It takes a lot of water to wash away New Orleans

From who’s treated me really well over the years, Mr. Levon Helm. This song is great and fits the moment right now, so hit play… As we speak they are opening up a spillway to fill the land of 25,000 people in Morganza, LA, instead of Baton Rouge and The Big Easy. Here is a [...]

Better Off Dead, and a little more Blues

Hit Play to get started… I thought I’d first with a little “Better Off Dead” by Bill Withers. I have a feeling this song was pretty popular back when it came out but today it’s one of of Bill Wither’s more obscure songs. I have some alcoholism in my family and this song hit me [...]

The Hazard Assembly is up…

Look for more updates about this as I get some time. My hobby, ‘dirtbag adventuring’ www.hazardassembly.com. Also RIP Michael Jackson, devastating because I liked his music so much. It did shape my life and the music here, sort of as the ‘first taste.’ I played that album from when I could work the record player [...]

Herbie Hancock Live with Jaco – 1977

I thought I would start playing from some of the archive of live Herbie Hancock recordings I’ve been acquiring and saving for some time…. “Peace and Love” as my friend Ara says… (hit play) This is a pretty killer recording of Jaco Pastorious sitting in with Herbie Hancock quintet in 1977 at the Ivanhoe Theatre [...]
