Star and Micey on Audiotree Live (2013)

mqdefault.jpeg

I don’t know if you know Memphis’ Star and Micey, but you should. I posted their song ‘So Much Pain’ as part of the Musical Worldview Project and also included the track on Volume 03 of the Musical Worldview Project Playlist.

The Youtube page only provides the following information: “(ARCHIVE RELEASE) Star & Micey perform on Audiotree Live, June 5, 2013.” That’s not a lot to go on, except for your trust in me as your musical guide. Let me guide you to Star & Micey.


Setlist:

  1. Love Me?

  2. #1

  3. So Much Pain

  4. I Can't Wait

  5. Everything

  6. Jesus & The Devil

  7. Tiger

Khaira Arby Live For the Tiny Desk

khairaarby853_wide-6c0e24cc121cbb02cda660b8b0da4cfb002772e3.jpeg

I’ve been listening to the new live Khaira Arby album and I’ll tell you what: I’m a fan.

So here’s her 2011 Tiny Desk set for NPR.

If you’re not yet familiar with her, Khaira Arby is something known as “The Nightingale of Timbuktu,” while NPR calls her “the queen of desert rock.” Whatever you call her, her musical influence cannot be denied.

According to Wikipedia, “She began singing at a young age for weddings and traditional festivals, and at the age of eleven, began singing in a musical troupe from the city of Timbuktu.” Even after facing family pressure from her father and husband to abandon music, Arby persisted. And we are thankful.


Setlist:

  1. Salou

  2. Cinquantenaire

  3. Goumou



Can Live In Paris :: Bataclan (1973)

The Freeform Family Dinner Radioshow (04) :: A Holiday At The Sea Playlist

I have this playlist on my laptop called “Mix: Home Listening.” It’s currently at 1,331 songs. When our family is just hanging around the house, or especially when Kristi and I cook, we put that playlist on shuffle and just hope for the best. Well, not really, since everything in that playlist is hand-picked.

There are some evenings when my wife and I will look at each other and just wish we could have that same mix of music that just came up to enjoy later on. So, some time ago, I started keeping track of some of the evenings we really liked and I started making mixes of them for the car or just to re-play. We don’t replay them often, but since I have several of them, I thought: why not share them with my Holiday at the Sea online friends and family.

I do pick the first song but from then on out, it’s all shuffle. We’ve been making these mixes about an hour to an hour-and-a-half since that’s what will fit on a blank CD. So, it has to be on shuffle and play good songs for at least an hour. If I skip a song, then the whole mix is thrown out.

I’m not sure how many of these mixes I will end up posting, but I’ve got several ready to go, so I figured that now is as good a time as any. I hope you enjoy and that these songs accompany as many good family times for you as they have for us.

Enjoy.

Billy and the Kids :: Grateful Mahalo

GRATEFUL-MAHALO-POSTER-MAIN-EDITION-COMP_960x.jpeg

You know what they say: “Don’t read the books if you don’t want to know.”

OK, I’ve never heard anyone actually say that, but I’ve been reading a lot of Grateful Dead material lately. I read Phil Lesh’s book, then Billy’s book, and now I’m reading Garcia: An American Life. Anyway, Billy’s book left me conflicted. On one hand, you read the book to hear the thoughts of the people involved, and then sometimes you’re sorry you did.

But whatever I may have thought of the book of the personality Billy projected through it, he has been behind the drumkit for some of my most favorite music ever. Bill Kreutzmann recently celebrated his 75th birthday with a string of three live-streamed show with his band Billy and the Kids. Two of those shows have appeared at the Live Music Archive and are definitely worth your time and I wish him nothing but the best and I wish everyday was Bill Kreutzmann’s birthday, because all of this is great.

As if Billy on drums, Reed Mathis on bass and Billy Strings wasn’t enough, how about saxophone?! No? Still not enough? How about appearances from Santana?! If that’s not enough, you’re in the wrong place. Anyway, here’s the two live sets from the Archive and some videos that I’ve been hanging out with.

Billy and the Kids (05/07/21):
