I'd like to pay tribute to friend and drumming mentor, Gary Burke. He played with Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Review, for which he got a gold record hanging on the back of his bathroom door, so when you sit on the can, you're faced with it. He spent a decade and a half as Joe Jackson's drummer, before he retired back to Woodstock to hang with the remnants of The Band.
Here he's playing with Professor Louie and the Crowmatix, the state of the art of Americana today. But this isn't that, it's some non-vocal (from a very vocal band) blues/jazz. The Professor often plays with the Rock of Ages horns, and that is a treat to be cherished.
Without further ado, let me introduce the Mohawk Nation's premier global drummer, Mr. Luck, Gary Burke.

And for a final homage to the first of the New Depression's Anthems, with a nod to The Band, here's The Weight.
Whether this is your music or not, and while my 22 years in San Francisco make me call it "home,", my real home is the Catskill Mountains (borderline Mohawk country), and this brings me home. Thanks Professor Louie and the Crowmatix.

And for both of yez: this must be my Shostakovich phase--I'm not by nature a fan of the string quartet, but here is part of one. Particular! I was suddenly imagining I was Mozart, listening to this music, nodding, while thinking...hmmm...
And especially for Crazy Horse -- those soft walls and bodies, yeah! Suddenly I get a vision...."a baritone Roy Orbison"....time for bed!

more great musical memories as the world burns. Mexican rock in LA, "all alone in a world in pain... but he'll find his wings... Singing songs of passion... will the wolf survive...
