When The Levee Breaks
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. Like my children, I share a birthday with a titan of rock music and in my case it's a vocalist from England's West Midlands area. Part of my birthday celebration was to go see him perform this song with Allison Krauss. though the version with his earlier band is perhaps more famous (and more influential on my flanged take here).

Don't Carry It All
Просмотров 1921 день назад
Yeah, life brings burdens and then we take on a few on our own too. But none of us needs to carry them alone. We all can give help, and if we're brave, we can ask for it too. Indeed, next time you see someone staggering consider maybe it's not the weakness of their legs but the weight of what they're carrying by themselves. From one of the most amazing albums I've ever heard, and with apologies...
Can't Find My Blues
Просмотров 41Месяц назад
I was chatting with a friend who recently moved, and reflecting on the experience of having all of your household goods packed away in what may be casually labeled boxes, wondering where stuff is, and finding unexpected items along the way. And thinking wouldn't it be appropriate to maybe take advantage of the fact that your blues are (temporarily?) lost. Moving is, after all, a good occasion t...

Down in a Hole
Просмотров 163 месяца назад
Someone I loved very much passed away very much too young and full of life, very much too suddenly, very much on the shores of dreams denied. She once brought over, as a gift to me, some unusual flowers that stayed closed for a few days and then bloomed all at once in a beautiful explosion. She only lived to be 40, but it was a beautiful explosion, full of light, though at the moment that light...
Change My Way of Living

A blues song written by Dickey Betts. He's not the first member of the Allman Brothers Band to recognize that abuse of drugs (and other things) was causing more problems than it solved, and by all accounts Dickey caused more than his share of problems. Whatever he did to change was all so very fortunate, especially since his son has become such an accomplished artist in his own right. And as a ...
Pride

Five good things I like to remember about Easter: 1) Tragedy hurts. A lot. 2) It is also an invitation to new possibilities. 3) Show, don't tell. 4) There's always a "what's next"? 5) No one can take away your pride. Happy Easter!
I Forgive It All
Просмотров 576 месяцев назад
As my last post was a Tom Petty song about ambiguity, betrayal, and loss, this is one about forgiveness. There's a lyric in "Shotgun Down the Avalanche" (a Shawn Colvin song also performed on this channel) to the effect of the past being stronger than the will to forgive, and not knowing whether to forgive oneself or someone else. Well, yes, and so true. But often forgiveness isn't dependent on...
You Tell Me
Просмотров 836 месяцев назад
A Tom Petty song. Reimagined a bit...with a companion song of his to follow in a future post. "You Tell Me" reminds that love risks not only loss, but betrayal - a risk love takes knowingly. Love is ready to take a little pain, uncertainty and confusion, and sometimes bears all those things. And does so unjustly, though hopefully (as the song's narrator does here) assertively as well.
Isn't It a Pity

For Art Bushkin, who before he was anything else (at least to me), was my neighbor. Back in the dawn of time when bell bottom jeans were not ironic, the Bushkins lived in the house around the corner. Later, well after he'd become so many things, I'd notice these Facebook posts about kindness. And yeah, who, and how, we are to each other is pretty much the most important thing there is, especial...
Carolina In My Mind

For a dear friend who life smacked off course on her way back to Carolina, sending you speedy recovery and good pain management, and thank you to her daughter who suggested the song. And for that matter, good (and responsible) pain management to everyone as well! If it takes a moment to go outdoors, or just meditate so your mind can then go somewhere else, take it. Sometimes your mind knows wha...
25 Decembers
Просмотров 137 месяцев назад
To celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., an offering: a song I wrote for my children: "25 Decembers," which is about the time left (give or take a few - maybe I live longer!), and how blessed I am to be able to share it for my children (and my Dad, my aunt, my brother, his husband, and of course all of you). For Dr. King was not only a national leader, and a pastor to a congregatio...
Come Darkness, Come Light

It's the Winter Solstice, where the world's axis turns on the balance point between waxing light and waning darkness. It's good to be anywhere, as Keith Richards is fond of saying, and yes, "anywhere" can include the darkness. If that's where you find yourself - broken, living out of doors, or just wounded in your soul - may you hang on for the light to return. Wherever you may be, here's also ...
Ghosts Aren't Real
Просмотров 739 месяцев назад
It’s quite popular - and not necessarily wrong - to think that angels are among us, that the person we once knew is somehow with us still, that sprits speak to us from some other reality. I prefer, though, to think the better approach is to accept what’s gone as gone, to let it go, to recognize that memories - even active ones where we experience that person’s presence - are something different...

Happy Birthday Jimi Hendrix! A musician so often rightly regarded as a stellar guitarist that his writing (and vocals) can get overlooked. Here, he shows off some of his trademark writing skills: cool chord inversions (influenced by Curtis Mayfield?), and evocative lyrics. In particular, lyrics that effectively use color to evoke the emotions (as he would again on "Bold As Love") of the lovers ...

Liz Phair song! A college classmate of mine! Much like you were my classmate in junior high... Great sound! Can you play Chuck E.'s in Love? 💚
Thanks! Just getting around to thinking about possibly learning that tune - but I heard it all the time (both the song and the phrase) in junior high!
Well, hell yeah!
your groove touched my soul, thanks for the good vibes man.
Ok, I’m playing this and my wife, hearing from the bathroom, says, “is that Eddie Vetter singing?” 👏🏻
