The 31st Annual Dallas International Guitar Festival and MusicFest was awesome, as usual. We saw some new things this year, like Trillium’s new tube guitar amps. The design and cabinetry caught my eye, and their great tone caught my ears, so I stopped to chat. Scott told me this is Trillium’s [...]

October 7, 1976, is a Thursday. At last night’s second Ford/Carter debate, President Ford said there is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe. Today, Ford’s campaign unveils a new ad touting the president’s biography. Hua Kuo-Feng is named chairman of the Chinese Communist Party Central Committee, succeeding Mao Tse-Tung, who died last month. In a meeting with the foreign minister of Argentina, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger gives indications that the United States will not oppose Argentina

"HITMAN, David Foster & Friends" CD/DVD will be released on November 11, 2008 by Warner Bros. The event was the star-studded David Foster & Friends concert held Frisday, May 23 at the Mandalay Bay Event Center. It was an almost fourhour musical extravaganza that featured tour de force performances from Foster's friends such as Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Michael Buble, Katharine McPhee, Charice, Renee Olstead, Peter Cetera, Brian McKnight, Babyface and Boz Scaggs. The David Foster Official b
I know that I have all ready published a similar list that came from EW. But it would be genuinely wrong of me not to post this one for the benefit of my beloved readership. This particular compilation from ROLLING STONE is a list of the 50 biggest and most anticipated CDS of the fall. Some of them came as a complete surprise to me. I had no idea that they were due. I think it’s of prime importance that everyone knows precisely what’s going on in terms of the current music scene. Release dates
In Texas. Points if you can name the song the post title is from. Boz Scaggs recorded my favorite version. Anyway, I’m here and alive, and making arrangements with and for Mom. This is going great, and you folks’ help is an amazing blessing! *Update*: Cosmic got the title, but Boyd correctly identified the original artist and songwriter, Jimmie Rodgers. I was actually feeling like that song before I left, but not anymore, except the part about Texas Anyway, here’s a neat modern cover o
Exclusive footage of a dope smoking Malcolm Turnbull revealed here for the first time. Annabel Crabb's Saturday column, Weekend edition September 27-28 page 12, as it offers a rich palette of colourful little sketches and anecdotes throws up many pictorial possibilities. It would however be criminal to pass up any opportunity to draw a dope smoking Malcolm Turnbull, even if the reference is only a fleeting one. Arguably it best, in the context of Annabel's column, represents this social

When Newcap's CFXL (XL103) Calgary and CKRA (96.3 Capital FM) Edmonton found a way to do Oldies/Classic Hits on FM, working within Canadian regulations that have effectively kept the format off FM in English Canada all these years, it seemed inevitable that other markets would follow suit. Last Friday, Rogers' AC CKCL (Clear 104.9) Vancouver made a foray into FM oldies as "FM104.9." FM104.9's move is interesting since its sister station is CKLG, Canada's first "Jack FM." The new station has mo
The always elegant, Grammy-award winning renowned musician, Boz Scaggs is making a significant leap from his first collection of standards, with the strong sensual edge that appears on his upcoming release, ‘Speak Low.’ Set for release on October 28th the album is being retro-fit in a style reminiscent of the relatively recent, yet postmodern past; it will first be released on vinyl. The vinyl version of the album will be available today, September 30th and all other formats will hit stores

Proof that a performer raised on the post-WWII blues of Texas can interpret Kurt Weill is found in Boz Scaggs’ recording of “Speak Low,” the title track of his second collection of standards. His breathy baritone makes his reading of Ogden Nash’s word one of the most affecting interpretations of his career – and I happen to be a huge fan of his versions of Jimmie Rodgers’ “Waiting for a Train,” Fenton Robinson’s “Loan Me a Dime” and the Platters’ final hit “Harbor Lights.” Scaggs brought in ja
[i]"loan me a dime" boz scaggs[/i] Duane Allman played on that one. Great song! He also played on Layla.
Joan Jett may love rock & roll but the Hall of Fame in Cleveland is less sure how they feel about her. Or, for that matter, about women in general. Since 1986, nearly 160* people have been inducted in the "performers" category. Of those performers, only 11 have been individual women. Including groups inducted with women (such as the Mamas and the Papas) you can add 13 to that 11 to find women represented on 24 of the nearly 160 inductees. Some may wrongly argue "25!" and, in doing so, po
Scott Feschuk Last week: 7-9 Season: 23-23-1 Scott Reid Last week: 7-9 Season: 23-23-1 SF: Let us pause and pay tribute to Matt Millen, the CEO who transformed the Detroit Lions into the Lehman Brothers of the NFL. I’m sure it stings right now, Matt, but look on the bright side: You’re still relatively young. There are so many other fields out there in which you can be awful. The best part is that news of Millen’s turfing was confirmed by Matt’s wife, Patty, who reportedly soothed her
