I have heard some stuff from Lou reed but not really a lot of the Velvet underground.

For a time it was "The Velvet Underground", then it seems it was always "Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground", then just "Lou Reed". I don't know what happened to The Velvet Underground. This band was a part of the New York Art/Andy Warhol set.

This is another entry into the emerging artists category.

This is Blues prodigy Quinn Sullivan when he was 6 years old. Buddy Guy who is himself a Blues Guitarist and pioneer took Quinn under his wing upon meeting him. Buddy is known not only for being a great blues guitar player but also for mentoring and helping other aspiring musicians.

This is a clip of Quinn Sullivan when he was 6 years old appearing on the Ellen Degenres show

This is Quinn in 2013 with Buddy Guy at Red Rocks.

I'm sure Quinn Sullivan will have a well deserved future in Blues music if he doesn't already.

Some Food For Thought
 

Here's an old post by my much-missed pal Tango589, which I thought might be appreciated here:

Vince Guaraldi Trio - Linus And Lucy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6zypc_LhnM

It is very hard for me to believe that I first heard this piece of music 50 years ago and countless times since. I remember thinking that the show was pretty funny but the music was very cool. The only surviving member of the The Vince Guaraldi Trio, drummer Jerry Granelli now lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The group recorded the shows music in three hours and thought that was it.

This is so cool. Although the song is instantly Identifiable, I never knew who did the original soundtrack for the series or the TV special.

There is a comment on the video written by a viewer that sums it up better than I could:

Quote : Amazing how music can unlock parts of ourselves that we thought we'd buried or outgrown. Suddenly I'm 7 years old again, sitting in my living room and watching A Charlie Brown Christmas with my parents, my little brother, and a big mug of hot chocolate.

Just a great performance. And a great song.

Incredible bass by George Porter. Great drums and keys. And Mr. Haynes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBAubJJt2mU

Govt. Mule is just a rocking band. Great Bass Guitar from George Porter Jr. starting at 8:20 . Excellent Musicians all around.

Jim- I had no Idea who Lindisfarne was but thanks to you, I do now. Looks like a great show .

Alex- This is proof enough if you know what you are doing, you can " shred " on anything including clarinet.


This is Poppa Chubby who is a great blue guitarist but perhaps lesser known.

This piece goes under the category of emerging artists. That squirrely guy Eichhörnchen likes Classical music. I do as well .

I have heard Canon in D by Johan Pachelbel many times by various musicians . Pachelbel was a German Composer and teacher born August of 1653 and died in 1706

I found this gentlemen by the name of Per-Olov Kindren a few years ago. He is obviously classically trained . I have never heard this song played this well on guitar . He plays the other songs just as well. See what you think

This is my favorite live show I was at:

Just a portion. During the 1st set it rained cats and dogs. And it was also the last time I saw the keyboardist.

Blues music is something of a fading art. It took a major hit with the untimely loss of Stevie Ray Vaughan in a helicopter crash on Aug 27, 1990. Stevie had so much more music left to play and write . There are a number of artists that have worked hard to maintain Blues and present it as a viable and mainstream art form.

One such artist is Corey Stevens. Corey began playing guitar at the age of 11 . Corey graduated from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale to pursue a career in music . Corey worked as a school teacher for the Los Angeles Unified School District for ten years before signing a recording contract with the independent label, Eureka Records.

Eureka Records released Corey Stevens debut album in 1995 titled " Blue Drops Of Rain " garnering comparisons to Stevie ray Vaughn in playing style. To my ears at least, Corey's voice sounds a bit like slow hand himself, Eric Clapton. I'm sure Stevie Ray would be proud .

This is the title song Blue Drops Of Rain from Corey Stevens debut album

I wish I could sing. Can't. People like this really impress me. It isn't vocal gymnastics or flashy moves. Not sure what it is but she has it.
