I'll bite.
Last week's SNL featured some kids called "Fleet Foxes". Vocals are very CSN&Y-ish. I really enjoyed the SNL cut, but was less impressed with the You-Tube cuts I later chased down. Think they're from out Mike G's way, maybe he has some input.
John Prine's gonna be nearby in about a month. I got to catch him with Iris DeMent some years ago, and may have to live off that memory, 'cause I ain't paying $125 for a seat unless it comes with dinner and drinks. (That, and the last weekend of Feb. is traditionally my best shot at a big walleye). ;)
Never heard of those guys Feesh. I did look them up and they sound & look a little like The Beach Boys. Here's the song I listened to. I'd love to see John also. I'll just have to be content with his albums as he doesn't come out west.

Sorry Mike, I missed your reply somehow. Yeah, the YouTube cuts don't do it for me. Maybe the SNL thing was an exception.
Mah, I heard a couple cuts from your "Dub Side..." last night at a friends. Sort of a "Rasta-Floyd with Mike Phelps on bong" thing. ;)

Now that's a show I'd brave the crowds to see, but alas, nothing even close to me. :( Guess the Brits never heard of Branson... probably just as well, I just can't imagine Sympathy for the Devil at the Lawrence Welk Theater...:eek:
Just watched the Certifiable DVD(The Police). Very good sound recording. If your speakers are at all 'shouty', Sting's vocals will be very piercing.
I thought the reunion wasn't completely successful with two guys wanting The police to be a Group and one guy wanting them to be a Band with himself as The Leader.
Just my first opinions.:rolleyes:
I'm with you Feesh. I'd love to see Clapton & Winwood. I drove 110 miles to see Clapton's 25th Annual Tour. Only because Mark Knopfler was playing with Clapton. When they did Knopfler's Money For Nothing it brought the house down. So the people who were there knew who Knopfler was. :)
I like Steve Winwood in small doses. I can only take so much of the 70's sound.
Here is an oldy that I enjoyed for the first time while listening to one of your AM talk shows
back in September 2008.Even the producer and the technicians were laughing in the background.

I went to the Clapton tour show, St. Paul Xcel, a couple of years back with a large group of old rockers. Really good show. Clapton has lost a little since I saw him with Cream in 1970 but haven't we all. Well worth a trip but not better than a lunker walleye, IMO.Quote:

That's why I have a CD spinner in the boat. The local 'eyes aren't much into Eric though, they seem to prefer Buddy Guy or Albert King. :D
A bit of trivia, the guy that wrote those lyrics later worded all the Wizard of OZ tunes. He was later disenfranchised when his name appeared on the Hollywood Blacklist as a suspected Commie. Ironically, he spent his final days hoping someone would spare him a dime. :(Quote:
