No music this AM - listening to the Today show, a congressman from LA was shot this AM in Alexandria, VA practicing for a Congressional baseball game that is supposed to take place tomorrow.
 
Caseydog, thanks for the introduction to Al Di Meola. I've followed him on Spotify and will try to get to know him better. Jazz challenges me though and, truth is, I may just not be smart enough to appreciate all of it.

In 2010 "Genuine Negro Jig" just knocked me out. Since we're introducing percussion instruments that may not be widely known, this shows Don Flemons on Bones.

Here are the Carolina Chocolate Drops at the Opry playing a tune from their second album that is a little more accessible.

The mommychef, welcome to the Forum.
Here is Cindi from her Memphis Blues record accompanied on harmonica by Charlie Musslewhite.

Listened to all 6 parts of the Amazon documentary, "Long Strange Trip" about the Grateful Dead. It was entertaining in parts, depressing in others. I'm a great admirer of Jerry Garcia though so cheered myself up with one of the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band records on YouTube. These are all great old songs.

And I'm saving this for tomorrow.

Most of you probably already know Jerry Garcia started out as a bluegrass banjo player.
 
Finished listening to that Jerry Garcia - David Grisman link above. Over two hours of bliss. By the way, Grisman's nickname is Dawg. In the comments read about "Grateful Dawg," a documentary about their 30-year friendship and collaboration. Couldn't find it legitimately streaming free so rented for $2.99 from Amazon. Worth every penny!

High time to listen again to "The Pizza Tapes" with Jerry, David, and Tony Rice. Also "Not For Kids Only," most of which are new to me.

If Garcia had played with Grisman more over the years he might have been with us longer, maybe still.

Not quite ready to move on but will stop talking about it here.
 
Thanks, Cindi. Enjoyed that. Went looking for her new album but looks like it doesn't come out 'til September. Hope it works out well. I've missed her.

For a while, she was taking a little heat because all the videos seemed to feature her bare midriff. In an interview, she good-naturedly complained that all the other female singers were showing their belly buttons. "What's so special about mine?" she asked. I thought that was the cutest thing. She was one of the hottest women Nashville had ever seen. Belly button and all, have always been pretty special in my book.
This is the new single off the new album. Audio quality isn't good but The VEVO link seems broken at the moment.

Not a problem, skilletlicker. I think she sang that song yesterday. She also did "That Don't Impress Me Much".

Not listening to any music today - it's Saturday, and that's the day Mom and I watch the cooking shows on Food Network.
 
I am currently listening to the computer printing out some research material for a review I am working on so I can read it in the dog park. I am finding that if I have some things to do I can sit on the bench with my leg up on one of the chairs while Violet has her outdoor time.

Unfortunately, I can't get this stuff on my phone or Kindle so I have to do it the "old-fashioned" way and kill a tree! :(
 
Being so hot outside, I dug out an old-ish The Who concert DVD. Iy still has three of the four original members -- John was still with us. The drummer, though, is Zak Starkey -- a full member of the band. Zack's father is Ringo Starr. Zack grew up calling Ringo's close friend, Kieth Moon, "Uncle Kieth." Cool Story.

Zack plays on this video.
