    DD- That Silvertone sounds absolutely incredible! And the way Llamar tickles that Ham is just amazing.

    I greatly enjoyed listening to a session/ discussion with Booker T also on NPR Tiny Desk. It was really neat to hear him talk about his inspirational beginnings.

    I'm guessing that you're familiar with Trombone Shorty and Reggie Watts as well?

    A simple song, only about five chords for the whole thing. It's a monologue to music. I've been working on playing it, both acoustic and electric.

    And -- much to my disappointment -- I just learned Crosby and Friends are performing locally tomorrow night. And no more tickets available...



    (Jerry Garcia on guitar, Phil Lesh on bass -- crushing it -- and Mickey Hart. Essentially, a San Francisco "Who's Who" on this album).

    On another forum, someone asked, "Who is the old guy with the Stratocaster?" Turns out it's Erlend Krauser.

    I have a cassette tape by him, dated 1994, titled "Flight of the Phoenix." I bought it when I was searching out new music types. He faded from sight (at least in the U.S.) and wound up playing with James Last for over twenty years.

    He's released a new album. This is from that album.

    Would've loved to have seen The Outlaws back in the day bust sadly never did. Green Grass & High Tides was one incredibly inspirational song for me. To this day it still just blows me away... such an energetic and driving tune. Just listening to it almost wears me out.

    I've been into funk comping lately...digging Bruce Conte.

    Tower of Power, "What is Hip?" -- one of the truly classic foot-stompin', shake yer booty, can't-sit-still tunes! Good stuff.

    By chance, I tuned into a Pandora station I had created a couple of years ago, and was greeted by this classic gem:

    I stumbled on these at B&G. If you stop slavering at the Honduran HOG behind him he plays rather nicely. A musicians musician.

    Today (March 9) is Robin Trower's birthday. He turns 73 (born in 1945). As a tribute, I'm running a bunch of Trower tunes through the store's audio system. So sue me.

    Wow! 73 years old and Robin Trower is still rocking! And your store rocks too! We need more of both!
    You all have good taste in music! That stuff is me!
    And "live from Darrell's house" is good stuff too! Need more shows like that on tv!

    OS, crank it up! There are a few people I've never seen live that I would go to see, and Trower is one of them.

    Listening to some Paul Collins's Beat. Great, great, great old stuff.

    Such solid songwriting stripped down guitar-driven pop.

    Every aspiring guitar player should cover Look but Don't Touch. Loaded with solid examples of power chords, mutes, dynamics, a blues-derived hook. Man, it's a clinic on how to play R&R at it's very core.

    "The Beat" is a great album that spotlights a special time in power pop before over-production became the rule and not the exception.

    I picked up Dire Straits "Love Over Gold" and Golden Earring "Moontan" in the last week or so. Just dubbed them both onto a cassette to listen to in my car. Yeah, cassette player in the car still works even though the CD player is shot. I wore it out.

    Guys, I don't mean to spam here, but these guys (Crow) were really great. I can't stop listening to them.

    Mosaic is also a great album!

    Do you also like what Bob, Phil and the guys are doing with John Mayer (Dead and company)? They're constantly on tour now and I really like the way they are playing the Dead songs without derailing them too much, though Mayer sure ain't trying to be Jerry there.

    I don't follow them and don't really have a positive or negative view of it. Mayer's a killer player and I have, IMO, his best cd when he did The John Mayer Trio with Steve Jordan on drums and Pino Pallidino on bass. Decades ago when the dead were doing different stuff I went and saw Bob Weir in Bobby and the Midnights. Just wasn't the same for me.

    I need to dub that album to a cassette, the only time I get to listen to music is in the car and my CD player died. The tape deck still works, though.

    No new stereo until Apple Play becomes available as aftermarket. I'm not buying a new car just for the stereo. Well, I would if I could but I can't.

    A guitar player that isn't mentioned very often, which I find strange, considering he's been playing professionally since he was fifteen (lead guitar for the then unnamed Jefferson Starship), Craig Chaquico. This is from Once In A Blue Universe:

    This is Craig Chaquico on Flowers of the Night, from Baron von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun, one of my top favorite guitar solos...
