Vinyl Fiend
I like records.
A still from It Might Get Loud featuring Jack White, Jimmy Page, and The Edge. Notice the Howlin’ Wolf lp in the foreground.
I met Charlie Louvin the other night and he could not have been sweeter. He told me that the greatest thing in this world is love. That’s the truth.
Mike Garson demonstrates the many sounds of an M-Audio ProKeys 88 SX Stagepiano.
Mike Garson is one of the unsung heroes of the piano/keyboard. He has played with a number of great artists over the years including David Bowie and Nine Inch Nails just to name a few. I had the pleasure of seeing him twice in 1998 when he toured with Smashing Pumpkins. His haunting tones added much to the overall feel of the Pumpkins’ live show. I found this particular album at the Salvation Army a few days ago. Released in 1982, Jazzical is Garson’s 2nd solo effort and is just what the name says - a fusion of jazz and classical music. All I can say is that it’s pretty freakin’ cool. He is joined on the Mini-Moog Synthesizer by the great Chick Corea.
Lyle Lovett - covering “Flyin’ Shoes” by Townes Van Zandt in Brussels - 2009
Townes Van Zandt - “No Place to Fall” - Live at the Old Quarter
This is a recent indulgence purchase - Townes Van Zandt’s Flyin’ Shoes on 180 gram vinyl. This was a no-brainer.
