My wife has informed me that she is getting tickets for an Elton John concert later this month. Not only is he an outstanding artist and live performer, he has been clean and sober for decades. |
Wow, CAH. That's wonderful. I hope you guys enjoy the concert! |
I saw Elton John back in the early 70's, his new album Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player had just come out. :egypt: :egypt: |
Dixie Chicks, good as it gets. :egypt: |
We saw the Four Tops and the Temptations in Memphis last week. It was a fun show, as it always is with this pair (they usually tour together). |
I got to see Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen, Jr. a few nights ago. They have been friends since 1976, when they were in college at Texas A & M. It was like they were sitting around they're living rooms talking with a guitar over their shoulders and taking turns singing songs. I am crazy about both of them. |

This Begger's Heart Darrell Scott https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dLXVtC0DOw I guess we're all beggers from time to time. Even accomplished musicians like Darrell Scott. I guess that speaks to me loudly and perhaps why I relate to musicians/singers so well. We're all reaching out for something. Everybody's reaching out for something or someone. This Beggar's Heart Darrell Scott Album A Crooked Road This beggar's heart that I've been given This beggar's heart has a working door It may swing wide, it may be bolted To feel this world no more This voice I sing, it has been given This voice I sing will break down the door And what's inside will find a friend or two And sing alone no more These hands of mine will do you bidding The hands will play in time and tune And time will show these hands have mattered If they have mattered to you These eyes of mine, they take your picture These eyes that see into and for I close my eyes and I still see you And see myself no more These feet have walked me through this lonesome world These feet have dropped me here today And I'll be damned, I'm going where I'm going I've really known no other way These words I sing, they ring familiar These words I sing I've heard before Oh, fare thee well, my one and own true love I'll see you in my dreams once more |

I like Darrell Scott a lot, teatreeoil007. Thanks for sharing the youtube link and the lyrics. I am going to hear Bob Dylan play on Wednesday evening. I'm really excited. I haven't seen him in 35 years. And we're sitting on row 2, center, in the pits. He is the poet laureate of my generation. |
Yes, Bob Dylan is quite the poet. I get kind of excited when I see yungn talent cover some of his songs. Hey, I'm glad you like Darrell. He is this amazing music man, but tends to keep himself low profile....what you see is what you get. I find his songs to very honest and real. He's written so many. He wrote this one that has been covered by so many artists. I took a song writing workshop from him and Tim O'Brien once. Totally blew me away....I seen and heard him perform live....again, just very real and honest in his stage presence. You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive. By Darrell Scott. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ_HzBSY4FE |

Going back a ways here to a formative song in my life (soundtrack to my life kinda thing) ...a deep cut from Blood Sugar Sex Magik….My Lovely Man...someone mentioned mortality in another thread and this applies, but it is also on regular rotation for me at the gym. Rich, uproarious punk love song....and Fruciante has more intuition than abundant talent |

Thx. The first time I heard Eva Cassidy it stopped me in my tracks and I was like, "Who IS that?!" I love her style of guitar playing too...finger picking mixed with lead.... |
She hated her playing and singing most of the time...she was never satisfied and refused to sing music she considered unworthy. She was also deathly afraid of performing. A couple of fun facts on her... 1. She worked at a pre-school and was responsible for painting a mural; she painted fish with the bubbles defying gravity. She thought the kids would be the only to care. 2. She was close to being signed by Blue Note records, but they passed. After all was said and done, BN said it was the worst pass they ever made. 3. She showed up to record with Chuck Brown who had never seen her. EC walked in and Chuck didn't put together her voice with a petite blond. He was floored. 4. Sting, who bristles at being covered, loved her version of Fields of Gold |
Ah. She sounds much like many artists! Picky...critical of her own work perhaps? Very very common....Never quite happy with it? Well, anyways, it just seems like to me that is how many artists (not all) are.....very critical of their art. Some are hard to work with....which is why some of them go solo. It's not that they are just difficult people, I don't think it's just that each artist sees things different in their own unique way and they hear things a little bit different...so that "working up a song" with other artists can be challenging. Just look at all the groups that are disbanded? Anyways. I love the following of Eva's version. "Time After Time". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWvPOJOYqGA |
