Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ Finally, something worthwhile, out of this White House

To say that this administration has not lived up
to my expectations would be the understatement
of the quarter-century.

Well, last night, at the very least, they impressed
me with this.

That would be current members of the Allman
Brothers Band (an eternal, phenomenal group of
Southern musicians that were recently awarded
Lifetime Achievement status from the Rock n' Roll
Hall of Fame), Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes.
Susan Tedeschi (wife of Derek Trucks, is on lead vocals)
covering the Etta James (recently deceased) classic
"I'd Rather Go Blind" in the White House.

Derek is also the nephew of Butch Trucks, one of the
original and still performing members of The Allman
Brothers Band.

Well, it at least raises my spirits that this administration
has some serious taste in music. They invited the best
and the best performed as, only they, are capable of.

Really like Derek's slide solo at 2 minutes and 50 seconds.
Thank you Etta James for this "monster" piece of music
and all of the performers that did it justice.

Thanks to the Obama's for the shot of enthusiasm in this
thus far lackluster presidency.

Wow, if Obama would have known he would have gotten this much positive ratings, he would have hired them three years ago and had them play once a month right around when those popularity polls are due to come out.

Well we are all well aware that you would much rather have the Bush administration back, but I guess O-Bomb-Us will just have to do.

Yeah, right!

As much as I'd like to have yet another
hole in my Swiss Cheese of a head.

This ia a tribute to one of the greatest
bands that ever performed, let us please, keep
the posts on that point.

If Romeny gets elected, I promise you won't hear this song.

Shipping up to Boston.

Romney gets elected, I'll be in Venezuela or Chile enjoying a margarita

Folks, if you like or love the Blues, I would
suggest that you tune into your local PBS
stations at 9:00 p.m. EST to view the Red,
White & Blues from the White House.

Here are some of the performers that will
entertain you . . .

"The lineup features an array of blues and rock legends, including B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Mick Jagger and Jeff Beck, along with such likely future legends as Shemekia Copeland, Derek Trucks, Trombone Shorty and others. The house band, led by organist Booker T. Jones (of Booker T & The MG's fame) features drummer Narada Michael Walden and former James Brown trombonist Fred Wesley."

I like Sunday nights from 6-10pm WERS 88.9 in Boston. A college radio program they call the play ground. It's on the web. They do Reggae week nights 7-10pm.
