What kind of music you hear while you trade?

Here's another Richie Valens number sung by Los Lobos....

ASAP Rocky - M's Ft. Lil Wayne [explicit]


ASAP Rocky - Brand New Guy (feat. ScHoolboy Q) [explicit]

I hear the imperial march.

Rod Stewart - Mandolin Wind

(“He was not credited by name on the sleeve of Every Picture Tells a Story, only by a reference
"The mandolin was played by the mandolin player in Lindisfarne. The name slips my mind." - Rod)


That guy was Ray Jackson.

Jackson threatened legal action against Stewart in 2003, claiming that he should have been credited as co-composer of "Maggie May" alongside Stewart and guitarist Martin Quittenton for writing the musical "hook" of the song. Stewart had called Jackson in to play on "Mandolin Wind", and was so pleased at the results that he asked the musician if he had any ideas for the unfinished "Maggie May". Jackson claimed that he wrote the famous and instantly recognizable mandolin hook. In a statement he said, "I am convinced that my contribution to 'Maggie May,' which occurred in the early stages of my career when I was just becoming famous for my work with Lindisfarne, was essential to the success of the record.
A spokesman for Stewart dismissed his claim as "ridiculous".


Ronnie Wood - Pedal Steel
Sam Mitchell - Slide Guitar
Martin Quittenton - Acoustic
Ray Jackson - Mandolin

Masterpiece Album. Nice memories!!!! Thanks.
I love Rod Stewart voice and his ability in the first period as Folk-Blues singer.
Try to listen to Truth wit Jeff Beck today. Amazing experience after all these years.

1 August 1968! No comment. I am sure that I bought the first copy sold in Italy! ROFL.

Jeff Beck. A class apart. To me, the greatest of them all! And I have no doubts.

1968 - 2018 Joe Bonamassa... less psychedelic! But straight to the point.

Todays birthday list kicks off with Marty Balin, American singer, songwriter best known as the founder and one of the lead singers of Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship. who had the 1967 US No.18 single 'White Rabbit'. Balin played with Jefferson Airplane at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 and at the Woodstock Festival in 1969. He died on September 27, 2018 at the age of 76. Grace Slick (of course) took the 'spotlight', but Marty was a true legend of rock....

Another birthday is for name that many (of my generation!) will remember....Steve Marriott, guitarist and singer/songwriter. He was a major influence on many UK bands. Marriott was a member of Small Faces who had the 1967 UK No.3 & US No.16 single with ‘Itchycoo Park’ plus the 1968 No.1 UK album 'Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake.' Formed Humble Pie who had the 1969 UK No.4 single ‘Natural Born Bugie’. Marriott died in a house fire on April 20th 1991.

There's not much to say that hasn't already been saod about Phil Collins, drummer, singer, songwriter who was a member of Genesis who had the 1986 US No.1 'Invisible Touch', 1992 UK No.7 single 'I Can't Dance' plus six UK No.1 albums. As a solo artist had the 1988 UK & US No.1 single 'A Groovy Kind Of Love' plus six other US No.1's and four UK No.1 solo albums.
