I first heard Jerry Douglas playing on a Maura O’Connell album in the late 80s and instantly fell in love (with both of them). Since then, I’ve heard him playing his dobro with other instrumentalists, primarily folk and country music, and backing exceptional vocalists. I don’t know if he’s getting all the professional work for dobro players, but he is not only a brilliant musician, but instantly recognizable in a recording. I can always pick up his crystalline sound and it invariably gives me a chill. I was tickled to find a video of one of my favorite cuts of his, with Russ Barenberg and Edgar Meyer, from the Skip, Hop & Wobble album. More music after the jump, including Allison Krauss. Don’t miss it.

I liked Pushed Too Far, but Alison Krause sang Carolina too slow for me. JT sings it too slow and he doesn’t do it that slow. Pretty, but slow.
That was one written by James Taylor and JD Souther. This one was written by Carole King.
Ok, a James Taylor duet.
and another. Not bad for a junkie.
and finally, my favorite JT song
And another James
Another World
Original words and music “Another Girl” by John Lennon and Paul McCartney,
Additional lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider
For we have not another world, another world…
You’re making me say that I trust nobody but you
But as from today well I just can’t say that it’s true
I ain’t no fool and I still say it’s all we got
For we have not another world, another world
It’s deeper than all the spills (more)
Hey Wayne. Always good to see one of your twists.
And that was also written by Carole King!
So was this.
The Right Ignores
Original words and music “The Night Before” by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Additional lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider
We hear all these guys (ah the Right ignores)
Proof was in our eyes (ah the Right ignores)
But to facts they’re blind
You can’t change their mind
Seems we like the things the Right ignores
Were we hearing lies (ah the Right ignores)(more)
Have you guys heard the Zac Brown Band? His voice reminds me of James Taylor.
Thanks, hoodathunk. I put up the other new one, too. I hope people enjoy them. And while folks are there, I hope they’ll also enjoy “The John McCain Collection”.
Shayne, you have to put the url on its own line at the bottom for it to display.
I fixed it. (Or someone did. 🙂 )
Wayne, you really like the Beatle tunes. I’d never heard Another Girl before your parody.
I see Shayne got her video fixed.
Carolina. Its sort of sad that some of the folks down south can’t appreciate the beauty of their lands.
Thanks, House. I tried editing Shayne’s comment, thanks to what Zooey taught me. (Which is what you said to her.) And what can I say? The Beatles provide such great material to work with. Half the trick to writing a good parody is starting with a good song.
Half the trick to writing a good parody is starting with a good song.
And the other half is having the gift of a twisted intellect. Rock on, Wayne.
House of the Rising Sun – The Animals.
Netherlands – Dan Fogelberg. I was lucky to see him in concert in the 80’s. It was a fantastic show.
My one claim to parody fame.
“Momma, just killed a man
Put my butt against his head
Pulled my finger now he’s dead.”
I never want to play the part, of a statistic, on a government chart… There has to be an invisible sun…
I fixed it right away. Sorry.
Sting is HOT!
My 15 year old daughter just discovered Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody. She was ready to buy tickets.
Found another song with a clavioline in it. It’s in the background at the beginning and solo at 1:33. Sorry if there are any anti-Vallis out there.
Ok, Franki had a disco hit in the late 70’s and I am damned but I can’t remember the title or find it.
That would have to be Swearin’ To God?
Thanks, house. No wonder I had a mental block on it.
Here’s one for Shayne.
“I don’t drink coffee, I take tea, my dear…”
My wife and I have a theory about Sting. We believe him to be a very old soul, having lived many spendid lives, which results in talent, creativity and wisdom.
While I sort of quit paying attention to music in the early 80’s, there is more to my life than disco.
What happened in the early 80s?
As Don McLean said, the music died.
that and I got married.
There is something otherworldly about him house. And he’s HOT!
I was drunk in the 80s, I don’t remember much of it.
Shayne, I was married. Sort of had the same effect. Except for my wonderful girls, I’d rather have been drinking
If this song doesn’t make you want to dance, just lay down. The body cart will be along soon.
I didn’t get married until ’87, and all that stopped was the car club events. Never had money for tires anymore.
and after you dance, you snuggle.
House, marriage always means different things. Sadly it usually means guys give things up. Not a bad thing since guys tend to want things that are fun and don’t raise kids.
Cool. BP is now claiming that this incident is unprecedented. I think they are being shy. To have one company manage to kill off one of the seven seas is quite an accomplishment.
I’m feeling 70’s jangle again :
lass did ABBA, not me!
Just a couple tonight…
One for me..
Back to rock and roll roots.
I like that muse. I hadn’t heard it before but I think Pink is very talented.
I watched it when she performed it at the Grammys last year. I was just so totally blown away.. I had never seen anything like that choreographed so beautifully and perfectly executed. The control.. Her singing was amazing on that song. The audience of her peers were totally blown away. Nice song.
Off to make dinner for the fam..
Ok, ok . . . no more “70’s” jangle . Of course, after seeing the first “lightning bugs” of the season tonight, I feel compelled to share this light little tune:
I really like Nelly Furtado, her song and video . . .
Actually, I like Music Night altogether 🙂
Crazy canucks
“Don’t do something you might regret later . . .”
Just in case somebody flies over…
Thanks hoodathunk. Burton Cummings was pretty cute. I was just thinking too bad we couldn’t see him in lass’s video.
I had a lot of Burton Cummings on 8 track. Oy.
Shayne, you are dating yourself. (So did I)
I dare not play anything I nor my family had on 8 trx in this forum. Thank you for your understanding in this regard. 8)
Jerry Douglas, anyone? Oy.
Grassroots? They played at a high school dance my senior year. My friends and I were convinced (with good reason) that the drummer was more stoned than we were.
Temptation Eyes, These Eyes, and…
Gummitch,
I said that I liked that song Pushed Too Far, in the first comment.
House, it isn’t my fault she went off and married my evil twin.
Bill Maher says they didn’t make that fake video of Sadam Hussein with young boys because they didn’t want to crash the Vaticans server. Ouch.
totally unfair, lass.
sorry, hoodathunk 😦
I think we will both survive.lass 😉
🙂
It was in my cue . . . and goes with the survival theme:
queue 🙂
Let’s lighten things up a bit . . .
I’ll go my way of light.
Has anyone seen this twitter? –
It is a statement onto itself!
Beautiful . . .
My last comment was about Misty . . .
Hello, Walt 🙂
That Dennis is a rascal!
Wishing you all a safe, memorable and peaceful weekend . . .
Silly lass . . . this is the one:
I am off to bed. Old farts like me need lots of rest!
Well if we’re going to have a Julie London post, we must also include her Cry Me A River. With the Bobby Troup Quintet.
Speaking of Bobby Troup – here he is doing his song, Route 66.
and lets go next
Something to smooth out Big Mama.
I’m going to have to say good night, before I doze off here. I don’t get much warning when I get sleepy.
Goodnight house.
G’night! House…sleep well and good dreams!
