Friday Music Video: Ric Porter and the Sons of the Soil

They’re playing a rare happy hour gig at Ralph’s Chadwick Square Grill in Worcester today from 5-8.  Be there, and mention this blog post and your first beer is on me.  Limited to the first 5 takers.

Friday Music Video: Summertime

For me, the definitive version of a song covered more times than a Senator’s gluteous maximus.  Janis at her best…evoking at once both hope and a unique sense of loss that the other artists fail to catch.

Friday Music Video – Bow Thayer

Bow Thayer and Perfect Trainwreck performing ” RU Willin”.  Bow is simply one of the best musicians I’ve ever heard, and a great guy.  Check out his site at http://bowthayer.com/

You just have to love anyone that describes their musical style as “greasy” or “modern mountain”, right?

Friday Music Video: John Coltrane – Greensleeves

Not really a video…but certainly one of my favorite songs of all time.  Note how it combines an optimistic theme with a strong blues undertone.  In 35 years, I still hear something new every time.

Another great video of Derek Trucks

It’s Truck Day!

In honor of the Red Sox Truck Day, here is Truckin’, performed by the Grateful Dead, April 17, 1972 Koncertsal – Copenhagen, Denmark.

Truck Day, for you non-baseball fans, is the day when they send the truck off to Florida from Fenway Park in Boston, loaded with all their gear, in preparation for the start of Spring Training.  It started out as an unofficial start to the baseball pre-season for fans, and has blossomed to the point that this year, the truck is emblazoned with an ad for Jet Blue.  I guess we ought to have expected it.
