Here is a fave band of mine that has such solid licks and guitar hooks for days.

The drummers is outstanding as well. Did a few shows on the same bill with them several years ago.

These guys are real talented and I dig their music.

Eclipse have been around a while and have a huge European following.Pretty sure they are from Sweden so that makes sense.

One of my favorite bands - I first hear panning in their 2nd album called just Traffic and my favorite started as a Steve Winwood solo album and ended up as a full fledged traffic album - RIP Jim Calardi and Chris Wood.......

 

My favorite cuts are GLAD and John Barletcorn (I still play JB as often as I can0

Me too!   There are bands where their coming together is a confluence of talent and genius.  

 

This is a wonderful album and JB is an all time favorite.  I really like Welcome to the Canteen.  Its a short live album with only six numbers but they are all keepers!

@Abi I am not as fmiliar but so happy you can get me back to speed as are many of the other ladies her. I try not to be a musical snob and I respect ANY music done well - no matter the genre. I being human have my go to's and comfort zone but am always stopping at the library and picking up new performers - usually from NPR all music considered - and try to keep up - I feel sad for those who stick to one genre or era and say that is the only good music out there. I am always looking for new talent and influences....

 

Thank You for your help.

PS @Abi listened to RUNN - Misery - nice arrangement love her voice

 

@Cyndee and @Jani I loved Traffic from the first moment I heard them and have all of their recorded output along with Jim and Steve's solo work. Welcome to the Canteen was excellent and many of their later tours with the Mussle Shoals rhythm section in support of Low Spark of High Healed Boys and Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory.

@Shay I enjoy going back in the library of musicians once in a great while. The reason I listen to newer online artists is that they have such great singers. I like a light techno background with powerful vocals. Here is one of my favorites.

I agree - this is a beautiful song and beautifully sung and draws out emotions - not necessarily my cup of tea of some of the techno sounds but over all I like the performance and writing very much.

Jenny Lewis is spinning on the CD player this morning, yesterday it was Brandi Carlile with some Anna Nalick.

Again - I may be less than conventional for a trans person - but then is a trans person ever conventional? I love dancing - particularly with my wife (when I'm in male mode), but if I'm out somewhere - I'll dance with whoever is dancing. I love all sorts of dancing and one of my favourites is Salsa - just found this playlist today -

This is wonderful - I'm into EDM, Trance and pretty much anything that can be danced to (despite my age - 62)

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍
