Larkin Poe - Saturday Night Fever ( Bee Gees cover)
We love the Larkin Poe gals but aren’t they so clever at choosing what numbers to cover . . . not always what I (for one) might expect
This is priceless

Saturday Night Fever ⚡️⚡️ Y’all buckle up for a blast from 1977! May this Bee Gees disco moment elevate your mood — sending eternal love out to the Gibb brothers ❤️
Jamie Dupuis Music - playing a ‘guitar’ triple necked at that!
Interestingly to the guitar boffins and aficionados out there this instrument is very much how Gibson started out after the really started with mandolins! Double even triple necks as in here . . . . and my guess would be this is how they would have sounded.
Wonderful!
As James here says: one of the most beautiful guitar songs EVER!

Wisdom comes in many forms but you KNEW you would find it here . . . . .
TAJ MAHAL
“It’s never been about ‘Watch me,’ said Taj Mahal during an interview from his home in Berkeley. “The audience is part of the performance. It’s not like I’m up here on stage and they’re all down there. I’m just one man trying to make a global connection that anyone can plug in to.”“I’ve always seen the bigger picture, that a majority of people in this world don’t know that the Top 10, Top 20, or Top 100 even exist,” said Mahal, who cites Freddie King, T-Bone Walker, Sleepy John Estes, Jesse Ed Davis, Mississippi John Hurt and Blind Willie McTell as his biggest musical influences. “There are 7 billion people on this planet and what’s considered commercially viable doesn’t interest the majority of them. So why would I limit myself to what record executives think will sell?”“I’m in this thing for the long haul,” Mahal declared, “and for me, that means ignoring conventional wisdom and just playing music for the love of it. I’m hard-headed and will continue doing this for as long as I’m breathing. Just like Lightnin’ Hopkins, I learned early on (that) playing music is what I do.”

Jesse Buckley - ‘Troy’ | Facebook Mark O'Brien
Much like Mark O’Brien I hadn’t see this clip either but heck RTE don’t half feature some great stuff and I had seen the wonderful actor Jesse Buckley (yes yes another favourite) sing before (check out her cover of Boulder to Birmingham ) but this is extraordinary!
Mark said:
"I hadn’t seen this before now and I am completely blown away. Jesse Buckley singing Sinead O’Connor’s 'Troy'.
Kindred spirits.
Connected to the same well, the same source. "
