    These are definite "must haves"

    The title escapes me at the moment but I remember Receiving "the Band Rehearsals" in a trade along with another cd of unreleased tunes. I will dig it out when I get home and post it here as well for anyone who is interested.

    Highly recommend anything by Harry Manx!

    Bluesy Indian music. Anyone who hasnt heard him yet, he plays acoustic slide guitar and also an instrument called a "mohann veena" which is very similar sounding to a sitar. This guy completely blew me away from the first time I heard him.

    Also watch for him on tour this spring/summer. I know he has two shows booked in London already, plus 1 here in Huntsville, and I am pretty sure he will be making another appearance in Ottawa at the Bluesfest

    Blind Faith DVD

    Well All Right

    Sea Of Joy

    Sleeping In The Ground

    Under My Thumb

    Can't Find My Way Home

    Do What You Like

    Presence Of The Lord

    Means To An End

    Had To Cry Today

    Short-lived supergroup Blind Faith's live debut will be chronicled on the DVD "London Hyde Park 1969," due April 10 in Europe and the following month in North America via Sanctuary. The DVD features renditions of all six tracks from the group's lone self-titled studio album, which had not even been released at the time of the show.

    "Beautiful summer afternoon, loads of people -- well over 100,000," drummer Ginger Baker recalls to Billboard.com. "Happy, relaxed, laid back gig -- not loud on stage. Just pleasant volume unlike [the] preceding band I played with."

    Blind Faith rose out of the ashes of Cream, when Baker and Eric Clapton united with ex-Spencer Davis and Traffic singer/keyboardist Steve Winwood plus Family bassist Rick Grech. Although Clapton's main inspiration for forming the group was to move away from Cream's endless live soloing, "London Hyde Park 1969" has its fair share of jamming, including the drum solo showcase "Do What You Like."

    Also featured are covers of the Rolling Stones' "Under My Thumb," Traffic's "Means to an End" and the blues standard "Sleeping in the Ground." Vintage performances from Spencer Davis Group, Traffic and Cream round out the package.

    The majority of the tracks still hold up well for Baker after all these years. "My favorite tracks are 'Sea of Joy', 'Can't Find My Way Home,' 'Presence of the Lord' and 'Had to Cry Today' -- all four are classics," Baker says. "If Blind Faith had not been such a brief thing, would probably all have been released as singles. Great shame."

    After their live debut at Hyde Park, Blind Faith soldiered on for a U.S. tour of arenas, which was met with riots and clashes between fans and police on several occasions. The group quietly disbanded afterwards, with its members going on to other projects.

    Despite the release of DVD, Baker rules out any chance of a Blind Faith reunion. "Rick Grech died many years ago [in 1990]," he notes. "I just come out of retirement for short periods. I'm pretty much crippled with arthritis -- playing is a very painful experience for me."

    Take 2 ADVIL COLD & SINUS before you crash for the night. Drink lots of oxygenated water or Gatorade prior to crashing as well as the morning after.

    Not sure why the ADVIL works, but it seems to do the trick for preventing hangovers for anyone I know who has tried it. Also, the oxygenated water just seems to kick your body into gear better than just plain water.

    Grandpa was driving with his 9 year old granddaughter and beeped the horn by

    mistake. She turned and looked at him for an explanation.

    He said, "I did that by accident."

    She replied, "I know that, Grandpa."

    He replied,"How did you know?"

    She said, "Because you didn't say 'asshole' afterwards."

    Frank was excited about his new rifle and decided to try bear hunting.

    He traveled up to Alaska, spotted a small brown bear and shot it.

    Soon after, there was a tap on his shoulder and he turned around to see a

    big black bear.

    The black bear said, "That was a very bad mistake. That was my cousin. I'm

    going to give you two choices. Either I maul you to death or we have sex."

    After considering briefly, Frank decided to accept the latter alternative

    and the black bear had his way with Frank.

    Even though he felt sore for two weeks, Frank soon recovered and vowed

    revenge.

    He headed out on another trip to Alaska where he found the black bear and

    shot it dead.

    Right after, there was another tap on his

    shoulder. This time a huge grizzly bear stood right next to him.

    The grizzly said, "That was a big mistake, Frank. That was my cousin and

    you've got two choices: Either I maul you to death or we have rough sex."

    Again, Frank thought it was better to cooperate with the grizzly than be

    mauled to death, so the grizzly had his way with Frank.

    Although he survived, it took several months before Frank fully recovered.

    Now Frank was completely outraged.

    He headed back to Alaska, managed

    to track down the grizzly bear and shot it.

    He felt sweet revenge, but then, moments later, there was a tap on his

    shoulder. He turned around to find a giant polar bear standing there.

    The polar bear looked at him and said, "Admit it Frank, you don't come here

    for the hunting, do you?"
