Music Thread (post a song)

Well, for me this is the definitive Deep River Blues.

He gives a lesson on how to pick it, then plays at about 1:56.

I always liked these.

 

A song for Memorial Day:

 

Several years ago we attended a show by Roy Book Binder, kind of a fringe player on the early-60s folk scene. Of course he was as full of stories as songs. He worked for a while as the driver and gofer for the Rev. Gary Davis, a renowned ragtime picker who was "rediscovered" in the '60s along with musicians like Mississippi John Hurt. Some of his storytelling is available on YouTube.

 

This has been stuck in my head for the last couple days. Maybe this will serve as an exorcism.

"Radio London reminds you,
go to the church of your choice..."

 

Just watched Klute and was amazed by this part of the score:

 

My favorite Who album. Some of Pete’s greatest songs, and goofy ads/radio jingles mixed in.

 

Played live Wednesday night for the first time ever:

 

Happy birthday to the late, great Curtis Mayfield

 

What a treat this is
Recorded at a book party for June Carter, held under a tent on top of the Cash tennis court, Johnny and Rosanne do a duet on Tennessee Flat Top Box

 

Well, I saw you last night
Down on the avenue
Your face was in the shadows
But I knew that it was you
You were standing in the doorway
Out of the rain
You didn't answer
When I called out your name
You just turned and then you looked away
Like just another stranger waiting to get blown away

Point blank
Right between the eyes
Point blank
Right between the pretty lies you fell
Point blank
Shot straight through the heart
Yeah, point blank
