This weekend I am featuring 3 vids of Ry Cooder over the years. He is one year older than I am and I have been listening to him for at least 1/2 my life.
This is from a movie of a concert in Sana Cruz. I love large bands. Ry did not like the way it turned out and refused to allow the movie or DVD to be released in the states. But you know YouTube...
And he is still playing and recording today. Play this one in high def up to 1080.

My musical tastes are somewhat eclectical. I like New Orleans and swing jazz and the big band era. I learned to love clarinet because of Benny Goodman. I learned to live the trombone because of this lady and her family. They are Swedish and almost all of them play mutltiple instruments really well. ENJOY!

Ry Cooder & Fleetwood Mac I like sometimes. We've done Gunhild before, ok but not my thing.
There's one letter between a musical treat and a musical threat.

Your wish is my command:
Legendary group, Hot Tuna, performed a to a SOLD OUT crowd at Jorma Kaukonen's Fur Peace Ranch! Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady, and Barry Mitterhoff are joined by drummer, Skoota Warner in this amazing performance of 99 Year Blues!
edited to add that
For those who do not know Jack and Jorma were a central part of Jefferson Airplane before founding Hot tuna.

Sorry to be a day late but health issues have slowed me a bit. But better later than never.
I began listening the the Rolling stones in the 1960s- 64-67. Most of the songs they did early in ther career were covers as they were not writing their own stuff then. However, when they started it is what got me hooked. For thos of you not around back then here are 3 songs from then which is what got me to be a fan.
The Rolling Stones In Mono Album Released on: 1966-01-01
The songs predate the album.
This one really did it for me.
This one is more recent. The line below was often repeated on the TV Show American Bandstand.

This weekend with be a don;e treat. I will post one night some just great tunes with no spcil theme but the other night will feature all female artists.
My goal in this thread is to introduce ,amu of the younger members to music they have never been fortunate to hear for the most part.
Old age has some advantafes. I turned 18 in 1966. There was an amazing evolution in music in that decade. A previously limited world of music was run by the big recording companies and it squelched many of the best music out there and it was never heard. And then things changed and there was an explosion. This rivaled the big band era from the decades before.
And then came my second experience when in the 1970s with a good friend whom I still have, we started a sound company. I became a part of delivering live music or all sorts to audiences. I used to run the mixing board. The quality of what people heard was in my hands. And I got to meet a lot of great musicians.
For me one of the most important qualities I look for in music is that it relly does make a "joyful noise." When I see an audience almost in an enraptured state. almost lifyed off the ground, dancing and then cheering mmadly at the end of song, when I can see the preformers smiling and almost as consumed by what they are playing as the audience is in hearing, I am in heaven. Sharing this though the vids I am posting here is what motivates me.
Mosic is a universal language.
Stay tuned

I'm too young for the sixties explosion, although there was some good music in there. My cousin was a "freak" who was murdered young, and I inherited his record collection as I was heading into my teens. There was some very good stuff that didn't make the Hendrix/Beatles/Stones pantheon. Some of his best records were blues and jump blues from the 1950s, from which a lot of 60s artists had gotten ideas.
The Sixties had become a dead weight by the time I was deejaying for events. People who had barely reached 30 were saying there would never be music as good as their generation's. Uh huh. I later got to listen to people from the 70s, 80s, 90s, etc say the same thing.
My music was punk, post punk and ska, early electronic dance music, roots and dub reggae, cumbia, highlife, Afrobeat, and onwards. My advice is to go see musicans live. See every good band you want to see (and now, brutally, that you can afford to see). The magic doesn't change, whether you saw someone now seen as a legend, or you go see someone really good who probably won't get as recognized in the current climate. There are brilliant bands out there now. I admit, I don't get it all, or like it all, but gems appear as they always have. It's harder to find them, but keep digging. I know I do and it pays off.
If people tell you about an artist they really like, give it a listen. It only takes a couple of minutes to know if you want to explore it further.
