Monday's Music Moves Me: Keep Counting

This week's theme on Monday's Music Moves Me is a freebie. I thought since last week's theme of songs with numbers in the title was fun I would continue on since I only got to 5.

Let's start the dance off with 6 and 7...

Robert Plant "Sixes and Sevens"

                                               The Beatles "Eight Days a Week"

                                                                       
                                               Follow the Beatles with a solo song from George Harrison "Cloud                                                           Nine"

                                               
                                          Otis Taylor "Ten Million Slaves"
                                               

                                       
                                         Primus "Eleven"

                                     
                                         Jimmy Buffett "Twelve Volt Man"
                                       

                                       

Hope you enjoyed and see you next time around!

                                         

Mountain Jam 2013 Lineup

Right now Hunter Mountain in New York is a snow covered ski resort. Come June 6-9, 2013 Hunter Mountain will be the home of the 9th Annual Mountain Jam Music Festival. Isn't it great in the dead of winter we can talk about the warmer weather and music festivals.

Well the initial lineup for the 9th Annual Mountain Jam includes:

Phil Lesh and Friends

Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh is playing the festival with some friends with one of his favorite side bands.The band features Warren Haynes and John Scofield on guitars. Joe Russo will compliment Lesh on drums and Jeff Chimenti rounds out the band on keyboards.
