Loving the new @pinegroveband record “Marigold.” Anyone else a fan? 🙋‍♂️

Dave Matthews fans have been very upset by the news that even though Dave won the fan vote, the band was not inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. My guess is that DMB will get in, just not for a few years. This is the letter that was sent to the Rock Hall by fans asking them to reconsider the weight of the fan vote as DMB won the fan vote but wasn’t voted in. Personally, I don’t think DMB should be inducted on their first year of eligibility, but I think they should be inducted eventually. What do you think?

This is Charles Bradley performing my favorite song of his. Hear more about Charles in my latest podcast episode, available now at link in bio.

New Pearl Jam album, “Giganton,” is set to be released on March 27th. It’s been seven years since their last release. 👏🏻🎸👏🏻🎸

Finished this book about Joy Division today told by those who were around at the time and experienced the band. The band created such a memorable sound, and to hear people talk about how mesmerizing they were live has sent me down a rabbit hole of old clips. Crazy they only released two albums before Ian Curtis’ death. Any other Joy Division fans out there?

In the latest Songs of Note Podcast we talk about my favorite guitar song of all time: Stevie Ray Vaughan’s cover of the Jimi Hendrix song, “Little Wing.” Listen now at link in bio.

Here are my 2019 music-related highlights. Such a cool year turning 40, going to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with friends, saw The Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney and started a music podcast. Looking forward to 2020!

This video quality is not good, but I was looking for a clip of Stevie Ray Vaughan playing a show at this beautiful venue called The Gorge in Washington. While the video quality leaves much to be desired, his playing is phenomenal. Imagine it’s the day of this concert. You have tickets at this venue where the backdrop is this beautiful landscape. You fought traffic and crowds and lines, but finally made it. Stevie comes on, the weather is perfect and the band is really nailing it. What a great night that must have been. For the guitar nerds out there, note the amount of things that are happening in this short clip. Stevie plays the Hendrix song flawlessly which is a feat in and of itself. He plays behind his back. He plays guitar one-handed. This means he’s not using his picking hand, he’s pulling on the strings with enough force to make them ring out and it’s a pretty difficult thing to do well. Then he adds a muted chunk part that tips its hat to the Hendrix song, “Are You Experienced?” And all that is happening in a one minute clip. I love SRV. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

What a voice! Lizzo 👏🏻
