A wonderful version of Gordon Lightfoot's homage to the sailors who lost their lives on the Great Lakes. It is both a jam band version that preserves the integrity of the song while the band's arrangement serves the song, not the players. Its dirge like melody sticks in your ear.

Michael, if you haven't seen this, or you are not familiar with Snowy White, do yourself a big favour and watch this master show how minor pentatonics can be done. You're welcome.

A Masterclass in taste. Snowy's lead is proof positive that a simple three chord vamp can be a sound cushion to perfect note selection. If you don't know Snowy White, best get with the program. Peter Green asked Snowy to play this composition on Green's album "In the Skies", as an example of his street cred.

As a pilot and sailor and tropical inhabitant my love for Jimmy Buffet's song writing and feel good humanism was a natural. The Killers capture that vibe here. RIP Jimmy, may fair winds, clear skies and following seas take you home. Thank you for your work.

Micheal, do yourself a favor andput your earphones on for this one. So many lessons here, from how to build a deep groove to how to be sensitive to what is happening around you to how simple becomes outstanding.
Ry Cooder is Gutherie Trapp's hero. Mine too. From an album release which is just now infiltrating the musical exicon of Americana gospel. Cooder is still pure genius.

Absolutely one of the best versions of this Blues classics you will ever see. The techniques exhibited would make up a whole course in themselves. Couple of old white guys with guitars and a drummer...this is how it is done.
If this doesn't mqke you want to sleep with your axe, then nothing will!!!

The Dead Meet Dickie Betts in this cool jam with Billie Strings and Blackberry Smoke, live at the Ryman Auditorium. Some great interplay here. Check it out.

The best version I have heard of this Dead tune. Dedicated to Jerry Garcia and done in the full spirit of the song. David Crosby, Jimmy Buffet and great choral vocals and playing. A Playing for Change production.
Jerry would approve.

Before the Doors was Love. Live, it was an LA based jam band with a killer arranger/songwriter /frontman named Arthur Lee.
This is from the start of their Love "Forever Changes " album, one of the 10 best alobums from the 1960's. The strings and horns weren't add ons. Lee hired a classical arranger to help him translate the sounds in his head to vinyl.
This lineup, is in my opinion, (and I first saw them in 1966 in LA), is the best musically, though the original was so quirky you never know what you were going to get. Mike Randall and Rust Squeezebox are just great together (originally in the LA band Bad Press and then Baby Lemonade).
Michael, I hope you grab a listen to these guys. It might add some inspiration to your own creativity. Enjoy!

A real insightful interview with Jerry Garcia which is a wide ranging discussion of his musical development morphing into how the Grateful Dead group musical dynamics work.
The 'frosting on the cake'story is priceless, and worth waiting for. You had to be there (figuratively). Some of us were.
