Friday 5:05: Don Ross, “Upright and Locked Position”

This isn’t exactly rock and roll, but it has a nice, cruising-down-the-road-gonna-see-my-baby- tonight feel to it, which is what Friday 5:05 is all about. Definitely Michael Hedges inspired.

Friday 5:05: Pat Metheny, “Phase Dance”

You gotta hand it to a guy who plays so hard he has to put his guitar in a clamp stand. But that’s what Pat Metheny is doing here at the beginning of this video from 1977. That would have been the first year he ventured out on his own with the Pat Metheny Group, […]
