The longtime host of the game show, who retired some years ago, has passed away at age 99. The show, The Price Is Right, for those who don't know of it, is still on hosted by Drew Carey. I used to watch it for an hour of amusement. Barker was also big on animal care and well being mentioning pets in almost every show. RIP, Mister Barker.

Came across this. No idea if this has ever been posted. I've always been a Russell fan and am now reading " Leon Russell: The Master of Space and Time's Journey Through Rock & Roll History" by musician and author Bill Janovitz which got me into getting back into Leon's music. The book is, so far, a great history of the LA music scene in the 1960s and the people who pl

Came across another commentary regarding the SF music scene show. I think back on the various documentaries done about SF in the 1960s that are out there (PBS even broadcast one on the hippies) and how they made me think that SF in the early/mid 1960s - prior to the Summer Of Love - was a place I really would have loved to have been. If you were there you may tell me it wasn't that great. Th

On a different tack - would like someone to do the Stones entire catalogue in mono using today's tech if need be. I still dig the sound of everything coming at me in one fell swoop.

Came across this. It looks like it will be a good watch. It will probably bring back memories for some of us. There's also a great collection of SF music from back in the day called "Love Is the Song We Sing: San Francisco Nuggets 1965-1970." The photo book that accompanies the collection is a great read and look at the people from then. I discovered a link to a story about the per

Funny. Just the other day was having a discussion with some folks regarding Plant and Allison Krauss. What a great duo. Noted how Plant is a fellow traveler in terms of looking at new sounds, stuff removed for the most part from the LZ catalogue, though he does do LZ stuff in shows. Got us all wondering what Jimmy Page is up to these days since you never hear of any new sounds from him. It made m

Nice read, VoodooLounge13, about you and Swift in your life. I never listened to her but her folkie albums and reviews for them, if we wanna use that term, brought her to my ears. Must admit, she's done some really great stuff. Anti-Hero is cool. It made me think of the New Wave sounds of the late 1970s/early 1980s, Kate Bush, ALison Moyet and others. I recommend giving a listen to her NPR T

John Oates, of Hall and Oates fame, with his band, at the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) in Phoenix, this November. The MIM is a 300 seat venue with excellent acoustics. My kind of concert hall these days. Imagine the Stones there. Check out the website - MIM.org Y'all might wanna visit.

No idea if this has been posted here before by me or anyone else. I don't remember. Hoffs was the lead singer in The Bangles and has done some cool stuff with Matthew Sweet which is worth checking out. I came across the acoustic version of UMT first and thought, oh has she done it elsewhere? My preference is the solo cut which I wish was longer. Solo acoustic

Loved The Band and their early albums. Love Robertson's solo stuff. His first solo album still sounds so right. It was the second CD I bought back when CD's were the thing. RIP.

Joni Mitchell Live (2022) At Newport. What a great album. They left off a song (or two) per the version posted on the Great Information Highway before the official release, but dang, this official thing is such a great and well recorded album. There's also a boot of her show at the Gorge, Washington State, which I think is still on Dime and elsewhere. If y'all dig Joni, check all this o

Bloomfield was a guitar wizard. I put him up there with Jimi. There are a number of his live recordings and other to be found out there. East West by the Paul Butterfield band is a superb album. Won't say all Bloomfield's stuff is all gems but, man, could he play, especially blues. Check out this cut.

Hey, folks, I ain't ridiculing the man. Just posting something someone wrote about him. I simply found him back then and now an exemplar of bland 60s era pop. This isn't ridicule, just a matter of individual taste. There were many pretty bland bands/performers/songs during that time and after. For examples, the "Worst That Could Happen" by the Brooklyn Bridge, which many peopl

Oh my. IMHO, so many lame/bad/banal tunes of his to recall from the 1960s until...and they were popular. Didn't dig him then, turned off if he pops up on the radio or stream, I'm sure a number of folks out there in music land dug and still dig him.

Thank you PaleRider for Kesha and Friends. Wonderfully ragged and righteous. Gives me hope for the youngin's regarding Stones music. Makes me wish the Stones did ragged but righteous for some of their country oriented stuff at this point in time.

“We’re in our seventies, and we recognize that we can’t do this forever,” Walsh said. But, apart from that admission, the singer-guitarist was not sounding like the retiring type at all… and indeed, the Eagles’ own group statement indicated that the band would keep going until all the markets that wanted to see them were sated. “I think people like BB King set an example, which is, there’s no
