What are you listening to right now?

Joe Walsh just played here on the Cape last night...I couldnt go but those who did said it was a terrific show
 
It must seem somewhat strange for these bands of longevity to get up on stage, and track how the crowds never seem to age but they do! :D And, for those of us that were with them in the beginning, we look around us and wonder what all these kids are doing in the audience. I still go to an Aerosmith concert occasionally...I dance right along with everyone else while my husband just moves a little further away and tries to pretend I'm with the guy on the other side of me ;)
 
Music - a transgenerational language.

I'm always surprised about how most folks "get it" after dissing "all other" forms of music.

Old Motown friends playing Dixieland. Grandkids tossing in The Beatles "Magical Mystery Tour" CD. A staunch "metalhead" asking me for some Wes Montgomery tunes. Listening to some classical with a friend who only listens to jazz and blues. Giving a neighbor's kid a cd of some Django Reinhardt stuff - "Wow. He did that without a good amp or guitar?" Smile. Smile. Smile.
 
Rolled in and it's 96F out there. This tune came to mind. I believe I've posted the official link. For legal reasons I won't download for myself, can't (sure I can ;) ) and save what I have onto DVD. Yet, I found this Spanish version that downloads and saves. It's got Spanish subtitles.

So we got some cool drinks. Put it up on the big screen and have been singing along using the Spanish subtitles. It did take a couple tries to get in sync. Never a dull moment around here. Yo quiero Los Funk Brothers and Joan Osborne.

Very nice, Eddie. Thank you. We are listening to "moon songs," in preparation for Fridays Blue Moon - the second full moon of the month. Moondance, Dancing In the Moonlight, Moon River...we are anchored at Cuttyhunk Island, in the Elizabeth Islands off the MA coast, with barely a whisper of ambient light. It, and the music, is beautiful.
