Favorite Music: take flight and wing

[David G]

No reason we should limit the sharing of some of our favorite music, or thoughts about music, to Friday nights.

So Watcha Got?? Bring it on!!


I'll start it out with a poem and a song --

Back Together

She sang my soul back together
More times than I can count

I hope somewhere somehow
She knows that

-- Cleo Wade


Rainy days like this always remind me of dear Linda --

I'm a big fan of a neo-prog band called Marillion, particularly their first incarnation with Fish (Derek William Dick) on lyrics and vocals. This is from my favourite album of theirs, Clutching At Straws, and it really showcases Fish's lyrical chops:

DANG!!! Listened to that one all the way thru (rare), and made a note do search out more. Thank you!!

Yeah, they're good. They remind me of Lau, among others, but that concertina player has it going on.

[Dave Gray]

I have always liked this one by Al Stewart. It tells a great story.

[Old Dryfoot]

Talisk is great, I discovered them a few weeks ago. I just wish they had more music on YT.

My guitar 'teacher.'

[Old Dryfoot]

Love the band name.

It's the only song of his I do.

The only gospel music group that I will drive 150 miles round trip to hear.

Billy Strings. This guy just blows me away, and he's the one to blame for me now listening to a lot more bluegrass than I ever have before.

Raise A Little Hell - Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band

[Glen Longino]

[Glen Longino]

I agree with Dryfoot, this hombre is uncanny...

[Glen Longino]

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard...

[Old Dryfoot]

One of the consequences of picking up an instrument later in life is that you're more apt to listen to everything, and not confine yourself to familiar genres. At least that's how it worked in my case.

[Old Dryfoot]

For Glen. Compare and contrast.

[David G]

Liking that BigDamnedBand.

Here's an old fave from Jimmy Buffett.

If you ever get a chance to see Sweet Honey in the Rock - do it. Don't hesitate - just go.

I wish I had seen them live when I had a chance.
