awesome: Awesome.

TexasToest: I personally think he would have been bigger now. I think he would have changed w/ the times but still be the same. Definitely had a singing voice that was very soothing to the ear compared to some nowadays. I heard awhile ago that his death was not an accident (something to do about the enviroment)& when someone found out, they rigged his plane. I can't remember who mentioned it but it was on a radio program late night

MagicDragon: MD, good to see you. I think we were talking about John Lennon, not John Denver.

gogul: I know. What a time to lose one of the greats.

John Lennon - Imagine has been voted Best British No.1 of all time.
Cant believe he beat Queen, they were 2nd

MadMonkey: I can believe it. Imagine is a song that will be remembered for centuries.

Odetta is 76 years old today.  She performed Midnight Special in just about every performance I saw.  

TexasToest: Happy B-day Odetta.......Going with the theme,I just invested a tidy sum in purchasing the complete Midnight Special DVD collection.I watched that show every friday night,it's about time it was released.

Some of you may want to investigate this dvd

Jim Dandy: Wow! And, the price is right!!!

TexasToest: I gave it a quick once over on ebay,it's actually cheaper buying it from the source.

Jim Dandy: I'll remember that!

December 31, 2006 was the 53rd anniversary of the death of Hank Williams Sr.  I had to give that one a little extra moment.

TexasToest:

Hank Williams ~~ Cold Cold Heart

Oh yeah!  That's such a wonderful song - real tear jerker.  It reminds me of how much Hank III sounds like him.  Maybe III has worked to get that sound, but he really does sound like his grand-daddy.

Happy New Year to all the Music Lovers here.

Nirvana: Ewwwwwwww! Don't let that thing in MY house.

Iris Dement is 46 today.  It's unfortunate that the video quality on this clip is flakey, but the last half is pretty good.  It's one of my favorite songs she does, and MAN, would I have loved to have been at that jam!!!!

T-Bone Burnett is 59 today.  Don't miss him!! 

Today in 1969:  The Beatles performed as a group for the last time in public in a 45-minute gig on the roof of their Apple Records headquarters in London during the filming of ''Let it Be"
.

Tuesday:  You can find out all you ever wanted to know here.  You can do it yourself, or you can hire an attorney to do it for you.  

Found this "by accident"...its darn good!!!

Andersp: That's pretty amazing! Did you know that corps existed?

nivabef: That was cute. It reminded me of Ellen DeGeneris - she wanted to work with animals.

Tuesday: You're welcome. Anytime.

TexasToest: I knew about the Swiss Army but i didnt know about their drum squad. I found this video when i checked the profile of a guy who had made a comment on one of my videos :)

Andersp:  Well, that was totally cool!  Thanks for sharing it.

...without getting up to dance!!!!!

nivabef: oh awesome! Thanks so much! I love her and that's one of my all time favorite songs

Of course, Carlos Santana is one of my all-time favorites.  And, BOY, have I ever loved Alex Ligertwood forever!  "...musta been lust."   Fiona Apple I've just come around to.  Maybe I settled down a little, but I really enjoy her too. 

TexasToest: my pleasure..I was santana-ing out and felt the need to share
I think fiona is lovely...really like her style!

I do like her.  I have other female artists I like better, but some of the stuff she does approaches jazz - I like those.

TexasToest: doncha love it when ladies venture into jazz? I loved when Joni Mitchell did her jazzy albums Heirja? and another one, escapes me now...but quite a departure from her other folksy stuff or so I thought

Mingus..that's the one I was thinking of

Joni Mitchell, even on her folk albums, was always a cut above.  The way she put words and notes together was astounding.  I truly, truly still love her.

TexasToest: oh me too..and by no means did I mean to imply that her folk albums weren't as good..they are among my most treasured : )
