"Can you move over, I'm falling off the bed" . Those same words have come out of my mouth many times.

Thanks for posting. I enjoyed it.

I've never been huge on "live" albums, but this one is a fantastic capturing of that eras tunes from Mike Watt (Ball-Hog or Tugboat). Also features Ed Vedder on several tracks, Dave Grohl on drums and guitars,Pat Smear on guitars, and William Goldsmith on drums.

I am listening to the Johnson Mountain Boy CD "At the Old Schoolhouse". This 1988 recording offers us a could sampling of the hard driving kind of blue grass that featured the hard driving kind of bluegrass that traditionalists had been yearning for a long time. This group, with various people being in the band lasted from 1975 to 1996. This album featured the wonder "Let the World Talk About You" and a very poignant "Dream of a Miner's Child".

4/5

LOL! Forgot this was in my phone collection. Way way back, after a bad breakup this was an anthem! If you’ve never heard it, listen twice because it’s about the funniest breakup song ever recorded!

Just every so often I get an overpowering urge for the great Bill Monroe. Performed on stage at the Grand Ole Opry for over 50 years. He written songs than most of you can imagine. "The Father of Bluegrass Music". This album contains many stellar musicians like Kenny Baker, Bill Keith, Joe Stuart, Jimmy Martin, Del McCoury, Stringbean, Joe Stuart, Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, Mac Wiseman, etc. The list I looked at listed over 70 musicians who played with him. And, of course, he played the finest bluegrass mandolin you ever heard in 30's through 70's. He played into the 90's.

This is the first verse of "I Wonder Where You Are Tonight".

"Tonight I'm sad, my heart is weary,
Wond'ring if I'm wrong or right,
To think about you, though you left me,
I wonder where you are tonight."
