El Estepario Siberiano has been popping into my feed for well over a year - and every time I am blown away - but until now never shared him here.

Fixed.

🔗📼🎵 This could be my BEST video TO DATE. - YouTube

🔗📼🎵 MY STORY - HOW I MADE 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS. - YouTube



🔗📼🎵 The forgotten band that changed British rock music.

In all honesty - not a great video - but just happy to see The Strawbs being talked about.


Not a cover - totally original - and brilliant as Ren often is.

🔗📼🎵 Ren - Vincent’s Tale - Starry Night


Cover 2

Loved Tears for Fears - Bluegrass not so much - BUT there is some superb Bluegrass work that leaks through to my appreciative ears.

Like this one.

📼🔗🎵 Sierra Hull - Mad World (Tears For Fears) | DelFest (2022) - YouTube


Cover 1

Loved Yes - never a big fan of Asia - despite Asia often being made up of people I love … like Wetton, Howe, Palmer and Downes for example and Fanfare is one of my favourite ELP tracks.

(BTW - nothing like ELPs and IMHO a massive improvement.)

📼🔗🎵 Asia - Fanfare For The Common Man



🔗 Coherence Is the New Moat

Another post restructure - and reissue.


Why❓

Because it bloody is - 🔗📼 It’s Raining - AGAIN


// @jsonbecker … did not have you down as a ‘Tree/Wilson’ fan - but that track is sooo good. Hell - the whole album for that matter. I also agree that …

It’s incredible what a good teacher can help you with.

… but maybe as a child of not one - but two - teachers provides a bias?

ANYWHO

When Wilson moved into solo work - he had Guthrie Govan as his lead guitar - now THAT is some playing - and he is known for lessons and tips …

‘New News’ OR ‘Must Get Out From Under My Rock More’
A video podcast from Private Eye.

On Thin ICE - Private Eye on the Minneapolis shooting


You’ve probably already seen the video - or at least a still from it - but I just wanted to comment on the 🎵musical part - 🔗📼 just so good

Its Decision Time

Navigating the natural conflict between disruption and patience is essential. Responding to each at the right time is one of life’s greatest challenges.

Trust Requires Trust. Who Do YOU Trust?

If ‘the future’ is trust. Who/what - do you trust? I mean really really trust? And why?

One of ‘my’ guys playing the music of one of my mum’s (and so another one of ‘my’) guys.


I sell my soul - but at the highest rates.

Had cause to post this today - again - on a LinkedIN feed.


Just Good Music

Reconnecting with my Just Good Music cofounder and introducing you to an awesome video from ‘Ren’. Truly stunning - and if there is a god - he is going to go far.
