Morning, kids… This… may be the perfect tune for our Covid Quarantine… We got the band together- Mike August, Gail Herrera, Elizabether Safley Brinker, Diane Poole, my lovely wife, Maggie, and Ernie Saunders- all amazing tune smiths on their own, and did a Dylan tune, ‘You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere’ (Easy Chair). Turned out pretty darn good, I believe… Hope you like it…
Hey there… Our friend Ernie joined us for an old Byrds tune, Mr Spaceman… Had a great time… Love playin’ w/ Ern… Hope you like it…
Our friend Diane Poole rounded up the troops- Elizabeth Safely Brinker (check out her YouTube page), Jim Allen, and Franco, and pulled off a great cover of the Zombies tune, ‘Time of the Season’…
Have loved this tune since it was released in 1967. Itchycoo Park, by The Small Faces. Steve Marriott, and Ronnie Lane. Marriott went on to start Humble Pie, one of the greatest hard rock bands in the late sixties, early seventies…Lane went onto The Faces- no, I’m not sure how that works either- with Rod Stewart…
Hope you like our version….
Several of us got together, so to speak, and, thanks to Elizabeth Safely Brinker, we did a tune… There’s Elizabeth, Maggie Magnuson, Diane Poole, Michael August, Bob Frisbee, Gail Herrera, Kirk Jones, and, me- Tim. Hope you like it…
Maggie loves this tune, and put her spin on it…
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…
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…
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…
I’ve always wanted to do Stairway to heaven. Yeah, I’m that old… So, after a week of tinkering, I gave it a shot… Hope you like it…
