    Due to my recent travels, I only found out today that Klaus Schulze had passed away. So, I'm listening to a Hearts of Space retrospective of his music.

    The name Klaus Schulze may not be familiar to a) many Americans, and/or b) guitar players, because he was neither. However, he is regarded by many as one of the founders of the electronic music genre. He played with Tangerine Dream on their debut album
    Electronic Meditation and with several other ground-breaking bands until launching a solo career that produced over 40 albums. His live concerts were legendary (a full list of his works is on Wikipedia's page). According to his web site, a new album produced before his passing is scheduled to be released next month.

    The passing of another giant. R. I. P.

    OS during the 80s, I listened to Heart of Space and using my cassette deck, recorded shows so that I could listen to them later. Fantastic stuff.

    Someone on the LPF posted this one, and I'm enjoyng it so much. I only ever knew the Woodstock tracks.

    Six degrees of separation, Willie. Or something like that.

    I have a number of albums by Country Joe & The Fish: Electric Music for Mind & Body, I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag, CJ Fish, and a personally-signed copy of www.countryjoe.com (which is also his web site). How did I come by an autographed CD (and beverage glass)?

    In the 1990s, I had a married couple as friends, Tom and his wife, Lynda. In her prior life Lynda Van Devanter was an Army nurse at the 71st Evacuation Hospital in Pleiku province, Vietnam. She chronicled her experiences in a book titled, "
    Home Before Morning." Exposed to deadly chemicals there, Lynda succumbed to cancer in 2002. During her life, she was one of the motivating forces behind the addition of the nurses' memorial at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D. C.

    She was friends with Country Joe McDonald, who also hails from the Washington, D. C. area. She put me in touch with him, and he sent me a copy of his CD and a the drinking glass, with the note on the CD, "Keeping the Faith."

    Fantastic, Fred. He's quite an overlooked talent. I read up on him today to see that he's recorded soooo many albums. Prolific.

    I need to listen to more of him. Great band, the Fish.

    Re: The Official TFF "what are you listening to?" thread

    had a hankering to hear some zep tonight, dialed up Houses Of The Holy and the first song would not play. I Googled and it said the music code could be corrupted, to sign out of music and back in. The directions in Settings not only existed just like the desktop said, they worked. The album played in its entirety.

    Hankering was satiated. Even started playing the rebuilt Jazz bass. Just call me John Paul Jones

    BTW - after the album played, Apple gave me a killer playlist, best I've seen yet

    I've found a pretty cool online "radio station" for times when I just want a full range of Brit rock--classic mostly and good old heapings of prog.

    Was in a Dave Brubeck mood tonight. So hard to groove this heavy in 5/4 (or 10/8 depending on how you feel this) - by the way, the drum solo from Joe Morello was epic in this cut (starts at 4:40).



    Yessir…I’ll take a second round. Paul Desmond has to go down as one of the smoothest alto players ever.

    Re: The Official TFF "what are you listening to?" thread

    Ever since I saw John Cipollina's rig on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I've been wanting to hear the blare of those Wurlitzer horns coming out of the "quiet break" of the Who Do You Love Suite. Considered by several music publications as one of the greatest rock albums, Cipollina remarked that he didn't understand the plaudits, saying, "It was just a two-chord jam."


    (Not the original album, but a 1973 Winterland concert. You can hear the effect at the 14:48 mark)

    Since I’m getting to know my new Mini Maton acoustic, I’ve been digging into Tommy Emmanuel:

    Thanks for this Sér... er, Sugar... er, S.Cane. I was motivated to order the 3-CD set about John Cipollina based on comments there.

    I generally tend to stick to released studio albums vs greatest hits compilations, Tom Petty is one of those few artists I can do that with. Don't know if my brother can hear me, I'm singing along where i can. I've seen him a few times in concert and he didn't disappoint. I'm sad that I have to use that in the past tense, I miss him.

    Poke Salad Annie was an early song (1969) that introduced me to Tony Joe White and the laconic style of country blues he played.

    Just got back from hearing Toby Walker in concert. Jorma Kaukonen (Hot Tuna, Jefferson Airplane) asked Toby to teach at Kaukonen's Fur Peace Ranch, and said, "Flat out... you have to hear this great musician. I'm blown away!"

    There were maybe thirty of us in the audience, at a small, local cafe. I chatted with him, but didn't buy any of his (many) CDs (I don't have a good player). He's very much into roots blues, traveling, learning and teaching. He played Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Mississippi John Hurt, and threw in some instrumental ballads and told a lot of background stories. I paid a measly $11. Well worth every penny!

    He played this, too.

    Some vintage Jefferson Airplane from "Surrealistic Pillow".

    I happened to be watching an old flick from 1990 called "Flashback" the other night starring Kiefer Sutherland and Dennis Hopper and the film was populated with songs from the 'Summer Of Love" era including Marty Balin's "Comin' Back To Me' which brought back a flood of memories, so much so that I needed to hear more. I had to listen to the entire album. Twice.

    I liked that movie too. Not as much as I liked Easy Rider, but still...

    Dennis Hopper was a real genius, both in front of the camera and behind it. Incredibly, his conservative philosophy did not match his on-screen persona. He and I shared a birthday, along with actor Bill Paxton.

    Anytime I come across a video that features two of my favorite guitarists, I have to stop and watch (and listen!). I've seen this before, but it never fails to floor me. Jeff Beck with Eric Clapton and Doyle Bramhall II playing "'Cause We've Ended As Lovers."

    Joni Mitchell with perhaps one of the greatest backup bands of all time: Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Lyle Mays, Michael Brecker, and The Persuasions (backing vocals).

    Chuck

    This is a very interesting album, as it’s basically Dead stuff from a strictly rhythm guitar perspective, as Weir usually does.

    I’ll be honest: I don’t reeeeeeeally love his tone but his rhythm technique is really great.

    Well, his backing band was the Grateful Dead on that album so a lot of what you hear is Jerry too.
