Occupy Wall St. Oct. 22, 2001
Maybe the revolution will be televised
after all.

Johnny Depp and Keith Richards, Live at Hiro Ballroom after party Rum Diary

Keef still has it, what ever it is, sounds like the blues to me.
Hope the Stones hit the road once more in 2012. OK I'm still a fan
despite three decades of less than inspiring albums, but since
2ooo their live shows has redeemed them... maybe they're more of
an oldies band, but they started out covering the blues and wrote a
few classics of their own along the way....

Occupy Wall St. aka Eat the Rich


A tip of the hat to Archie Shepp and the funky avant-garde jazz that
never really caught on the late 60's and early 70's. Plus a bit of Bach
in the piano....he was ahead of his time. Part of my video graffitti
series ....youtube and data bits instead of spray paint and flat
surfaces....

Variation's on Grieg's Morning 1B.m4v



 A bit of a departure from my blue and rock efforts
as my infatuation with the wah-wah pedal drives
me to explore new contexts for it use.
A throwback to my classical new age
pretensions as

Amy Jade Winehouse (14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011)   
"She received extensive publicity over her substance abuse and mental health issues."
What is the relationship between these two,
was she merely self-medicating her mental anguish?

The Underdogs Blues Band


The Underdogs Blues Band

One of my favorite 60's band.
I don't think they ever got a name outside of
New Zealand but they were a progressive blues band
with a lot of John Mayall influences 
including a cover of the Peter Green/ Ansley Dunbar instrumental

"Rubber Duck"which can be heard at:


Another Mayall cover, "Sittin' in the Rain"
with a 1967 video. The original singles were pretty much unavailable in NZ, 
so covers versions served a practical purpose. Plus Mayall never toured in NZ.  
A bio is at:

A little rough in place on record they were a hot live band
that were a musical treat at the teenage dances in the Wellington area
in the mid-sixties. 

"Underdogs Blues Band - And Beyond (1967)"
