All the blues all the time. An antidote to the moribund, corny and/or humorless blues programming generally found on the radio.

Ella Fitzgerald does a great (kinda rare for her, blues) cover of Cherry Red.

Zinn The Mood:

Hey Blues peeps. This set is hitting the spot during a particularly blue week. Mourning a bass player friend who died of Covid last week (was very immunocompromised), the Buffalo white supremacist massacre and reading a book that was mentioned in a James Baldwin bio called “Home To Harlem,” which is set in 1920’s blues drenched uptown.
I’m sitting in the park with the sun going down over the Hell Gate/East River listening while watching the kids play on the playground.
Thanks.

Hey, Zinn. Sympathy and solidarity, friend.

Nothing dirty about it. They said right there in the song, "poon-tang" is just huggin' and a-kissin.'

I had thought of Rick Wakeman only as the guy who protested A&M signing the Sex Pistols. Newfound respect!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:36pm

Who wrote Wakeman's speech, Rodney Dangerfield?

slugluv1313:

@Zinn -- i am so sorry to hear this -- sending love and blessings and hopeful, positive energy
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:38pm
ultradamno:

I didn't know that one, I knew Ronstadt and Frampton had issues with The Ramones being on Sire...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:40pm
ultradamno:

...though I imagine Rotten would retroactively protest the Sex Pistols signing himself, considering what a fan of the royals he's become.
  Swag For Life Member 7:40pm
Zinn The Mood:

Thanks all.

Wakeman is such a character, wonderful story teller. Great but - thanks! Don’t care what anyone says, I fucking LOVE Yes! So much so that it’s ridiculous. He’s done some great celebration performances interpreting all sorts of stuff. Thanks for the nod to RW.

Keep da blues coming…

  7:41pm
Edward:

Huh wasn't Ronstadt on Geffen?

Maria Muldaur did a whole tribute album to Blue Lu Barker that ain't bad at all.

Asylum I mean, not Geffen

I think Frampton was on A&M...I don't know if he had anything to say about the Pistols for the minute they had them

Ronstadt was on record liking Television though.
