Oklahoma -  yes can be - mmm lonely - Must be why the Feds banished my grandmother there back in 1890's - after a long walk north -  - she escaped- Ha. 

Eastern OK is actually decent - perhaps because it is actually ARK. 

Kansas - well I am sure it has its redeeming features. I have great repour with its inhabitants  - but I admit - all have been brief travel stop/go employees.  The roads are really good - see - positive comments. 

music - yes

I actually prefer Kansas to Oklahoma.  Mainly because I've never found a good place to stop for the night in either OK or that top part of Texas, whatever you call that.  I've always called it West Oklahoma.  

In Kansas, you've got the COE campground at Tuttle, and you can stay there and go eat dinner at Harry's in Manhattan, which is a pretty nice place.  College town.

I have no music to add to that.  

But here's something.  Dizzy Gillespie tune, but I've been looking for the origin of this specific version for years.  The only recording I have is ripped off this video, so if anyone can figure out exactly where this recording comes from, I will make you a cocktail at the next rally.

Jazz - really nice here - making something out of nothing. Good integration of differing concepts. One pure spontaneous, the other very systematic. Cool .

According to sources - a take off of: 

or perhaps its on the album - a guess.

Overlooked and later critically-acclaimed band, for fellow grunge era peeps. If you like dogs and a twist musical ending . . . very cool, IMHO, as is this entire album.

I bet you guys really enjoyed O Brother Where art Thou.  But if you watched it and thought wow this is a great movie but perhaps better with a hallucinogen of some sort, then this is a song for you:

How about a return to a classic - at least for a certain age group.

This version from Hell Freezes Over is even better than the original in my opinion:

Agree re better than the original. I’m also a fan of Joe “How Ya Dooooin’?” Walsh’s solo stuff. “Things” “Rosewood Bitters.” Helluva guitarist, great sense of humor lyrically.

[Overland]

Don’t know, strong competition from this version -

 

[Mike and Carol]

This is worth watching!

I miss Chris Cornell so much.

Alison Krauss & Union Station:

From my early days:

Early days?

Heck!  I STILL listen to JT and Ms. Krauss and even Carol King from time to time.

Two new amazing finds of late for us are the Swede Daniel Norgren and also solo artist Buck Meek of the Indy band Big Thief. Norgren sings and plays guitar, harmonica, accordion, piano, and drums. When he's with his band their sound often reminds me of The Band. Buck Meek is a different story. A bit odd perhaps in his body movements, ala Joe Cocker kind of, but an amazing lyricist and singer, plus he plays an interesting guitar.

Not to mention Bill Callahan's latest record titled Gold Record. Great stuff.

Meaning, I first heard the  music as a younger feller. Now that  I am slightly past the middle part of the actuarial tables - The songs too often bring back memories - many that seem just like yesterday. Seems my mind continues to write checks, that the body struggles to cash..... 

Allison and Robert Plant have some compilations - that are really good - Ms. Krouse had to carry him a little...... However - I must say I saw Mr. Plant at Bonnaroo a few years back and he was darn good. I admit - I have no Carol King in my playlist - probably should.

Interesting - I will have to keep him in mind.

Can you say “contrasting style”?  Fun to watch.

[SNY SD UP]

The signature track (all are good), off of a GREAT Album.

So much Great Music... So Little Time!!!

[Moonlight Mile]

David Gilmour, "High Hopes." An incredible song, and note Michael Kamen (RIP) on piano and Caroline Dale's cello. Such an evocative, moody, then soaring piece. I watch-listen to this fairly regularly. The choral group is amazing as well.

 

 

Same with this one: "Coming Back to Life." 

There is a reason guitarists rank Gilmour way up at the top with EVH. 

At the 3:45 mark, well, speechless. He makes it look so easy. Diggin' bassist Chucho Merchán too. Whoa.
