Music Thursday 3-17-22

All three Tone Poems are musical classics. Thanks for the reminder!

Yesterday I listened to the new Norman Blake tribute album by Bob Minner. It features an allstar cast of pickers and singers each with their own interpretation of a Blake classic. Album is titled “From Sulphur Springs to Rising Fawn: The Songs of Norman Blake”

I know that it’s not a blast from the past, but a great new listen.

So it’s “old music Thursday”?

Then I’ll add I ahve been re-listening to Led Zep 4 for the first time in a very long time.  I’m digging side 2 way more now than I did when I was a teenager.

Led Zep flashback… I went to see them live in the early 70s at the coliseum in Macon, GA.

Macon has a significant musical history, we used to go to Central City Park on Sundays to listen to the Allman Bros play before they were discovered, Duane & Greg Allman, I thought Berry Oakley on bass was the most impressive, he was a huge talent.

Otis Redding was also from Macon, went to his funeral. Still think that ‘Sittin on the Dock of the Bay’ is forever a classic.  🙂 bert

Rich, you know the place.  Little Richard was the first big name from Macon, he was a mess to say the least but holy cow could he get a crowd jumpin.  This pic was from the time I was checkin out the Allman Bros in ~1969:
