I alway renew. No doubt I question the value of being a member every time but I always renew. They have given us a few special things over the years, my favorite being that time they posted all of those videos of Mike telling stories about his guitars. Loved that!  

The thing I love most about this is the friends I've met and the times we've spent together. All the concerts and vacations together all over the country. That is something I'll never forget as long as I live. Thank you my friends, I love you and hope to see you soon.

I saw a Seiko wall clock about 3 or 4 years ago and it plays songs and chimes every hour or 1/2 hour at Sam's Club for about $100. It played 12 Traditional songs, 6 Christmas songs and 6 Beatle songs! Checking it out at different stores, they were $300 to $400!!!! I showed it to my family and put it on my Christmas list, never to see or hear about it again. The next year another clock came out with different songs (no Beatles either) and the same happens every year with a new clock. Last week I went to Sam's and they had the clock with Beatle tunes for $100 and I again told the WD to add it to my list. When I got home I had an email from Sam's and the clock was $80 plus free shipping to my home, so I ordered it!!! I'll put it away til Christmas in case someone buys me one (I doubt it), so we'll see. Either way I'll have one. This thing even has an electric eye so it won't chime or play music after dark that will wake you up!! Also has volume control and more. I'll try to post pix, vids and link to buy it here if you are interested. Check it out.

I sold one of my houses and it closes today, so I'm waiting for the gas company to call and meet them there for the final gas reading. I also am waiting for a delivery of a 10 foot by 22 foot rubber mat for my garage floor. I bought 2, but one came in the wrong color so I had to return it and order a new one. And I'm waiting for electricians to get here to install a new LED security light on the back of my house. So, I've been sitting here waiting since 8am. I hope to get all this done by noon!!!!

Get things ready for tomorrow...and do 'homework' with my Malaika. Last night was her first Therapy Dog Class.

I learned who Leonard Cohen was because of Tom Petty and my education listening to the Buried Treasure show!  Leonard will be missed. 🙁

Listen for Tom Petty's tributes to Leon Russell and Leonard Cohen over the next couple of days on Tom Petty Radio!

Wow! Sometimes I love the internet!
The guy on the right at the intro went on to present the EuroTrash TV show on Channel 4 in the 90's in the UK....
 

I came across this this morning.  It looks to be very interesting.  Starts on Monday here in Chicago.  Here's the trailer"   http://soundbreaking.com/
PBS Presents SOUNDBREAKING: STORIES FROM THE CUTTING EDGE OF RECORDED MUSIC to Premiere at SXSW
ADELE IS ONE OF MORE THAN 150 ARTISTS FEATURED IN SOUNDBREAKING © Courtesy of Sony Music Archives Produced in association with the late Sir George Martin, the series features over 150 artists, including Paul McCartney, Bonnie Raitt, RZA and many more sharing behind-the-scenes stories in a music-driven celebration of the art of recording New Eight-hour Television Series Debuts in November 2016 on PBS
ARLINGTON, VA; March 14, 2016 – Music and film lovers at South by Southwest® will be the first to get a sneak peek at SOUNDBREAKING: STORIES FROM THE CUTTING EDGE OF RECORDED MUSIC, an upcoming eight-episode PBS series that explores the extraordinary impact of recorded music on the modern world.  SOUNDBREAKING was the last project produced by legendary music producer Sir George Martin who passed away on March 8.  The series combines unprecedented access to some of the most celebrated music artists, producers and innovators with rare archival studio footage and an extensive musical soundtrack, to deliver one of the most wide-ranging series on the art of music recording. SOUNDBREAKING will broadcast on PBS stations weekdays from November 14-23, 2016 at 10:00 p.m. ET (check local listings).  The first two of its eight one-hour episodes will premiere at South by Southwest®(SXSW) in Austin, Texas with screenings on March 14, 16 and 17 as part of the Festival’s “24 Beats Per Second” line-up.
 
