8/14 - A few years ago a portable jukebox was discovered which belonged to John Lennon in the 1960s. The jukebox conntained a tracklist of 40 records - soul, R&B and Rock 'n' Roll - written in Lennon's own handwriting. These are the songs which shaped his musical education and they reveal many of the original sources of inspiration for his later songwriting.

Oct 7, 2008 - Spare, deceptively simple. Duck Dunn is my other favorite bassist.

Oct 7, 2008 - It makes me mad when I think how much more music this group could've made had Al Jackson not been murdered. What a loss. He left his mark, though. They all did.

luggo Says:

Oct 7, 2008 - Priceless. Look at them ol' Marshalls! Musta been in England. I'll bet Duck and Steve had a burnin' yearnin' fer some Fender amps right about then....

mstern18 Says:

Oct 7, 2008 - actually I recognize this footage from a performance in Norway, during the tour of Europe in '67. theres a dvd of it, "Stax Volt Revue." according to the booklet that came with the dvd the amps (and drum set) were on loan from a local rock band. yeah, it probably would make more sense for them to be using fenders...but they still sound great of course..

Oct 7, 2008 - Great interview with spectacular guitarist "Play It Steve" Cropper. I was standing five feet away from him and his flying fingers last night at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC. What a show! What a band! To finally see Booker T @the MGs after 40 years was a dream come true. And Steve you are one hunk of a man!
