  1. One of my favorite gypsy jazz groups did a take on the Godfather theme, much different than Slash but some mighty fine guitar playing!

  2. Must be a guitar band

  3. Very cool, Earendil!

    The Dickies – Banana Splits

    • Love The Dickies. Got to see them years ago. Fantastic live.

      • I’ve heard that, but sadly never saw them myself.

        • They still play a lot out here in L.A. and they’re still awesome.

    • This reminds me of my favorite theme songs from childhood.

      I know that Bill Cosby is/was horrible – but as a kid – I loved Fat Albert.

    • thank you!

      speaking of solo, did fanny dislike her solo birthday? I imagine she wanted a bigger crowd!

      • She really misses her doggy friends. When we go for walks and she sees other dogs she cries. She’s very social and had a group of friends she played with almost daily. We’d have parties at each other’s homes. I feel so sorry for her. The first thing we’re doing when it’s safe is throw a dog party on the patio.

        • and I thought I had it bad. it must be a living hell for fanny. let’s hope it’ll be over soon…

  5. The purple lilac is in bloom.

  7. TOTALLY unrelated to ANYTHING here, but a *Very Good Thing:*
    For any of y’all who are Verizon customers,and who have Verizon Up–
    Go claim your Arbor Day/Earth Day gift, follow the instructions to “use” the gift, and make Verizon pay to plant a tree with the Arbor Day Foundation on your behalf😉

    It’s super easy to do, just follow the instructions and claim it *now,* because I suspect that they pledged to plant _____ many trees, and like any good corporation…. will expect that *most* of the folks who claim the reward will NOT bother to follow through–so they can get a great press release,without *actually* needing to do the work…
    So let’s MAKE them work (AND let’s make them pay for it!😁😉😈)

    • I don’t have Verizon but that is a good thing. Every year on a weekend in April our city holds a big tree planting event. Not this year of course, sigh. There are so many things I miss.

      • Go Meg and Emmer, planting trees and saving the planet! 🌱

      • Yaaaay!!
        Make them pay!😉😁

  8. This is a great version by the Professionals. The breakbeat here has been frequently sampled.

    • Slash plays the National Anthem before Game 3 at the Staples Center between the Chicago Blackhawks and Los Angeles Kings:


  13. In a sports related note, I didn’t know that Roy had drug issues which could be considered a secondary cause to his demise in a light plane. This is so surprising to me (but it probably shouldn’t) because he seemed so straight laced.

  14. Also, if we are going to talk Godfather, you have to have the Godfathers! Why? Cause I Said So!

    • You beat me to it, but I’m still adding to it. With both barrels.

      The Old:

      The New:

      X and The Godfathers in one night? Fantastic.

  15. I’m late to the game as usual, but since someone up there mentioned “guitar band”, I thought I’d share some clips of my very favorite guitar band. Don’t judge me. If you haven’t already, go listen to Guitar in the Space Age! by this group.

  16. B.B. King with Slash – The Thrill Is Gone:

    and

    slash with b.b. king:

    • sorry, I forgot the description:

      2011, Live At The Royal Albert Hall with Slash, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Ronnie Wood and Simply Red’s Mick Hucknall.
