Pace Danny

Just added "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)" from this year's Magic tour by Bruce & The E Streeters to the playlist. This version (thank you Bruce & Amazon MP3 for putting it out) has the late Danny Federici on Accordion.
May we each create such beauty at least once before we die.
Love & Peace, Clarence

OlioRadio unleases the mid-July Top 25...40 tracks strong!

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor constipation, will stay the posting of OlioRadio's latest Top Twenty Five tracks (at http://olioradio.net/toptwentyfive.html). It only delays it until today...
As usual, Listeners tend to vote for older recordings, although, in a playlist spanning the entire 20th & early 21st century, "older" takes on a different meaning. Perhaps I should say "recordings from the last 15 years". Anyways, any list of top rated tracks that includes Robert Johnson, William Jennings Bryan, Tim Curry (NOT from Rocky Horror), Washboard Sam, Ray Stevens, and the Warner Bros. (and, the Warner Sister) is true to the eclecticism at the heart of OlioRadio.
Thanks again to the few, the proud, the Listeners to OlioRadio who create these charts by rating tracks. No input from yours truly (except to get off my wafer-thin prat & compile & post the info). Duke said it best: I love you madly.
Loce and Peace, Clarence

A Call to Arms for Freedom

Sir Bob Geldof on Civil Liberties in Britain (but his words resonate across many borders, including here in the US):

Thank you Bob.

towels needed

Just added to the OlioRadio playlist: "No Good Woman Blues" and "Shout Bamalama" by Wet Willie from the incredible release Drippin' Wet Live (availible on vinyl & on iTunes at popular prices, or on cd for $50-80 USD...or more).
