What are you listening to right now?

Got the chance to meet Vince Gill at a charity golf/music festival in Fort Myers in 1993......He was there with all the pro golfers, Buffett, Glen Frey. It was right after he won his first country music award, and he was sitting by himself just watching everyone. I didn't know who he was, and asked him if me needed a ride to the event. He was very polite and responded, "No sir, I am just waiting for my driver." Out the window there were three custom motorhomes, each with his face on them. I got him to sign the event poster afterwards. True gentleman. Danny Marino was a different story.....
 
Still stuck here in late 60s stuff. This tune taught me that you can play close to the bridge and have a lot of treble on bass (a horrifying concept for a jazz, R&B and blues player at the time.) It also introduced me to the wonders of "mixing at the console," using echo and just making new sounds that sound good to most.


 
The downside of rummaging through old stuff when ya have some deadlines - ya get lost in hours of listening. Cool.

I'd recently moved to Miami. Listened to this album many times with the wind blowin' in my face from Biscayne Bay late at night.


 
Im listening to "Music" by Carole King, "Summer is over, but the music keeps playing and won't let the world get me down..." So BEAUTIFUL!
 
Ain't been to SBH lately. Bummer. But, tunes are always in my ear. So... here to bore you or maybe tickle you ...



Our island neighbor had this early hit that seems to get a lot of airplay these days on oldie radio all over...

I can't leave without giving a nod to the first lady of electric bass (and a tyro on jazz guitar) - my friend Carol Kaye ...

And... yep, just kinda weird but soundful. I guess a loony dictatorship can make anyone great :-( -

Thanks Voosh!

I've lived a deprived life, suddenly made better since you introduced me to Carol Kaye. Unbelievable talent.
Seems like an amazing woman.
 
Mostly good stuff, Voosh, but that last one is weird. They're all blocked in SBH, but a flick of the VPN switch took care of that. Nice to see you online.
 
Going Mobile, by The Who
Voosh! Come back here, please! All the best to you and Kathy.
Kevin and Amy and Peter... I hope you see this.
Happy New Year!!!
Let's keep the music going
Rosie
