Progressive Rock legend Greg Lake has passed after a long battle with cancer at age 69 years. With Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer, Lake was responsible for some of the most startling musical images ever Ive ever experienced.

I first heard this song when visiting a Tower Records store in London.

Passed away at 74, Leon Russell. Songwriter, session player par excellence, band leader. RIP

So, I went back to check an early post on this this thread and found that all my video links had died a horrible death! I set to editing to bring them back and made an existential discovery! I'm not nearly as witty or erudite as I think I am after having a wee dram or two. Needless to say editing took a while, finished up about 0550.

RIP, John Loudermilk.

The song has been described as a "lost" Elvis Presley song, but it is actually sung by Carroll Roberson.
Check it out. It's pretty good.


I ran across another version sung by Glen Campbell that is also very good.
I wouldn't have guessed that it was him singing it.

Very nice WildBill, thanks.

Listening to one of my oldies, "Countdown to Ecstasy", I thought to share my favorite cut, "My Old School" on the forum. Sadly the few videos available just didn't sound very good, even the Japanese lip-sync tape was plagued with poor sound and hokey performances. Becker and Fagen hated to tour due to their inability to reproduce the music created in the studio at a live venue, hence the dearth of options.
Imagine my surprise when I came across a note for note cover! Performed by the Lexington Lab Band, a group of praise and worship musicians from the Lexington KY area, I was in sonic shock.


The LLB has been together for a few years recording note perfect covers of a wide range of artists, their website http://www.lexingtonlabband.com has videos of most of their work and was, for me, a neat way to spend a little time listening to some great music.

Bluegrass music has lost a legend, Dr. Ralph Stanley passed away June 23 at age 89.

I knew I would get to brew the coffee at the office if SRV was playing on the radio during my drive in.

Feedback is a thing.

Encore!!

NANCY WILSON!!!!! Ann's pretty good too...
One of Rocks premier mating calls performed at their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Ann's voice just rings and has a depth and resonance that was absent in her youth.
Nancy missed her Ovation Adamas Slothead Acoustic Electric in this performance.
