Friday Music Video – Rush
I don’t know how I missed these guys so far, but here you go, Spirit of Radio live – date and location unknown.
Friday Music Video – The Bridge – Brother Don’t
These guys are tops on my list today. Horns, a funky beat and hint of bluegrass around the edges; then you throw in a bit of Hammond B3 and I’m hooked. They’ve got a free gig in Harrisburg, PA today.

Friday Music Video – Lynyrd Skynyrd – Workin’ for MCA
This one’s for Mark…enjoy… Okay, replace the words “MCA” with the words “Geffen” and it’s still pretty much appropriate, even though the record companies have come down more than a couple notches. Listening and watching, I’m reminded how tight they were. These guys obviously loved to play… The bonus track at the end is “I Ain’t the One” Dig Deeper: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynyrd_skynyrd
Friday Music Video – Jonathan Coulton
Who says you need a record company? Jonathan Coulton is living proof. Wikipedia http://www.jonathancoulton.com/
Friday Music Video: Nils Lofgren – Moontears
Not the best recording, but you get a real feel for the raw edge and energy he brings to his music. I absolutely love it… Dig Deeper: Wikipedia Nilslofgren.com (for budding stringpluckers, he’s got online guitar classes, starting with beginners)
Friday Music Video: Dave Brubeck
My parents first date was a Dave Brubeck Concert at my dad’s frat at UPenn – they sat under his piano. I got to tell the story to Dave many years later when I met him in Burlington, VT.
