    Great show so far! Could you play “Look-Ka Py Py” from the album of the same title by the Meters or maybe “Nardis” as Harvie Swartz covered it on In A Different Light. He’s got Scofield playing with him on that track but it may be a little long coming in at 6:21.

      well, I can try to do an edit or just let my time limit rule loosen up a bit for one song. Thanks

    I’m glad you liked and played Y La Bamba. As for what to play next week, a friend of mine shared with me a good song called “Huff + Puff” by Just A Band.

    OK, the references to Mac the Knife led me to this:
    Screamin’ Jayhawks: I’ve got You under my Skin
    http://www.amazon.com/Ive-Got-You-Under-Skin/dp/B001TOF57O/ref=sr_1_137?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1335147727&sr=1-137

    It’s a Sinatra thing, just that I must have stepped on the distortion pedal a wee bit.

    I don’t know if there is even a recording but I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to hear a song that is about a cup of coffee, a sandwich and you. The song was in a beautiful movie- “Margie” (1946).

    Hi Paul, it’s been a while since I got on the blog with a suggestion, but I try to catch your show as often as possible. One of the tracks you played tonight reminded me of something I had heard years ago – no it wasn’t Stan Kenton, but that was pretty cool, too. Anyway, what I had in mind was a number from an old film score. Not from the original movie – it was made before “talkies”. But George Moroder found an old copy of Metrpolis, colorized it and added a soundtrack done by several of the current hit musicians of the time. One of the tracks was “Love Kills” by the late, great Freddie Mercury from Queen. Could you see if you can possibly dig this one up? Thanks, , ,

    Which band played the song you described as sounding like the black keys and edward sharpe?

  • Arnold G

    Love the show – very diverse and interesting mix of music.
    Two suggestions:
    Paul Thorn – He will be playing the Kessler Theater on May 18th. I really enjoy his acoustic music but it’s all good.
    Daniel Market – A folk singer/songwriter from Indiana. Thoughtfully crafted songs with a deep meaning and occasional humor. One of his albums is available on Amazon. I have the rest if you need a copy.

    Paul, missed the show, because I was working at the Fort Worth Arts Festival, but I had a chance to catch Craig Chaquico (formerly Jefferson Starship)and he was was really amazing.
