Got tix for their first show in a long while. Might be the last. Here for the 'Drag, especially at a great spot like SubT.

If it is the last one, here's to that Knoxville sound one more time.

A pair of arts celebrations happens this time of year here in Charleston, including a series of one-hour organ concerts(?!) hosted by local churches.  These start @ 10am and the series runs for 1-2 weeks.  My family’s not religious, so it’s fun to stop into so these different houses of worship with no expectations from anyone:  Everyone’s just there for the brief concerts, appreciating music made through an overwhelmingly large instrument; and then there’s the beauty of the places themselves.  

Yesterday morning’s concert was at Mother Emanuel AME.  Their organ is a “Zimmer” nicknamed “Big Bertha” and is said to be 115+ years old (though just underwent an 18-month refurbishment).  The visiting organist — Wesley Hall — his performance ranged from Bach to Connor Chee (a Native American composer) to current “classics,” such as this by John Williams  

 

 Thought you all might enjoy it too

Song seems as relevant these days as it did over 50 years ago.

Metallica. Master of Puppets. All of it.

I just saw him recently and the first part of the show was decent enough albeit short, but then he brought out this woman singer and I wanted to walk out. It was terrible. And I've seen Buckethead like 8 or 9 times.

Yes, I'm really bewildered as to what on earth he's doing with her! I've tried listening to a couple of the recordings they've done and couldn't bear to finish either! I did see a comment on a fan page that seemed quite sincerely to be suggesting that she'd helped him escape some kind of road traffic accident and that he'd subsequently felt that he owed her one, as it were. I've no idea if there's any truth to that but her involvement is certainly believable as some kind of "make a wish foundation" gig! But who's to say? Bucket is an unconventional character to say the least!

Headed to Vegas tomorrow for Dead & Co at the Sphere.

She cleared out half the venue. For 50 bucks I expect better. Maybe he's had enough shredding.

I lived in the Colorado Rockies thirty years ago and we listened to a lot of John Denver. Always a good call.