Charting a century's worth of innovation and experimentation in the creation of music, SOUNDBREAKING offers a behind-the-scenes look at the birth of brand new sounds.  From the invention of the microphone to the Moog synthesizer, from the phonograph to digital streaming, SOUNDBREAKING moves between past and present to tell the stories behind the sounds, and reveals how innovation redefined not only what we listen to and how we listen to it, but our very sense of what music is and can be.  Fast-paced and music-driven, viewers of all ages will hear the songs they love in a whole new way.
“SOUNDBREAKING gives viewers a backstage pass with full access to some of the most ground-breaking moments in recorded music,” said Beth Hoppe, Chief Programming Executive and General Manager, General Audience Programming at PBS. “It is a natural fit for our diverse, music-loving PBS audience. We look forward to sharing it with viewers in November, and we’re excited to give the SXSW community a first glimpse.”
The eight-episode series features over 150 exclusive and original interviews, including: Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Joni Mitchell, Roger Waters, Roger Daltrey, Linda Perry, Barry Gibb, Elton John, Debbie Harry, Quincy Jones, B.B. King, Annie Lennox, Dave Stewart, Mark Knopfler, Tom Petty, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, Lindsey Buckingham, Rosanne Cash, Don Was, Steven Van Zandt, Sheila E, Questlove, Ben Harper, Billy Idol, Beck, Imogen Heap, Darryl McDaniels, RZA, Bon Iver, Nile Rodgers, Nigel Godrich, Q-tip, Brian Eno, Mark Ronson, Rick Rubin, Tony Visconti and more.
“Music is the only common thread and universal language that binds us together regardless of race, nationality, age or income. And, recorded music is how we experience it and what makes it accessible,” Sir George Martin said of the project prior to his passing.  The six-time GRAMMY® Award winner and recipient of the Recording Academy Trustees Award, and producer of more than 50 number-one hit records added, “SOUNDBREAKING afforded me the opportunity to tell the story of the creative process of so many of the artists I have worked with throughout my life.”
SOUNDBREAKING is presented by Higher Ground in association with the late Sir George Martin, and produced and directed by Emmy and Peabody Award®-winning filmmakers Maro Chermayeff and Jeff Dupre of Show of Force (Half the Sky, A Path Appears, Carrier, Circus, Marina Abramovic The Artist is Present).  The television series is the centerpiece of a multi-platform project that includes an extensive educational outreach initiative in partnership with PBS, The GRAMMY Museum® at L.A. LIVE and The Rock and Roll Forever Foundation.  An interactive website, companion DVD/home video series, soundtrack CD, and companion book with stunning photographs and unique interviews, will accompany the SOUNDBREAKING series.
“It took a wonderful team of highly seasoned producers many years to create this special and utterly unique series that we know the PBS audience will love,” said Maro Chermayeff, Partner at Show of Force.  “With access to rare material from the vast music archives of major and independent record labels as well as special archival sources and collections, including some never publicly seen behind-the-scenes footage, this series breaks new ground and is frankly just incredibly fun to watch.”
“As a co-creator, Sir George Martin was the inspiration and intellectual force behind the Soundbreaking project,” said Higher Ground founder David Langstaff.  “He was involved with all phases of the project and was immensely proud of the way these great stories were being told. The fact that so many extraordinary singers, songwriters, producers, and other artists came together to tell their stories is a testament to the respect and love they hold for Sir George, and the widespread recognition of his impact on the evolution of recorded music.”
 
Organized thematically, each episode of SOUNDBREAKING tells stories of pop music icons using their determination, ingenuity and guts to create works of art that have touched us all. Stories within the episodes include:
- George Martin and the Beatles' groundbreaking work in the studio creates a new paradigm for pop music
- Phil Spector's rise as the first 'rock star producer'
- Paul Epworth's collaboration with Adele on "Rolling in the Deep"
- Stevie Wonder embraces the synthesizer and makes a break with Motown
- Giorgio Moroder fuses R&B with electronica and the dance floor explodes
- The art of sampling gives rise to hip hop
- Michael Jackson and Madonna take the art of the music video to new heights
- Miles Davis and Marvin Gaye use the long-playing record for new kinds of expression

Thanks for posting! To be honest I uploaded it yesterday and wanted to share with the world on 9th of  November... but it's OK anyway. I want more and more people to watch it so you can share it if you like with hashtag #TomPetty40.
I'm glad you like it, it took me some time to do it but I'm satisfied with final result.

Here are the titles of new songs that Benmont played at McCabe's show:
"Under The Starlight"    "I Will Not Follow You Down"   "Homesick"    "Dallas"   "Like Crystal"   "Dreaming of Arkansas"
Plus one additional cover song:  "I Can Hear Music"

How fun!  Yes, I saw Robbie and Nancy!  Loved it!  It does bring a tear to the eye.  It's true love! ❤️

Hi Lisa!  Happy to see you here!  

Thanks for posting here, Beth.  They have both been heavy on my mind today.  I hope we hear something soon!  Please let us know if you do.
 
 

There was a tiny little response on Lisa's FB page this morning just saying they are both still in the hospital but separate hospitals. I think I will try to call around this weekend and see if I can find out more. I'm so worried for them!  Lisa is the very first TPATH fan I met in person like 16 years ago.  😟

She and Paul are both in a rehabilitation center and they are expected to be there recovering until Thanksgiving.  LRed called and spoke to Lisa  and she was in good spirits.  She said to tell everyone hi!  
This is what happened as posted by a relative of Lisa and Paul.
It was a storage building w/ loft. The loft fell on them and a friend. The friend was able to get free. A sister called the emts, the friend got a crow bar, lifting a beam up enough for Lisa to be able to breathe. EMT's cut the loft in 2 to be able to get Lisa out. Took emts 6 minutes to get there. That's how long the friend held up the beam. God had His hand on this accident.

Isn't it?  You never know what freaky event might happen in life, day to day.  It's best to enjoy every day we have!

I heard it today and I thought it was really good!  I forgot to set the recorder last night so I'll try to catch it another time to share. Like The Woods, they will probably play it pretty often.  Hey, maybe Benmont will play it on his show today!

I hate that "FALL BACK" time too Marion. They should reverse it to make the short winter days longer!!!
