reminds me of a heads up trainer handing out a new stick to a skater flying by the bench after the guy broke his. the skater doesnt miss a beat. i guess bands have their version of trainers as well.
watched a documentary about him on YT just a few days ago. i guess it shouldn't come as a shock but i wasn't aware how close he'd come to killing himself with drugs. he was dug in pretty deep for a while.

what a surprise to stumble onto this last night. never ever thought i'd see her live again. like was said on the clip...the eyes got a bit moist when she sang "both sides now" which is about my favorite song of hers lyrically (along with "the circle game" and "a case of you"). anyways...i'm not going to post here complete set here from the newport folk festival. i'm not sure she has that many fans here and it's easy to find on YT if you want. it's not vintage joni but to me she never sounded better.
now...i don't think linda ronstadt's health will allow her to sing again but if i could hear her in concert one more time i could die a happy man. : )

Thought this was kind've interesting. Not surprising though. I've likely been singing the words non-sensically to most of my favorite songs all these years so what does it matter if at the end it makes little sense? : )

And lots of it. Besides his recording career, Cray got a bit part in the movie, Animal House, which was filmed in Eugene, Oregon. He was a star of the blues revival scene in Eugene and along with a guy named, Curtis Salgado, was the impetus for Ackroyd and Belushi's Blues Brothers rip off. In the movie, Cray was a guitar player in a band named Otis Day and the Knights whom the Animal House frat boys went to see in one of their frat indoctrinations.

One small item to correct.....in this movie, Cray was the bass player in the "Otis" band. My son pointed that out to me quite a few years ago. It would be a great trivia question (or maybe for a free beer) sometime, since he was actually a great blues guitar player. I've always liked his lyric "tell me a boat with a thousand lawyers just sank."

It's a bit long, but the time goes by fast when hearing Ernie play on it. I love to "jam" along with it, but trying to follow his play is quite challenging.

I took it up during Covid and I have a good bud who's played in bar bands for a long time too,he's been helpful but he's a better player that he is a teacher says Ol sausage fingers....LOL. I practice and exercise as much as a little arthritis allows and can strum a little G,A,D,Cadd9 around the campfire on the acoustic(can't cover the normal C chord w/o impinging) and the Cadd9's easier for a fumble fingers anyway. Power chords and pentatonic scales are my electric practice and easier for a beginner too and that helps when you figure 'why bother' but it sounds a BIT less like noise once in a while and that's all I'm shootin' for.

I'm so glad you got to listen to "It's Too Late, Baby" by the I's. I knew if you liked great guitar playing that you'd like it. Like all blues players, he probably doesn't play it the same way twice, so that's my excuse when playing along with him. I like to take the inflections of various players and infuse them into my attacks. I'm a big Clapton fan, and play some of his songs at the weekly jam sessions ("Crossroads," "Cocaine," and the song I have finally mastered, "Sunshine of Your Love.")
I'm also glad that you have taken up on the guitar. It is an endless learning experience and can be frustrating at times, but so fulfilling to the soul. It would be so fun to sit and play some strings with you sometime.
Also, thank you for your kind words about me, even though you've never heard me play. It is humbling, but thank you.
Now if the Blackhawks can surprise the AVS tonight, maybe I can play the song to the AVS as the clock winds down.

You've mentioned your passion for playing.....lifelong I believe and your playing professionally in the past. I've been a fan of the instrument and more so the player ever since I've been into music and I can trace that back to watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan in Feb of '64' @7. 'Chuck' was my guy baby,there were many better technical players,you mentioned 'Slow hand' and there's none better but 'Chuck' was the author of R&R as well as the forerunner of 'jamming' on his iconic red Gibson ES. 'Chester and Lester' were still playin' chords when 'Chuck' started grabbin' two strings,he made the guitar solo part of Rock and Roll and it's still the backbone.....like it is the Blues. Chuck Berry was a virtuoso composer and a demanding guy to play with but his disciples were many.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGE2nnYMXJs'Hail! Hail! Rock N Roll' is a must see for any music fan.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mTLnqZSefU&list=RDLVrGE2nnYMXJs&index=22Spent many nights at Kingston mines and Wise Fools and I got to see all the Blues greats. Back in 79,'Muddy' opened up for Clapton at the old Stadium and he assembled quite the band......per usual,Johnny Winter,Junior Well,Pinetop Perkins and Willie Dixon and 'LIT IT UP'! Even though Clapton was at the pinnacle of his success,there was no intermission and change of bands as scheduled......'Slow hand' just walked out and played with Muddy and the boys for the next hour and a half and I was there.

