Old School Musicianship… Rock and Roll.. Jazz… Blues… Big Band even…

Me and Bobby McGee
Song by Janis Joplin

Oh, Janis.

A few dozen pages back I posted a video of Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughn recorded in the late 80s / as early 90s. In the nearly 90 minute video, Albert talks about watching Jimi Hendrix play at a club. After he was done, Jimi said to him "Let's play some Blues.". Amazing already, right? Albert said "Not without Miss Janis, the Queen." I hope somewhere out there is a cassette that likely says "Blues" or "Night at the Club" with Albert, Jimi and Janis just jamming. Imagine...

Oh, Janis.

My favourite Janis song...a song of great social and political import...Mercedes-Benz

I'm pretty sure that is the last song she ever sang, too. Certainly, the last song she recorded. And it was just one take.

I think the album was released after her death, so that makes sense.

Birthday wishes to Tommy Shaw, born this day, September 11, 1953, 71 years young. Of course, best known for his work in Styx, along with a short stint as part of the Damn Yankees. Got a lot of choices for songs he's written and sang on but I really like this one!

Ever get an earworm?

The other day I was passed by one of these:

...a big old landbarge late 60s Lincoln Continental with suicide doors. It was flying.

Immediately, this song appeared out of the depths of my memories. Hot Rod Lincoln by Commander Cody and The Lost Planet Airmen

Birthday wishes to the late Neil Peart, born this day, September 12, 1952. Of course, he was both the drummer and lyricist extraordinaire for Rush. Lots of great music to choose from, but I really like this early song of theirs. Plus, it shows off Peart's drumming skills.

Rush - Anthem
