Blues and folk music legend Brownie McGhee was born on this date in 1915. McGhee often played alongside Sonny Terry (1911-1886) – with McGhee’s guitar & Terry’s harmonica making for a potent combination. McGhee passed in 1996 – but any one of his many albums on Folkways offers a solid introduction.

Remembering George on the 24th anniversary of his passing. Sending thoughts to Olivia and Dhani and all of George’s nearest & dearest.

“We who love music, we love the people who make it, we love the sound of it, and we love what it does to us, how it makes us feel, how it helps *us* love.” - George

Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary:

His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

24 years ago today George Harrison took another step towards moksha. Earlier this year I compiled a People’s Playlist of his music guided by scores of Bluesky responders. Each song here is somebody’s very favourite George-related track. Three hours, ’63-‘01. Enjoy.

Good morning! I took the opportunity of the BEATLES ANTHOLOGY's streaming debut to write about THE COMPLEAT BEATLES, the (imho) far superior Fab Four doc, and why, because of the ANTHOLOGY, it's so hard to see.
