Salutations™!

Today is the 46th anniversary of Led Zeppelin’s sixth studio album, a double, Physical Graffiti. I really enjoy this album. It’s not my favorite Zep album but it’s not my least, either. What I do find interesting is how much of it is rehashed throwaways from previous albums. Especially when I see which are the “throwaways.” This is not one of the throwaways. And, it’s not often that I get to highlight my friends. I have shared the stage with three of these players, all three on the extreme right side of the video. Clay Howard (whom you hear me talk about a lot), Chad Huskey on guitar and Davidson Smith on percussion. It’s a great song, too. Enjoy!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

“Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream. Here is the path that led me to that place. Yellow desert stream. My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon. I will return again. Sure as the dust that floats high in June when movin’ through Kashmir.” – “Kashmir” (Bonham/Page/Plant)

Salutations™!!

Yesterday, I was part of a video shoot for my pal Clay Howard’s song, “Running Back Again.” We set up a performance stage in an empty warehouse across the street from The Lab at Industry Hill.

The band featured Clay on vocals and rhythm guitar, Davidson Smith on drums, Chad Huskey lead guitar, Joshua West on keyboards and yours truly on bass. The video was directed and shot by my pal Chad Nance and produced by him Carissa. It was just a great time hanging out with my friends playing music, even though we weren’t actually playing music. We played along to a track, for those who don’t know how music videos work.

It was 62ish outside but inside this warehouse, it was probably in the 50s. Everyone complained and bundled up between shots. I thought it felt great, but we know I like it cooler. But, the video should be out in a few weeks to coincide with Clay’s new album release. When it’s released I’ll let you know.

The shot I included was called “Maximum Beeman” by Chad. I say everything is Maximum Beeman.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

I’ve written three articles today so this will be quick. Tonight, at Bull’s Tavern, the July edition of the Friday Night Music Club featuring a whole night of Tom Petty. I will be emceeing the show and I’ll be performing in the show, as well. I’ll be part of the Threadbare Trio + 4. That’s Clay, Neal and me, as usual, but joining us will be Doug Davis, Greg Hurley, Davidson Smith and Susan Snow. We’ll perform six songs. I can’t tell you which six but you’ll like them.15873515_1428930590450353_2994663030644474219_n

Also on the bill is Men in Black doing around six songs and the Vagabond Saints Society doing a plethora of songs. VSS is playing the Summer of Love show for the Summer on Liberty tomorrow, so why not let them do the king’s share of the good songs? It will be a great show if you’re a Tom Petty fan.

The non-profit/charity for this month’s show is the Centers for Exceptional ChildrenCenters for Exceptional Children, the mission of which is to educate, nurture and support children with special needs to reach their highest potential intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically.

As usual, there is no admission fee or cover charge but there will be buckets for donations for the CFEC. It’s a great cause so give freely as you see fit or are able. Bull’s Tavern will also be making a donation from the night’s profits toward the charity. The show starts around 10 with a few acoustic numbers, then Men in Black are up, then us, then VSS. Come hear good musicians and donate to a great cause.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
