Yesterday (2/10) was also the birthday of Roberta Flack. To celebrate, her singing the song that Mrs. Fairgambit thinks of whenever she looks at @fairgambit ;)

'ro's OP featured The Mamas & The Papas. Interestingly, the only musician that is a descendant of that group is Chynna Phillips, whose birthday is Saturday (2/12). To celebrate:

Wednesday (2/9) was the birthday of one of the all-time great song writers and performers, Carole King. Almost all of the later female rock singers have commented on what an influence she was to them. To celebrate:


Absolutely brilliant song writer/performer. I remember my reaction to first hearing Tapestry was, why the heck had she waited so long to record her own album.

I had a friend who said that song sounded like a tampon commercial. That is forever stuck in my mind whenever I hear it.

Jimmy Herring on Billy.

Otis: There were so many guests through the last year: George Porter Jr. in Mexico, Marcus King in Mexico and Trondossa, Jason Isbell at 420 Festival, and now Billy Strings and Todd Snider at the Ryman. What was it like playing with Billy?

Jimmy:
Billy is a wonderful kid. He is brilliant, he’s got great musical sensibilities. And, of course, he has technique for days. He can pretty much clobber anybody; he’s got flatpicking chops galore and he’s a true acoustic man. To me, acoustic is like a different world. I’m out of my wheelhouse a bit but I really love it because it’s a learning experience. To get to play with someone as good as him, I was knocked out. All of us absolutely loved playing with him.
