This song has been stuck in my head lately with our recent addition. I found this epic live version the other day.

Got my tickets...

Awesome Scottish street music - Clanadonia

Oh, I just love that. Must be something Scottish in my ancestry. It really taps into something deep and primeval.

Yep, me too...

Hope you enjoy these

As a uke player I know Jakes work quite well, he's one of my favorites.

Very talented guy indeed, with amazing levels of dexterity.

"Shake the Devil by the late great Tommy Bolin, a somewhat unheralded guitarist whose main claim to fame was replacing Richie Blackmore in Deep Purple. Tommy's excesses led to his untimely demise in '76 but he also released a couple of solo albums Teaser, and Private Eyes which includes the track below .

Always a Led Zepp fan

At around the time I was grooving to Tommy Bolin (see my previous post in the Music thread ) and Led Zeppelin were strutting, I also had Fleetwood Mac's 'Mystery to Me' on regular rotation (in more ways than one) on my turntable. This was recorded in the intervening years between Peter Green and Buckingham/Nicks.
Other than the founding members John McVie and Mick Fleetwood, it featured Christine McVie and former members Bob Welch (yes, of 'Ebony Eyes' fame) and Bob Weston, a brilliant guitarist whose work you can hear throughout this pretty track.

A classic from 1962, The Girl From Ipanema.

Here's a wake up call, the girl, Helo Pinheiro, is now 74 years old, she certainly was/is a looker.

Just stumbled across this from Nick Cave and Blixa, pretty dark, not sure about the video, love the song.

I'm a bit of a Cave fan.

love nick cave...most of his stuff is fairly dark

If you enjoy well played string instruments have a look at this guy.

This came on in the background earlier and time warped me back to the late 70s for a moment (or 2)...

Memories indeed. I saw them not to long after that was recorded from about 6m off the stage at an outdoor concert where they co-headlined with The Doobie Brothers. Homeowners a km away were calling in noise complaints. One of the best concerts ever!!!


Java "Ear plugs? We don't need no steenkin' ear plugs!" phile

Great for a lazy Saturday morning rev up...

Then there is this version.

"Finnish band plays Australian song in American bluegrass style. Sometimes this planet is f***ing awesome."

This is pretty cool.

Is Juan Diego Florez the world's greatest living (opera) tenor? I think probably yes.

Here is Florez giving his all to "Granada"

Not big on drum solo's, however, this young lady does a great job.

Very creative on the acoustic guitars
