    What a sad, sad story. Peaceful thoughts to all in their circle.

    Yep. I love this video where Evan is working on the song, sitting outside of the house with Bruce. And good lord, I love Carrie. She NAILS that vocal.

    My mailbox got run over twice in one week by two different people who were texting. It's like they get in their car, start driving, then start texting.

    At an Americana forum with REK, Bruce Robison and a bunch of other folks, Bruce said that they make between $4,000-6,000 for every 1 million streams. Years ago, he told me that people weren't going to be able to make albums because people weren't going to be buying albums. That is where he got the idea for his "The Next Waltz" project. Take one great song and one great artist. I'm really glad he is compiling those and releasing them. This is probably my favorite they have done. GREAT cover of a Kristofferson song.

    Hohner made really good guitars in the early 80s.

    How does that work when you come through customs with a counterfeit item? Do they only target the seller/distributor? Is there a difference if you bring it with you versus shipping it in?

    Why is Opus dressed in green?

    That's just damn good parenting right there.

    I can't wait to get to the bar next to the office and find that the people with all of the medical degrees during COVID are now experts on deep water exploration and recovery.

    Let's hope.

    I heard David Pogue interviewed today the 5 Things news podcast. Link in article. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/06/20/david-pogue-titanic-submarine-video-cbs/70340223007/

    I hope that has some of the Kim Richey stuff on it. I told her that my favorite part of that record was hearing her harmony vocals "Relatively Easy" and "Stockholm". She had the biggest smile and said, "Thanks for recognizing that. It was sooooo much fun and so nice of him to ask me to do that." He also had Abby Owens sing on the album version of "Heart On A String". I like Amanda's background vocals on certain songs, but her voice isn't as smooth as some songs seem to need.

    I actually dig that 3rd one because it is so different than most.

    Darden Smith recently did a "Talking About Songs" where he takes songs apart to see how they were constructed. His one for "Cover Me Up" is fascinating. https://www.instagram.com/p/CrwhxwJv6YW/?hl=en

    Great story. Been a huge fan of Gurf's since his early time with Lucinda. I LOVED his guitar work on that early stuff. Then, in 96/97 I was eating in a little bar in Arlington, VA and this dude walks in and starts loading in some equipment. He sat a box of CDs on the bar and I started going through them. I found the most recent one and noticed that Gurf produced it and thought, "I've never heard of Slaid Cleaves, but I believe I'll stick around for the show." I've seen him play with Lucinda, Slaid, Patty Griffin and Buddy/Julie Miller. He always seems to be around my favorite artists. If I see him in the credits, I buy it.

    Damn @tbone_ Nailed that Wachtel tone.....and my arm gets tired just listening to those 16th notes. I had Waddy interviewed about that and he said he had to get into shape before going on tour with her because of that song. Great job and the harmony voices to everyone! Good stuff.

    I never really knew anything about him until he showed up in the "Do They Know It's Christmas" video. Very unique voice that I couldn't describe.

    That's just great parenting.

I always loved his stories.

    Just listened. Buckley just covered Cale's version as far as the verses.
  23. hullabelew
    Love Charlie Starr's comment: Trace is Gospel.
  24. hullabelew
    All of the verses were by Cohen. He changed some of the lyrics between the 84 and the 88 versions that he released. Jeff Buckley used 2 verses from the 84 version and 3 from the 88 version in his 94 version. I'll have to go back and listen to the John Cale version from the "I'm Your Fan" compilation (91). I also HATE Buckley's version. He lucked out by them letting him put his version on the soundtrack, even though they used a shortened version of Cale's in the movie.

    The Cohen documentary talks a lot about the different verses and how they changed over time, both by Cohen and then by the folks behind Rufus Wainwright's version. I keep of list of my funeral songs: Go In Peace: Sam Baker Summer's End: John Prine Dreaming: Bruce and Kelly (also about summer ending) Heading for the Light: Traveling Wilburys
