When made a post about an artist that inspires me, I didn’t really expect to find him and his musical partner to find it here on LinkedMusicians. But they did, I want to share more of the music of @reidjamiesonmusic, an artist I would put up there with Jeff Buckley, Kevin Gilbert, and Madison Cunningham. This was from the album where I first heard…Read More

I created this GROUP to be a place where we can post funny, completely ridiculous memes that make each other laugh, as well as meaningful and inspirational quotes. With that in mind, here’s a serious one.

My mother — a very talented pianist/organist and music teacher — would have enjoyed this! She used to say, “You’re only a musician because you play the piano. Drummers aren’t musicians.”

Back when I was a working musician, my day job was project manager of large direct mail marketing campaigns, including Columbia House and BMG music clubs (this will mean something to Americans of a certain age). I had a wall filled with Far Side comics and this was one of them.

Despite me being an atheist my second favourite quote is by Sibelius “Music is, for me, like a beautiful mosaic which God has put together. He takes all the pieces in his hand, throws them into the world, and we have to recreate the picture from the pieces.”

To keep the ball rolling – not a meme but my favourite musical quote – Vaughan Williams said about his very different & spiky 4th Symphony ””I don’t know whether I like it, but it’s what I meant!”
I love it!

It was at least a decade and a half ago when I became familiar with singer/songwriter Reid Jamieson. He’s an incredibly talented artist from Vancouver. He has one of the best voices I’ve ever heard in rock and he’s a very talented songwriter. I might have learned of him through Wilco, as they are huge fans, and some band members worked with him…Read More

Just got round to listening as have been back on my old stomping ground of Bradford for a few days – nice!

We were there to see this Polish band for the first time after loving them since this album (with Nigel Kennedy on fiddle) was released https://youtu.be/FN5XrQoUiP0?si=ZIa4qdE8lU1nQuEd

Thanks kindly Peter! We sometimes feel like we are making music in a vacuum, shout outs like this keep us going 🙂

When I first heard Reid’s music, I bought every CD he had. I compared his talent to Jeff Buckley. It’s a testimony to how screwed up the industry is that he isn’t a name every rock musician knows. I try to do my part and tell others about him.

Another great Show of Hands song that moves me to tears when sung by thousands of voices at a folk festival

I’m really looking forward to seeing the outstanding Canadian singer / songwriter James Keelaghan at the Black Swan Folk Club here in York, England in a few weeks time. His song ‘Cold Missouri Waters’ is possibly the most moving song I have ever heard and he has plenty more up to the same standard. Check him out – he’s a great performer too!…Read More

Cool. I wasn’t aware of James Keelaghan and his music before today.
Now, I know you probably think all I do is listen to rock and anything with loud drums (Animal from the Muppets is my hero, it’s true!), but I love folk rock. My father’s favorite band when I was a kid was SImon and Garfunkle, and I quickly became a fan of the great songs. This…Read More-
Another songwriter well worth listening to is Richard Shindell – this is one of his best songs – also covered by the magnificent English folk duo Show of Hands – check out their Witness CD

That song, “Santiago,” is lovely! I really like it a lot. That’s my favorite of the bunch. I’ll share this with my wife, I’m sure she’ll love it too. So, you succeeded in doing what I desired for this GROUP — to expose each other to new music and hopefully, with our minds and ears open, we’ll discover artists and music that is new and special to us.

It really is beautiful – to hear 3000 people singing that in a marquee at Shrewsbury Folk Festival was one of the most sublime experiences of my life!

I have lots more but I’ll leave that for another day 🙂

Currently listening to…Radiohead.
Radiohead is one of the greatest bands of all time, IMO. They’re up there with my all-time favorite bands like The Beatles, Zeppelin, Yes, Genesis, and Steely Dan (okay, not really a band, but songwriters and a bunch of studio musicians). I’d consider The Beatles the greatest band of all time, but I’d…Read More

I was made aware of the music of the profoundly talented Madison Cunningham around a decade ago. She’s the musical heir of Jeff Buckley in many ways, an artist I really greatly appreciated. Her music has been in my headphones for many hours when working on this site.

I don’t recall being blown away by an artist like I am with Madison Cunningham since Jeff Buckley. I think @gregjazz who’s responsible for me being aware of her several years back when he was preparing to sample a rubber neck guitar and forwarded me her excellent song, “Pin It Down.” If the world got music right, Madison would be selling out…Read More

Madison Cunningham is an amazing talent. She represents one of the times that the Grammy’s got it right. Her name is up there with Jeff Buckley and Kevin Gilbert, IMO. Her voice, her playing (she plays guitar, bass, piano, and drums) are simply wonderful.
As people age, they’re prone to keep listening to the same old music and close their…Read More

Currently listening to Madison Cunningham. She’s been out for about a decade now, and won some Grammy awards. Still her YouTube channel still has only 53k subscribers. It should at least have a billion. To those my age who love to complain that there’s no good music anymore, just listen.

I’ve become infatuated with Heilung. They themself call it Amplified History. It’s based on old pagan European traditions, pre-Christian pre-Roman era. Little is known about that time in terms of music, they had drums, they had their voice and perhaps some weird snared instrument. The lyrics come from old…Read More

Hey, this is perfect for a forum section I plan on creating this week that I think people will love. It’s going to feature links to video tutorials we recommend, films (documentaries, mock documentaries, dramatic and comedic movies related to music), concert viideos, etc. What do you think? Would you want to see that section? We really need to get…Read More

That’s great Joe. I intended this GROUP to be all kinds of memes and quotes, from funny ones to serious and inspirational quotes. I love them all and I’m sure I’m not alone. So when the moment strikes you — or you see something you want to share — don’t hold back!
