A wonderful show fell out of the cosmos for our 420 celebration. Nothing overt but a somewhat surreal journey with Patti Smith, one of the greatest poets of my generation.
My tribute to perhaps the most touching and inspiring singer songwriter in my life. We listen to a few artists version of John Prine's songs and then a nice live set by John. He sings that he'll be putting a band together in heaven.
WOW!!! Ths is a rich one tonight. The Youngbloods open and close with some real treasures in between, by the likes of The Holy Modal Rounders and Richard Thompson. We're gonna love each other right now.
I wanted to do a show that is a little more mellow than I have been. We'll still rock but to the tune of the yakety axes of Chet Atkins & Mark Knopfler along with others. We end with a brand new cut from Dave Alvin's new band Third Mind.
Let's celebrate another weekend with a rockin' ripple featuring Little Feat and Bob Seger with a shot of Chubby Checker and a dash of The Kinks and New Barbarians. Dancing with Long Tall Sally under the Spanish Moon.
