Mississippi Heat - Hattiesburg Blues ---------- Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art. - Charlie Parker
Funny thing is, I was out in the garage working on my restoration project then and I came in to see what my woman was doing. When I walked in the door I called but no response. Then, in the back of the house I heard something so I went toward the music room/woodshed. Well much to my delight I found Deedie in the laundry room, just off the woodshed with my Manji playing the Star Spangled Banner. That just makes my heart warm and leaves me with a smile.
I bought 2 CDs by Rod Piazza I've been listening to while driving to and from work. I'm liking Rod & his band a lot. Around the house I've been listening to some of the stuff you guys put up on here. For something different I've been listening to these guys for about 9 years. Sometimes the original DR. They're all great players. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7UHmKfUAu8&feature=related
I just got through listening to Herd blues from Herd of Germany his a myspace friend who may be on this forum im not sure,but anyway i love that song its so cool the tone in it just drives the energy up so much,its not a lot of notes,but the way he phases them and like i said that tone,ive been listening to it once a day,for the last couple days,Goes to show good music can come from anywhere or anybody dont have to be a superstar i wish he had more than 2 songs on his myspace page but check him out hes called Herd

I watched Buddy Greene perform this piece from 5 feet away @ NAMM yesterday with only 10 people watching and it was just as cool as it is in this video!
Still listening to a lot of black metal, since a coworker gave me the tip to download the albums via "rapidshare". (These are records really difficult to get in stores).
On another hand, I'm trying to get familiar to old-school Rock n'Roll because one of the bands I'm in is playing a lot of it. So, I recently discovered Bo Diddley and his "Diddley Beat" and got really hooked up on it. I'm working it on the harp, it's a really fun beat to play on.

I'm listening to a couple of cd's of NOLA Bands a buddy from New Orleans gave me this weekend in Dallas...The classic "Meters Live on the Queen Mary", and contemporary: "Ultimate Rebirth Brass Band".
Also a rock mix that a buddy gave me. He's a bass player in a touring country rock band. I recognize almost all of it although I don't know the names of the bands! ---------- http://www.youtube.com/1shanester
Listening to... my iPod on random like usual :D . Though someties I pick a specific artist. Lately they've been: Tom Waits (who I discovered thanks to you guys), Regina Spektor, Howard Levy, Damien Rice, Paco de Lucia, Tegan & Sara, Cannonball Adderly, & plenty of blues ;) . I could keep going but I won't.

"I play the harmonica. The only way I can play is if I get my car going really fast, and stick it out the window." - Stephen Wright
Pennsylvania - H.A.R.P. (Harmonica Association 'Round Philly)
I saw these guys the other day performing here in Toronto. They are amazing. I really think that the harmonica would fit perfectly in their instrumental style.
Know any other neat instrumental bands? tell me, I am discovering them.
Susheela is awesome! I recently discovered her. Some of the most amazing vocals I've heard.
I just finished listening to Miles Davis's "Bitches Brew." I'm currently looking for the splattered remnants of my brain on the other side of the house.

@ LittleJoe......I love their sound....She has a bluesy/ soulful voice. Pierre's style is what I try to emulate....he is a wonderful player.....sits back and adds tasty fills until it's time to rip...and then HE RIPS !! ---------- Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom.
