And Now a Song from Jim Messina
To go along with my Kenny Loggins post below, it just so happens on the same day (today), Jim Messina posted a working copy of a new song on his Facebook page. I am impressed with his interaction with the fans there and really enjoyed listening to something fresh out of his studio! He’s another huge musical influence for me (Loggins and Messina, as well as solo).
Warm-up With Kenny
Just found this cool, short little behind-the-scenes clip from Kenny Loggins
Pick One!
I was reflecting after that last show we did at the Desert Diamond Casino in Sahuarita how I didn’t have to use any extra picks that I always have placed in waiting on a guitar stand specifically for “emergency-drop” situations. I played the whole show with one pick! (with the exception of course of my customary pick throw during a rousing rendition of Joe Walsh’s Not one pick fumble during the show! Wow, I was ON! << (not verbose bragging, but a hint of the quasi-humor you could only expect to read more of on this site). Now on other shows, man, my butterfinger-edness in is full effect! The plastic is FLYING! Hmmm, interesting. One show I’m batting (or “picking”) a perfect game and others, a fumbling fool! Whatever the case with a smile, ALWAYS with a smile. That’s show biz! Photo Note: I found this photo of myself with an actual, heavy gauge pick in my mouth in Albany, NY, 2009. A big yearly show (“Alive At 5″ I think they call it) they do there was moved under a huge highway underpass due to weather, hence the strange location. If there are guitar player/performers out there please feel free to share your pick fumbling stories!

We’ve all heard it and we’ve all sung it and that’s what makes “it’s a small world” one of the most translated and performed songs on earth. Richard and Robert Sherman are the talented brothers who wrote the famous tune that you can’t get out of your head. You’ve probably also heard their other wonderful pieces of work throughout Disneyland park – past and present: Enchanted Tiki Room, Carousel of Progress, Adventures Through Space, as well as a long list of Disney motion-picture musical scores that includes “Mary Poppins,” “The Jungle Book,” “Bedknobs and Broomsticks,” “The Aristocats” and “Winnie the Pooh.”
Next week the Sherman Brothers will be given one of the most prestigious honors that a Disney cast member can receive, a window on Main Street U.S.A. at Disneyland park.
In the attached video, enjoy a look back at these talented brothers singing with Walt Disney himself.
