historic sound recordings worthy of preserving,...
Loved him.....

My grandson , when born was incredibly alert and aware as a new born . I was amazed at how he followed everything with his eyes. By 9 mos things had changed and he was quite in his own world.
Finally at Three he started to speak and has made much progress at 51/2. I don't know his shot history but I am suspicious.

I used to blow the roof off venues. Then we gave my boy 4 vaccines in one day and everything changed...

I loved the orange album it was a staple in my teens.
Jeff Beck Group: Rough And Ready & Jeff Beck Group A/K/A 'The Orange album

Great singer.

In my previous life - before trying to raise a disabled kid - I was a blues guitarist. I played a lot of stuff like Joe's, a little Tommy Castro, a little Robben Ford. Played all over NorCal. All these years later I still get asked to perform. But, I had to raise my boy. Still have my gear, but rarely touch it.

This clip reminds me of a performance I saw on TV that I think many didn't grasp. Jeff Beck and Kelly Clarkson doing a tune. It actually was pretty darn good.

See the references here to Janis. She was really special...

Yes indeed! And Another Piece of my Heart melted

Only ONE Janis.....miss her.

Thanks Coaldigger,
I have not heard of Diana Krall. I will give a listen this morning and report back.
Have a great day!

Since the baseball game was rained out last night, I watched two concerts, in their entirety, by Beth and Joe. Thanks for introducing them to me. I am clueless about pop culture and usually only discover talent like this through a reference. A couple years ago a friend from Spain suggested Diana Krall to me and I was shocked that I had never heard of her. I don't have the patience to wade through all the trash to find these gems so it is much appreciated.

Whew!
Really, really good stuff. I guess I'm getting really old. Not familiar with them. My loss. Since Folk Music was my forte in school (Musicology) I thought I'd recommend the Theodore Bikel album. It's only on vinyl, but I think you'd (all) love it. Since he was also an Academy Award nominated actor, the album contains the funniest rendering of "Digging The Weans" along with his renderings of songs in various languages.

Not Janis............ but, DAMN SHE"S FINE!!!!

Yes , world class performance .

That was profound. Do believe that was the best blues music I've ever heard.

I agree +1

You are very welcome!

I don't remember her from Sunday school but that is blues at a very high level. It takes a lot of living to produce the emotional performance she does.

Haven't heard them in ages...thanks
