Travelin’ music from just down the street
I posted these guys — the Carolina Chocolate Drops, from Durham, N.C. — a while back, but since they’re appearing tonight down the street at the Variety Playhouse in Little Five Points, and since I’ve already got our tickets in hand, I thought I’d give ‘em another shout-out.
We’ve been blessed with a wide variety of ways to tap into music, from satellite radio to iTunes to standard radio to downloads to Pandora to Youtube videos, but there’s nothing better for musicians and audience alike than experiencing music played live. No matter how good the sound recording or how data-rich the video, it can’t communicate the energy and emotion that flows in live performance.

This appears to be an all black band.
Jay, if a white band called itself “the Carolina vanilla drops”, what do you suppose the reaction would be?
If any of you think America’s obsession with ignoring this sort of double standard is harmless, you’re living in a fool’s paradise.

Nice selection Jay. Concerts are a hassle, but nothing like seeing live music.
Speaking of lady fiddlers, here is the lovely and talented Amanda Shires playing with her fiance Jason Isbell in an HQ video from Letterman. Something missing on this live edition, is that on the studio version of the song when Jason says “hate” she hits an awful cat-gut squawk on the fiddle.

While it’s tough to close in on my favorite Bob Seger tune, it always comes back to my first Seger concert. Live at Cobo Hall. My first ever concert was Kiss Alive at the same venue. LOL I “spent the night” with the same guy and we snuck out with his big brother for both of them. There was a video of the concert made, but I couldn’t find it so you’ll have to settle for this one:

Seriously, though, Southern Jewish history is something that, if you read it or (in my case) are an inheritor of the tradition, is something that flies in the face of the stereotypes…if you look closely, you will find that standing at the cradle of Southern civilization wee a Jewish Adam and an Indian Eve.

“A union boss walks into a bar next door to the factory and is about to order a drink to celebrate Obama’s victory when he sees a guy close by wearing a Romney for President button and two beers in front of him. He doesn’t have to be an Einstein to know that this guy is a Republican. So, he shouts over to the bartender so loudly that everyone can hear, “Drinks for everyone in here, bartender, but not for the Republican.”
Soon after the drinks have been handed out, the Republican gives him a big smile, waves at him,
then says, “Thank you!” in an equally loud voice. This infuriates the union boss.
So the union boss once again loudly orders drinks for everyone except the Republican.
As before, this does not seem to bother the Republican. He continues to smile, and again yells, “Thank you!”
So just to make his point one more time, the union boss once again loudly orders drinks for everyone except the Republican.
But, as before, this does not seem to bother the Republican. He continues to smile, and again yells, “Thank you!”
Frustrated, the union boss asks the bartender, “What the heck is the matter with that Republican? I’ve ordered three rounds of drinks for everyone in the bar but him, and all the stupid jerk does is smile and thank me. Is he nuts?”
“Nope,” replies the bartender. “He owns the place.”
