Just got the computer back from Dell, reinstalling all the software I wiped when I sent it out.

Currently listening to Marilyn Manson - The Love Song. Song before it was Motorhead - Ace of Spades, next one on deck in iTunes is Seek and Destroy - Metallica.

That's cool. I knew a group of guys that collected recordings of artists renditions of Hey Joe. I forgot exactly how many artists recordings they had collected but I do know it was over 250.

Just got back from seeing John McLaughlin and Jimmy Herring at the Vic. It wasn't like the old Mahavishnu Orchestra as I was hoping, but it was very good.

In Concert, Disc 1

Before VCRs, MTV, cable television, the Internet, DVRs, YouTube, etc., you had to actually watch TV programs when they were scheduled to air. Back in the middle-ish '70s, the ABC network started a Friday night, taped live performances of popular musical acts, show. It was simply called "In Concert." I often planned my night around the show and watched many of them. A few years ago, I came across some bit torrents of these shows, downloaded them and put together 3 discs of my favorite artists and shows. Although I haven't listened to these in a few years, tonight was Disc 1's chance to relive those long ago Fridays. The artists on this disc:

Jim Croce
Doobie Brothers
B.B. King
Mahavishnu Orchestra
J. Geils Band
Albert King
Dr. John

Oh, to be 18 again....
J. Geils Damm I forgot all about them. Ty Conan
