Rest in Peace George Michael... thanks for the great music..

The Claypool Lennon Delirium

Remember the brilliance of Les Claypool's Primus?

Remember Yoko Ono?



I had to look it up, especially after hearing Steve Lennon's voice. I thought John Lennon had been summoned and was playing with Primus.



I will be listening more from this duo.



Merry Christmas!

Gary Clark, Jr Live at Glastonbury 2016

Song number one instantly reminds me of Red Rocks in CO in the rain. "Hey, that guy in the video is playing in the rain too!" #MarijuanasLegalinCO

THE WALL: Pink Floyd

I just read the news.

Dictators killing children.

Capitalist pigs and ignorant politicians gaining power with environmental costs.

Government trying to control my daughters' bodies.

Medical records being hacked.

And Alan Thicke is dead at 69.



As depressing as this album could be, the last song always gives me hope, energy, and happiness. So today, I will listen to the entire The Wall album.

Double Dose of Steel Panther NSFW

Kind of a Weird Al meets Motley Crue.

I give you a double dose, something for both sexes, starting with "She's Tight" (breasts in this one)

and followed up with a classic "Pussywhipped" (scrotums in this one)

IF you are entertained enough, I would suggest looking at "Gloryhole" and "It Won't Suck Itself".

When will Friday finally get here?

Van Halen - Right Now (1992) (Music Video) WIDESCREEN 1080p

Doing some research brought me to this song and this video, which, unfortunately, Right Now has some of the same troubling issues mentioned in this 1991 video by VH.



As much as we feel so much is changing, it is amazing how much still stays the same.

Our house this weekend....

from about minute 3 this is resembles some of the activities we had going on this weekend at our house...

Zico Trio

I woke up in this frame of mind today....

The Zico Trio from Brazil...

Anthony, ya friggin loser...... this one is for you.

Get TrottingTurkey

Flying Turkey Trot from REO SPEEDWAGON....  not sure why that song was buzzing around my head today....

OH Well......

Woke up singing this song today.... not sure what I'm doing while I sleep.... but I know I don't want to wake up...

I have been listening to this one lately. The video is intense.

Safe travels, my man. We will see you in a couple of weeks! KANPAI!

Katy Perry - Rise (NBC Olympics video)

Think what you want about the pop star, but this is an awesome heart-gripping video.

Cage the Elephant, Trouble, Big Gig 2016 Denver

Just one of the great licks that Cage the Elephant put out last Saturday in Denver. Their Encore was Epic!

Back in the Saddle

Bike Song

In looking forward to Ft Collins....  I thought this song might be appropriate...

It's the Bike Song

Before Pearl Jam and Soundgarden...There Was 'The Temple'

Remember when Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell and the rest of Pearl Jam were known as Temple of the Dog?

Right back at ya Emma

Yo Girl... Right back at ya...

Say Hey!

From Emma Today.

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven

This song and Skynard's "Freebird" always hit me in a sweet spot. Classic. Sad. Happy. Rockin'. Considering the news and landscape our kids are surviving in these days. A song like this, I feel, helps one to find themselves.

Keep on Rockin

Singing this one today... thought'd you rather listen to this than me singing     :-)

Party All The Time

What up guys? Been a long time since I posted, but Jake and I got to talking about some Eddie Murphy tonight and I had to throw this one up on the blog...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWa-6g-TbgI

I'M RICK JAMES BITCH!!!

Happy Hour Today?

Tripod - Sweet Caroline - Preparing for Ft. Collins

One of the DCC Choir groups sang this song last night. The crowd joined in. It was a Ft. Collins Flashback, making me have to find something with the same emotion. You are welcome.

Mr Blue Sky

Heard this one last night ... using headphones.... I forgot how cool this was...  and fitting today's weather...  very Beatles sounding isn't it...

Jimmy Fallon Pays Tribute to Prince

Great considering our conversation at beer thirty yesterday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETER !!!

Peter Frampton turned 66 last Friday.... proof that soom good musicians are still alive  :-)

So how cool is this song?....  using the voice box to "make his guitar talk"

Frampton Comes Alive busted on the scenes and made me sit back and say WOW !!

Great Stuff

My Guitar Gently Weeps

That SUCKS ! I was around Prince and his crew in SF.... what an incredibly skilled musician.
what a loss.
This performance shoes some of his guitar work... his fingers could fly.. but he could also sit on that one note just make it sound sooooo good...
Thanks Prince.  - rest in peace.

