music in the shed

Last night like many evenings I was working on the Laverda in my garage. I have an old CD player and some 30 year old Altec Lansing speakers connected to an even older HK amp, its a pretty good sound, loud too.
    In memory of the recent passing of one of rocks greatest musicians Levon Helm I loaded up the CD with a few of The Bands albums and had a great musical event. The Band, one good ol boy from Arkansas (Levon)and four Canadians came into my world when I saw the movie Easy Rider. I was fourteen years old and their music stuck with me all these years and Levon recent solo albums are pure Americana treasures. It was a good night,  Cheers Dave

Ahhh those were the days - Hopper on a Chopper and Fonda on a Honda. Life was so much simpler then, and petrol was cheap.  8)
 
Just moved out of an apartment and I am living in a House with a Garage. Yay!!
Sooooooo...........
I was in the garage wrenchs and ratchets and sockets flying while I was tearing the HELL out of my walls with
The Best of the Scorpions (Pictured Life, In Trance and Sails of Charon)
followed by
Accept - Restless and Wild, Head Over Heels

I feel very good today.
 
Have been looking for a good blues internet radio for some time, hundreds to choose from of course and have listened to about that many, best one so far is http://bellyup4blues.com/ check it out man.....

Now I just gotta figure out how to feed it into the grudge for bike fettling sessions.
 
Couldn't get up to CLQ Concours, so I went to another great gig, Lanie Lane playing at Phillip Island.
She's a gorgeous girl from Sydney and what a voice. Writes all her own stuff too.
First vinyl LP I've bought in about 20 years.
She's a bit Amy Winehouse meets Nancy Sinatra!
Selling out shows everywhere.

I listen to Turning Point at least once a week along with Jazz Blues Fusion, the album that he released after Turning Point.
Just love Freddie Robinson on guitar.
