The Maestro : Ry Cooder on Cuba and the Essence of Music (PBS) | Don’s Tunes +
Ryland P Cooder - I mean just look at that Gibson
Ry Cooder: "To me, the essence of the music is the most important thing. You can get notes on tape, you can put a microphone up and somebody plays and you can get notes on tape anywhere in the world, and you can bring musicians here or go there. But unless you get the true atmosphere... The essence is in the atmosphere, it's in the place, and the people and the place. Especially in this room [Egrem Studios, Havana.] Because this room has seen the greatest Cuban musicians, including Arsenio Rodriguez. Since 1940, they've all played in this room; they've lived in this room. The piano is the same piano Ruben Gonzalez played when he recorded "Guaguanco a Todos los Barrios" in the late 70s. And if you go down to the vault downstairs, you see the tapes in the shelves, it says "Arsenio RodrÃguez, 1950". All these guys, Beny Moré, they've all been there.
I put on Buena Vista or whichever of these records, and I feel really great. I feel buoyant and encouraged and it brightens the corner of the day. That’s what music is supposed to do. It’s not supposed to scare you or hurt you or upset you in some crazy way. It’s supposed to make you feel encouraged and connected to something. That’s what these Cubans are really good at doing with their music; they’ve done it for themselves as a country for a very long time in a very artful, highly crafted way.This is a hell of a deal here. Many people love Oriental music or Indian music because it has these components in it. In an entirely different way of course, Buena Vista is designed to do that as well -- to do something nice for you. This is a very positive thing. "PBS Interview 2000Photo by Robert Knight Archive
Ry Cooder - Everybody Ought to Treat a Stranger Right (Live in studio)
"The Prodigal Son", Ry' Cooder's first new solo release in six years, is available now! Buy or stream now here: http://found.ee/RYtpsRy Cooder’s last album, The Prodigal Son, is all America, our spiritual, hopeful voices, our raw cries and our sly provocations, voiced through the songs of the Pilgrim Travelers, The Stanley Brothers, Blind Willie Johnson, and Ry Cooder himself. This is black and white gospel church music, our own history of the spirit, sounding completely fresh and contemporary, framed by Cooder's expressive vocals and graceful, elegant guitar work. Aided by his son, drummer and chief collaborator, Joachim Cooder, The Prodigal Son is a deft commentary on our ailing moral state. This is music for these times, a fearless dive into the country’s soul and the man, Ry Cooder. For nearly 50 years, the immense scope and influence of Ry Cooder's music has perhaps been felt as much, or more than heard. As musician, producer, songwriter and sage, the Santa Monica, California native has explored music and culture from across the city, the state, the country and around the world.

Ger O Donnell - Stardust
Ger says:
"Stardust by Shay Healy (an absolute gent and an inspiration) . What an absolutely perfect song. It's hard to put into words the feelings that this song conjures. It took a long while after I lost my mother to even attempt to sing this, but it's a special one now. “
will close the day with this beautiful rendition of Stardust [Shay Healy]

Since his early albums I have been a fan of Jesse so as Paul says I agree with him! Been wanting him to make something available at his usual high standard for a while

Trouble posting this one not sure why . . . . . . it was taken down and disallowed by Tumblr (sic?) so not sure if Paul at ATSE has barred me so hopefully you will enjoy this track and can still use the link to get the concert download from ALBUMS THAT SHOULD EXIST
WILL TRY AGAIN without addressing the format . If it doesn’t work I will try and sort it soon as . . . . . . .
Paul Said: I've been wanting to post a Jesse Winchester concert for years. But I wanted it to be a really good one, and one that includes the song "Biloxi." That's my favorite song of his. I finally found a bootleg recording that checks both of those boxes, so here it is.
Winchester was born and raised in the South of the U.S., specifically Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. But in 1966, when he was 18, he received a draft notice that indicated he was likely to serve in the Vietnam War. He reacted by moving to Montreal, Canada. Shortly after moving there, he began writing songs and performing them in local clubs. In 1970, he was discovered by Robbie Robertson of the Band, who produced his debut album, the cleverly titled "Jesse Winchester." It was very well received critically, and more albums followed.
However, his success was hobbled by the fact that he couldn't perform in the U.S., since he was still avoiding the draft. But in 1976, with the Vietnam War over, U.S. President Jimmy Carter pardoned all draft resisters, including Winchester. So this concert comes from the first year he was able to perform anywhere in the U.S. since his music career began.
He died in 2014, at the age of 69. Here's his Wikipedia entry, if you want to know more:

This is an excellent sounding recording because it was broadcast live on the radio. It remains unreleased. There were problems with a couple of songs though, including my favorite, "Biloxi," as well as "Let the Rough Side Drag." There were a couple of minor skips on both. But I managed to fix them. That's why those two have "[Edit]" in their titles.
This album is an hour and 13 minutes long.

The cover image is not from this exact concert, but it's close. It's from the same venue, but seven days later, on May 7, 1977. Probably, he was playing a series of consecutive shows.