Purple Rain Prince AVI

His solo is and has always been killer!

R.I.P. Prince - Little Red Corvette

Just heard the news about Prince being the next big musician that has passed in 2016.

He greatly influenced my appreciation for music. This one, was probably my first true love of his.

THROW BACK FRIDAY

Welcome to THROW BACK FRIDAY...

Heard these songs yesterday... thought I'd include them on our blog of hits..

eeny meeny miney moe which way you wanna go

LoCash Cowboys - C.O.U.N.T.R.Y.

Haven't had any country rap in awhile...  fun to listen to, funner to look at

Kill the Medicine Man

This is a cool song...  Kill the Medicine Man by Ron Gallo....

There's an electric version of this out there that rocks..

check it out.

Blizzard of Ozz

Combining SHE'S GOT LEGS..... with the weather.... we get this song from the Blizzard of Ozz record... one of my favorite OZZY records.... with a Japanese female guitarist playing along...  more than the leggs.... check out some of the guitar riffs that on the record go almost unnoticed....

oh... and gotta love the poor English at the beginning of the vid....

Dixie Chicks - Goodbye Earl

And my favorite one by "the Chicks".

Dixie Chicks - Not Ready To Make Nice

Watching how crazy... fanatical that humans can get. Reminds me of a few words that Dixie Chicks said way back when so many people were not happy we were going to war. They paid the price by being shunned by the country music industry. This was their anthem years later. They play September 1st at Fiddler's Green. I am thinking of giving my money to them.

Ode to Donald Trump - In the Flesh

Freakish similarities. Beware of the Facist Pig.

Something in common...

Albert Collins and I have something in common...

I ain't drunk yet.

Goodbye to the fifth Beatle

George Martin passes away...   in tribute... Sgt. Peppers...

Don't let me forget to tell you about this from Friday night .... Wobble Baby!

Been Working All Week

Dedication to my reason for lack of dedicating this week:

Nashville Pussy - Go Motherfucker Go (Live Trabendo, 10.12.2002)

Farewell to a great band !!

I just learned one of my favorite Ausie bands called it quits after a long run...

Power Finger call it quits last August...  Here are two good songs from their 15 or so albums....

Sunset

And from their last show... These Days

Can I interest you in sucking on my big toe?...

San Fransico base Red7 from 1985..... Love those 1980's synth sounds.... ranks right up there with Mr Mr..... and gotta love the line.... CAN I INTEREST YOU IN SUCINGON MY BIG TOE

SHEL - 'Moonshine Hill' ::: Second Story Garage

I ran across this Colorado (Ft. Collins) band comprised of four young, talented women. They will have a concert in town on April 30th at Stargazers Theater. I will probably contribute to their Pledge Music album. Great voices, and this particular tune is really rockin'. Enjoy, and TGIF!

Squinted eyes

Mom to daughter: OH SWEETIE... DID I PULL YOUR PIG TAILS BACK TO TIGHT?

Daughter to mom: NO.... I'M ENJOYING MYSELF

Wait what?....  You're turning Japanese ??!!!

Sing Along Thursday

I had other plans for today after an amazing Jazz Ensemble concert last night... but this is trending, and I couldn't help myself but sing along.
Enjoy.

Wynton Marsalis Plays Blue Note Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra 2015

The Discovery High School Jazz Ensemble is playing tonight at the HS Theater at 7pm. I think we are going to check it out. Should be good considering what we have heard and seen in elsewhere. Come join us!



To get you in the mood, I pulled up this swingin' concert with Wynton Marsalis.

Happy Birthday, Pops! And Good Luck Emma!

My dad is 70 today and Emma is taking her drivers permit test this morning. So, I dedicate two road songs for them both.

First, Emma...

And for Pops...

Yello - another good one...

Shot eye no why.. I'm in love with you - whatever the heck he says...

and gotta love the fart sound...

For John Hughes' Birthday Yesterday

Yello - Oh Yeah (Official Video) HD Original



How better to open the door into the weekend than sharing this oddball song introduced in John Hughes' "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"... the cherry Corvette introduction. You know the one.

The Temperance Movement - Only Friend (Rehearsal Session)

These guys are going to be at the Ride Festival in July in Telluride with Pearl Jam and my boys, Cage the Elephant!!

PEN** SONG

The only way to follow that last post is with this...

