The phrase "hayh past nine" is so gratifying somehow.

First heard John the Revelator performed by Gov't Mule and still love the way they do it.

That Son House was my first. Love the Blind Willie Johnson, too

Good evening from the Holmes family!!

Kris Holmes:

loving the country blues
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:19pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Holmeses!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:20pm
Uncle Michael:

I sought out the Son House as soon as I'd been exposed to the song. Warren's take is based on the Son House.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:28pm
Funky16Corners:

Powerful stuff
Avatar 10:33pm
Kris Holmes:

as a pubescent blues guitar prodigy i spent a lot of time devouring all that stuff through my teenage years. it was mind expanding. i am infinitely worse at playing it these days, wish i'd kept up on it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:34pm
Funky16Corners:

It's some of my favorite music.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:41pm
Uncle Michael:

I used to really rely on the Red Telephone blog.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:43pm
Funky16Corners:

Me too
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:43pm
Uncle Michael:

One of my dad's old flames' brother was a founding member of Love and the Standells. I was supposed to get to dine with him a few years back but it didn't happen.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:45pm
Funky16Corners:

Wow!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:46pm
Uncle Michael:

I guess he joined the Standells after he left Love in '66, so not a founding member.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:46pm
Funky16Corners:

That's still heady company to keep
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:47pm
Uncle Michael:

John Fleck(enstein)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:48pm
Uncle Michael:

The dinner out happened, but John ended up begging off.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:49pm
Funky16Corners:

That would have been cool.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:50pm
Uncle Michael:

I half suspected he got wind that a music fan was part of the party and that's why he begged off.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:51pm
Funky16Corners:

That's too bad. I wonder what business he's in now?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:52pm
Uncle Michael:

Probably dreaded "What was Albert Lee really like?" and "What was it like growing up in Boston?"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:53pm
Uncle Michael:

I don't know. he was playing with the reformed Standells a couple years ago, but according to Wikipedia he's back to "past member". maybe Wikipedia never got wind of the reunion.
Avatar 10:53pm
Kris Holmes:

I saw John Fleck live doing both Love & Standells songs with The Standells & Johnny Echols at the Ponderosa Stomp in 2013. They had a panel discussion too which was extremely interesting.
Avatar 10:54pm
Kris Holmes:

never heard the labelle version of won't get fooled, awesome
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:56pm
Uncle Michael:

John has a couple of writing credits in the Love catalog.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:57pm
Doug Schulkind:

Sorry about the Internet gremlins, Larry. They nip our heels they do.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:58pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Doug! I comfort myself thinking it was that little green guy with wings on his head from Bugs Bunny.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:00pm
Doug Schulkind:

We should just give that little green guy his own show already.

Hi Doctor!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:08pm
Uncle Michael:

I don't think the rest of the LP is the Spotlights.

Cast Off...is the beginning of Gregg's association and freindship with Jackson Browne.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:08pm
Funky16Corners:

No but it features prime early Leon Russell
