Shop song of the day

Hey everybody, as most of you know, the coffee lounge went out of business, but Martin sent me a PM suggesting that I continue with the "shop song of the day" in the form of a series of blog entries, which will work out better because all of the songs will be in one spot, making them easier to find and go back to. The message kinda came outa nowhere to me, which leads me to believe that some of you may have "put in a good word" for the "shop song of the day" and for this, I thank you. I know some of you may think, well this is not woodwork related, but I beg to differ. When I head out to the shop to do some work the first tool I grab is my Ipod. Music, believe it or not, plays a key role in my woodworking. It motivates like no one else can and I draw some inspiration from it and I'm sure it affects some of you the same way.

When it comes to music, I am very open minded and have a very eclectic collection. There is something for everyone. You may not like the song I pick for a particular day, but I can ALMOST guarantee you that if you stick around and keep listening, I will play something that suites you. I know what you're thinking,haha, "Oh shut up and play the stinkin song already, sheesh!!!

I'm not to sure how this whole blog thing works, as this is my first one, so bare with me please.

This is one of my favorite bands, I have seen them so many times I lost count and most of those were right at Red Rock, I only live about 10 miles from it. Thanks for a great shop song. If your looking for something new check out Street Sweeper Social Club, they rock.

I like it! Thanks for keeping it going Zeke.
Roper we were there this summer. I could not get back stage to look at the play bills from the old concerts. Zeke you would love to see the opening acts for some of the those play bills. They have some in the visitor center but I remember 15 years ago what was back stage. What a great place to see a show. The benches are made of wood. :)

Today I have a double feature for two reasons. 1) I think Aint Life Grand may be a re post, but this is a super clean version. 2) Goin Out West doesn't have a whole lotta lyrics and some people prefer lyrics over the music and if I'm not mistaken, Sonny, the percussion player is playing a wood slit drum in this one. This way we can have our cake and eat it too. "IN MY MIND I WAS A CHILD….AND IT FELT GOOD"!!!!!!

Today is a "Two Fer" Tuesday.
This one's for you Rick, but I'm gonna need to see you do some of those moves that you taught Mick,haha.
The Rolling Stones, Satisfaction.

And because they're my favorite band…Widespread Panic covering the Stones, Sympathy For the Devil. This is a video from Halloween if you're wondering why they're dressed in costumes,haha. Man I sure do miss Mikey, the lead guitar player.

Here's my contribution Zeke … no 2'fer but a tune about civil war originally by Steve Earle. I couldn't find him actually doing it but these 2 gentlemen do a really good rendition….



(how do you post the vid's? save em to your comp?)

Widespread Panic, Holden Oversoul. One of my favorite Panic tunes off all time. Not the best quality so if you have external speakers, now would be a great time to plug em in. Mikey brings some heat a little after the 3 min mark.
