Your last concert was to see who and when?
Puddles Pity Party, late June. You've got to see this 7-ft. tenor clown perform once in your life. Very different--great covers, good entertainment. Worth every penny and every minute spent at the show. 
RIP Jillian Johnson The Figs
You need to study the history of the US. There are isolated incidents of government intervention that are cause for alarm, but no one is trying to take your guns away. Quit acting like a fool. Or move to Texas, you'll be in good company. We've got... 
Best Female Vocalists Ballads
+1 for Kat Edmundson. Bdp24, do you mean Stuart Duncan on fiddle--or maybe Bryon Sutton on guitar? 
Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
I would wager the actual sound (not the rated watts) of an AC-15 is louder than a Fender Deluxe. I have owned both. 
Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio
I think speakers are better than they were pre-1980. Am I off base? 
Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
I think Chuck gets too little credit from the average person and average guitarist for his contributions. I have no doubt that folks like Keith and Dave appreciate him. I'm sure he was their idol. Chuck's songs are mini-wonders. Each one tells a c... 
Some Musical Truths
That same hillbilly also sang "'cuz if you mind your own business then you won't be mindin' mine." 
Early Music aka Historically Informed Music
Okay--if Pitt is in the top five US orchestras, which of these are not: NY Phil, Cleveland, Chicago, Boston, LA Phil, Seattle, Minnesota... 
Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
Chuck set the standard for how to play rock and roll guitar. His style stood up for ten years till Hendrix defined the sound of the future. Chuck's stuff holds up even now IMO. An under-appreciated American musical hero. 
Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
I've taught that lick to kids a lot of times--there's at least as much of Chuck in there as there is of the other guy. 
Johnny Winter
I saw Johnny once in the 80's and once in the 90's--wish I'd seen him in the 70's. He was an amazing player and an inspiration to the younger players. Best thing ever to come out of Beaumont, TX, that's for certain. 
Why Listen To FM Radio For Music Anymore At Home?
Why? For a change of pace when I don't feel like selecting from my own library. If I don't like what's on I go to plan B. I also like hearing the local music news on air. 
Why not accordion ?
For a real treat listen to the Ry Cooder medly of "Viva Seguin" and "Do-Re-Mi" on his live album. Flaco Jimenez is perfect and the whole band cooks. 
The New Cream re-issues
Sound-wise, Fresh Cream is one of my least favorite albums, all-time. I'd love to find out that someone has improved it. The material is great but the sound just isn't there to back it up IMO. 
Odd rock trivia-Who knew?
I only found out about the Ed King story in the last few years. I knew about him from SAC but had not known he was in Skynyrd. I had the first two SAC LPs and saw them live once. They were good.It does seem as if Derek and the Dominos would have b...
