Wow, Robert Plant is still out there after all of these years, singing his Tolkienian song from 1969 (way before all of the movies and Hobbit hype)!
It turns out he is from J.R.R. Tolkien’s region in England.
I Like You, Just The Way You Are
This is easily my favorite 3-string cigar box guitar song (combined with a one-handed, muted trumpet). Okay, truth be told, it is my only known 3-string cigar box guitar song (combined with a one-handed, muted trumpet). But, I still “like it, just the way it is.”
Angus & Julia Stone (siblings) have been performing, intermittently, since 2006. They are from a musical Australian family where Julia, at a young age, started out with a trumpet and Angus with a trombone.
Below is a more recent live performance where they play a number of songs (including another version of the above).
SYML
SYML (Seattle’s Brian Fennell) does a live version of Where’s My Love with Carla Morrison, in a Mexico City recording studio. His accompanist beautifully sings some of the lyrics in Spanish (a language seemingly designed for song).
Looking At The Rain
The third consecutive day of rain reminded me of this song and the late great singer/songwriter, Gordon Lightfoot.
I wish I had found a decent “live” version of him singing it.
We’re Better On Our Days With The Horses
Okay, the song has nothing to do with the video other than we call our ebikes our horses. And our days are pretty good on them.
This is a recent bike ride on Zion National Park’s famous Scenic Drive.
The music is written and performed by Alberta cowboy-musician Stewart MacDougall. Interestingly, the backup vocals are performed by Billy Cowsill, former teen idol of the 1960s family band, The Cowsills. Billy was a lifelong musician and, sadly, this was his final performance.
Hollow Coves
Hollow Coves outside of the Zion Canyon Mesa Arts Center. This was an actual concert. What an incredible setting!
