Jing-a-di-jing hee haw hee haw …  

 

Well it’s that time of year and it was just on the radio 😂

Here's me playing at the open mic.

Not the best version, it was my first time playing the full song as I learned it earlier that night.

 

 

Keep pickin' BoomStick! Appreciate your post! Doc Watson was awesome! Do you perform any Norman Blake songs? Another favorite of mine as well as Earl Scruggs. Good stuff!

 

Some buddies of mine have their own podcast and just recently some guys right down the street from here recorded a brand new song for the show in their garage and have all the fans hollering "AI" but its not. This one is the real deal just thrown together by some local musicians playing in their garage after work. We call them weekend warriors. Pretty cool new song too. Some think it could be a hit if it got some radio airplay. I hope some of you will enjoy this new song.

 

"The Roadie Song was written for the Stoned Roadie Show to support the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash survivors. The song is about Lynyrd Skynyrd Roadie Craig Reed and His Co-host Griff Martin from the Stoned Roadie Morning Show Wake and Bake in the morning. Craig and his Co-host Griff bring guests on the show that are mostly friends of the original band members and talk about their past experience with the band. Guests include plane crash survivors past stage hands and roadies along with fellow musicians that share interesting stories from the early days of Skynyrd most people have never heard."

I do play Church Street Blues in the style of Tony Rice. There is a fairly noisy clip of that on my channel on under shorts as well from a gig last month.

 

I play something like 5 Doc Watson songs and I just need to learn the words and work out kinks to Deep Water Blues and it'll be 6.

Nice work @Boomstick! 

 

🎶 who’s that fella brown 🎶 

 

I know all the words to any doc Watson if you need a singer 🤣 

 

Deep river blues is awesome, my favorite line from that one is 

 

🎶 she walks like a waterfowl 🎶 hahahah

I'd like to hear him try this one!

 

I guess there is something new under the sun after all!

 

Whistling Artist Ralph Giese Impressively Covers Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Massive “Freebird” Guitar Solo
Dec 6, 2025

The exceptionally talented Ralph Giese has tackled the famously difficult guitar solo from the classic Lynyrd Skynyrd track “Free Bird.” Giese performed an impressive whistle cover of the entire solo, which runs for almost four minutes. His unique technique involves whistling with his tongue, allowing him to enunciate notes more clearly than traditional mouth whistling.

I haven't learned taking water, but that's definitely something I could do. I do play Stratosphere Blues - I Believe In You as part of my set as well as Sitting on Top of the World as played by Billy Strings.

 

Once I'm done learning Christmas songs, I'm going to work on Molly Tuttle's San Joaquin next.

My Ride or Die by Doc Raven.

Could be AI not really sure.

But I like it either way.

I kind of like it. I could listen to this while working on something for sure.

 

Found this song in a Youtube music rotation. Not sure I like anything else of his but I do like his voice for this one.

It's like pop-punk metal meets folk metal or something. Not really my thing, but he has a voice that is fitting for it for sure.

Here's me at the open mic on Wednesday!

 

 

 

^hell yeah @Boomstick! 

Here’s one for you @TnRiver46

 

Good stuff Mike!

I like it!

Better than coffee?

At 5AM, I decided I wanted some Middle Eastern Prog Metal with breakfast. So, I told Alexa to play some music by 'Orphaned Land'. E.G.,:

What I got instead was Hourglass, by Orphan. Nothing like a little deathcore to get your blood pumping first thing in the morning.

Interesting, I’ll give it a 8.

heard this at a wedding this past week, kinda catchy.

I just heard this song yesterday, and it got to me. Reminds me a lot of how I grew up…

Just saw little feat at the TN theater, they were amazing!!!

Great song Mike! And Little Feat is one of those bands who can still play and record great rock music as they age. They are still producing great sounding studio albums in their 70's. I have their newest albums on my playlists now. Great band!

I've been following a young band out of Jacksonville, Florida called Fortune Child. Just three friends who put their own band together and do things their way.

They make it a point to not try and follow in past music styles that are historic to Jacksonville area like Southern rock genre. This band says they want to be different while at the same time still being true to their roots in blues and classic rock music while not getting pigeonholed as another Skynyrd knock off.

One of the interesting things each band member does is study and research past music history and band music history, so not just the music, but the band's histories as well, and their influences behind the creation of classic rock music we all know and love.

The point is, these young guys are in their early to mid 20's and very serious about producing rock music today influenced and literally sourced in the 1970's classic rock style. Who says rock music is dead?

And right now this band is writing new songs at a furious pace and recording many of them live in the studio as is the case with this latest song I hope some of you might enjoy hearing- and knowing that these young guys are trying to keep classic rock alive.

Two of these band members are fishermen and one of them is a serious bass fisherman. I wonder if that makes the music even better?

👆 8.5, half point bonus for telecaster use.

Funny thing - their ex-drummer Steve Gorman is the morning host on KQRS - a local station here.

So he's a beat reporter?

Hey! It was there! I had to do it!
