A "stream of consciousness" observation on music and how we relate to it. How we purchase, listen to and enjoy music is changing. What does it mean to be a music fan in a world where every song, performance and video is literally at your fingertips? I hope to be a guide to this new world of musical experience. Featuring tunes and comments about artists, old and new in nearly every genre.

Fab Faux Coming to Ann Arbor Saturday April 13, 2013
Just picked up my tickets for the Fab Faux, the band led by Conan's Jimmy Vivino and Letterman's Will Lee that reproduces Beatles songs as exactly as possible. This is not a so-called "wig" band. They are not doing a "Beatlemania" type show with phony English accents (not that I haven't seen and enjoyed those type of shows). This is something different. Here's a link to their website. The show is at Ann Arbor's Michigan Theater.
Here's a clip of a great appearance on Letterman doing "I Am The Walrus."
There will be special guest stars performing with the Fab Faux. Recording artists Jim Boggia (born in Royal Oak!) will be there, presumably guest vocalizing on a couple tunes, as he has done in the past.
Here is Jim's cool "Listening To NRBQ" track!
Erin Hill of "Erin Hill and her Psychedelic Harp" fame will also be there!
The Fab Faux will be accompanied by the Creme Tangerine Strings and the Hogshead Horns. They will be doing the entire White Album but will probably start the show with a set of random Beatle tunes. Highly recommended.
Let's make our song of the day, "Don't Pass Me By" from the White Album which is the first song Ritchie Starkey ever wrote!
