A drummer that doesn't over play

My brother e-mailed me this clip. I thought about doing this myself years ago when I drove a tractor in a filbert orchard. These guys did it better than I would. It is actually listenable.

As promised. . . I saw the Police!

I thought that ticket prices would be prohibitive but I bought a ticket of Craig's list for $30. Elvis Costello opened. It was a good time and I am glad that I got to go. Here is a cell phone video from the show. There is a little bit of the new percussion intro to "wrapped around my finger". It was pretty cool.

A blast from the past

I remember seeing this and thinking "this is all that is right with Rock and Roll." I felt like Conan at the end.

The Pre-War Marine Band

Some harmonica folks wanted to see the other side of this so I am posting it.

This is obsession

The Star of the County Down

I really like this song. There is nothing special about this arrangement but I really like the singers voice. It is also a little bizarre that it is from Serbia.

They seem to be serious folks.

Interesting

Pre-War Marine Band Harmonica

I have wanted Pre-War Marine Band for some time. I recently obtained one that is basically the same construction as the current model. It does have the back edges bent in and it sounds great. Thin I stumbled on this one on E-bay. It is from at least the 20's. Note the "mouse ears" where the nails are found. The harp is in pretty decent shape and is quite playable. It sounds really good. I don't know if it is the tuning, construction or just nostalgia but I like these much better than the current models.

I've never heard of this guy

They don't do it like they used to.

Great Site for Decent MP3s

I was poking about on the Gibson Guitar web site. I found this link.
There is quite a variety and they are free. The "Gibson Recomends" tab also has some reviews that have some good free MP3s as well. Wilco, Neko Case, Otis Taylor, Mavis Staples and some other cool folks.
