Clutch Electric Worry
I've listened to it probably twenty times today. I love it. It's a great thing when you can still find music that thrills you.

Great beginning to the weekend
I'm on a blogging streak so I gotta post something today to keep it up.
Had a great start to what looks to be a great weekend. Some good friends came over and we dug out the giant lylac ( too much digging and too many beers, well not really, to worry if i spelled that even remotely close ) bush in our backyard. Drank some beer had and had a good supper. Spent the rest of the night laughing at his wife and Katie.
Tomorrow I going fishing. The weather should be perfect and the fish should be going crazy.
Sunday it's off to the zoo to see Lions and Tigers and Bears....Oh My! ;) They are having their annual Earth fest for Earth Day. Lots of info about recycling and organic food. I'm really excited.
I hope everyone else is having a great weekend also.

I wish I could be here to see this
Jimi plays voodoo chile (slight return)
I wish I could have seen Hendrix (Or Stevie Ray Vaughan for that matter) play. So creative and different. Amazing player, he really painted sound scapes, gave the music a sound and a color. There have been many who are more techinally skilled but none that could play with the texture and power that he had .

Too busy for something amazing?
Too busy for something amazing?
When I lived in NYC one of my favorite experiences was hearing the street musicians busking in Grand Central. I was late to work several times because I would hear a guitar playing or a violist and I just had to stop and listen. Great way to break up the boringness (is that a word?) of the commute.
One time in one of the lower levels of Grand Central I heard the most amazing duo playing. I was on my way home and I think it was the 9 train uptown (not sure it's been a while) I was trying to catch. There were two men playing, one younger and one older. The younger was had a white pickle tub turned upside down and an old style washboard. The older had a nice looking fender strat with a pignose amp and a portable pa. He also played the harmonica and sang. I must have listened for 30 minutes or more as they filled that area up. They played a great mix of blues, zydeco, and jazz. There was pain but yet it made me feel great like all great blues should. I left a $20 and told that it was one of the best performances I had ever heard. I still think it was. I couldn't believe at the time that noone was stopping to listen.
