Booker T Jones & the Drive-By Truckers

I ran across this looking for something to watch. So, John A Arkansawyer, & other fans…

Thanks Boss!

As a novice musician who has played, …and wishes to continue playing local venues…I want to extend a very meaningful Thank You to Mr. Bruce Springsteen for his stance on this.
ASCAP must have their heads up their proverbial backsides on this one. Sounds like they were trying to make an example…and using Bruce’s name in [...]

Tearin’ it up!

I like a guy who puts lot of emotion in his music
Here is a real up and comer
His tongue / eye coordination is second to none.

The CMA Awards Show

Well I broke down last night and watched the country music awards show. I had heard that Dave Matthews was going to perform with Kenny Chesney. I knew it would be about 45 seconds worth of Dave Matthews but what the hell. The show had already screwed me out of Modern Family so I figured [...]

Mraz

Morning music… A young gentleman acquainted me with this fellow yesterday & I’m very impressed.
Have a nice day.

Frederic the poet

Frederic. That’s the middle name of a poet/songwriter who I believe belongs in the very top class of those so engaged.
He has Bob Dylan’s skill with building thoughts, feelings, and pictures out of words, rhyme and cadence – but his voice is gorgeous and his musical skill matches his poetry.
His father used a stage [...]
