Grateful Dead & Allman Brothers - That's Alright Mama

Here are some YouTube links for the Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers, (probably just Dickey Betts), jamming on "That's Alright Mama" from 10/June/1973.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFmHhWiTjSs  -  that's the link I used.  There's about 30 seconds of nonsense at the beginning and end.

In case that doesn't work, here are links for two more videos which are most likely the same song/performance:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu_Mkadw0E4 -  actually this may be the best version to use, as the nonsense at the end is cut off.

A Kuya Selection - Kung Fu Panda Finger Family

Our older son, ("Kuya", in Tagalog), made this selection. 

If you have a child, you may know that there are many "Finger Family" videos out on YouTube.  This particular one is based on the Kung Fu Panda.

If that's not enough "Finger Family" silliness for you, you can watch over 30 minutes of this nonsense at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdqMi4nnpqE .  Ugh!

Robert Plant - New Version of 29 Palms Live (YouTube Link)

Here's a YouTube Link of a new version of 29 Palms Mr. Plant performed live in Austria back in 2006:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFapNUXkLrY .

It's not the greatest recording, and for part of it some silly lady is chirping in the background.  But still, I've never heard the song performed like this.  Cool, huh?

Best Way to Get Free Music!

Want to download MP3 music files for free?  The best way I've found to do this is to go to YouTube, find the song you like, then use one of the many YouTube to MP3 converter sites to create an MP3 file and download it.  (You can read more about this here: http://fullofknowledge.com/music/how-i-download-mp3-files-for-free/ .)

Currently the YouTube to MP3 converter site I use is http://www.youtube-mp3.org/.  I've had no problems with it, (no viruses or malware installed on my PC, at least not yet!), but y'all should know by now that if you're downloading anything from the internet, you need to have anti-virus software installed and running.

In future postings on this blog I'm simply going to list cool, (at least to me!), songs I've found on YouTube that you can download too!

Free Music Archive

Here's a site that looks promising:  the Free Music Archive, http://freemusicarchive.org/ .

The folks at WFMU are behind it, so I have high hopes for it.

The downloads are all free!  Check it out.

Fixing Up This Blog a Bit / Remember Legalsounds.com?

I'm gonna try to resurrect this blog.  First step was to give it a better look.

Next will be some ..... uh ...... CONTENT!!  Maybe once my life settles down a bit, (when?  in 20 years?), I'll have some time to putter around on here, if I'm not pushing up daises by then.

I used to download most of my MP3 files from a site called Legalsounds.com , but this past summer they closed up.  I haven't actively looked for a replacement yet, but I'm starting to get itchy to get some new music, so who knows?

I wrote a quick article about Legalsounds over at my favorite ranting site, www.postanyarticle.com .  If you curious, or bored, you can read all about it here: http://postanyarticle.com/feel-the-music/goodbye-legalsounds-com/ .

After Seven Years .... $3.00 !!!

I stuck AdSense on this blog, then promptly forgot about it. A few weeks ago I decided to sign up for HubPages, and to get paid there you need an AdSense account. I remembered the AdSense account connected to this blog, and logged on to it. And lo and behold! After seven, (yes, 7!), years, it had almost $3.00 in it!
