What Music Are You Listening to Now?

[Irish YJ]

Nice. The Arturo Sandoval concert in SB (I think 2007) was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. That dude is amazing. He plays around 10 instruments.

I can't say I'm a huge Blues guy, but I do like to listen to the Blues Hour, here on HPR. It comes on after 10p, on the weekends. Come to Hawaii, brother, my friends can hook you up with that weed request!

I love Latin Jazz. One of my favorite pianists is/was Ruben Gonzalez. In his later years, he played with Buena Vista Social Club and the Afro-Cuban All Stars. If you haven't seen it, watch "Buena Vista Social Club". Play it with your surround sound, or headphones. Even for an old video, the sound is amazing.

Here's Don Ruben, playing an improvised version of "Siboney" when he was almost 90:

A good friend of mine from PR is a musician and has turned me on to a lot of Latin Jazz. I really love the Cuban stuff. Jelly is more Jazz than Blues, and Bessie was a huge influence to Jazz. Both are included in the Ken Burns Jazz History. First learned of both while taking a history of rock and roll class in college. Believe it or not, one of the hardest undergrad classes I had at the time.

I'm going to be setting up a new NAS that I got for Christmas. Once I get the music on it, I'll give you access to the folder.

Will definitely take you up on the offer in Hawaii! I've been spending most of my vacation time in Belize and Naples, but we've been wanting to get out there in the next couple years. That flight time bro...

Naples, FL or Italy? I lived in Naples, FL for a little while. It really is a golfer's paradise. Big ND presence, too.

Yeah, the flights are long. You at least have the option of direct flights from Atlanta to Honolulu, though. It's probably ridiculously expensive, now, however.

Naples FL. Actually Vanderbilt Beach since you're familiar with area. Just a block or so South of La Playa. Bounce between there and Sanibel. Been going down to that area since the late 70s as tot.

10+ hours is rough lol.... compared to 3 to Belize and 1.25 to Naples. I don't want to go out until I have 10-14 days to chill and island hop. Suppose to spend a few weeks in Greece this fall, otherwise Hawaii was the plan. The direct flight actually was only 100 more than the LAX connection. At least on Delta anyway.

If you like Stapleton, you'll likely love The White Buffalo.

More Folkish, but similar vibe (at least to me). A couple of their songs were in Sons of Anarchy.

I know The White Buffalo. Great music.

Check out Kate McCannon if you haven't heard it.
He could go big time if he's handled by the right folks.

Great to see some Tyler Childers fans on here. Here’s my favorite from him. I believe Sturgill Simpson produced this album.

Just saw Whiskey Myers in Little Rock a few nights ago. This is one of my favs from them.

John Kilzer “Sleeping in the Rain”

This dude played basketball for Memphis State back in the day. Got kicked off the team for drinking which led to his true talent...music. Signed with Geffen in late 80s where he recorded two albums. Subastance abuse ended his run with them but he found out the true importance in life and got a second chance.

PS How the heck do I post the link to show the actual YouTube video? I hate that it only shows the link when I try to post.

Random songs from my life have been invading my brain pan of late. Some because I like them, some because it pissed me off that they were given any attention at all.

Here's one that swooped in "Out of the clear blue western skies":

There may be at least one of you out there that catches my reference to a late 1950's television show.

Radiolab did a cool episode on Robert Johnson called, of course "Crossroads":

Just another song that invaded my brain recently. It was the opening that was on a loop, and it took a while to remember just what song it was.
