Friday Night Music-Peter Seeger at 90

Friday, May 8, 2009

I’ve put Pete up before, but how can you ignore a legend’s 90th birthday. Here’s Bruce Springsteen (this is all talking, so skip it if you just want music) talking about Pete at the recent birthday bash. As Springsteen says, Pete did outlast the bastards, or at least generations of them, including the crop that […]

Friday Night Music-Rock Me Baby

Friday, May 1, 2009

This is almost like cheating. How can you miss with BB KIng, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy and Jim Vaughn? The sound is first rate too.

Friday Night Music

Friday, April 24, 2009

Am I repeating myself here? I searched the site, and couldn’t find them. Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker Rick Gretch, and Stevie Winwood. Blind Faith, In the Presence of the Lord. And as a bonus, Clapton and Winwood together more recently (better audio quality for sure) reprising a song from Blind Faith, Can’t Find My Way […]

Friday Night Music-The Fab Four

Friday, April 17, 2009

I have to assume that I’ve shown these guys before, but if anyone deserves a repeat it’s them. This is a song that was the B-Side of Help!. In my humble opinion, which isn’t worth much, it’s one of their most under-appreciated efforts. I love this version, from the 1965 Shea Stadium concert. I picked […]

Watch this: Half the world has seen it already. If you don’t shed a tear you’ve got a harder heart than me. Some pertinent thoughts here.

Friday Night Music-Devil in a Blue Dress

Friday, April 10, 2009

Just returned from NYC, where we celebrated Good Friday by visiting our son. This is by way of explaining the fact that this is being posted fairly late. This is one of my wife’s favorite songs, if not her favorite. There are no old videos of Mitch Ryder that I could find, but in this […]

Friday Night Music for Hard Times

Friday, April 3, 2009

This week, rather than searching for a song by a specific artist, I decided to search for the best version(s) of a song. I first heard this song on an album of Stephen Foster’s music sung by Thomas Hampson, a classical music singer. The album is called American Dreamer, and if you think Stephen Foster […]

Friday Night Music-Rick Derringer

Friday, March 27, 2009

I actually represented this guy many years ago. When he called me he told me he was Rick Derringer, expecting I would recognize the name, but it meant nothing to me (I don’t think I ever heard Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo), but I was mightily impressed when he told me he was the guy […]

Friday Night Music-The Eagles

Friday, March 20, 2009

Double feature. Take it Easy, with Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne playing along. And Silver Threads and Golden Needles, with just Linda.

Friday Night Music-The Tokens

Friday, March 13, 2009

Unbelievable that they can still sing this song. According to the youtube entry, this was recorded live in 2008. There’s an interesting story about this song. It was written by a poverty stricken African who remained poverty stricken for the rest of his life, while the song made millions for the folks who bought the […]
