EweTube just served me a blast from the past, the Baja Marimba Band!

Botch - Couldn't let that ^^^^ go by without a comment or two. Got the album from my brother in law who among his many jobs and talents worked for the local radio station doing live community college basketball commentary home games. He also did a stint as a DJ at WEZY radio station in Cocoa, FL. Gave his sister this album. Trivia - Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss created the label that produced Baja Marimba Band. 1965 Oh My.

Found this one also from BIL -

^^^ Very cool, glad someone else has even heard of them (I do have their GH album on vinyl, learned of them via Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass, back when my classmates were all into the Beatles).  Although very kitschy, they were very good musicians and did some very ear-catching chord substitutions and key changes.  Like this:

This popped up on ewetube, haven't seen it in several years.  The late, great Roy Clark was an overlooked monster!

This may be only of interest to the musicians, but there's a few of them here so I'm posting it.

"Dead Wax" is a video podcast that I'm fascinated with, founded by Jack Conte (he is also the husband-side of Pomplamoose, and, just as a side gig, CEO of Patreon!)  Here they interview Wendy Melvoin, guitarist who joined Prince at the ripe old age of 19 (and, today, she reminds me of... my Mom!).  They start out discussing the funk of Earth Wind & Fire, talk a lot about how it was to work with Prince, and also bring up the exact same artists that I held dearest thru my own life (Vulfpeck, Miles, Joni Mitchell, The Meters, Tower of Power, Kool and the Gang).  I never got to the proficiency of any of those folks, but they were what I listened to and I guess I was raised right/lucky!  

Cool discussion about what makes funk, "funk" (dragging but not pushing around the One), Prince's grueling rehearsals, and the distinction between an Artist and an Entertainer.  

I'll be watching this a couple more times.  
 
EDIT:  Oh, and if you've never listened to classic Earth Wind & Fire thru headphones, do yourself a favor...)

When the hell did Mike Portnoy re-join Dream Theater?!?!?  Nobody tells me anything!

This is absolutely killer, and I have a new CD to buy tomorrow.  I'm not in the mood for what I call "athletic Prog" very often, but when I am, these guys scratch the itch.

A lot of my musician friends mock me for liking Duran Duran, and at first I thought they were a "pretty boy"/made-for-MTV band, but their melodies had me singing in the shower many mornings.  I eventually grew to be a huge fan.  I've performed "Rio" on stage many times (one of the few tunes I sang lead) and this tune, "Ordinary World", which is fantastic;  enjoy!

Recently been watching/listening to "Dirty Loops", a three-piece Swedish fusion band with killer chops/vox.  Here is a live spot, with them playing with Cory Wong (rhythm guitar/Vulfpeck group) and an 8-piece horn section whom I'm unfamiliar with, but are tighter than a nun's bum.  An absolutely killer Thriller!

It takes some melon-sized balls/chops to re-chord a Stevie tune, and then blow it completely out of the water like this.  Dayum!!!

For decades, I thought Rick Wakeman was a ****.  Every interview I'd read in Rolling Stone, Musician, and Keyboard magazines over the decades, he came across as an absolute ****!  I know a couple folks who have met him, and their opinion was quite different (and I've always wanted to play Roundabout in a band to try that Hammond solo; it never happened).  

Here he plays a solo piano classical interpretation of Bowie's Space Oddity, and it's captivating, wow.  Nicely filmed in a beautiful cathedral that seems to be unheated.  Enjoy.

EweTube just served up this very old Roy Clark video.  The facials, the humor, and the pickin’!!!

This popped up on my ewetube.  Unfamiliar with the harmonicist (?) but this is one of the most haunting movie themes ever written; I need to watch the movie one of these days.
