The Smiths

The always lovely Hope Sandoval.

The beautiful vocals and guitar work of Chicago’s Terry Kath.

Dave Grohl performs at the White House for President Obama and Paul McCartney.

July 4, 1993

Jazz guitar great Lee Ritenour, with Phil Perry providing the vocals.

I try to go to a lot of live shows, and although I know it’s ignorant of me, I refuse to use ear protection. Even if I get good seats towards the front! 

Great stuff, but really sad, as Duane would be gone a couple of months later and then Berry would follow within a year or so.

A great Boz Scaggs tune that has endured the test of time!

Blackberry Smoke is a Southern band that has really been growing on me lately. I think they do a nice job with “When the Levee Breaks” at 5:05.

Ain’t good lookin’... but you know I ain’t shy

Them, featuring a twenty-year-old Van Morrison.

I’ve always thought this was such a catchy tune.

Before you do anything rash...dig this

Boston only put out two albums in their first decade, and both of them came within the first couple of years of their existence.

Good stuff, Drunko!

When I look at the older couple at :45, it reminds me of all of the joy and love that Jeff Lynne and his music has given to people for decades now.

Is that her?

I think of Mick as I do about Rory Gallagher. Two of the greatest guitarists that too many music enthusiasts don’t know enough about!
