Dear Feleven (fellow eleventilicousites)
I was never very good with following directions or working with time constraints!
My sincerest apologies in not getting the 4/20 approved version of eleventilicous out on time.
Some
unforeseen professional and personal obligations have severely
restricted my creative output in recent weeks, but hope to be back to
full speed shortly-official CD to follow!
In the meantime please accept this video extra credit assignment; I hope you find it worth your time!
If you do not have broadband let me know and I will
try and send a DVD version w the CD

For anyone who thinks Jerry Reed was the Bandit's sidekick in the movie and Chet Atkins is a guitar style
(both
true) this should be an eye opener. If you know them already it will
make you smile!!! You could spend most of the week finding Chet vidoes
worth watching, and Jerry Reed also a CGP is a national treasure!

Trying
to find
the Foo Fighters live cover of this song on you tube led me to
realization that more people on you tune think this is a cover of Dave
Grohl and Paul McCartney's 1st band was Wings......still the sax and
guitar solos are era defining

if
you ever wondered whether the Stones' "Greatest Band in the World" was
an honorific or a title, I offer this into evidence. These guys
grooooooooove and Ronnie can actually play guitar when he tries.......

on the other hand, they were SOOO awesomely CAMPY or more evidence or whatEVER
and
this was wayyy before product placement bet Mick wishes he had thought
to have a Mr John Daniels cut the check...."that's a joke son, when
you've known hom as long as I have....."

Jeff Beck is the greatest living guitar player and he is the conversation for top 3 all time
y'all are encouraged to retort!!!

ohmigoodgod....Prince
absolutely
rips it up here-check out Dhani Harrison's astonished grin and the
literal throwaway at the end....if you have never seen Prince you are
missing out big time..I took a metal head loving musician friend of mone
to see him a few years back on general principles (and at his wife's
insistence) and Prince opened the 2nd set with a blistering 20 minute
version of Whole Lotta Love that had every jaw in the place on the
floor....still in his top 5 all time

Mr Underrated showing off again.......
another underrated group of misfits the Crowes are retro and derivative and cover Led Zep almost as well as the Purple One
Rick
was my guitar teacher way back when, he was also in Knots and Crosses a
90s folk rock band in Boston that had the most requested song ever on
the local AOR station 92.9. They signed w Island record right
before a bunch of power struggles and after the lead singers divorced
that was that. They were their very own version of Richard and Linda
Thompson;s Shoot out the Lights which is odd because that was the
band's muse form the get go. Talk about form following function.....

Victor is the Man!! but you knew that!!!
ok so here is a bonus...Roger is a VERY smart tech guy from Silicon Valley by way of Yale
Yale
had him back to teach a master class and have his band Moonalice play a
show. This will link you to both if you click the launch video on the
left side-might have to click it more than once if it hangs up on you.
If
you are into the internet or music distribution or marketing or tech or
old hippie rock stars or thinking--spend the time and watch the
video-the slide deck is downloadable for free as well directions in the
comments section
Pete Sears of Jefferson Starship is in the
band as well as John Molo and Barry Sless, two Jam Band pro's who are a
true joy to watch.........................
Enjoy and let me know what you think!!!
Thanks for all the great music!!
Ours go to 11....
Wow, interesting theme, guitar gods are in the mail!
