...wonder if some actual music might sneak by the producers tonite...than at least they could move this thread to the Music section

Well, it was pretty good. I guess if you like today's music, it was enjoyable, if not....prolly not.

Some nice moments, some disappointments for me.

Nice time out for a tribute to Les Paul. The vocalist did a nice job on How High the Moon.

Also an award went to Harold Bradley.

Anybody know who was playing the white LP on the Nicks/Swift
spot?

Jerry that was Waddy Wachtel who played with Ronstadt,James Taylor Stevie Nicks and everyone else in L.A. in the 70's,I think that he's original from Queens N.Y.

Yeah, thanks Stu. I recognized the face, but couldn't put a name with it. 'Preciate it.

Nice job!

Didn't she win 'Album of the Year', not just 'country album...'?

My first reaction was to roll my eyes

, then I remembered that I hadn't yet listened to it!!! Talk about prejudice!

Thanks, Rick - I was switching back and forth (instead of practicing like I need to be doing!), so missed any introduction.

I thought it looked like him, but seemed too young(!!!) That was a nice spot, I thought.

I'm personally underwhelmed by all the production 'visuals', but there was certainly some fine music in places. I heard a snatch of great guitar-playing that was clearly on tape and used as background to something-or-other. Frustrating! An anonymous donor!!!

Cool Roger! I was lucky enough to accidentally channel surf right right to it at the beginning of How High the Moon. After that I quit while I was ahead. Although I did briefly surf back just in time to see Quentin Tarrantino act like a goofball to give some props to the great Clark Terry. I thought that was cool until they quickly switched gears to some crappy-rap-crap.

Speaking of How High the Moon, you should've heard Earnest Bovine nail it on steel in a Les Paul medley at the Phoenix Steel show!!!

Beck was incredible. He was using an old Tweed Deluxe, I believe, and with his Les Paul the tone was glorious.

Yes, well - Doug scares the life out of me! Having said that, you make me pretty nervous, too.

Is there something in the water over on that side of the country???

My favorite Grammy moment was the one that didn't happen. Kanye didn't show up.

Ron Whitfield · Post by **Ron Whitfield** » 1 Feb 2010 9:49 am

I heard some of the tune that got Beyonce her accolades. Pure drivel, and not good drivel either.

Roger Rettig · Post by **Roger Rettig** » 1 Feb 2010 9:57 am

Well, she's not my cup-of-tea but she sounds to me to be a very skilled singer.

Chris LeDrew · Post by **Chris LeDrew** » 1 Feb 2010 10:02 am

I'm not up on MJ news and trivia, but are those kids really Michael Jackson's offspring? The resemblance is...well...not striking.

She probably is, too bad they don't go for quality song writing and backup music to give her real cred. But, that's today's disposable big bux music world for ya.
