A dear friend turned me on to these guys yesterday.
Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio from Seattle, WA doing Curtis Mayfield’s “Moving On Up”.
This band is amazingly tight and they are clearly having a blast.

I meant to post this the other day when I listened to it and thought wow. I've never really listened to it:
Far
We've been traveling far
Without a home
But not without a star
Free
Only want to be free
We huddle close
Hang on to a dream
On the boats and on the planes
They're coming to America
Never looking back again
They're coming to America
Home
Don't it seem so far away
Oh, we're traveling light today
In the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm
Home
To a new and a shiny place
Make our bed and we'll say our grace
Freedom's light burning warm
Freedom's light burning warm
Everywhere around the world
They're coming to America
Every time that flag's unfurled
They're coming to America
Got a dream to take them there
They're coming to America
Got a dream they've come to share
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
Today, today
Today, today, today
My country 'tis of thee (today)
Sweet land of liberty (today)
Of thee I sing (today)
Of thee I sing
Today, today, today
Today, today, (today, today)
And then this rolled up with his explanation:

Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....
This is an interesting cover of the classic song. Her voice gives an ethereal quality to the aching lyrical acceptance of, and submission to, death.
The entire album "Street Corner Talking" is pretty awesome.

Rick Beatto had a list of 20 greatest drum grooves that had a lot of “oh yeah that” going on.

For those of us of a certain age, who are part of the Apple Music ecology, Joe Satriani’s ‘Surfing With the Alien’ has been released in Dolby Atmos. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how much that remastering impacts some older albums.

Here’s a guy getting about as much music out of one voice and one guitar as possible. @Lex Luthier

Wow. A new Guitarist From Another Planet. He pushes hard and sticks the landings, doesn't he?
Several thoughts.
1) I can see in my mind the late Michael Hedges watching this and thinking to himself "If I get another turn around the wheel as a guitarist, I'm gonna *have* to take some voice lessons..."
2) George Lowden probably suffers night sweats over that guitar's structural condition.
3) Bill Keith would be delighted at his banjo tuners being used that way.
4) I really like how he's pushing the pickup system into mild distortion, then easing up to let it ring clean.
He really does remind me of Hedges at his most adventurous, with far better tools at hand.
For those not exposed, there was a guy from Enid Oklahoma named Mike, who had some very interesting ideas about musical composition, and thought he should modify how he played his guitar in order to express them.
I attended an entire summer of Michael Hedges weekend shows at the New Varsity Theater in Palo Alto in 1984, including this one. Probably 20 performances overall, at $2 a pop.
He kinda ruined my life, really. Worst $40 I've yet spent.

We can discuss Michael when we meet in meatspace. *Lots* to talk about there. Randy Lutge too. The varsity is where that whole label got its start.
