I am assured to see npr music and Paul McCartney teaming up to give a first listen to the entire recording of Kisses on the Bottom. Just yesterday I posted about Paul McCartney’s forthcoming classic songbook work. Now we can all listen to it before it’s available on February 6, 2012.
We can do it, just me and you
TGIF and I’ve got “Friday on My Mind” by The Easybeats.
Did you know The Easybeats were from Australia? All these years I thought they were an English group. Go figure.
“Friday on My Mind” was voted the “Best Australian Song” of all time by the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) as determined by a panel of 100 music industry personalities.[3][4]
It was a privilege to witness Todd Rundgren and his band live in concert last night at Infinity Hall in the beautiful hills of Northwestern Connecticut. The mountain night air was a pleasurably cool 65 degrees added to with a slight breeze.
Rosemary and I had another marvelous meal at the Infinity Bistro. You owe it to yourself to dine there before the show, the food is top notch. We took our usual seats in the mezzanine overlooking the concert hall and stage.
This 300 seat venue has great acoustics. The sold out audience was filled with devout Todd Rundgren fans, many of whom knew each other, which added to the ambiance of the evening
Todd suffered from a head cold due to air conditioning exposure but like the wizard and true star he is he soldiered on admirably with a well structured two hour performance.
Todd was very animated, dancing and jumping about. I enjoyed his guitar work.

I first learned of Rickie Lee Jones at a Warner\Elektra\Asylum party held at their sales office in Connecticut one evening in 1979. When I walked in there she was on the large video screen singing this song and I was immediately hooked on her bohemian cool.
Rickie Lee Jones’s modern muse is calling me again as I listen with a renewed sense of purpose to her auspicious body of work. I am taken with her mystical voice as it swirls thoughtful sensibilities about my head. I have gained an appreciation for Balm in Gilead her latest studio recording (2009).
Rickie Lee Jones chose Stockholm as the location for her live concert filming. I sense a warm energy surrounding this performance. The unique setting is the historic and regal Berns Salonger, built in 1862. It is an impressive setting amidst massive crystal chandeliers, gilded walls, and paintings of Swedish royalty. Live in Stockholm is available for pre-order here.
