It is stinking hot here in Lincoln. Temperatures are 100+
with the kind of humidity that makes you feel like a self-basting turkey. So,
since I did an acoustic guitar mix last week, I think tonight we’ll go electric
focusing on some of my all time favorite guitar songs, including a couple from
up-and-comers Andrew Winton and Davy Knowles. David Gilmore plays THE most
tasteful leads I’ve ever heard. Eric Clapton is peerless at the blues. When I
saw Albert Lee doing “I’m going Home” in concert, I was blown away. I’ve chosen
some of Jimmy Page’s more bluesy numbers with the exception of Stairway, which
if you’re a guitarist and can’t play it, then you’re really not a guitarist.
Went with more blues from Jeff Beck and Johnny Winter. Is there a trend here?
Hmm, might as well complete the trend with a little Larry Carlton, Robben Ford
and Eric Johnson. Enjoy!

Although I am a wine
lover, I ain’t no snob. I try to blog about what tastes good and, of course, is
affordable. To really put that to the test I want to review a great summer
sipper/quaffer, Dr. Beckermann’s Piesporter Michelsberg…from Trader Joe’s. It’s
a steal at $6.00. It’s semi-sweet with a floral nose. Honey, apples, and lemon
come through on the palate with a slight bit of fizz. Very nice for sipping on
a warm summer evening. And as a dining tip, Piesporter Michelsbergs, Rieslings,
and Gewurztraminers go great with spicy food. So, while you’re at Trader Joe’s
picking up this wine, don’t forget the stuffed jalapenos!
Cheers!

I was listening to David Gilmour's second solo in Dogs when I clicked this in my Google Reader. The lyrical beauty of his solos is unparalleled. Few can make a guitar speak with such a distinctive voice.
I'm going to see "The Wall" on July 9, can't wait. I heard Roger Waters in an interview talking about how much they focused on making the guitars sound just like the album, treating it like a classical composition.
Listening through the rest of the mix now...
