Yes, I just saw that, too.

This one came up on my iPod selection this afternoon and I cannot resist sharing it, a great delivery of a great song with great sentiment

... and which made me think of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rynxqdNMry4


and then a bit of a leap to the rather mellower trance blues of Otis Taylor

Something I saw earlier today - Bob Dylan on stage with the Heartbreakers a few days ago

and I am sure you have all caught some of the publicity about the upcoming Stones album, Hackney Diamonds

Some nice acoustic versions of recent Cowboy Junkies songs

and something with more bite from a few years ago

Thanks for those Lex. I enjoyed them a lot

Friend was learning to play this one on his guitar, so I had to go look for it on Youtube! Somewhere I have a couple of old tapes from the Alan Parsons Project. Only word is "tasty.."

Wouldn't Want To Be Like You

I still have vinyl copies of the first two Alan Parsons Project album Draclvr. Might have to dig them out and give them a spin when I get the chance.

Wow, new group to me. Enter The Haggis hails from Canada. A good friend will be turning 70 in December and his wife gifted him with a car trip from their home in Louisana to this venue in West Virginia... The Purple Fiddle. Hope you can watch the video he took.

Enter The Haggis

I could not open that link, Drac, but here is another https://enterthehaggis.com/videos

I figured that would happen, Lex. It's a link to the video he posted on his FB page. I was going to post the link you did above, but it doesn't have that particular song. Let me see if I can find it on Youtube.

I can find the song, but not in a concert setting. This is a pretty good video featuring the band... Unfortunately, no bagpipes!

Swallowed bv a Whale

Down With the Ship

Here it is with the bagpipes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaN_1n_wgq8

Thanks, Lex... I looked everywhere! This video has a couple of different band members. Interesting group!

A very interesting band which had escaped my notice previously, although around for over 25 years I think: have just bought two of their albums (quite hard to find at a low price except as a download)

I had never heard of them either - believe they are based in Canada.

A Scottish singer/songwriter who was new to me and one of whose songs featured in a recent TV thriller series Six Four - Frankie Miller (not to be confused with the Country singer of the same name). A dramatic illness interrupted what looked like a very promising career.

Been listening to the Pogues the last few days. I saw them years ago but Shane lasted only a couple of songs.
If you are a fan there is an excellent 2001 doco called If I Should Fall From Grace that you should seek out. How he lasted another 20 years is inexplicable.
Not a lifestyle to embrace but he isn’t the first and won’t be the last destructively flawed artist.
Given the time of year maybe give Fairytale of New York a spin.

His funeral was an impressive party!

You have probably all seen this already, but I only came across it recently - Chris Stapleton at the Super Bowl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcHL0kUFPhw
... and at a more usual venue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9J7217_c-0

I am very weird... I have music in my head ALL the time. I wake up in the middle of the night with music... sometimes It's stuff I hate! It might be some very obscure Christmas carol or a song from my VERY long ago youth that I haven't heard or thought of in 60 years! Last night it was The Little Nash Rambler released in 1958 and according to info I found reached #4 on the Billboard charts. I would have been 11, but I remember it like yesterday. Where does this stuff come from after 65 years!! Those of a certain age might also remember it!

The Little Nash Rambler

Good stuff Drac, and of course the longer term memory survives the later years better than the short term: you are no weirder than I am when it comes to music always being in the head!

This is rather more recent, but one that came to mind as a result of hula hoops cropping up on another thread https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-orj2qcamw

I had to laugh when I looked up the modern hula hoop - it was also 1958. At age 11 I was a hula hoop queen and I could keep it going longer than anyone else!

Isn't it amazing how we can hear a song after decades and remember all the words?

I also have music in my head most of the time.

Stumbled across this today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NcJvi5TYEk
and I like the comment "what kind of world are we going to leave for Keith Richards?"

It will be interesting to see what comes up on the Lou Reed tribute/covers album next month
https://www.goldradiouk.com/artists/rolling-stones/keith-richards-lou-reed-waiting-for-man/

I just got around to listening to Keith's rendition of Waiting and it's wonderful. I was a Lou Reed fan back in the day, when Walk on the Wild Side first played on FM radio. Thanks for that link.
