One of my all time favorites..what a voice! I could listen to him all day - good tunes to work by Eddie

Lionel Richie....his TV special with all the country stars...He still has "it."

 

[Voosh]

Missed the special. Will probably get a download tomorrow. He is great. Shania, too.

A recent tune:

As soon as Kathy is on the mend and able, we have a standing invite from the daughter of one of our regular SBH crew to hit the trails on horsies and smile. Can't wait for that trek.

Really enjoyed the special last night.

Now, the Mamas and The Papas-California Dreamin'

Thanks, Voosh-a perfect follow up number

 

[Voosh]

Dick Clark! Yep.

I believe this is the original TV show track.

"Hard Times" by John Legend and The Roots. Love the horns.

 

[Voosh]

Alright. It's been slow here lately...

Long story "short." Kathy, during her health recovery, has had this irritating habit of trying to talk through walls to me or trying to shout at me when I'm outside.

Solution: Use your damn smartiephone! I'm linked!

So now she calls and I answer with "Who Could It Be Now?" She chuckles and says she hasn't heard that tune in years.

Tonight I pulled out the first two (primo condition vinyl) albums by "Men At Work" and blasted them through the house. She smiled, big time. I try to make her smile. This worked.

Hello It's Me - Todd Rundgren
All the best to Kathy!

 

[Voosh]

Thnx. Good tune. I'll put it on for her in the morning.

 

[amyb]

Good work, George. Keep her smiling.

 

[Grey]

Voosh, nicely done. (And that story brought a smile to my face too.)

I've been listening to the new John Mayer album. Easy and breezy.

Grey,

Thanks for the reference. Played it a number of times since your recommendation.



And now. Payback time.

Tony Cimorosi is a staple in the NYC music scene. A few years ago I was asked to play some "international" music. A friend said I should just pick up Tony's book and cruise through it. [Cheap plug: "World Beat Grooves For Bass"]

Good stuff that got me started. Had questions. Called him. "Typical" NYC attitude - "Didya read my book?" My response - "Nah. I just wanted to harrass ya with dumbass questions. Want my first one?" "What? Whattt?" He explained some stuff that I had missed. And then, typical NYC musician pro stuff - "You know I'm here and I give lessons. Get your butt over and we'll polish up the touchings." "I'm in MI." "So? I ain't gonna fly over there to tweak your tunes."

Great guy. Enjoy his take on things. The site has streaming music.


Yeah, he does jazzy and retro "soft jazz" most of the time. Yet, he does kick arse on so many different styles.

Thanks, Voosh. I don't listen to much Bluegrass. That's a nice reminder that there are a lot more strings being played in Nashville (and elsewhere) than just guitars.

 

[amyb]

love the banjo picking!

 

[Voosh]

Haven't heard this in years. Eerie how he sounds and performs like some other Lennon.
