Hope everyone had a great christmas, I have been all over lately but it's good to be back home now. I am also rather weary of all the music cd's in the truck and looking for ideas on some new ones to get. I listen to a huge range of music so nothing is really out of the question. What are some suggestions?
youtube links to the songs would be awesome so we all can enjoy.
I'll start off with a few must have cd's for a long trip (even if I am tired of them now)
1) Pride and Glory, saw them live in 1994.

2) soad, toxicity
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdRd3k4CIAg
3) srv - texas flood - have had this spinning forever
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWLw7nozO_U

I see you are already doing some SOAD.
Daddymem got me started on SOAD and Serj Tankian -the leader, and I haven't left there yet-- I'm easy to entertain.
Just realized I need to add--- Caution some songs on my list contained lyrics you may not want your kids singing--- so I removed the link
All SOAD or Serj songs - most are great but some may be objectionable to some.
Well, this is a kind of song, depending how you percieve it, ..........

I totally dig that System song, toxicity. Any time a group can use a word with that many sylibles, they should. Richard Cheese and the Lounge Against the Machine Orchestra is fun, as is The Asylum Street Spankers.
If you are looking for more mainstream, I like any of the old soul singers. Almost anything bluesey is good too, stuff with that gospel sound root.
Heard about a Jazz album last night on NPR. Headhunter. Has the song Chameleon on it, pretty cool, Daddy-o.
I like the Soad theme -- ragging on the System - gov etc- all of the things that need ragging on and more.- as well as Serj's songs. I could listen to them all day --well I do all night but that's beside the point. No wonder I can't hear... [crz]
Some old fart I heard is pretty good. Can't be real good though at $1.99 ;)

Thanks Windpower for Tommy Emmmanuel. He like Chet Adkins and Les Paul were and Eric Clapton is they just do not play guitar they go somewhere else with it. When you hear it you know it.
While I never was into Motown recordings when I was younger. Every once in a while, about once a week I have to sit down and listen to these tracks by Joan Osborne and the Funk Brothers. Thank God they got those guys back together for that one last big gig. More have passed now. How they feed off each other, you see the glances and the grins. YAA!! Baby we still got it!!

I had an old friend that past a couple of years ago Ernie Hagar he was like those above only with a steel.
http://www.bigvjamboree.com/ErnieHagarPhotorama.htm
We down at work just loved this guy. (He was a contract driver that deadheaded or transported us to places.) Oh the stories he could and would tell. He said when they broke the studio musicians up, it killed it for him. He just could not do it any more.
He would get tracks in the mail, then he would drive down to the studio. Give the engineer the tracts, set up. He would lay down his, pack up. On the way out he would pick up his copies, then mail them off. You could just hear the disdain and hate in his voice of his once beloved industry. In the studio he play for or toured with every one from Sinatra to Willie Nelson, The Sons of the Pioneers to Johnny Cash. He would explain over and over when you had everyone there, there was magic in the air you fed off each other. When you see the Funk Brothers there and Joan Osborne you felt it. No wonder the music industry is not what it was.
PS I seem to have to sit down one a week also with Doc Watson.... Alison Krauss.... the Highwaymen.... Thanks Youtube you keep part of America there.
something a bit different ... I love this song, and you cant go wrong with playing blues in G over the top of it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNnMsKUq6RQ
I do like this song, but am posting the video as about 90% of it was pictures taken within 10 miles from muldoon, tx. I recognize Lake Fayette - great bass lake and good swimming hole, I recognise the HEB from La Grange thats 9 miles away, I recognize the ridge that crests above the colorado rover up at Krietzes brewery landmark, this video is home to me.
The beach pictures are likely Victoria or Matagorda bay, about an hours drive.

A couple of other masters......Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wTVLIZaxMk
I had the pleasure of seeing Atkins in concert circa 1975; he used a 335 Gibson and a Gretch Tennesean and some really beat up acoustic. And played with a young man of whom I don't recall his name.........

Thought I would take it down a notch. My 8 year old daughter made her first public debut while playing "Boil that Cabbage". She was accompanied by her brother who found it very difficult to play at that beginners pace. I reminded him that he too was once in that chair years ago.

Thanks Sparks. The band is know as "Mude Hole Control" and have been playing for nearly 40 years. The fiddle and banjo players probably have been playing for 50+ years and are considered "Masters". They are traveling to the State Capitol for the Holiday to play a square dance in a music festival (Vandalia) held yearly. They asked my son to go with them to play back up for the older banjo player who has had some health problems. Quite an honor to pick my son (16 years) over other older players. His style (Clawhammer) is a rare breed amoung banjo players nowdays as most go the blue grass route. He is keeping Applachain Music alive which is the basis of banjo music as we know today.
spent some time with my daughter tonight doing some two-step after dinner. she is getting pretty good.

Good music this past weekend when my son and myself attended the Maury River Fiddlers Convention at Beuna Vista, Virginia. He placed in the top 3 of the Youth Division. Actually he wanted to enter the adult competetion but was unable to play on Friday evening which was required to compete in Saturdays event. This week is Music, Music and more Music. Annual Allegheny Echos Workshop with some of the States finest musicians as instructors and the evening music just can't be topped. Here is a couple video's of songs from last week.
