Very sad to hear if the passing of Mick Abrahams on December 19th. Mick was the founding member of Jethro Tull, and his blues influences wer quite evident on the debut album, This Was. Mick left and went on to form Blodwyn Pig.
Blessings to you Mick!

Fifty-six years ago today, in what must have been an add on show at the “NewOld Fillmore”, as it’s not listed on the poster for that set of shows. Released as the 2013 Bonus Disc to Dave’s Picks vol. 6 (which had recordings from the 12/20/69 show).

Welcome to day 23 in my 2025 Holiday Musical March to New Year’s. Today’s entry was recorded in September of 1977, for Bing Crosby’s holiday special (which Bing himself would not see, having died just a few weeks after filming).

31 years ago today in the Los Angeles Sports Arena, in LA, NOT Atlanta, GA. Night 4 of the run. I was there and remember enjoying the show almost as much as the Branford show in the 16th. One if the few times I got to hear Days Between.

Day 22 of my 2025 Holiday Musical March to New Year’s. Again going back to my childhood and one of “those” albums my parents had on the “hi-fi”. The Ray Conniff Singers and their medley of Let It Snow>Count Your Blessings.

Happy Holidays!

Day 21 in my 2025 Holiday Musical March to New Year’s. Christmas music was basically these four albums. Two albums of Ray Conniff, one Andy Williams and this album by the Brothers Four. Today I give you “Christmas Is A Comin’”.

31 years ago, day 3 of 4 at the Sports Arena in LA, not in Atlanta, GA. I was there, but after the “heft” of Branford on night 2 I remember very little of the show but a good Tom Thumb’s in the first set and a big Terrapin in the second.

Day 20 in my 2025 Holiday Musical March to New Year’s. White Christmas is the most recorded single of all time (per Guinness) and probably the most recognizable secular Christmas song of all time. Released in 1942 as part of the Holiday Inn soundtrack.

Day 19 on my 2025 Holiday Musical March to New Year’s. After hearing this particular track off of the George Shearing Quintet’s Christmas album, I knew I have it in the collection. The “Take Five” rhythm that George plays throughout drew me in immediately.

This is where I was 31 years ago! The LA Sports Arena, enjoying the Grateful Dead with Branford Marsalis sitting in for the whole show. Hearing him on those opening notes, you knew it was gonna be good!
(he skipped the Lucy in the Sky encore).

Thirty-one years ago at the Sports Arena in LA (don’t believe what it says in the archive). The first of 4 nights. I was there for all 4, and they came out of the gate running, with Shakedown Street.

Here we are at day 18 of my 2025 Holiday Musical March to New Year’s. 10 days till Christmas (9 for shopping) and Hanukkah has begun. Béla Fleck & The Flecktones are ALWAYS a favorite of mine, and have always loved their unique take on “The Twelve Days”.

A rainy David Crosby Monday morning to you all! Thanks to my friend, Julie, I was reminded that it’s the 55th anniversary of this David & the Dorks show at the Matrix. Seemed fitting to recognize if only for the Crosby connection.

Good day, eh! Day 14 in my 2025 Holiday Musical March to New Years. Today’s entry by the Kinks was specifically asked for by my buddy Pizzaman, even though it wasn’t originally on this year’s list. Rock on Dave, rock on!
