For some reason, I get in the mood for tear jerkers this time of year. Great writing in this song, a classic that I have dug for years. Enjoy

I don't care where you're from, if this song won't get a YEE HA! out of you, you have a problem with the world. Charlie Daniels is indeed a great musician and a national treasure. Orange Blossom special is probably one of my favorite songs ever.

And speaking of YEE HA! music, here's another great one that features some absolutely outstanding musicians
Earl Scruggs & Steve Martin - Foggy Mountain Breakdown (Best - YouTube
Ah the memories

Not a huge fan of the whole 70's disco era. IMHO, although a huge part of my childhood, it represented a dark age of sorts for music. There are of course exceptions to everything and these guys, Earth Wind and Fire and of course Average White Band stand out as very capable musicians
On a completely unrelated note, my bride has fetched a bottle of Cuervo Gold for the evenings libation, tomorrow promises to be a rough one.
Now off to Pedro Javier Gonzalez. What an absolute beast! There are good guitarists, great guitarists, legendary guitarists, then there's guys like this guy. Holy cow if it were only as easy as he makes it look to play like this.

Just heard this old fave on the radio.

i have many music tastes ... right now this is playing ...lol.. prob have some Berlin going next and then something else ..lol
Asia - Heat of the Moment - YouTube
Another great version of a really great song
Andrea Valeri "Sultans Of Swing"( M.Knopfler) - II Szczycie
Here we have Terry Bozzio kicking off into a heavy funk/rock bag for Frank's blistering guitar solo on "Punky's Whips". The sound he milks out of that SG is just amazing. Of course, he's got an all-star lineup of musicians on stage with him and FZ's great songs are many, but this solo is right up there for me.
Frank Zappa & T.Bozzio EPIC performance ! - YouTube
Zappa was incredible. And super smart, and funny and creative. Tremendous loss.
I just saw/listened to this. Sorry in advance.

Something quiet to ease you into your weekend. My friend Luke and his lovely wife Melissa: Whitehorse
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq0sTOssg00
Kris, I loved that! THANKS!!!
My pleasure! Check out also Luke Doucet solo and with his occasional band the White Falcon as well as Melissa McClelland. Luke is possibly the best guitarist I have ever seen live, an absolutely phenomenal performer.
Speaking of the White Falcon...

I always have a running list of bands that I would be willing to drive for hours to see live. These guys are always on the list. Ladies and Gentlemen - the Decemberists.

EDIT: changed link to one that doesn't cut off before the end. :)
And one more tonight. This one goes out to everyone who has ever had the courage to release an 18-minute-long song on an album. This one's for all fans of Neil.

Today Mr. David Jones released his first record in a decade. Cue a Bowie-filled evening for Cangooner. So, in honour of the end of this long wait for his fans, here are a couple of my favourites.

This week your Friday night selections are brought to you by the land. I am a little bummed out by my plans for a weekend spent at least in part in a quinzee have been scuppered by stupid warm temperatures and sloppy rain. All that wonderful snow disappearing... :( So I figured if I can't get out and enjoy the land this weekend as I had hoped, I can at least celebrate it in song. A new one and a classic... enjoy. :)

That is a fantubeulous setup!
Just finished reading Neil Young's book in which he goes on at some length about sound quality (and trains and cars, hence my new sig quote...) so I've had sound quality on the brain lately. I know really nothing about HiFi gear, but that just looks like it sounds great!
One week to go, boys!!!

[QUOTE=mapleleafalumnus;1089906]One week to go, boys!!!
Hey Maple!!!
So, did I hear right that they are going to play 48 games? If so, would the home games be less than half that? I was thinking if I can get a little more time, I'll be able to take my son to a game. Closest for us is San Jose, that's a pretty good trip from here. I'll have to see if they have a schedule up. I went once before, had a great time, that was back in "02", so I guess I'm due for another game!!
As I loathe and despise snow with all my being, I feel for those who even willingly choose to live in places where it is wretchedly common this time of year. So for those, here's one of my most guilty favorite genres, from a place where the music and the weather is ALWAYS hot! Don't know if any here have ever met Wayne Bergeron or Arturo Sandoval, but they are seriously class acts and two of the most fantastic trumpet players extant!
Recording fidelity is not that great, but these guys are just ripping holes in the stratosphere on this one:

Tonight I give you someone I was first introduced to at the Winnipeg Folk Fest a number of years ago. From Zimbabwe - Oliver Mtukudzi.

Rather appropriate, given the lyrics.

Can't stop listening to this; Angus Stone, Broken Brights, Aussie fellow. I got hooked on this song a few months ago, and now again. The lyrics are excellent 'is that the old man walking in the dark'. I imagine someone's dad, middle aged, maybe my age 50, walking home from the pub, or just out walking, and the son is driving down the road, and his lights illuminate his old man, walking home, in the dark, hunched and forlorn and sad looking, maybe the family is going through hard times now the son is all grown up. and the son feels he, too, will grow old as he sees himself as the the old man but young, and he's a little concerned about that. That's what I get from this song...

The song is great but my interpretation is nothing near yours. I will have to watch it a few more times but my first impression is an old man reliving his youth. Finding the key to his girls heart in the fountain of youth.
[QUOTE=32t;1093211]Oh right. I didn't actually watch the video. You know how sometimes you read something or listen to a song and you get an idea about what it's about? Ever learn later that it's not about that at all yet refuse to accept that; saying that it doesn't matter, for you it means what you thought it meant?
That happens to me a LOT.
I get a letter, open it, and it says I'm a valued customer and they love me. Not that I should pay x dollars by x date or else...
[EDIT]
See I'm thinking the line 'when we were young' IS about thinking back, but it's about the father son relationship; the son looking at the father and seeing himself as an old man and the father thinking back both at the same time. I think it's like a duel thing, a 'see both of them thinking at once' thing...
[EDIT] [EDIT]
I think the "we'll grow young" line (rather than the repeated "when we were young" line is that thing you say when you're young "I'm not going to grow old and look/get like that, I know better than that"....
