Grateful Dead - Woodstock 1969

I put together all of the clips I could find of the Grateful Dead jam at Woodstock in 1969. They did a five song set consisting of St. Stephen, Mama Tried, Darkstar / Hightime, and Turn on your Lovelight. They played in the pouring rain and had electrical problems which cut their set short but it is a classic collection nonetheless. I threw in two extras, one at the beginning and one at the end, which show some highlights. I can't find any footage of darkstar but if you have some, let me know. If you are looking for tab of grateful dead music I suggest jdarks.com.

Led Zeppelin - That's The Way

I like to use open tunings on my acoustic guitar. This Led Zeppelin song was one of the first ones I learned in an alternative tuning. It uses an open G tuning and is really easy to learn. I have included the Led Zeppelin Tab for That’s the Way below.

Intro: Riff 1 2x


Riff 1
I don't know how I'm going to tell you

Riff 1
My friend the boy next door

Riff 1 3x

Riff 1
I can't believe what people saying
Riff 1
You only let your hair down

I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long
Riff 1
You're in the darkest side of town

Riff 1 4x

Riff 1

Riff 1
And yesterday I saw you standing by the river
Riff 1
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes
Riff 1
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying
Riff 1
Had they got you hypnotized

Riff 1 4x

Riff 1
And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers
Riff 1
But all that lives is born to die
Riff 1
And so I say to you that nothing really matters
Riff 1
And all you do is stand and cry

Riff 1 4x

Riff 1
I don't know what to say about it
Riff 1
When all your ears are turned away
Riff 1
But now's the time to look and look again at what you see

Is that the way it ought to stay

Tizzy Bac Playlist

Here is a set of Tizzy Bac videos which include "You'll See" "Sideshow Bob", "Madame", and an awesome harpsicord jam.

A course in blogging? Sure, why not.

I'm evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they're letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

• The best blogging techniques.
• How to get traffic to your blog.
• How to turn your blog into money.

I'll let you know what I think once I've had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it's still free.

Christmas Playlist

I don't know why I didn't think of this before. I really have been building this site for myself. I place the song that I want to hear in one place so I can listen to them whenever I want. The trouble is that I have to click each song. I just discovered playlists. So here you have it...My Christmas playlist for 2007. Over twenty Christmas songs with just one click. Enjoy.

Van Halen Reunion Tour

I don't think there is anyway to recover from this.
The band is great and all, but....come on.

Asa - Fire on the mountain

I see her name listed as Asa and sometimes as Asha. Either way it is usually associated with Nigeria and reggae or folk. This first one is great!

Here is a live one.
