Play It

...Acoustic style.

Play It is usually pop rock and classic rock in focus.  The artists vary as does genre by genre, but overall the core is rock.

In this post, I am focusing on acoustic country with an acoustic guitar brand inspired by Jeff Bridges and a banjo instrumental inspired by Steve Martin's passion.

With that said,

Duran Duran Rock Hall Induction 2022

In this edition of Set List Reader's Choice, your top favorite is Duran Duran's RRHOF induction acceptance speech with special honor to Andy Taylor.

In this special, the wild boys chose three songs to perform at the induction ceremony - "Girls on Film," "Hungry Like the Wolf," and "Ordinary World."  

You may want to have a sense of humor with "Girls on Film" because there was a technical glitch that paused Simon's start to the song.  When the laughter died down, off they went!

Stand on top of Planet Earth boys.  You did it!

In the recent edition of Friday Eve On zZounds, I shared text links highlighting blowout basses.  

In this post, I thought I would share images along with text that best showcase phenomenal bass guitars at a fraction of their original worth.

John Taylor of Duran Duran is known as "play that *f* bass."  You may say the same for your favorite bassist!

Friday Eve On zZounds - Blowout Bass Collection

Disclaimer - This post contains affiliate links and I may earn a small commission on any purchase made at no cost to you.

In this edition of Friday Eve On zZounds, I am opting for clearance rather than an elite pro instrumental collection - in this case, bass guitars.  Where the launch edition highlighted the Kramer guitar brand, this post will offer a variety.

Explore the overall blowout bass collection in full:

Singing In The Rain - Singing In The Rain (Gene Kelly) [HD Widescreen]

In this second edition of the Tuesday Iconic Film Score theme, tap dancing is likewise an iconic art form.  When I was very young, I took up tap dancing for a few years and was deeply inspired by Gene Kelly.  Of course, I now know only the basics but my love for the dance style remains always...just like my love for Singin' In The Rain.
