A great life
Today would have been Grant Imahara’s 50th birthday… His legacy is a strong one… This is a link to his foundation, and, a video of/about Grant, that is amazing, and will leave you in tears…
Back To You
This is a tune, written by our very good friend, Keith Meyer… in ‘74 or ‘75’… Called Back To You… One of the best songs I’ve ever heard/played… And, the first tune Maggie learned to play on guitar…
Jump the Mississippi
We borrowed a tune from the Spare Change Band, and our friend Michael August added the right amount of cool, to make this tune pop… Hope you enjoy it…
Too much social distanced fun…
We went on a social distanced road trip, this weekend.
We hung w/ amazing people, who, have been quarantined and social distancing… ‘Cept for this…
So, Mike- Back row, right- entered a contest to win a fabulous Bonanza five string ukulele, from Pete-back row, left- and sure as shootin’, Mike won! Dilemma, ship it? Or, wait! Pete had a great idea… ‘Why don’t you come and pick it up?’… Dee-front row, left, in the tie dye- said, ‘bring the Magtones!’… That’s us… So, the plot was hatched… Pete and Dee invited Mike, and his lovely wife Ann-back row, center- and the us, to come to their corner of the world, and spend Thursday-Sunday morning, w/ them…
We arrived Thursday afternoon, and proceeded to join Pete on his Facebook show. How fun… And joined him on the Friday show. Fun! And, the Saturday show… More fun! Great tunes. Fun interaction w/ the peeps on the other side of the camera, and, just hangin’ out w/ all of us…
Dee, a mistress of the kitchen, fed us AMAZING southern food, til we thought we’d gone to food heaven… What a chef, and sweetheart….
There was as much heartfelt conversation around the house, and dinner table, as there was music… It… Does not get much better than that…
Sunday morning, rolled round, and, it was sadly, time to head back north… We shall deeply miss them, IRL, til we get to meet again…
When I’m Dead
Our friend, Elizabeth, graciously asked if I’d help a little on her amazing take on ‘When I Die’ by Blood Sweat & Tears. The amazing Mike August, was on the scene, too… What a great version, Elizabeth!!!
Angel From Montgomery
Gotta say, that, not the worlds biggest John Prine fan, but, love this tune… Thank you to our dear friends, Diane, Elizabeth, and, Mike, for making us sound good! We ARE musical team…..
Roseville Fair
We were at the world headquarters of Spare Change, the great duo, and, we did a few tunes for our friend Al. This was our tune. Roseville Fair, done by Nanci Griffith, a while ago…. Always loved it… Thanks to Spare Change for filling in the gaps…
Wildflower
We got together with Spare Change ( Liz & Jeff ) and did a couple tunes. They did Tom Petty’s ‘Wildflower’, for our friend, Al. We filled in, in the background… Not too shabby!
Different Drum
Have always loved this tune… Which, was written by Michael Nesmith, of the Monkees…. Yes…. him… Anyway, we decided to do the tune, and, it came out pretty good! Hope you like it!
