Row Jimmy - Grateful Dead 5.8.77 - Barton Hall (Cornell University), Ithaca, NY Friday was the 32nd anniversary of what remains one of, if not the , most hallowed shows in the illustrious career of the Grateful Dead. While "all-time best show" is and will always be up for debate, this version of Row Jimmy is my personal favorite. It's always been one of my favorite Dead songs due to its lyrical message, Jerry's vocal delivery, and the beautiful melodies. 05/08/77 Barton Hall (Cornell University) [...]

This is the title song from his 1977 album. MP3 File yousendit
Jack-a-Roe - Grateful Dead 5.18.77 - Fox Theater, Atlanta, GA Here's another one of my favorites from the famed May '77 run. These guys really knew how to package all of their sounds without making it too crowded. I believe the sound crew was just as responsible as the musicians. This recording is a great example. Enjoy!
Same as it ever was.Last week, I came across an old cover of Nashville! magazine. It's a special "Pamper Yourself" edition from 1977, full of tantalizing tidbits on fall fashions, Nashville's most exp... Continue reading "Nashville! Asks the Same Questions We've Been Asking For 30 Years" >

The Scruffs were a late 70s power pop band who released this great debut album in 1977 (off the Power Play Records label). Even though the Scruffs looked like a group of hip New Yorkers they actually hailed from Memphis, Tennessee. All 13 tracks were written by guitarist Stephen Burns though lead guitarist Dave Branyan gets partial credit for three numbers. Other important members of the Scruffs included bass...

Bill Evans - Theme from M*A*S*H (Suicide is Painless) Recorded in 1977, though released on the posthumous You Must Believe in Spring (1981). I like the bass line. Bill Evans: Piano Eddie Gomez: Bass Eliot Zigmund: Drums

FROM THE ARCHIVES Francis Lai - Melissa This was supposed to be a vinyl rip the first time {10/26/07}, but it wasn't then, and now it is. Props to the bass player. Recorded at Studio Davout . Wouldn't it be great if there was a big box set of all the David Hamilton soundtracks, including this one ?

So I've been on a James Bond binge lately and let me just say, the exotic locations, the not only beautiful but unique women, the cars, the luxury, the class, I mean it's no wonder why it's one of the longest running and most successful film franchises to date. Anyways, while watching The Spy Who Loved Me last night I thought that given how my romantic exploits these day would most closely resemble those of a 007, what could be more suiting than posting a Bond [...]
