Peggy & Jo Jo ≈ Lover's Holiday
[Click to View YouTube Video]
Jo-Jo Benson, a local hero, passed away Dec 23 in a motel room. He was part of Muddy Water's & Smokey Robinson's sound before pairing shortly with Peggy Scott. Lover's Holiday was a million $ record for him in the late 60's. You couldn't go anywhere in town w/o seeing the name of the duo.

i watched Charlie Rose on PBS last night, interviewing Idina Menzel; Annie Lennox; Neil Young; and John Mellencamp, all good, esp. this performance by Mellencamp.

Ed was the timing of your post in any way due to the eagle that was found,
shot dead in Connecticut? in late November?
The locals refused to admit that some one had shot a bald eagle.
When the cause of death was said to be inconclusive . . .
A hoard of us conservationist tree hunger types,
Independent of one another, called foul!
We insisted that the environmental cops do the job they are sworn to do.
The body of the great bird was sent to Iowa (Why?) where it was immediately
determined that the death was from a gunshot.
if not it was a strange Sinchopation the title, the crew, an
All American who's who of folk in most song books.

Miss Nita, that was a long time ago...
there were only two albums, Earth Opera and The Great American Eagle Tragedy... of course they featured the rather idiosyncratic lyrics of Peter Rowan, either so odd or too much a part of that time to have much lasting interest... I have both of those albums in vinyl and just ripped TGAET to digital... that one track seemed to hold up (though I like aspects of both albums).
Earth Opera disbanded because they were not selling... but Rowan and Grissom went on to have interesting careers, pursuing a part of what is hinted at in the Earth Opera recordings...

Beware of Mr. Baker, indeed!

Cream wasn't a trio, it was a sextet, considering the fact that Mr. Baker is by his lonesome a quartet of percussionists. Each appendage of him is an individual musician playing jazz, rock, African and blues rhythms.

^^ ha ha f*#kin Ginger. what a stubborn old contrarian with those rivets in the ride cymbal, the upside down mounted china cymbal and the differently sized bass drums. guy is a fricken beast. i'm not really into drum solos (and i'm a drummer!) but that was really nice. some drummers use a solo as an excuse to show off their crazy chops but it's cool to see a solo where they emphasize rhythm and groove. i heard a bit of bonzo in that :)

coolrock, i have an equal tolerance for drum breaks.
GB brought the double bass set-up to rock; which hadn't been used since big jazz band days. i never noticed the different sizes until you pointed it out.

I don't recall Duane (neither of them) ever doing this one.
It was Viola Lee Blues by Ry Cooder you have to watch it on utube
Here's another seldom seen Ry show for all you Cooderettes.

zb, i'm always up for a Cooder concert, they all played real good. and for me, it was free. I wonder how long it will stay up on youtube?
Viola Lee Blues, Minglewood Blues and Big Railroad Blues were all penned by by Noah Lewis, who died of something green, as opposed to the blues.
Ry's cover for the Crossroads Soundtrack, is more akin to Noah's style than the one by the Grateful Dead.
I emailed Mr. Cooder about the possibility of him re-releasing his live show at Santa Cruz and his spokesperson replied that "it was highly unlikely because it is not a favorite of Mr. Cooder's".
