For the musos–and anyone interested, here is a list that you may have seen–but you may not have: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-greatest-guitarists-of-all-time-19691231
There is a small write up on each artists. And tid-bits; like Joni Mitchell’s polio.
You can start at 100 and work through–or jump through the list. There are some interesting players. Some are dead of course; and some forgotten.
You’ve probably seen it before. I knew about it, but had never looked 🙂

Thanks JL, the link looks good to me, I am a big fan of tid bits. 🙂

I have a confession to make. All of these songs and others are available in a bio-pic about Cole Porter called “De-Lovely” starring Kevin Kline as Cole.
Here’ the trailer. It sometimes turns up late at night and is well worth catching.

It’s Sade’s whole schtick really.
It’s when you hear Ella Fitzgerald singing an old classic that you remember how much voice is missing from modern songs.

Sade reminds me of afters in ‘The Plough & Barleycorn’. The landlord was an Irishman named Noel and we used to gather on a Sunday afternoon. Pubs closed at 3:00 pm then.
I saw him on my trip there recently. We had a chuckle about the old days, together with a couple of ‘old stagers’ (habitués) that used to frequent.
Yeah, Sade was on in the background. It was hypnotically played, over and over.
And over….sigh.

I have to say that Stacey Kent singing Too Darn Hot was rather cool, of course so are Diana Krall, Ella, and Julie London. Julie sings My heart belongs to Daddy beautifully.

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
