Happy Birthday Bob!

Another year, another countless hours spent listening to the amazing Bob Dylan. The older he and I get, the more magic I pull from his words. What a blessing to have his art created in our time!

Bruce Horsnby Honors Levon Helm

Taken from the New Orleans Jazz Fest a couple weeks ago, watch this marvelous tribute to the great Levon Helm from the also-great Bruce Hornsby. So nice!

Now I get it......

Just wow!

Here is 6 long minutes of Art Garfunkel pontificating to the producer during the recording of his 1992 solo album. Now I completely understand why Paul Simon fled to Africa to do "Graceland"! I must be a total geek, because I loved every minute of this.

Summer's Here and the Time is Right!

Ok not exactly summer yet, but the warm temperatures in Wisconsin have gotten me into a Grateful Dead mood of late.

One of the best shows from an over-looked touring year, October 17, 1983 is a serious gem from Lake Placid, NY. A smoker from start to finish; the highlights include some epic Jerry, sleighing lengthy versions of "Sugaree", "Bird Song", and the always awesome "Terrapin Station". A sloppy encore of The Beatles "Revolution" is just icing on the cake. As a longtime listener and collector, this is honestly one of the greatest shows in their amazing 30 year history.

Crank it up nice and loud!!
