Your last concert was to see who and when?
Saw the Dixie Dregs play at Center Stage here in Atlanta Saturday. It was a blast from the past and Steve Morse is still a monster on guitar. The highlight was at the end when Jimmy Herring (currently lead guitar for Widespread Panic) came out and...

Streaming is just the latest attempt by the industry to achieve their holy grail- a monthly subscription service like cable tv. The problem is that the corporations don't always take care of the artists and once they have you locked into a subscri... 
Any NPR Tiny Desk Studio Concert.... lovers ? on youtube

I have also been enjoying Big Big Train's "Grimspound" which was named asThe Prog Report's best album of 2017. If you like early Genesis, Jethro Tull, Yes, and the prog genre in general you will like this. Well thought out songs and excellent musi...

This is sad news. I was trying to think of my favorite Becker solos. I think that it is probably "Green Earrings". I also like his solo albums. He had a terrific sense of humor..

Thoughts on Aimee Mann....
I really like the f&##smilers album. I also got turned onto her in the Til Tuesday days. I remember reading an interview with them where on their 2nd album they used Rhett Davies as a producer because they admired the sound from Roxy Music's "...
