And some music. Not having mastered the addition of videos, here are a couple of pictures. Music has been an incredibly important part of my life for a long time, then I somehow lost touch a bit when my laptop with all of my music died (still have hundred...  

. . . and the grey-eyed brunette, K - who are they? A serenade . . . . . . for your fabulous Rail ;-) . . .

And wanted to get the post out after a full Saturday‘s work, so I forgot about the names. He‘s Jan Garbarek, a Norwegian (IIRC) saxophone player, who‘s done some fascinating stuff IMHO. Like it a lot. The lady is Amy MacDonald - no prizes for guessing whe... 

Played with Jarrett, Haden, Towner and others. Thanks for the intro to Amy MacDonald. Cheers, pplater.

Glad if I introduced you to something new

and your selection brings back good memories!

Thanks NT931! They certainly have a broad range of songs and while everyone knows about them (OK, maybe not the younger generations anymore), it’s usually a much more limited spectrum that’s popular

Very tasteful. The watch is nice, too.

I call it the Austro-Hungarian look

So not Austrian at all

...  

. . . attended one of rescheduled Perth shows on that tour. I've said it before, and will say it again: there's nothing under the sun quite like a Stones show. ;-)

(You have a great memory, Art). The Leader of the Opposition in the House sat there marvelling at Mick's head of hair. That's what it has come to, for them and for us: marvelling at Mick's hair. How times have changed! Cheers, pplater.

my favorites this weekend. ...  

Sheer genius!

(from his life) in a neat little song. Great!

Really like how the FF blends in 👌🏻👍🏻

. . . whose practitioners predictably open or close their performances with Joel's "Piano Man". Yours truly equally predictably requests CCR's apropos classic . . . . . . and amazed at how often piano bar singers are themselves amazed by what should be a ... 

The bassists are always forgotten, right? Why funny? Well, it's longish and boring story, but you've got time. ;-) At the moment, pplater Minor 2/5 is resident in the far North, where there is not much in the way of 'cultcha' and, for that matter, not muc...  

Duck Dunn was my hero when I played bass in a band in high school. Thanks for the videos!

. . . shouldn't have been taken unawares of your proclivities, padj. You're a member of the musicians fraternity. I always reveled in music , but had no talent whatsoever. Literally. In my mid-forties, I decided to learn one of my favorite instruments, th... 

At least he was honest with you.

Still my favourite piece of theirs

Duck Dunn played bass on the album "Home". Delaney & Bonnie

. . . another acquaintance (for lack of a better term) was one of their session players. Can't remember his name; drugs and drink likely did him in, poor devil.

D&B toured with Blind Faith. Clapton started hanging out with Delaney, then started playing with them on stage. When Blind Faith broke up he joined D&B as one of their 'Friends", along with George Harrison. There is a 4-CD set of the tour they all did tog... 

The guy really - REALLY - got around! There is a great story to be told about the 'side men'; the session musos who have proved the bedrock for so many more transient 'front men'. When they break out for themselves (think Ry Cooder, David Lindley, David S... 

. . . never get the respect they deserve. All about the bass flute? ;-) Re ensemble guitar playing: so many to choose from. Pentangle's pair . . . Pre-Pentangle . . . deserve mention, for sure. To my way of thinking Jaco's a musician's bassist, kinda like... 

Interesting topic! here is a pair from the 80’s : Fleetwood MAC from 1987 and the GMT Master 16700 from 1989. Cuban combo: Orquesta Aragon and Cuervo y Sobrinos And finally opera in Shanghai and a Patek Philippe Annual Calendar. Have a great Sunday Best S...  

Three very different yet truly cool choices, Stefan!

. . . of. Totally different bands, really. All respect to Lindsay Buckingham, who plays solely by ear - he can't read music. Never saw them perform; if I could go back in time to catch one show, it would be the first incarnation. Art

Peter Green might have been the best blues guitarist of the English players. He was B.B. King's favorite. He also recorded with many Chicago legends, most all of whom felt he had the chops to play with them. Otis Spann was another huge fan.

Here we go: Stefan ...  

...  

. . . back in '74 and coming across Secret Treaties . I was intrigued by the album cover, but as the band had little airplay (FM radio was the only way we were exposed to cutting edge music in those days), didn't know who they were, thereby passing up own...
