YouTube - Duane allman solo- Allman brothers

This one is still in my CD rack in the car, I bought the original album. You can work out how long ago that was...

YouTube - Santana - Song of the Wind

Alison Krauss is one of my heros. Here she debuts Sierra Hull who is now 17. Sierra's latest album is notable for the mando breaks but not much else. She has real talent, my gut feel is that she is going to some great stuff.

YouTube - Cluck Old Hen-Alison Krauss/Sierra Hull

Jackson Firebird are an explosive two piece Aussie Rock outfit spawned from the small country town of Mildura, Northern Victoria. The rock duo consists of fat guitar, distorted vocals, hard hitting drums and the unconventional sounds of a miked-up, upside-down “bottle bin”.

If you don't already have them get hold of the Rockwiz Duets DVD.s...some brilliant stuff on them.

[Shedhand]

Dave Hole is a West Australian. Story is he was a late starter musically and it was his hobby. One day, so it goes, he sold everything he had to move to the USA to crack the big-time. He did. They love him and he tours almost non-stop and has a big following over there. "Business Man" is one of my favourite tracks.

[Ironwood]

Dave Hole is a West Australian.


I remember reading in another thread a while back that Wild Dingo (member here) was a roadie for him, or something along those lines.

[Ironwood]

Come to think of it, it's prolly Ding's fault the guy plays slide upside down...:D

Maybe thats why Ding's gone to the US, to tell him after all these years.:)

If he's lucky he might catch up with this guy as well, another Aussie.

YouTube - Geoff Achison does Whipping Post - LIVE

[Shedhand]

I'm sure someone posted in here a comment that they wished their was someway to download the youtube vids to a hard -drive. I can't find who it was though.
BUT, no biggie! I have good news for us old rock n blues tragics. There is a way.
I've found a Firefox Add-on that does just that. It downloads the youTube native *.flv files and converts them to .mpeg, mp4 or avi files on the fly. The free version is short a few bells and whistles but for 28 bucks US you can have the registered version. I didn't bother.
Like I say its only for Firefox Browser 3.xxx (Linux, Mac and Windows XP). Its working ok on my Windows 7 OS. Give it a try.
Now I can sit back and watch Tom Waits any old time without draining my D/L allowance. woot.
GoHERE (http://www.downloadhelper.net/conversion-manual.php) for a decko!
Cheers
Mike
