Outstanding, bumper. You did Garcia proud. Such smooth and graceful picking and noodling. I was expecting some Pat Metheny or Wes Montgomery, but this does the trick. Thanks for posting. thanks. yeah one of these days will have to get around to putting some jazz up. do some wes and metheny tunes. interestingly a bass player sat in one nite and we did tunes like "footprints" and "cantelope island" and the audience didn't know we were really playing just thought we were tuning up. people don't wanna hear jazz  . |

That's funny. Yep, it's a minority taste sadly enough. But it's a fun minority to belong to. Jazz musicians in general seem to be very accessible and appreciate their fans. There are of course a-holes like Stan Getz (love his music though) and some others, but I can recall being in small clubs and talking between sets to giants like McCoy Tyner and Ahmad Jamal and they were as approachable as could be. Les Paul used to do a weekly gig at Fat Tuesday and later at Iridium and he would chat with people all the time. Amazing. |

Very cool bump, but personally I would much rather hear the Wes Montgomery and Pat Metheny stuff!! Bomber anxiously waiting ....  |

On this day in 1954, Philadelphia-based guitarist Danny Cedrone died at the age of 33 when he fell down the stairs in his house and suffered a broken neck. That name is not familiar to most rock aficionados, but he was the lead guitarist on Bill Haley and the Comets' "Rock Around The Clock," which was recorded in April 1954 but didn't become a hit until the next year, after he had died, when it was used in the movie "Blackboard Jungle." That blazingly fast riff was well ahead of most anything that was being performed during that gradual transition to rock and roll and is at least arguably the first real rock and roll guitar lead. One oddity about it was that Cedrone had used an identical lead two years earlier, in 1952, with Haley's first band, a Western Swing outfit called Bill Haley and The Saddlemen. The song was "Rock The Joint." Cedrone reprised it because during the recording session for RATC the band had only a half hour left on it's studio time and because he had been called in at the last minute for the session (he was not a regular band member) either Haley or someone else in the group told him to just go with that because it would fit well. So after two takes, "Rock Around The Clock" was ready for prime time. Cedrone did one more recording session with the band about a week before he died. That produced one more hit, a cover of Big Joe Turner's "Shake, Rattle and Roll," but it did not feature a prominent guitar role. While he isn't that well-known to the general public, he has been cited as an influence by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend and Brian Setzer. He was basically a jazz guitarist -- his style was much like the first great electric guitar jazzman Charlie Christian -- and he was probably only vaguely familiar (if at all) with the term rock and roll as a music genre. He did get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of The Comets. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWejpLRsgRM |

BTW, if you are familiar with Hank Williams' first big hit, 1947's "Move It On Over" (later covered by George Thoroughgood) you can hear that "Rock Around The Clock" is essentially the same song with a faster cadence. Everything is derivative.

I got email regarding this from Live Nation yesterday since they'll be issuing refunds for the canceled shows, the show in Chicago was the first one to bite the dust. These guys are getting up there in age, so I hope the illnesses aren't too serious. |

COVID is starting to rear its ugly head again...thought that was done. |

I got COVID last year and it knocked me for a loop, destroyed my marathon training and bothered my asthma for a long time. For some, it's no joke. |

Don't want to start anything that might be considered remotely "political" but... My mother-in-law died from it in '20. I also have respiratory "issues" so my wife and I are fully vaxxed, to the max. However we both got it Christmas '22, but I wouldn't have even known I had it if I hadn't gotten tested after my wife got sick. We both got Paxlovid and her symptoms were very mild and I had no symptoms at all, which is the purpose of the vaccinations. We have plans to hit the road next week so we got our "booster" a few days ago. Apparently its gonna be an annual thing, like the flu shot. I'm good with that. |

My step-father died from COVID in 2020 too, not long after vaccines become available in Pennsylvania for most vulnerable. It's sickening how political this whole thing became, it's a virus for crying out loud. We are you & wife going on your road trip? |

I'm dealing with COVID right now. Been really sick since the Yosemite trip. Finally tested myself yesterday and both my test and wife's test were positive. Have a vidio Drs appt. today but suspect I'm past the point where antibiotics will help. I read they have to be taken within 3 days on getting sick. It's been closer to 10 days. Persistent cough and fatigue but feeling a little better.
