Used this beatiful book in class today:

Remembered that I’ve a 12inch single from DWIG, and heard it loud this evening.

Video Footage from ‘Flowers and Trees‘ from 1932.

Talking about Tom Waits; Down by Law from Jim was a revaluation in my adolescence!

Last post for the night.  A band/singer/performer that I really like.  Progressive Rock - Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree.

Fifty years ago todayJimi Hendrix died. I was fortunate to get to see him three times. I need the shirt that says I’m Old But I Saw All the Cool Bands. To this day I think he was the greatest rock guitar player ever.

@Jett129 you have been lucky enough to have seen Jimi 3 times, and these guys as well

I was lucky enough to see him when he was fit in 1973 in Spokane, WA.

Music has always been an incredibly big/important part of  my life. Feel fortunate to have grown up,during the musical eras, that I did.

@Jett129 I bet you could write a book about the venues that you have played and the bands that you have seen.  Any chance you can share a story about a memorable meeting/performance.

I love this kind of stuff.

@Graham Big thanks for the Deftones mention last night.  The new song definitely has a White Pony vibe (favourite album from them).  I can't wait until the full album drops (Sep 25).

.  The most memorable meeting was when I got to be backstage for a performance by Ginger Bakers Airforce,during which he took one of the most outrageous drum solos I had ever seen,so intense that his shirt ripped in the back. Afterwards I saw him walking around,got hold of a pen and a piece of paper and summoned up the courage to go up to him and say That was the most amazing feat of drumming I had ever seen,could I possibly have your autograph?…To which he replied “Fuck off man,it’s not cool” and turned his back and walked away from me. I was crushed,and for years whenever he would come up in conversation I would say “If he was on fire,I wouldn’t piss to put him out”.

@Jett129  Thank you for sharing.

I went digging this weekend and watched some of his work. Very talented and intensely focused while playing.

It is fun knowing a backstory about a performer because they now have another dimension to them when listening to their performances.

I was watching this video and Bayliss is wearing an IHSH-13. It has to be, western, snaps, pocket flaps, perfect length, etc. It looks a bit light, but it’s got to be a 13. And this is from ‘14, so that means Umphrey’s has been in the game for years…
