  1. That reminds me of another one. Alice wrote this one with Bernie Taupin around Alice's mental health issues. Just a fantastic record. My brother ran in to Bernie Taupin at a radio interview and he said, "Mr. Taupin....I really enjoyed your work with....." Taupin kind of kindly nods and starts to move past him.... "Your work with Alice Cooper on 'Welcome To My Nightmare'." Taupin turns around and talks to my brother for about 20 minutes. What a great album. Davey Johnston and Dee Murray from Elton's band. also play on the record. Plus, Marcy Levy (Clapton's background singer) sings a great duet on "Millie and Billy". I need to pull out that album today.
  2. My two favorites are Red Headed Stranger and this one. "Let the children boogie"
  3. 1995 Fresh Air/Terry Gross interview with McMurtry. https://www.npr.org/2021/04/02/983783988/remembering-larry-mcmurtry-a-writer-who-helped-define-the-american-west
  4. Perfect for the Vagi-Caster
  5. Saw this earlier this week.
  6. Shawn Colvin's cover of Killing The Blues. And another Great Texan doing his own blues.
  7. Merry Clayton was the background singer on Gimme Shelter and Sweet Home Alabama and 100s of great songs and was one of the standouts in 2013 documentary, "20 Feet From Stardom". A year later she was in a car wreck and lost both of her legs. Check out Rick Rubin's podcast: She grew up with Billy Swan and people like Aretha Franklin and Mahalia Jackson sang in her dad’s church. https://brokenrecordpodcast.com/#/episode-96-merry-clayton/ Article: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/28/arts/music/merry-clayton-beautiful-scars.html

  12. This has been floating around again this years. Can't remember seeing it posted before. http://www.equinechronicle.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/snake-photo.jpg
  13. The other day, my wife looked at one guitar on the wall and asked when I got it. I said, "1982, a hell of a lot longer than I've known you." She said, "Just never noticed it before." Hulla sees a window opening..........local guitar shop getting in one of these.
  14. Ha. Not only that, it requires two phone lines to run the phone. Wife has to have it for the closed captioning and that motherfucker types out the messages people leave so I have to hustle over and delete the messages and the call log when Sweetwater calls.

    Songbirds

    Yep. After hearing a song of hers on an Americana podcast, I ordered a CD from her. She wrote me back a nice note with the CD. That entire record is very, very good. This is the song that nabbed me.
  16. How can that be a Silver Sky™ when it is red?
  17. @Deej I'm really jonesin' for this baby. I need to find one locally so I can test drive it.
  18. On the Sweetwater calls, they have my home number and my sales guy keeps leaving messages on the home phone so my wife knows every time I buy something. I need to fix that issue, pronto. Fuckers are ratting me out.

    I could have sworn I posted a Lisa Bastoni song. I LOVE the mellowness of her voice. Simple and pure. She is my greatest new-artist find from this quarantined time. She got the idea for this song when walking her infant daughter in a stroller and a lady looks and her and says "what a cute girl...too bad about the unibrow."

    The Police

    I was going to compare The Cars as well, but I just looked it up and they released an album in 87 that I don't think I knew existed. Door to Door.

    Songbirds

    That Martina McBride video reminded my how much I loved Gretchen Peters' songs. She never gets the credit as a songwriter she deserves and I've always loved her voice. So authentic.....I saw her at a house concert once and she said something like, "This is a Jimmy Lafave song I was lucky enough to write." A really good songwriter I know in Nashville was so excited a couple of years ago. I asked her what was up and she said, "I just won a one-on-one songwriting workshop with Gretchen Peters." That shows the respect that people have for her..plus, that smoky Angel voice.

    My favorite song Nicolette ever released was Rhumba Girl.....here with another songbird. She actually recorded a song called 'How You Gonna Wear Your Hat', that is my VERY favorite song she ever recorded, but it was never released.
