Rest In Peace George Frayne

Better known as Commander Cody.

Piano player - pretty good. Frontman - extraordinaire.

Arguably the best band ever to come out of Ann Arbor, Michigan, certainly the swinginest.

Here's the great Bill Kirchen playing that car passing music on his "coal burning guitar", Billy C. Farlow and John Tichy on rhythm guitars, Buffalo Bruce Barlow on the bass, Lance Dickerson on the drums, the also great Andy Stein on the fiddle and the equally, also great Bobby Black on the steel guitar.

This is Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen.

Hot Rod Lincoln.

My Pappy said son ...

This is my favorite part of the Woodstock movie.

Sure Michael Shrieve could have pared that drum solo back a bit, but I'm cutting him some slack just for one smile of pure 20 year old joy somewhere around :55.

This is Carlos Santana playing his Gibson SG guitar, Greg Rolle on organ, Dave Brown on bass, Chepito Areas on percussion, Mike Carabello on the conga drums, and Mike Shrieve on drums.

Santana.

Soul Sacrifice.

 I know this to be the case because I happened to have tickets for Joni Mitchell that night at Pine Knob.

You can trust me on this one when I tell you that the crowd was ready.

 Under normal circumstances, I would have never gone out and bought myself a ticket to a Joni Mitchell show but ..... there was this girl .....

 Anyway, I was completely unprepared for a band that rocked as hard as Tom Scott and the LA Express.

To this day, Court and Spark remains one of my all time favorite records.

Do what you want, but my best advice to you would be ..... crank it.

Apologies for the crap resolution, the great version of this performance has disappeared from the internet.

He bought a 57 Biscaine, he put it in a ditch.

Drank up all the rest that sonofabitch.

Sudden rise in SO2 levels suggests huge cremation surge in Wuhan

From Mish Talk

A sudden rise sulphur dioxide (SO2) levels is associated with sudden burning of organic matter including human bodies.

As alway, click on the map below to go straight to the article in it's entirety.

So here's the question, "How likely is it that the Chinese government is lying through their teeth about the extent of the total infections and deaths caused by the Coronavirus?"

Then, of course, there's the next quesion, 'Why would the Chinese government be any different from any other government?"
