Friday Night Music-Alejandro Escovedo

Friday, October 10, 2008

A Liberal Drinker told me about this fellow, and sent me some links, for which I am very grateful, since it’s getting harder and harder to come up with new artists to feature. I’ll readily admit I never heard of the guy before, but he’s pretty good, and I like the fact that he appears […]

Friday Night Music-Bela Fleck

Friday, October 3, 2008

I can’t begin to even categorize this guy, but his music is great. A couple of examples: Big Country: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXHOyqHzupk[/youtube] A Moment So Close: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFwrJ1rd_xQ[/youtube]

Friday Night Music-The Kinks

Friday, September 19, 2008

So far as I can see, I haven’t put up the Kinks before, which is par for the course. For some reason, this band always seems to get short shrift, though by rights they should be ranked up there with the Beatles and the Stones. Couldn’t decide, so a double feature tonight: Early Kinks, You […]

Friday Night Music-RNC edition

Friday, September 5, 2008

I am truly sick of writing about, nay, thinking about Sarah Palin. I am going to make a vow to avoid the topic for at least a week. It being Friday Night, I can avoid writing about anything, should I please, which is what I’m going to do, except to note in passing that John […]

Friday Night Music-Bob Dylan

Friday, August 29, 2008

Okay, I’ve always wanted to post these two songs. Bob Dylan again, but let’s face it, he deserves it. Both of these songs are optimistic in their own way and, I hope, timely right now. The best my addled brain could come up with tonight to celebrate what may be the dawning of a new […]

Friday Night Music-Steppenwolf

Friday, August 8, 2008

Born to Be Wild, (1972 performance) [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUt8fQS9qEM[/youtube] Free Bonus: The Pusher, a 2004 performance. It’s hard to believe they’re still around, looking pretty good too. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7CjoaCFYP4[/youtube]

Life is good, with music

Friday, August 1, 2008

A few weeks ago I went to my doctor for my biennial check-up. My EKG was abnormal, though he said it was likely a false positive. But since my father died quite young of a heart attack, it was only prudent to send me off for a stress test. I thought I aced it, since […]
