Love, Peace and Happiness was my theme.

I never even heard of this Genius until, during drivetime home from work tonight, I accidentally pushed the button on the radio that took me to "Backstage Jazz." In addition to the performance of several tunes by him and his friends, there was also an interview segment. The artist is from New Jersey, via New York City and Italy. The guitar is a custom instrument with two lower strings that enable it to sound like a bass. The harmonica is a custom-engineered instrument designed to enable the player to work the slide on a chromatic harmonica without having to use one's hands. When combined with his talent as a musician, the results are Amazing. I'm seriously thinking about buying his most recent CD.

This album turned 20. Hands down one of the best videos ever.

Another 20 anniversary album. Always preferred this song over Loser

[Dennis Heaton]

With Summer just a few short weeks away, this has got to be "Feel Good Music" (at least to some of us)...

[Klop]

One of my favorites of all time.

[RadicalModerate]

Thanks, Klop. Diversity in Truth via Music.
I was unaware that Chuck Berry played "the blues" . . .
I love Merle's version of The Bakersfield Blues . . .
And whatever Chet does is OK in my book . . . =)
And that makes me feel good. Thanks, again.

Again, this may not be exactly feel good, but it is very moving.

My stepsister had an infant son who was very sick and died in the month of September. She had that song played at his funeral. That was years ago and to this day I can't hear it without being reminded of that horrible time.

One of my favorites:

I hope nobody else thinks this is morbid but I have recently been giving thought to end of life planning because of my age. Part of that is music for a funeral. I have always been an huge John Denver fan and this makes me feel good and hope it does the same for my family and gives them comfort after I'm gone.

[ljbab728]

Along with this.

[ljbab728]

And this.

If one of my favorite musical artists (John Denver) hadn't decided to become a pilot and "show off" in an experimental airplane (without a complete understanding of the fuel control valves on said aircraft) he'd probably still be with us today.

Perhaps Karma actually IS a bitch. =)

A friend of mine played on the original Herbie Hancock recording in
the 70's.

[RadicalModerate]

Although I think that Andrea Bocelli may be the best all-around singer ever, I think THIS guy was an excellent vocalist. I read that he returned to the stage (as a walk-on), just the other night, for the first time in about 20 years.



I was more into country-western music when that tune was new, but it always made me feel good.

(sorry about the "Cloverfield"/"Blair Witch Project" quality of the . . .)

[RadicalModerate]

Melancholy? Maybe. Yet that isn't always a "bad" thing.
Here's a cut from one of my favorite albums. Good for a rainy day. =)

[RadicalModerate]

The Chambers Brothers. Time. I can't tell you how many tours I
took with this band. Dig it.

Excellent. (plus a reminder to use the link rather than the vid =)
(one of my favorite albums, back in the day . . . and right now, too.)
(in fact, the "time has come today" to finish the dinner prep and pick up my SweetHeart.)

Simply another reminder of the misuse of the throw-away term "Racist" . . .
Here in "The New Millennium" there really is no room for such an antique term as that. Is there?
And anyone who uses it as a weapon is a moron. Aren't anyone? =)
thanks, again, amigo. de veras.

[BlackmoreRulz]

I dunno why but it works with the thread title for me



And an ear worm just because....

[RadicalModerate]

Blackmore does, indeed, Rule.
Right after The Statler Brothers.
(think of it as a complimentary arhvorm)

[BlackmoreRulz]

And at the end of that...the guy can still play

[Achilleslastand]

And at the end of that...the guy can still play

Agreed....
He is one of a kind although I will say I prefer his stuff with Rainbow.
