Thanks! It is the way it seems to come up!! I need to find out to embed!!

 

Click on the icon that looks like a section of cine film and copy the YouTube link into the box.

 

Looks like prog rock is still alive on the streets of San Francisco. Someone needs to find that bass player and make him king of the world.

 

This is great little informative video about one of my favourite ever bands, the influential Buffalo Springfield...

 

I love that, one of my favourite bands too, and I can’t believe they split up 56 years ago!

Forgive the pedantry, but Neil’s hearse was a 1946 Buick Roadmaster, not a Pontiac. It was named Mortimer Hearseburg, or Mort for short.

 

From their 30th anniversary Don't Stop album which is now 27 years old here is a track I love from The Quo

 

What a rare treat this is, I had no idea that there had been a Woody Guthrie tribute concert and to find it in full brand new to Youtube is fantastic!...

 

I'll admit that although i'd heard of Henry Thomas as an early influence on blues/rock music i'd never took the time to listen to him.
These recordings are incredible considering they are coming up to a century old!
I recognised this first one from the Canned Heat version...

 

I must admit that I had never heard of Henry Thomas and was staggered to learn that he was born in 1870 which was even earlier than somelike like Frank Stokes who is usually seen as proto-blues. He was 57 when he made these recordings. It quite interesting hearing this music as the blues material was probably not somethin he had started his musical career performing. There is research that much of the blues material performed in the 1920s was actually influenced by the likes of Ma Rainy and Mamie Smith from the very early twenties as opposed to being something really archaic.

I am not so struck by the guitar playing but think his voice is incredible. Quite amused by the reeds that he plays too.

 

Just caught up with Chrissie Hynde's must see Glasto set on iPlayer with Johnny Marr and Dave Grohl guesting and Sir Macca watching from the side of the stage.
Her latest guitarist, James Walbourne, is amazing and he is also a co-writer for the latest material with a new album, Relentless, out in September.
This is the first single from it...

 

Popped up on Rick Stein's food trip through Mississippi. He's a big time blues boy.

 

Rick Stein tastes the blues

 

Good effort all round though the wisdom of choosing an eight min + song for busking is debatable. Liked the Wakemanish fills from the ? 9yr old.

 

Always thought Fable had a bit of the Winehouse about her, but this is mental!

 

This is cringetastic!...

 

Someone posted this on another website last week and I was initially fascinated as I had not realised that there was video footage of Sleepy John Estes in existance. That said, I was totally bowled over by the mandolin playing of Yank Rachel - a new name to me and something of a revelation.
