JJ Cale--"After Midnight", the original and best version of the song.  He was a big inspiration to Eric Clapton.  It was great to see Eric Clapton give JJ Cale his due and their recent collaboration was awesome, to say the least!

Little Wing by Hendrix at the moment... Trying to work out an acoustic arrangement for it.

Found a Brit band called The Twang on MySpace Music . . .

Also, another MySpace Music find from Britain . . . Hex is an acapella trio that sings old sea shantys and traditional ballads.  Very powerful stuff!

I heard a bluegrass version of the Stones, "Start me up" and it is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!  I can't wait to see what you come up with.  <grin>  I may try an acoustic version of AC/DC's "Highway to Hell".  ;  )

I am in awe at such creativity!  That was awesome!  As Duke Ellington once said:  "If it sounds good. it IS good." 

And that was good.  For a person of my eclectic tastes that was true musicianship!

Yeah, he's even funnier and way more obnoxious now that he's on satelite radio. (Howard 101)  They keep me in a state of belly achin' laughter. Bubba and the boys are actually doing 2 shows; One on 102.5 FM morning radio( Tampa and Jacksonville 6-10am, mon-fri) and the Sirius evening drive(3-7pm mon-thur., 10-2pm on friday)

BUBBA ARMY in the Hizzy!!!

Yeah, Stern's gotten soft and spoiled by his money. He used to be real and funny but now-a-days he's a high society snob with a piss poor work ethic. My old radio friend of so many years has abandoned his loyal fans. (boo-hoo) No need to fret though, as you said, Bubba is better!

Give everything but up.

Re: What are listening to, right now!

Hooked on this song at the moment!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikzQmC3S-mE "Got to be True To Myself" Excellent song! Just found it yesterday and worked out the guitar this morning. It's easy to play but I'll be listening to it all day to get the lyrics timed correctly and memorized!  C#, G#, A#m, F# All the way through with a little riff in the chorus between the G# & A#m that goes like this...

E  ---1-4---2-1------------
A  -4-------------4---------
