I watched on ESPN last night The Eagles
in concert Live at the Forum from 2018.
In the new line up now is Vince Gill and
Glenn Freys son Deacon, who looks and
sounds a lot like his Dad. They did a nice
tribute to Glenn and performed all
their hits. It was an excellent show
and it’s on YouTube also.

Sad news today: Benjamin Keough, son of Lisa Marie Presley and musician, Danny Keough, has died at the age of 27. He was the grandson of Elvis and Priscilla Presley. No details have been made public. As one might imagine, the family is devastated. RIP.

Hey, just wondering if anybody else is having problems with the Song Title Word Association game, or is it just me? When I go to it, the last response I can see says July 10, 2020 at 11:12 PM, but now all the Reply buttons are grayed out, so you can't add anything. Or at least I can't. Did we break it somehow? 😳

I watched the show, also, and was very disappointed. It wasn't what I had expected and was not at all like the other virtual concerts that have been aired recently. There wasn't even a birthday greeting from Sir Paul. The video shown had been aired on YT after the concert last year. It was great seeing them together, but nothing new.
It looked like it was all thrown together at the last minute. Some of the videos were poor quality and the spliced together ones were awful.
I don't mind that the musicians are having these "concerts" as fundraisers. A few weeks ago, Paul Simon and Edie Brickell, with support from Willie Nelson, hosted A Night for Austin virtual concert that raised $600,000 in support of our local musicians, artists, and food bank. The videos were all good quality, and a lot of the musicians were old timers from 70's Austin. It was a real throw back experience. To the extent that I can, I don't mind supporting our local arts community.

I watched the show. First I have to say
that I’m not enjoying any of these virtual concerts/shows. No way can they capture
the heart of a live show. Although I enjoyed
the clips of the Beatles and some of the
music, it pains me to watch people destroy
a Beatles song. Being brutally honest,
Sheryl Crow can’t even come close to
recapturing the wonder and genius
that is “All you need is love” It was
awful. But what I dislike most of all
is the need to try and extract money
from me for all these charities.
I don’t know if I will even watch
these types of shows anymore.

So sad to hear the news on the death of composer Ennio Morricone. His film scores for Sergio Leone's "spaghetti westerns" were something very new and different, and well suited to Clint Eastwood's man-with-no-name characters. But he was so much more than just those western movie scores to which we seem to gravitate.
One of my favorite instrumentals is this one is from the film, The Mission, the beautiful, Gabriel's Oboe. RIP, Maestro Morricone. You will be greatly missed, but we will always have your beautiful gift of music for the ages.
