One more bit of "spring cleaning". (I know, I'm off-season for this hemisphere, but it's 'catch-up time'!
Be it snow or rain, nourishment and life, or floods... A tribute, and a long-time favorite, re-visited. Check out the guitar & bass duet.

From the band whose name was shouted out constantly, at concerts by most anyone, circa early 70's through the decade & beyond.

"Hot Tuna!"

Water Song

🎧 Listen with headphones or decent speakers - HQ and quite a delicate interplay, guitar and bass

My teeth are chattering now, here in the (sometime) semi-tropics... Brrrr.... Yes, it sure feels...

Cold, Cold, Cold!

Cold, cold, cold
Cold, cold, cold
Freezing, it was freezing in that hotel
I had no money, my special friend was gone
The TV set was busted so she went along
I called room, room service,
I'm down here on my knees
A peach or a pear, or some Charlie
But they was cold

Or a dime to make a call
'Cause it passed me up, or it passed me by,
Or I couldn't decide at all
And I'm mixed up, I'm so mixed up
Don't you know I'm lonely
And I wish the world would get off of my case
And get on one of its own

Cold, cold, cold
Cold, cold, cold
That woman was freezing, freezing cold
Well I tried everything to warm her up
Now I'm living in this cold hotel
'Cause she passed me, up or she passed me by,
Or I couldn't decide at all

Oh I'm mixed up, yes I'm mixed up
Don't you know I'm lonely
Of all the things I had to do
I had to fall in love
You know she's cold

Turn your clock back woman when you see me comin' round
My feet don't, feet don't even touch the ground
don't be cold, don't be cold
don't be cold, don't be cold

Up top of a new post....

One of my very favorite bands and a favorite song of theirs, following some reading and posting about The Band, The Last Waltz, and comments/discussions regarding both the cut-throat rivalries over writing credits and royalties as well as issues of drug abuse, sometimes to the point of overdose &/or suicide.

'It's those rock and roll hours, early graves without flowers..." - Little Feat/Skin It Back

Listen loud &/or earphones - they were one of the premier bands who were masters of studio recording, and Lowell George played a mean slide guitar (the whole band was razor-sharp tight). 🎧

Skin It Back" - Little Feat/Skin It Back

Well I'm waitin' for something to take place
Something to take me away from this race
'Round city to city, town to town
Runnin' around in the shoes of a clown
And that desperate, no count, desperado
A thief of love, my business is the street
I be shakin' 'em down
In old Colorado
Texas she's nice, but Georgia's oh so sweet
Steal away with me darlin' your lovin' just can't be beat
So it seems that the world keeps on turnin' but so what
I don't doubt it, it just keeps on the move
You're a dream, and that's all that I ask for
So well now, I'm wonderin' just how I'm gonna tell it to you
Skin it back (skin it back)
Somethin' real, somethin' to feel
I can't find a soul who'll take on this mess
It's those rock and roll hours, early graves without flowers
Please, please darlin' put my mind at rest
I'm beggin' please darlin' put my mind at rest
So it seems that the world keeps on turnin' but so what
I don't doubt it, it just keeps on the move
You're a dream, and that's all that I ask for
So well now, I'm wonderin' just how I'm gonna tell it to you
Skin it back tell it to you
Skin it back tell it to you
Skin it back tell it to you
Skin it back tell it to you

Strong recommend, background &/or close listening, especially but not only for anyone familiar with The Who, and "Tommy".

TOMMY: The Movie (1975) - Sound-track - Part 1 / Vinyl LP Sides 1 & 2

This is the sound-track from a movie made from the "Rock Opera", Tommy. Some are sung, many are all-instrumental, so it's wonderful background music, even if you don't know the album (or band!) - but for fans or the interested in an amazing journey....

I haven't heard this in years; did a radio show and made a tape with a chunk of this. Who? Yes. No, Who. Who's on first... πŸ™€

This is one of very few Fleetwood Mac covers which I really love. The song is "Dreams"

When Someone Yells Fleetwood Mac and This Singer Steals the Show

Guitarist/sampler is quite good too. Together, for 2 people live - awfully good, and perfect for a small outdoors concert.

Thank you if it was you who posted about this duo! I saw a post about the singer, Katie Lowe, ('here' or Mastodon, I think), and immediately lit up, seeing the location(s) - a favorite spot, a little 'artists' enclave', "Towles Court", with studios and little bungalows, in Sarasota, FL. (March 2021). There's a link to this earlier performance in the YT description (and below).

The same poster shared a second vid (this), same song, different day - in July '21 now - at another longtime magical & favorite spot: St. Armand's Circle - beginning with a new rhythm sampling & set-up after taking the request, drums & rhythm track, and off these two go, just the two of them doing one fine 2-person Fleetwood Mac cover.

So, two to choose from: March & July2021 version, both at the height of COVID BTW, but hey ... "this is Florida!".

March 2021 (Kate & Sean): https://youtu.be/di5-pI48Oh4
Original (Fleetwood Mac - Dreams - with lyrics): https://youtu.be/5PWT2vOimDY

Quite nice, a live concert from way back when, on BBC, with the wonderful band #Focus
I saw them live at Paradiso in Amsterdam, and many 'here' (US) may have at least known of them from their hit song (with yodeling) "Hocus Pocus". This here is 23 minutes, and mostly "easy listening" though they can grow intense & layered. Nice background music &/or you can watch them perform.

Focus - Hamburger Concerto - Live BBC TV 1975 (Remastered)

Tnx ralphyboy...
