Billy Strings learned an important lesson tonight. They had a bit more time for set 1 and he asked the audience if they wanted to hear anything special. He noticed a little girl in the front row and asked her what she wanted their all strings bluegrass band to do. Her answer: Cher’s “Believe”.

Briefly, I threw some of my favorite Meat Puppets songs on a playlist - that isn't to say there's not songs on MANY of their other LPs and EPs I love, but there's nothing before 1989 here. These are my Meat Puppets go-to LPs. To me, all perfect but one, which is close. In chronological order,
*Monsters (perfect)
*Forbidden Places (perfect)
*Too High to Die (perfect)
*No Joke! (perfect minus a song or two I don't like)
*Sewn Together (perfect)
*Lollipop (perfect)
*Rat Farm (perfect)
*Dusty Notes (perfect)
And this is a 17 song playlist with a lot of my favorites, too - pretty much all from those albums: https://youtu.be/ZLAnAnXziok
Real talk w/ Billy Strings on Marc Maron's WTF pod. They covered a lot of ground including tearjerkers from Billy's childhood, his musical journey from bluegrass to metal to open improv, why he stopped drinking (was anyone at that RJ Rockers gig?), and the new record "Highway Prayers". He brought his guitar too. #BillyStrings#bluegrass#WTF
Here's my capture of Béla Fleck: Rhythm, Raga & Rhapsody from last night at Carnegie Hall. Nothing fancy, just another Pixel internal mic recording. Nevertheless a proper souvenir from one of the best nights of music ever.
It may not seem like it now, but during their time, the #SeldomScene were a groundbreaking #bluegrass act. Their willingness to cover rock songs and contemporary material was antithetical to the bluegrass gatekeepers of the time.
They also kept their day jobs. "Seldom Scene" was coined because at first they only played once a week and didn’t stray too far from their Washington D.C. home base.
Their influence on later bands and newgrass in general is undeniable.
Some of my favorite Alison Krauss songs, listed below. 💜
"On November 21, 2019, she was awarded the National Medal of Arts. She was inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame in September 2021"
This is my ‘Folk and Bluegrass’ playlist on my personal YouTube channel. I curate the playlist, with 263 live music videos at least weekly. It’s one the biggest #playlists of the nineteen I curate on my channel. I’ve collected these #MusicVideos for over a decade, and without being too immodest I think I did a damn good job. You can hit this playlist, sit back and enjoy for hours, days even. Or just keep it on in the background on shuffle. My gift to you. BTW, if you’re not already spending the $18.99/month (USD) for YouTube premium, you’re missing out. I’d get rid of all my other streaming subs, including Netflix & Prime, before I’d part with my #YouTubePremium - Just sayin. #FolkMusic#Bluegrass#Music#Fiddle#Banjo#Guitar#Mandolin
