My New Avatar says it all
House of Blues "Paint it Blue" plays the music of the Rolling Stones.
On the front cover it says "This Ain't No Tribute!" and it Ain't.
As I understand it, normally tribute albums have little known or lesser known artists doing covers of famous artist's music in a near perfect rendition as a "tribute". This is not that, this is FUN!!!! This is FUNKY!!!! This is hot damn music making!!!!
One listen to Taj Mahal singing "Honky Tonk Women", or Luther Alllison "You Can't Always Get What You Want" or Junior Wells "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" and I believe you too will be hooked.

On another note, watching Patricia Arquette for the first time on CSI:Cyber. In synth surround sound, still sounds pretty good and she is a GOOD actress. Interesting premise, I think the CSI Megaminds have another hit on their hands, formula still works.

Happy Listening boys and girls,
God Bless,

A softer morning. One of my all time favorites.

Pay for play: What Jimi Hendrix and (almost) every performer at Woodstock was paid



Most rock fans know which bands distinguished themselves at the Woodstock festival, properly styled the “Woodstock Music & Art Fair,” in August 1969—Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin, CSNY—but less well known are the various fees that producers John Roberts and Joel Rosenman paid to each individual artist. By that reckoning, Santana was a bargain and Blood, Sweat & Tears might have been just a touch overpaid, no offense to that fine combo.

UltimateGuitar.com found this great chart—it lists the fees for every act with the exception of Bert Sommer and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band:




Here’s the full chart, with 2015 equivalents listed in parenthses. For reference, $1 in 1969 is worth the same as $6.37 in 2015 dollars. The entire collection of talent cost $140,700 in 1969, which comes to $895,982.97 today. Whoever decided to fork over $1,375 to compensate Joe Cocker for his time made a very, very good decision.

1. Jimi Hendrix: $18,000 ($115,000)

2. Blood, Sweat and Tears: $15,000 ($95,000)

Here’s Hendrix’s Woodstock set, for your enjoyment. By the way, if anyone tells you that they saw Hendrix at Woodstock, they’re probably lying. The festival attracted in the neighborhood of 400,000 people, but Hendrix played early on Monday morning, and by that time almost the entire audience had left.










Such an exquisite album....Samite is the artist, Stars to share is the album. A worthy album purchase ...there are no bad songs.
