Tom Petty - I’m Crying’

Speaking of keeping it REAL! Tom always did and TBF kept his illness and physical condition a biot to secret in the name of continuing to play but heck we miss the AUTHENTIC voice don’t we? 

Tom Petty - I’m Crying’ 

SO BACK TO SOME REAL MUSIC?! Playing For Change with John Paul Jones and others : WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS [Memphis Minnie & Kansas Joe]

Oh you want it darker . . . and more REAL?! 


Led Zeppelin made this song famous… but they didn’t write it. 🎶 Do you know who originally wrote it? 👀👇

 They asked who wrote it! Memphis Minnie and her husband Kansas Joe [both McCoys)

“When The Levee Breaks” is a powerful, thought-provoking and emotionally-charged classic by Led Zeppelin, from their Led Zeppelin IV album. The song is a rework of the 1929 original release by Kansas Joe Mccoy and Memphis Minnie about the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927; the most destructive river flooding in U.S. history. “It seems that little has changed since 1927, or even 2005 with Katrina. It’s still a really powerful track, both musically and lyrically.”- John Paul Jones

THIS IS ALL A.I.!!!? Clint Lewis - Guitar Don’t Leave Me Now!

 


If you don't like blues music then you may not like this one :)
I wanted to write this one for my late uncle Will. He always wanted us to play some "Old Blues" as he called it.
I wrote 100% of the lyrics but the music and lyrics are A.I.
"Guitar Don't You Leave Me" Written by: Clint Lewis

So ‘Clint' it is ALL AI!

CASSANDRA WILSON - DEATH LETTER - 2011


Cassandra Wilson

Death Letter


«Cassandra Wilson is one of my favourite singers today. 

I heard her version of Death Letter Blues by Son House– gave me the chills. 

I love everything she does. 

I would love to see her tackle an album of some of my own catalog» 

– Bob Dylan, 2001

Whales napping . . . Ars Technica

 

Might sign off for the day now with a nap     (you’re going to sleep now aren’t you? - ED)

Sperm whales like to nap under the water and away from the waves. They seem to do this in a vertical, head-up orientation. That makes sense, given that their enormous heads, which take up a third of their bodies, are full of oil, wax, and air–all buoyant materials. What’s less obvious is how the whales maintain their depth while sleeping. (Image credit: S. Granzotto; research credit: N. Freymond et al.; via Ars Technica)
