What a great interview. Joe is an outstanding guy, funny, oddly articulate, and intelligent. You wouldn't think it until you see him in a setting like this, where he has a chance to express himself freely.
I especially liked the exchange with one of the students at 50:50.
"Joe, what can you...
I grew up on East 7th St, between Cooper Square and 2nd Avenue. One block uptown was St Mark's Place. It isn't actually considered Greenwich Village but close enough. Most people call it the 'East Village' and at the time it was simply a Slavic ghetto, full of tenement buildings like the one...
Yeah, that song is from the album 'Miracle', which Mark produced for Willy. It is a lovely, tuneful album. The movie you see in the background is The Princess Bride, which took Willy's song for its theme.
Every time I think of Willy I remember how we used to see him regularly at CBGB's, which...
Here's a nice read about one of the quintessential albums of our generation, in celebration of its 50th anniversary of release.
'Tapestry'. Gawd, what an album, simply perfect:

The sax in rock music died with Clarence. [Although I really really like Mindi Abair, she is great.]
I have one issue with the selections here, though...Clarence's sax work on Bruce's 'Jungleland' trumps 'Born to Run' any day, all day.
That's a good post, George. They are at Gordon's house, but Gordon isn't singing, just walking around behind them in an attractive brown wifebeater sucking on a cigarette, lolz. Roger McGuinn and...uh... Bob Z hisself [nice hat Bob]
If you get a chance, watch Scorsese's Rolling Thunder Revue...
Thanks for this Dan, it is one of my favorites and I didn't know Rick B had disassembled it on his site. The version of 'Amelia' I posted above your post isn't with the original musicians; Pat Metheny didn't play on her 'Hejira' album, the guitars were played by Larry Carlton, and Jaco on bass.
No, you supreme knucklehead ;) , I was introduced to his... music... when he was playing with Pat Metheny [just like Rick Beato was]. Ambiguously and poorly written :confused: It's not your fault, [but it's fun to call you a knucklehead anyhow :) ]
I have met some interesting people in my...
Yeah, well Jaco set a pretty high bar. I was introduced to him when he played with Pat Metheny, just like Rick. It also introduced me to Pat Metheny as well, became a lifelong fan. My favorite Metheny album: "As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls". Unfortunately, Jaco wasn't on that...
