My New Musical Obsession--Who's yours?

[Lulu Latech]

Who are you listening to?

[Indykatie]

1. I'm Currently Obsessed with Haevn's Music

It was hard to select one song to share since there are so many I love. I can listen to their music for hours on end.

[Lulu Latech]

2. Ooooooh Yes!

So lovely! Thanks for that......and another new voice to explore.

[Indykatie]

3. They Have an Entire CD of their Performances With this Symphony. Here's Another Favorite.

[Redleg]

4. The Who's mine

An oldie but goody.

[Brother Buzz]

5. I'm deep into the weeds chasing down Blues, Roots, and Americana music

Seems like Ry Cooder is plugged into it at every turn

[VGNonly]

7. Ry Cooder with the great Clarence White

[Brother Buzz]

9. It's no mystery why two masters of the strings would be drawn to each other

Like I suggested, Ry Cooder turned up, like, everywhere. Thanks for that!

OK, Mr Trivia Wizard, Clarence White had two famous guitars; a mystery Martin of mythical proportions, and a Fender Stratocaster with the Parsons/White G-Bender. Can you name the two musicians who ended up with them?

[VGNonly]

11. The Martin D-28 Tony Rice

The B-Bender Marty Stuart

The B-Bender was a Telecaster, not a Strat.

RIP Clarence White

[Brother Buzz]

13. Again, you're good. Clarence White played that oddball D-28 on The Andy Griffith Show

while Andy Griffith played his favorite, a Martin D-18.

In other episodes, Andy Griffith played another D-18, an unbranded one with no pickguard. Do you know the cool story behind it?

[VGNonly]

14. I'm guessing that his D-18

was a prototype or perhaps a stripped down version...?

[Brother Buzz]

16. Stripped down, yes

That was Lonesome Rhodes' rhinestone studded guitar from the film, A Face in the Crowd. Andy Griffith 'borrowed' it after the filming wrapped up; he spent days sanding it down (it was painted before the rhinestones were glued on), then had it professionally finished.

6. Tatiana Parra

8. Greta Van Fleet

12. You beat me to it!

I was going to post Meeting the Master! What a great song. They are great. They are from Michigan so that is kind of special.

They will be in Detroit on September 8,2023 Little Caesars Arena.

[Initech]

17. I saw them at Honda Center on March 24th.

That show was absolutely amazing. They played a good 2 1/2 hours and the encore was easily over 30 minutes. I'm going to see them again when they hit the Forum on August 10th. GVF is definitely heading for legendary status!

[rogerballard]

18. Lucky you!

I just found out about the tour, I wish I could afford to go. I got tickets for Duran Duran for Saturday, September 26th in Detroit, who knows I might have to splurge lol

[Initech]

19. Ooh, I had no idea Duran Duran was touring.

I know Tears For Fears are touring and I'm definitely trying to hit their Hollywood Bowl show. Too many shows, not enough time or money!

[rogerballard]

20. Time and Money is key

Madonna and Depeche Mode have concerts in Michigan this year.

[Initech]

21. Yes, I'm going to see Depeche Mode in December! Can't wait!

[rogerballard]

22. How awesome is that...

very nice! Enjoy (the silence)

15. Since listening to a Garth Brooks DVD a couple of nights ago ...

now some of his tunes pop into my head out of nowhere.
