Sunday afternoon my son Chris put me onto a new group that I’d not heard of before… Old Crow Medicine Show… and, frankly, they’re terrific!
Rather than raving about them with words, let me turn you on to their music.
If this song doesn’t make you want to grab your baby and dance up a storm, then [...]

I’ve been meaning to post this video link for quite a while, but repeated aging boomer brain farts somehow interrupted the synaptic connections that allowed me to complete the task.
Enough with the excuses.
If, like me, you are continuously held captive by the music of Leonard Cohen, then you are in for a real treat when [...]

I watched True Romance, one of my favorite movies of all time, last night.
I’m going to write about the movie itself at a later date, but right now I want to share a link to Chris Isaak’s Two Hearts, the song that director Tony Scott chose to accompany the closing credits.
I turned the DVD player [...]

We return to one of my favorite songs this Saturday morning – Stand by Me.
Today’s version comes courtesy of the late great John Lennon:
It doesn’t get a whole lot better than that, does it?
Well, actually it does.
Don’t believe me?

I’ll venture off the usual path a bit today to do a quick review of an absolutely wonderful resource for guitarists.
I’ve been using my copy of Guy’s Grids — an excellent book about guitar chords — for several weeks now, and I’m very pleased with it.
I’m entirely self-taught, and Guy’s book has literally opened up [...]

For this week’’s meditation, we turn to the late, great jazz musician, Charlie Parker, who wrote…
Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out your horn.
Your life is an on-going symphony of music, but I bet you’ve rarely slowed down and been still enough to realize [...]
It’s a crying shame that Buddy Holly died so young because his talent deserved the time needed to fully bloom.
With that said, he continues to amaze me, even now when I sit here as an aging boomer of 61 instead of as a teenager back in the early 60’s who got goosebumps listening to some [...]

I spend more time than I should visiting a few acoustic guitar forums since my interest in music creation blasted back into existence in January of 2008.
Well, last week a member of one of the forums posted a link to a video that literally gave me goosebumps.
You think I’m exaggerating?
No way… watch it right now [...]

It’s funny, but the older I get the wider and perhaps deeper grow my tastes in music.
I mean, seriously, these days I can find something to like in all kinds of music as well as stuff that many people wouldn’t call music at all.
Anyway, I’d like to share with you a catchy little tune with [...]
