LOL! If you were interested knowing the facts, you would have checked them yourself. 

Hint: It's situation normal. 

Blondie - Island Of Lost Souls

Debbie Harry's still hot, likely.

I thought I had related this story in one of our music threads, but I sure can't find it, even with moderate searching...........    At one of the Jazzfests (this one was early '90s), a group of us were watching the Allman Brothers do their thing.  Huge crowd, at the biggest stage there.  They were in one of their jams, with Warren and Dickie struttin' their stuff.  So.........one can see a guy backstage (you can see 'thru' the stages there) strapping on a guitar.  (It's not unusual to see all kinds of guest appearances and conglomerations at Jazzfest, since the milieu is so thick with hot players.)  Kinda moved like Dylan, and sure enough it was.  So........with no introduction (as if one was needed), mid-song, he comes out, struts right up to Dickie, literally toe-to-toe, and they just go at it in a duel.  Incredible.  To say the crowd went nuts is an understatement, of course.  And then he stuck around for a couple more numbers - but that duel went on for maybe 7-8 minutes(?).  A highlight. 

So..................just now, I happened upon this:

Dickey Betts' opinion of Bob Dylan (youtube.com)

I had no idea, but maybe I should have.  (BTW, I've been around Billie Joe Shaver some, too.  He's kinda a 'rougher' Guy Clark.)  (Also, btw.............you can probably skip the last third of so of that video.)

*Extremely* high-quality audio:

Very interesting (and international) backstory to that song, for those who want to know more....

Temp here is currently 42°

Well, thanks, but that's not really any extra info - or not much. (But would have never guessed it was a take-off of a Carter Family song.) I'm particularly interested in knowing who the drummer was.  Sounds like Keltner, who I know has worked with Bobby in the past, but it also kinda sounds too 'punchy'(?).  Not to mention he's gotta be gettin' on in years. Super-good licks, whoever.  The overall sound has a very T-Bone Burnett feel to it.  Surely there's session info out there somewhere. 

Ah, now ok. George Recile.  Cajun guy, I think.  Heard his name, but not very familiar.  Thanks.

It's Receli 

Technically, legally, no.  Depends on whether one is in on the 'joke', or not.

I was curious why you were corrected about the spelling of his name when the picture from the book posted above clearly says Recile. After a bit of digging (including the meandering discussion in discogs), it's pretty clear George doesn't care how it's spelled. At least, he's made no effort to correct the misspelling. 

Exactly.  And just for the record............I was aware of the dichotomy when I first posted his name.

The Rolling Stones "Emotional Rescue"

My girlfriends like it when I mimic Jagger to this tune (clothed or no).

Update from an earlier post in an earlier thread - somewhere.........

In one of the several music threads, we were discussing SRV and his brother, Jimmie, and I related an incident in which a large banner advertising the Fabulous Thunderbirds 'somehow' found its way into my possession after their show.  At that time, I wasn't sure that that item still existed, but it does, and here it is.

LOL! Wow! A real collectors’ item!

A true piece of crap. Burn it 🔥

Yeah...........totally unfortunate your bonfires are so far away........     Sigh. 🙄

Oh, they still use flyers on telephone poles around here. And TN should be so lucky.

This is now more than 50 years old; Jerry (on banjo, of course!), Dawg, and all the guys are phenomenal, but the genius of Vassar really shines here.  For those few youngsters hanging around this site, who may not know all this music, here's the whole album:

Very nice, TN. Lots of talent on display. 

I saw an interesting musical quite recently, “Girl from the North Country,” based on songs by Bob Dylan. I love live performance, and I'm a big fan of Dylan's songs, so I knew I'd be happy. 

From the beginning, it was clear that this musical was more about the songs than developing a solid story line, which was fine with me. The songs and the context of the plot were only loosely connected. However, the musical performances were outstanding. Lots of strong voices and some beautiful interpretations that often were a bit afield from Dylan's original recordings. In Act Two, the plot got more convoluted with some bizarre and undeveloped twists. For example, two of the women end up pregnant, one apparently by some sort of immaculate conception. I viewed the plot in much the same way as I view opera: you know that the female protagonist is going to die suddenly and tragically, and that's the only way you know the performance is ending. As long as the singing is good, who cares?

After the cast took their final bows, the audience was ushered out of the theater with The Birds' version of "My Back Pages." Seemed appropriate. 

How curious - NOT - as I have that very thing as a tab on my machine right now, and listened to it twice just day before yesterday.  I know I've posted it before - and I even started a thread with the lyrics once upon a time - but what the heck.....it's worth repeating.  In fact...............it's one of the very best videos on the net ('cause I've seen them all.  LOL.):

And just think................*that concert* was *itself* 30+ years ago!!

Well, what the heck again - here is that thread from 14+ years ago.  Ignore the mild(ish) political content.

I neglected to include the name of the musical. It’s “Girl from the North Country.”  

The stars aligned and I was able to see Sonny Landreth this weekend. It was a small venue, and we were three rows back. His band consisted of bassist Rene Coman of the Iguanas (the openers) and a young drummer who’s name I cannot recall.   

He opened with a fairly quiet set with Landreth on dobro. He finished a bit noisier with traditional electric guitars. The man is a master. I have never seen anyone better in a live performance. And such incredible range. 

Ok -- it's fairly hard to achieve this -- but you got my jealous bone 🦴 all riled up.  Tickled for you!

(And the Iguanas are *usually* a sure bet, too, though once I saw them when there was a 'sameness' to their set.  That was at Jazzfest, and I suspect they had been up all, or most, of the night jamming somewhere around town with other hot cats.  Or.....it could be that in that setting, my memory is just overwhelmed by other acts that particular day?  And I know Coman is about as steeped in the N.O. milieu as one can get.)

The Iguanas were unknown to me but really excellent. The name of the tour was Louisiana Calling, so their Tejano/Conjunto style was a surprise. But they are good at it. (As for the sameness … the Fest aspect may be dead on. Landreth talked about a recent music festival in N.O. where the Iguanas played 5 sets per day three days in a row.) 

Coman is really solid. The consummate pro. The drummer was young and seemed to be suffering a bit under the pressure of wanting to be perfect. 

I know we talked about Landreth earlier, but his craftsmanship is spectacular. He works his slide with his left hand pinkie and the other fingers on the slide hand tapping the strings above the slide while his right hand a blur.

(I found it curious that he played the dobro with a chrome slide and the second set with glass. I found a pic of Buffalo Nichols on dobro, and he was using a metal slide.)
