BRIAN WILSON DEATH NOTICE FROM HIS CHILDREN
Mastodon Post

Parts of my message to family and friends:

Another of my favorite stories is Brian, having been retired from touring for a very long time, doing an entire Beach Boys concert, performing as Mike Love. One might wonder whether anyone may have taped the show. It must have been the best concert ever.

When Jack Rieley died, online searches showed that a lot of people had been posting, "We love you, Brian."

Attached is the family Facebook death notice post of Brian Wilson plus my comment. Probably it will be necessary to zoom in.

It seems as though Guitar Pilgrim can put out new videos faster than I can post them. For more of his charming teaching, follow Mastodon's GuitarPilgrim hashtag.

"POWDER BLUE TRANS AM"

Powder Blue Trans Am
from You Go Your Way by Amy Correia

https://amycorreia.bandcamp.com/track/powder-blue-trans-am

Singer-songwriter Amy Correia is at her best when her voice is a little gritty and the beat picks up. "Powder Blue Trans Am" is quite good and it appears to be the most popular track on her "You Go Your Way" album.

The boyfriend trouble related to cars sub-genre is unfamiliar to me, though Correia explored it previously in the song, "He Drives It." Her latest release, an EP, is 2022's "As We Are."

For me, Amy Correia's best track - a little wacky - is "The Devil and I."

Hillside
from City Of Glass by AJ Lee & Blue Summit

https://ajleebluesummit.bandcamp.com/track/hillside

Evidently AJ Lee and Blue Summit has been around for a few years but the band is a new signing to the Signature Sounds label. Signature Sounds, for me, has had its best success, in recent times, with veteran acts. Examples include Eilen Jewell, Brennen Leigh, and Chris Smither. So, the fresh faced Blue Summit may mark a nod or even a return to the early days of Signature Sounds.

"Hillside," the teaser track available now at Bandcamp, is really encouraging. After the knowing and very pretty soloing on the verses, the density of the harmony on the chorus took me by surprise. I definitely like it. The song ends a little soon; but then again, we don't have the show biz expression, "Leave 'em wanting more," for no reason.

Five Stars for the great promise this group shows.

Grace Slick Vocals Isolated White Rabbit

Over the years, I have drifted away somewhat from the Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit." This terrific isolated Grace Slick vocal has revived my interest.
