One of the most beautiful tunes I've ever heard...and timely right now.



And then I tripped over this killer version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps...

I've never been a big metal guy. But for some reason the past few weeks I've been really into Anthrax.
For the first time in my life, at age 47!  Can't explain it.

The rhythm section (Frank Bello and Charlie Benante) are really great, they have a groove I really enjoy - on some songs it has a bit of swing to it, which is not something you can say about a lot of the thrash bands.
And I like that they are just more fun than a lot of metal, a lot of which is so relentlessly and seriously grim that I get tired of it pretty easily.

I'm not much into the singer though. Oh well.

Here's a good track:


I was never a big metal head, but I definitely dabbled in the 80s. Anthrax was one of very few metal bands I followed for a while there. Definitely fun and Frank had a great tone. I believe him and Charlie are nephew/uncle. Joey's singing is over the top, but he's actually way more versatile than what he does with Anthrax.

A Firebird acoustic?!?!?!  :o Cool!

That's a Danny Ferrington acoustic made for Carlene.

I find myself going back to this album fairly often over the last couple of years...including tonight...

I play in a classic rock band, and a 70's soul band...

The "ethnic" instruments (banjo dobro steel guitars etc) are kind of a personal obsession...

MS Cashdollar plays some amazing music...and I love the Crusaders because it's jazz, but not egg-head jazz...it actually is fun and feels good to listen to.

Having stumbled upon some recordings of Christopher Hogwood playing Bach and Vivaldi on Clavichord, I delved a little deeper and found a treasure trove of clavichord music from this fellow. I could envision having a similar instrument in the new home I moved into with my fiancé. There's a baby on the way as well and I could see the clavichord providing a great musical foundation.

Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

I don't think Bach has the same appeal on a Hohner D6 clavinet. Moog keyboards aren't the best either but they sounded nice in that Kubrick movie.

As Leo Kottke said in the liner notes to the Armadillo album, Bach had 20 children because his organ didn't have any stops.