No Music But Current Event: New Zealand PM Struck by UFO

A turkey trot for a lonely heart....

WTF? ....

Maybe better at Thanksgiving.. but here'S one from the past FLYING TURKEY TROT....  I HAD to learn how to play this one when I was in high school... Gary Richrath from REO Speedwagon... another one of those we lost in 2015....

and... what I think is one of the best produced.. best sounding records..... YES 90125 and owner of a lonely heart..... and yes.... Chris Squire bassist... the only guy to play on all of the Yes studio albums also gone this year....

Son of a bitch , what a song !!

Know this one?... not sure how long he can sing like this... but it'll make you get up and dance..

Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats

no where's my friggin drink !!! ??

Eagles - Hotel California Live. At The Capital Centre, 1977.

I was looking for something way different and saw your dog locked up.

Why would this product choose a Beagle?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001RMMWHY?keywords=suction%20cup%2010mm&psc=1&qid=1455374535&ref_=sr_1_18&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011&rps=1&sr=8-18-spons



Happy Saturday!

KISS RULEZ!



And lastly, my most favorite song to come out of our week's time period:

Hotel California by The Eagles

The Knights !!

The Knights... as they were called when rumors said their band name meant KNIGHTS IN SATIN'S SERVICE

Written in Detroit.... band from New York.. KISS and Rock and Roll all nite.. 1978

on Strings Radio-o-o-o-o    enter Wolfman Jack howl...

Bob Marley-Waiting in Vain - 1977

Vaiting in Weien from the Exodus Album by Bob Marley and the Wailers in 1977.



I like this time period themes... lets do my high school years, 1987-1991 next week.

Bay City Rollers - Saturday Night ('76)

I have this on vinyl.

Think of "So I Married an Axe Murderer" every time I hear it now.

1979 - Pink Floyd - The Wall

To installments for hump day...

"laddie fancies himself a poet"

Gotta play this one...

Life's been good... Joe Walsh..... when this album came out I couldn't believe he was in the Eagles.... loved this album.... lots of cool songs..

THE CARS ― Good Times Roll

With the traffic coming home from the World Champions Denver Bronco Celebration Parade yesterday, I couldn't help but think of this 1978 full album... The Cars, The Cars (so nice, they named it twice).

Get The Load Out

Jackson Brown Load Out/ Stay....  from 1979

the was one of the best slow dance songs.... because it's looooong... oh... I think we are touching...
SCHAAAA - WIIIING !!

Foxy - Get Off (Original Video) 1978

So many things about this song and this "original video"... but most pressing is:

Is this where the "wooh wooh" came from?

So we can GET OFF!?!



I'm taking my girls and my nephew to Denver

So we can GET OFF!

with the World Champion Denver Broncos

Ode to Indianapolis Colts to Peyton: Player - Baby Come Back

1978

They have a real knack for rock n roll

These guys have a real KNACK for rock n roll... the Knack.. with the #1 song of 1979

and yep.... I was in high school...

gotta love this guitar solo...

Primus - Tommy The Cat

DOH! How could I have forgotten that big bass on Les Claypool? This reminds me of California in the early 90s. This was on the Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey Soundtrack, and sadly, my first introduction to Primus.

RIP MAURICE

Maurice White the founding member and lead singer of E.W.F has passed...

in tribute.. one of my favorite E.W.F songs...

How about if we use this to start a theme for next week... theme being 1976-1979

that a way to take charge Strings..... tell them what to do.

John Paul....

He's often forgotten about.... but had some cool bass lines...  JPJ with John Bonham was a crazy good rhythm section.... Here's ROYAL ORLEANS

Actually was looking at guys like.. Bootsy Collins, Cliff Burton, Robert Trujillo from Metalica... Billy Shean.....there's a lot of great players...

As I write this my youtube went on to the next song... Ten Years Gone by Zeppelin... AWESOME !

Comaneci

Soulive George Porter Jr, Warren Haynes - Aint No Use - 3/14/14 - Bklyn ...

I have been thinking of an artist worthy of this week's bassist challenge. Once I came up with George Porter, Jr as my first choice (Killer Meters, Meters, etc), then the next challenge was finding the best video of him... his a magnificent in all of his live videos. This was a cool collection of talented artists.

