Alright folks, I am off to bed a bit early tonight because my kids have lice and I have to bring them in for treatment early tomorrow before they go to school. Never a dull moment around here! And there has been another slew of outstanding vids from you folks. Going down all these rabbit holes is going to keep me busy for quite a while.
And you'll have to forgive my less than gentlemanly rant about Christmas. All in good fun. Although it does make my head explode when the Christmas things start to come out in November. Ok, I'm done.
Thank you for all that has come this week, and here's the latest:
YorkSteve - Restless Legs - I can relate to this song, lol. Never thought to write a song about. This is a catchy one too. I certainly have never heard it before. I love when I find a really good, obscure band and every now and then you turn somebody onto them and they get just as you do. Good stuff here.
RAB11 - Two Against One - Poor Nathan. Hope he feels better soon. I like Jack White a lot. Don't think I've ever heard this one before. Looking forward to hearing the original as I like this version here. Nice solo bit there. I've been working my way up to that for about seven years. I'll get there someday, lol. Great stuff.
pabrizzer - There Is A Time - From The Andy Griffith Show! That's getting obscure. Yeah, I used to watch that show a bit, don't remember ever hearing this tune though. I really like it. Nice harp bit there. Really good bring for the week.
YorkSteve - The Right Track - I absolutely love this song! And yeah, I probably never would have heard it if it weren't for TCK. Pretty sure I played this on one of the radio shows I did. If not, TCK certainly has. I believe Hopeton Lewis also performed on that track. Nice, mellow take on this. I really enjoyed it. Such a great tune. Thanks!
xommen - Kiss The World Beautiful - Lovely tune. Never heard it before. Bit tragic yet optimistic at the same time. Very nice. I like the progression a lot. Looking forward to hearing the original.
xommen - Have An Angel Walk With Her - Cool tune. I like the echo you used for this. The more I listen the more I really like this song. Great addition to the week.
Tootler - Long, Long Ago - I love the history lesson in the notes. I love Don't Wait Under The Apple Tree and had no idea of it's roots. I have never heard of*Thomas Haynes Bayly. I knew you would have no trouble coming up with something off most folks' radar. This is a gem.
turtledrum - I’m Only Sleeping - I'm pretty sure that by the time I bought a copy of Revolver this was on it. I only really got into The Beatles around 1988 after I started working as a DJ at an ice rink. A friend of mine there opened my eyes to The Beatles. This has since become one of my favorite songs of theirs. But, yeah, a deep cut for sure, and very welcome for this week. I love your take on this. Much more dreamy than the original. Very nice.
BigDaddyUker - Absolutely Right - Well you got me. I've never heard this tune in my life. And really it's not about stumping me but more about you folks playing your favorite hidden gems. Whether or not I know the tune is irrelevant. This is quite a catchy tune. I'm looking forward to hearing the original.
AlanDP - Singing Waterfall - Hank Williams? I've never heard that song before! No really, I haven't. No doubt TCK knows this tune. He does a Hank show every year. Certainly sounds like Hank. I really like it a lot.
Recovering Bassist - Then I’ll Stop Going For You - Gotta get me a banjo uke. I really like this. New to me. Real folky stuff. Very nice!
Recovering Bassist - The Weakness Of Two Hearts - Only your second take? Damn. Another one new to me. I have to learn how to do that walk up/walk down thing someday. Good stuff.
TCK - Please Daddy Don't Get Drunk This Christmas - Hahaha. Yes, this is driving me crazy. Great tune, but it's not December yet. I give Eileen a hard time about that stuff too. She wants to hang up the tinsel in November. lol. I'm sure I must have heard this song from you at some point. But maybe not. GREAT tune. Sad though. So glad I'm not that dad, though you should have seen me last Christmas with the in laws here!
Demimondaine - She’s Dandy - Haha, I love this. Being arrested for wearing pants. Unbelievable this is a part of history. People are nuts. Really creative tune. Thanks for this.
TCK - Comic Book Writer - Yay! And it's not a Christmas song. I don't think I've ever heard this, though it's connected to two of my faves. Great addition you two. And thanks to Jon for writing it. And I'm so glad the ice rink there in Santa Rosa survived. My step mom had her first job there as a kid.
