Frisbee with which to sort out the seeds.  I'll miss him.

 

The Tennessean

 

Cumberland Mountain No. 9 off his '75 Saddle Tramp LP.

 

 

 

Long Haired Country Boy off of his '74 Fire On The Mountain LP.

 

This song pretty much sums up to a Tee how we approached life back then.  We might have been degenerates in the eyes of many but we had strong and honorable values nonetheless.

 

 

Also off of the '76 Saddle Tramp LP, It's My Life.

 

"You can take the boy out of the country but you can't take the country out of the boy."  Amen, brother.