Stuart Hamm

Stuart Hamm is a sessions bassist... played with Joe Satriani, Yngwie and a ton of others....  this is kinda cool.... get yer foot a stompin'

YYZ

Here's one of my favorite rock bassists.... Getty Lee from RUSH....  This is the song YYZ played in Rio

Wonder why they call the song YYZ?  YYZ is the identifier for the Toronto airport... when flying in to Toronto  the airport broadcast its identifier.. and in Morse code it sounds like the rhythm of the introduction of this song...

now you know the REST of the story.....

IT'S AMAZING..... Grace...

Can't do bass solos without including Victor Wooten ... you know him from Bella Fleck and the Flecktones...

WOW !! notice how he tunes his string up to finish the tune...

Mystical Adventures

OK I suggest a new twist to this blog... for all of next week... lets look at cool bass solos....  This song is the French jazz violinist Jean Luc Ponty.. love this album !!... but check out the bass solo starting at 2:28... that's our friend Mr. Randy Jackson.. the judge from American Idol.... and jazz sessions player...  SAAAA==WEEEEEET !!

R.I.P. Abe Vigoda

A lot of deaths the beginning of this year.

This time an actor... known for his role in Godfather and Barney Miller.

Over ten years ago I had a friend that had a web app indicating whether Abe was still alive or not since rumors around his death appeared often.

To the man who's name made it into a Beastie Boys lyric.

"You know I got rhymes like Abe Vigoda"

Ways to get high

Pop Evil... Ways to get high.......    HIGH - IGH - IGH - IGH !!

ORANGE CRUSH !!

I've got my spine I've got my orange rush...

Nice job Broncos !! SUPERBOWL HERE WE COME !!!

Never been any Reason

Jan 21 1974.... young Doug.. only 10 years old gets Head East - Flat as a Pancake for his birthday...the lucky fugger !! of course he also got Barry Manilow I write the Song too.... and no he not gay... he' happily married....

In tribute to that cold Iowa day.....

Goodbye Glen Frey

Another great passes on.. and will be missed...

Lots of good memories around the Eagles and this song..  Thanks Glen for all the good music... and for putting Winslow Arizona on the map..

Eagles - Heartache Tonight - Live / Rest in Peace, Glenn Frey

One of my all-time favorites. Played it loud to my girls last night when I heard the news of Glenn's passing. I especially love the cadence of,

"We can beat around the bushes,

We can get down to the bone,

We can leave it in the parking lot,

but either way there's gonna

Be A Heartache Tonight, a heartache tonight, I know."



-- break my heart, babe

POLICE ACADEMY (1984) THE BLUE OYSTER "SALAD" BAR

Dedication to Jason: It's Been One Week!

Hoping your first week of the Academy was hot like wasabi!

Look up here... I'm in heaven

Been listening to this song lately.... David Bowie... released on his birthday less than 72 hours before he died...

the first line is "look up here.. I'm in heaven"

Here come da fuzz

Jay.. this goes out to you Buddy... been thinking about you and hope everything is going well since your Jan 11 start.

Here come da Fuzz...

Here come da judge!!

Just back from jury duty.....  I be rejected.... but it did bring back memories of this song.... proof that you can find ANYTHING on youtube.

This is Pigmeat Markham and Here come the judge... not a bad rap for 1968.

David Bowie

One of the most unique guitar riffs in this song.. he wanted something different so he had the guitarist mess up the tuning.. and the end result is awesome.

R.I.P. David Bowie

A little light-heartedness this day when sad news of the death of Ziggy Stardust. He just turned 69 last week.

For the Weekend: Fatboy Slim - Ya Mama [Official Video]

PUSH THE TEMPO! TGIF!

Mötley Crüe - Live Wire (Official Music Video)

And one of my all-time favorite Motley Crue songs!

"Because I'm ALIVE!"

Motley Crue's final show in LA New Years Eve 2015.

Jenny told us about this rollercoaster when they saw The Crue last month... however, around minute 4 the coaster got stuck on New Year's Eve. Funny to hear Tommy banter with the crowd. A little long in length (that's what Pamela said).

Tear in my heart

Is that a tear in my heart?... or a pot hole?.... love the lyric " ... to not use my taxes to fill holes in concrete.

21 Pilots singing A Tear In My Heart..

WE'LL MISS YOU LEMMY

I went to this guy's hotel room in Tokyo at about noon... he was still in his bed. polishing off a bottle of Jack Daniels that he started earlier that morning...

We lost Lemmy Kilmister from MotorHead yesterday..

In tribute to Lemmy..
