Music of the Moment

So fun...just try not to love it!

its blast from the past Friday
for you folks who might not know about Leon Russel , he has performed on more than 1500 recordings of some of the best and most influential artists of the 60's, 70's and beyond, he had written and recorded more than 500 songs, here is one of his songs that has been recored/covered by more than 200 artists. hope you enjoy this that comes from the Homewood session, a groundbreaking documentary at the time

Flash back moment for me:

I knew SRV long before he became famous & did a little security work for him when he was with the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Was remembering him today. Rock on Stevie!

Haxaw is a good friend from TN. Couldn't find the bio of his banjo but it was custom made for him by Les Paul. Forgot which but either Lester Flatt or Earl Scruggs met him at the factory & signed it when he went to pick it up. It was an honor just to hold it. He's not as famous as SRV was but he's really really good too. Played & toured with many big names. I think the first video from his website shows his talent the best.

Recently have decent internet again so I'm catching up on music. A bit of background ... I'm old with a varied & weird background & have traveled to many places. Some good, some bad. Some of which is hard to imagine. Have lived a whole litter of cat lives. Attended a huge number of concerts too. Mostly because a friend's dad owned major recording studio. So no telling what type of music I might present here. A few nights ago I realized many folks younger than me have missed some excellent music. So let's start here ...

Some of the legends jamming!
