I Can’t Help But Wonder Where I’m Bound
At one time, Tom Paxton was a well-known name in the 60s folk scene, and a really good craftsman of songs. Here’s one of my favorites.

Obsessed by Anji
Monday morning, besotted by Anji. I must have listened to over twenty versions of this great guitar instrumental by Davy Graham. It’s considered a rite of passage for any serious guitar player. There have been many variations of it, the most notable ones being that of Bert Jansch and Paul Simon. I really like this very clean version I found by Hiroshi-muchi-Moto. You can really hear the bass line almost as a separate instrument.

A Backstage Peek
This was really fun to watch. This guy, Josh Turner, is not only a great guitar player, but he is just so creative and knowledgeable on the back end of things as well. He writes and records a song in one hour, and shows you his process. Just his closetful of mics alone was worth the price of admission. Hilarious and scary!

Guitar God: Tommy Emmanuel
Monday morning, a virtuoso. True, it’s basically three and a half minutes of showing off, but Tommy Emmanuel kind of has the right to do all the showing off he wants. “Classical Gas” by Mason Williams.

Rita Payés: Nunca Vas A Comprender

Suzanne
Monday morning, we give thanks that we were born into the time of Judy Collins singing Leonard Cohen’s “Suzanne,” as perfect a match between singer and song as there will ever be. Here she is at Tanglewood in 1968.

Monday morning, an old classic covered impeccably. The Belfast band, Dea Matrona, consisting of Mollie McGinn and Orlaith Forsythe, makes me realize just how good this song sounds with female voices.

Monday morning, crack guitar player, singer, songwriter, and videomaker Mary Spender takes us behind the scenes to her castle, as she gives us a backstage explanation of how she put together her Romeo-and-Juliet influenced music video with zero crew.
