Docc, that will carry me through the job I have in my kitchen tomorrow. Here is a short classic Emmylou @ around 30 years old. It's too bad more video/audio from that era didn't have Martin Scorsese recording.

Emmy Lou shared a record with Mark Knopfler.

My favorite cut from that collaboration:

Mine too.  The song was inspired by Stefan Johannsen, a former Ferrari F1 driver that raced Indycars before he retired.  Some of the sentiment was about the dangers of driving open wheel cars on oval tracks.  A riding buddy (Suzuki Bandits) and myself took my travel trailer to the Indy 500 for the race weekend.  I played the song so much, he asked me to stop.

Sorta like my experience on the board here.

Has anyone put this up yet? If not, it's about time. If they have, it's about time it came up again.

And this, of course.

Fabulous performance from Suzanne Vega in Stuttgart a couple years ago with guitarist Gerry Leonard.

For the abridged version, skip to 46:00 . . .

This song goes back to the late 60's for me. Thought about it on my way home from Sauvie Island today. It fits the season and place perfectly.

There is really something special about an old fart who has been playing his instrument for 50 years, isn't there.

[audiomick]

Speaking of old farts....

I had a job in 2004 in Bremen. I was responsible for monitors (stage sound) for the guest artist, so when the "studio band" was playing, I spent a lot of time on stage in the rehearsals facilitating the communcation for my colleague who was doing their monitor sound.

There was a bass player who appeared with the studio band, singing one of his most famous songs. A fairly unpleasant person, I found, as it happens, but that is also a fairly well known thing so I don't fell all that bad about writing that here.

Anyway....

Time came to rehearse the song. The man in question came on stage with his quirky Gibson bass, and wanted to plug in to the amp that had been provided. Problem: no cable. After a few minutes of confusion, someone produced a collection of adapters, saying "this will work, wont it?". NO, says I, and went and nicked a cable off a prepared riser that was behind the stage.

I then watched the approximately 70-year-old man fiddling with his bass amp, forgot who it was and only saw the old man, and asked "do you really want to do that?" (what he was doing on the amp didn't make sense to me...).

He nearly exloded, and explained in no uncertain terms that he was involved in the developement of those amps, and knew very well what he was doing thank you very much (and was later proved by the sound that came out absolutely in the right...). In the course of the rebuke, I rememberd who I was talking to, and was able to back down more or less elegantly.

This is the song that was played, featuring the slightly unpleasant 70-year-old man on bass, a clip from the TV show where this all happened:

 

More name-dropping on the theme of "old farts": the bloke with the acoustic guitar is Greg Lake. The bloke with the black beanie is Chris Thompson. The bloke with the long coat on keyboards is Manfred Mann. The bloke playing flute is Ian Anderson. The dark-skinned bloke in the back-ground who is also playing bass is also up there, but unfortunately I can't remember his name.

EDIT: Victor Bailey, the other bass player.

 

Needless to say, I really enjoyed that job.

That story reminds me of : one time one of Jack Bruce's former bandmates was in a pub where there were some musicians playing live music somewhere . Said stranger after a while asked if he could play his guitar . The guitarist was a good man and handed it over . After some strumming and playing around he got serious . To the owners loud objection , he announced "be careful there , those strings cost me ___ quid " ! Eric took it easy after that admonishment .

Reminds me a similar story in Tulsa OK.  This was during Leon Russell's heyday.  Many of the major musicians came to town like Geo Harrison.  Anyway, this guy is playing solo guitar in a local bar, The Colony.  He's really, really good.  He finishes his set and says "Thank you, I'm Eric Clapton".  Walks out.
