My body is bent and broken
by long and dangerous sleep
I can work the fields of Abraham
and turn my head away
I'm not a stranger
in the hands of the Maker

September 13th


..while the lyrics to this one may serve this post better, Wes always serves it better (even if it is over the top with schmaltzy production...)


Tal Farlow's birthday...and a fine way to wrap up (even though Coryell doesn't seem to be able to do so on his solo!)

Part I:


Part II:


...Indian summer?

It all depends on how you drink the wine...

"How You Drink the Wine"
by, Mel Tillis

Well I sat down at a table next to the party
And I could see they were having of good time
So I ordered up a bottle of the same thing they were drinking
But it didn't do a thing to ease my mind

Oh it all depends on how you drink the wine
When I turn to the bottle heartaches is all I find
Some people get happy but I just keep on crying
Yes it all depends on how you drink the wine

When I look in the bottle I see your reflection
But I turn it up and drink it like a fool
This wine don't kill my feelings so I might as well be leaving
And let somebody else have my stool

Yes it all depends on how you drink the wine...
Yes it all depends on how you drink the wine

Live...

Inspired by Nashville again, here are a few more to enjoy!

High up on the ridge, and slide mandolin...

These guys are KILLER. Some very DEEP and HIGH singing.

"Why should I keep loving you..."

sing it Freddy...

"I'm on my way to New Orleans this morning
Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee
They're always having a good time down on the Bayou, Lord
Them delta women think the world of me"

Special..

This makes me proud...just that they worked together.

Train Songs Vol.1

...sometimes the heat makes you want to get out of town, while sometimes other things make you want to or need to leave town. The rhythm of the train and it's driving metaphor make for a powerful musical vehicle...

don't know why I thought of this one first...





couldn't find Dylan...so, here's Jerry!



keeping with jerry and trains, I wanted to find the version from The Grateful Dead Movie but we'll make due..



Beck...Well done.



Hank, Sr....



"He said he's going back to find a simpler place and time..."

Part II rollin' on down the line!

Trying to double talk, get myself in trouble talk...

"Trying to double talk, get myself in trouble talk, catching myself in lies
Catching myself in lies
Mama just looked at me as if I was, ah, crazy
And didn’t even bat an eye
So I began to try to explain, ah that it just wasn’t what she thought
I’d better find something to do with my time
The fact is ah just been caught, just been caught,
Sneakin, sneakin, sneakin..."

Soul on Fiyaaa (...and everyone's dream come true)

..."learning to live together" and watch AMAZING MUSICIANS together...
