It was around 10 years ago that I got my first exposure to Guthrie Govan on Steven Wilson’s Raven album and in the touring band that IMHO was the definitive Wilson band.
Nice to see 📼 Rick Beato wax lyrical on the man in 10 short minutes that includes some great YouTube footage.
🎵 Bonus - Guthrie running his magic on Wonderful Slippery Thing
I have now listened to the new Yes album maybe 4 times. It is definitely not their greatest album - by any stretch - but it is also far from the worst.

🎵 My friend Scott Schorr has just made 50 vinyl copies of the Levin Torn White album available for sale, with …
$5 from every purchase will be donated to Music Aid Northwest in Alan’s name.
It is a superb album.
🎵 Mirror To The Sky By Yes … as I type on my second time through it … so that’s good … right?

I just found out about 🔗 Connie Converse
🎙️ Mike Pesca talking to Howard Fishman who wrote 📚 To Anyone Who Ever Asks
Talk about a hole in history.
🎵 Have to say, I am in two minds about this … but Beck’s guitar … sublime.
Side note … As a kid ‘Moonriver’ seemed to be played everywhere - even years after its release. Funny to see two artists that my parents railed against performing a crooner standard!
I love the Playing For Change Series.
Stumbled across these over the weekend.
Enjoy.
