My fav PJ accoustic-

F,in GnR, enjoyπŸ˜‰

Classic rock.

Dredging up the oldies but goodies, especially best organ and guitar solos.
Obscure names like Uriah Heep, Mountain, King Crimson + the most familiar classic rock bands from the 70's and late 60's.
Ahhhhh......Tubular Bells.

My youngest is leaving the nest.... graduated from college back in May, leaves tomorrow for Vancouver, WA. She and her boyfriend will be leaving early tomorrow morning to start their lives on their own. She's got a good job lined up and they'll figure everything out in due time.

It's been an evening of reflection and perspective. So proud of her. And at the same time, a bit sad. πŸ™

    I believe if we'd all get together with some of our "tunes", some beverages, and a cigar here and there then, there would be both peace on both Golfbuzz and the earth. Tunes are a deal-breaking common ground.

    Brian Mcknight is one of my all-time favs. Tremendous keyboard/pianist, even greater vocals. Last year he filmed this from his house, a tribute to Whitney Houston. No music studio equipment designed to clean up the vocals, just raw and unfiltered. Been very fortunate to enjoy some of his musical transitions into the smooth jazz genre in recent years in duets with some of my favorite smooth jazz artists. The range of his vocals is amazing.

    Harry Chapin.........his concert was the best one I ever attended. It was held in a classical stage theater, think Ford Theater where Booth shot Pres Lincoln.

    He came out into the audience while performing and afterwards was in the lobby just hanging out with us.

    Unfortunate car crash ending in his VW Rabbit.

      Oddly enough, just two days ago (July 16th) marked 37 years ago to the day when he passed away on the Long Island Expressway, dead at the age of 38.

      And he was on his way to perform at a free concert that evening.

      That you were privileged to see him perform live in concert, I'm sure, is special in its own right. πŸ‘

      PA-PLAYA - Michael Murphey is a genuine country gentleman. One of my wife's employees (medical technologist by day- cowboy at night / on weekends) retired and we went to the party early to help set up. Her employee was also there early with his wife and a friend. His friend comes up to me and starts talking about random things, couldn't have been nicer, and I have no idea yet who he was. The retiree comes up and mentions that my wife and I are VIP sponsors of the upcoming Symphony in the Flint Hills fundraiser and he said how much he appreciates our support for this worthwhile cause (native lands and prairie preservation).

      Michael pulls out his guitar after we eat, starts singing, and I instantly then know who he is. Turns out he was the featured guest artist playing with the Kansas City Symphony at an outdoor concert a couple of months after this party, and as sponsors, we were gifted with another private performance after the event. It's pretty neat when a 'star' has no airs or sense of entitlement.

        What a great story.... in these days of Instagram/Social Media and instant gratification - it's refreshing to know that some of the old-school song writers/musicians still have a prominent following without all of the hoopla.

        If you're that good - you don't need that social media shit, contrary to what the younger generation might otherwise suggest. Talent is talent, yesterday and today.

        This guy is getting better with age. Smooth jazz/R&B at its best.