For you rock stars out there. The band Tool, their drummer Danny Carey, one of the best to ever sit behind a kit. He played drums for Carole King on a couple different occasions. He played on her album “Colour of your dreams”. Also Slash from GnR played on that album too.
It’s amazing to see how music brings everyone together. Unfortunately, todays music is designed for the laziest and stupidest people. It’s been dumbed down so much that you have to be absent minded just to hear it properly. There’s no more musicians. Just keyboard warriors. An “artist” today is only as good as their sound engineers allow them. Whereas back even 20 years ago a sound engineer basically hooked up mics and hit record for the producer. Now it’s what more can I add to make this unreal!!!

I’m a fan of all genres of music. My biggest influence is metal. Why? I’ve played music my buddy hole life and it challenges me the most. I’m a fan of the band Muse. A big fan. They’re like the new age Rush. And Rush is probably my favourite band of all time. Matt Bellamy of Muse said that for their new album they had to learn how to be real musicians as they tried their hand at some metal. He’s a new age guitar hero. And when he says metal musicians are unreal, and it was a challenge for them to play, it’s saying something as they use very weird timings (like Rush), and stretch the imagination of musical capabilities. One of my closest friends, a brother to me. Is a producer and has worked with people most would kill to work with. He records some things that I do. I always record the heavier side of life with him. He is always amazed at the time changes, and mood swings that I can come up with. And I personally don’t think they’re that great. Just normal day in a metal guitar player. I know it’s not for everyone. However I would love for people to see the genius in all guitar playing, let alone metal. One band I can’t get enough of is Amon Amarth. If anyone cares. Listen to the musicianship in the the song Skoll and Hati. This band speaks of Viking tales and wars. The guitar playing is almost like Beethoven on meth. It has a classical tinge with mood swings. The vocals may not be for everyone. But the musicianship is unheard of. Drumming is unreal. They have about 30 songs that are like this that are unreal. The mood swings and time signature changes is what makes stuff like this unreal!!! youtu.be/uip6w_sXjAI

If anyone cares. Listen to the entirety of this song. The time changes and mood swings are unreal. Possibly my favourite heavy song of all time. The lyrics are very cool. Plus there’s a hint of orchestra in here. The chorus has guitars of Mozart clashes with Beethoven. Old Norse tales of war!!! youtu.be/Ed1CB2DldGo

I did see them once, maybe 10 years or so ago and I thought they were solid live, but still never gave them much of a listen. I'll have give them a shot here, especially their newer stuff if they are trying the metal route nowadays.. edit: I like Royal Blood better for what both seem to be going for, at least for what I've heard of Muse. the fact he makes all of that come out of a bass is pretty enjoyable for me.

Not familiar with latest stuff by Muse but I liked their earlier music like Hysteria and Uprising. Still think the old Wishbone Ash was better with dueling lead guitars etc.

I don’t mind them at all. I can’t say I’ve gotten right into them. The thing about Muse I love is they have a lot of really cool bass riffs. Like Panic Station. Plug in Baby, Dead Inside, Hysteria etc. Very innovative band. Matt Bellamy uses an Aturia based guitar. Arturia makes mostly keyboards and software for them. So he has a switch where he uses his guitar as a midi controller ( or like a keyboard) and plays his Arturia plug ins on his guitar. It’s like having 2 instruments in one. Just crazy. His guitar is about 40k. Not cheap. I also love Reggae. More on the roots side of things. Duane Stephenson is amazing. Love a lot of 70s. Even 80s music gets me. It’s a simpler time. Simpler times!!!

I played for many years in a bar band, and we also played at Arlington Park between races and on Wrigley field after batting practice. But the stuff we played was so boring to play. I love playing metal most of all as it provides a challenge and keep you on your toes. I love old Iron Maiden for guitar and bass fun.
