Vinyl Survival Pack

I spent part of my afternoon flipping through bins of vinyl treasure at Bop Street Records in Ballard. I decided to put together a vinyl record survival pack, a little bit of Stevie Wonder, some live Ike and Tina Turner, Gordon Lightfoot greatest hits, The Temptations, and live Crosby Stills Nash and Young.

Come on over and have a listen.

Johnny Cash

I’ve been talking a bit about Johnny Cash in my shows lately, and today is his birthday, so I figured I’d dig up a performance of his you’ve probably never seen. Johnny Cash used to have a great show on TV where the best music artists would come on and perform and often duet with him. This is a great performance of him from that show with another of my favourite artists, Gordon Lightfoot:

I’d hate to think of what music would be like if Johnny Cash hadn’t ever lived. So I won’t.

Happy Birthday, Johnny Cash, and thanks for showing us how it’s done.

Love,

SJ
