I do this: I'll really like a band, listen to everything they put out until they release an album that, in my opinion, is underwhelming. I will then stop listening to anything but the earlier albums, only to find, years later, that they did some great stuff after the "underwhelming" album.

Right. I think he gives guitar lessons/seminars there. I saw him do a solo show in Charleston, SC about 3 years ago. He can still play.

Jorma Kaukonen is still around. He was even born in D.C.

This is only another step in his ultimate goal: only white male landowners can vote, just like the Framers intended.

Sadly, I just learned a few minutes ago that we lost one of my favorite songwriters yesterday. RIP Dave Cousins. Thank you for the treasure of music you've left us.

Meg, on the recommendation of my daughter, @thetomatowriter.bsky.social, I bought the trilogy. I've finished the first two books and am looking forward to starting the third soon. I have really enjoyed your work and I'm excited to see what happens with the characters next.

Thank you again, @buddygott.bsky.social , for such a fun challenge.

I end where I started, with Deep Purple, with yet another lineup change. Glenn Hughes, from Trapeze, joins on bass and David Coverdale takes over on vocals for Burn.

I saw him last year in an amphitheatre near Nashville. Opened with Cortez and played two more from Zuma in the encore. Incredible performance.

I was prepared to use another dark Java related song today but, when I was pulling the video up, I found this old Humble Pie number and couldn't resist adding Steve Marriott to the conversation.
