  1. Joe Pug is thoughtful and engaging.  His "Working Songwriter" podcast has some really good guests and conversations.  I sometimes wish they'd talk more about the mechanics of writing songs, but I understand that there's a finite public appetite for talking about the best chord progressions for building tension, or about the glorious uncertainty of the major 7 chord.  
    His latest episode is a good one - a conversation with Bob Schneider.
    This episode has some observations from each of them that I found really relatable.  You songwriter dudes will like it.  If you don't care about his own housekeeping topics, you can skip the first five minutes.

    Thanks. I used to listen to Joe's podcast but lost it in a switch to a different platform.
  2. Open drawer talk not going away.... Wife was putting away the groceries while was doing something else in the kitchen.

    Her: "I'm too hot in this sweater. I need to go change clothes. " ... And off she goes.

    Notice the placement of the asparagus......I would assume that is temporary.... But would likely be wrong.

    Upon turning around....

  3. I feel ya @SHOOTER12 . Pictured here are 2, 7 ft tall side light windows from some hurricane damaged church in Florida.   She found them in some 'antique' shop in Port. St. Jo, FL while we were on vacation.  OOOHHHHHH the plans she had for these.  I had to wrap them in bubble wrap and cram them down into kayaks to get them home.  I can't believe I didn't break any of the glass.  That was 10 years ago.  Here they still sit....leaning against a basement wall, along with a bunch of art/maps that have never been frame, and about 13 other pieces of furniture that we don't have room for.     And then bitches because of all the junk in the basement.  Fuck.  

    And fucking open drawers.  I will NEVER understand that.

    One other adjacent topic thought is that George Harrison has to be the greatest non-primary songwriter in a band that is the primary thing all of its members are famous for. By a big margin, right?

     

    George Harrison was my first thought.   And the Beatles might not have recorded many of his songs, but IMO, I like his solo stuff a lot more than any other Beatle and Beatle material was generally by favorite songs. 

    Beatles songs:  Here Comes The Son, Something, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, 

    Solo career on these three alone: Beware of Darkness, What Is Life,  Give Me Love

    And yep.   Wilburys for greatest supergroup.   They wrote all new songs among themselves.  And on that first record, not a bump in the road.   

    Highway Men did older songs of their solo career and covers.  

     

  5. Who is the guitarist in that backing band.  Not   Tom Bukovac but the strat player.  I've seen him in several shows when Don Was was the music coordinator but no idea who it is.   Only bad thing about Willie's show was it was done in LA and all of the Hollywood types announcing acts.  Did see Neuheisel in the crowd.    I recorded the last hour so hopefully, they will at least list the credits of the band.  

    Also, I was watching that shit show CMA Country Christmas and Harmoni Kelley was playing bass in that band.  So happy for her.    Assholes didn't run the credits at the end or introduce the band.

  6. I have two Gretsch guitars and I love them both.   One is like that red one but with a P90 in the neck and filtertron in the bridge.  I'm going to replace that bridge with a better version, but I only play that neck P90 and LOVE it.   I also have one of the big hollow body guitars.  Completely different that anything else I own and what it does, it does perfectly.  I can' never the model numbers but I really like both of these.

    So I didn't know where to really put this, maybe there should be a general books about music thread. Or maybe there is one and my search skills are too inept to find it.

     

    Anyhoo, I have almost finished this up. Beyond things like college and independent radio being totally my wheelhouse, this book does a really cool job diving into a lot of the cultural issues that existed concurrently. And when it gets to the late 80s and early 90s it's like a time machine taking me back to that era. Highly recommended.

    This is going to be right in my wheelhouse.  Thanks for posting.
