He was one of a kind. Watch his Black and White, Roy Orbison and friends. The cast of characters is amazing. Springsteen, Costello, Tom Waits, KD Lang, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt. Think I'll watch that now! Thanks Dude.
When I feel depressed I listen to a little Santana, particularly this version:
hmmmm....that is a very nice video and version of that song Paul.
As for the Wilburys, I just listened to "End fo the Line" - which says it all for me.

Oh, yes.
We obviously have similar tastes in music.
I have the CD, and and a VHS videotape (no joke) I made of the broadcast.
A few weeks ago I spent most of the afternoon in my workroom listening to all my recordings of Tom Waits back-to-back. Long-time fan.
I appreciated Johnny Cash the most at the end of his career, as he dared to "stretch out" into other genres....

The Heart of Saturday Night brings on the melancholy every time. Genius. "Fishing for a good time starts with throwing in your line"
Cash follows "I Walk the Line", a gold record, with "Bitter Tears" Talk about stretching your neck out our for a cause.
Ya, Cash was cool.

Phoenix has a small theatre in the round with a rotating stage. It was a big deal in the 70's but has kinda fallen into disrepair lately.
Anyway I saw a LOT of acts there back then , it was a very intimate venue with no bad seats.
I saw Frank Zappa there no less than four times and one of the times Tom Waites was the opening act, I can remember being mesmerized by him singing Diamonds on my Windshield.
But alas it was a rowdy crowd the didn't give the opening act the respect he deserved.
Well Frank is gone and Tom is still going, I love his bluesy style and gravelly voice.
And as for Johnny? He has the place of honor above my work bench.

That's too funny , I also have a VHS tape I made of that Roy Orbison Black and White night ( that was such a great performance) , even though I no longer have a VHS player. Haha
Bob: your public library may be able to transfer the tape onto a DVD.

I would have given up one of my own dogs to have been there for that Zappa/Waits concert.
....tho I never did like dogs much.....

Before it was New Era Field, before it was Ralph Wilson Stadium..... Never did see the Bills at Rich Stadium but lost a couple of days there with these lads.
Happy Friday friends!
Television shows just aren't what they used to be.
There was a time when you could simply watch girls dancing to pop music.
Canned Heat, here.
The girls who could "really shake it" stood out.
