The Crusaders - 1980 BBC In Concert, UK - R.I.P. Joe Sample

Joe Sample the great keyboard player of the Crusaders died on 9-12-2014.  Joe Sample and the Crusaders have been part of my life's soundtrack.  I was blessed to see the Crusaders several times in the early 70s and have been listening to their music ever since.  They have a great sound blending jazz, soul and funk into a unique sound.  Henderson one of the other founding members of the group described the Crusaders as “We are the fathers of jazz-funk-fusion,”.  Whatever you call it, it just hits me right and I never get tired of it.  The Crusaders made over 40 albums and Sample also recorded 21 solo albums.  Sample was also a contributor on many others including some great albums by Joni Mitchell, BB King, The LA Express, Michael Franks, Anita Baker, and Marvin Gaye.  So here are a couple of live recordings, just to say R.I. P. Joe, you will be missed.

Arizona Jones' daughter's artwork

I shared a bunch of my artwork in the past.  But I guess the apples don't fall too far from the tree.  Here is a thing my seventh grade daughter drew for a class project (some report about a famous person or people).  The most amazing thing is she did it in ONE day!  Sorry for the distorted image due to the camera angle.  This is a poster in size, done in pencil. 

Jethro Tull, Manchester, England, 2-05-1977 (soundboard)

There is a recording of this show PRRP054 that is around stating it is a soundboard that came from a road crew member.  Well, after comparing I would say this is not that recording.  In fact I believe this sounds far superior to that.

This was sent to me by Laker Crazy. If you go on the chat box at Bootleg Tunz World you will run into him there. This is a very fine recording.
