Kelly Boesch two new ones
We haven’t had any Kelly Boesch for a while and I confess I still don’t know about this AI malarkey (after recent comments its gonna kill us all in decade!) and this is what it clearly;y should be used for music and art . . . . but still. This caught my eye and made me smile
"Some strange surrealism today. I loved the style of these images. Especially the ones with the pop of red. They have a cool look. This is an old song from last year that I reworked a little and wanted to use for this. I really have so much fun with these little vignettes. Trying to get them to animate oddly. I like the video to have a feeling that is a little off but still not scary. Just odd, if that makes sense. And of course, just a little dancing added in for good measureLyrics written by me, Kelly Boesch"

Green Onions - Booker T and The MGs (how it came about - Gary Lucas)

Booker T. & the MG’s performing “Green Onions” Live in ’67
“Green Onions” was born out of dead time at Stax Records.
In 1962, Booker T. Jones, Steve Cropper, Lewie Steinberg and Al Jackson Jr. found themselves with time to fill during a recording session for singer Bill Lee Riley. They recorded an instrumental called “Behave Yourself” with Jones on Hammond M3 organ. Stax co-founder Jim Stewart liked it enough to consider releasing it, but they needed another song for the other side of the single. Booker T. remembered a riff he had been playing on piano and moved it onto the Hammond. The band worked around it, keeping the arrangement spare and letting the groove carry almost everything. Jones holds the centre with the organ riff, Cropper answers with clipped guitar phrases, while Steinberg and Jackson keep the rhythm section locked underneath them. That second recording became “Green Onions.”
The musicians behind it were also becoming the core house band at Stax, playing on records by many of the singers who would define the label’s sound. “Green Onions” gave them a record of their own, built from the same economy and rhythmic discipline they brought to those sessions.

“He drew in the air with a burnt stick “ Tom Waits, one of the best description of Don’s work both audio and painterly perhaps!?
![May be an image of text that says "FAROUT OUT "He was like the scout on a wagon train. He was the one who goes ahead and shows the way. He was a demanding bandleader, α transcendental composer, up there with Ornette [Coleman], Sun Ra and Miles [Davis]. He drew in the air with α burnt stick. He described the indescribable."
