Had some good times listening to #GeorgieFame at the Flamingo. It was well named. The Flamingo was a vivid place. I think Georgie might have been born on a piano stool, he was so comfortable at the keys from such a young age.

#GeorgieFame, outside the Flamingo Jazz Club, Wardour Street, London, [1965]

@jyoung_95 He had charisma to burn, didn't he?

[Wes McGhee @wes_mcghee]

Looking forward to this. #JesseGuitarTaylor was a force to be reckoned with.

@westburtonlad Seems like time well spent, to me.

[Michael McKean @MJMcKean]

Cure almost anything. Prine.

[Wes McGhee @wes_mcghee]

Nice idea. Though Willie's got a few good tunes of his own.

[Kate Elliott @kteltowers]

@westburtonlad @wes_mcghee Still sounds gorgeous, doesn't it? Neon and Dust...The Boys in the Band...
When is #WillieNelson going to cut those songs, eh? (Not that he'd do them better than our Wesley. 🌵

[Wes McGhee @wes_mcghee]

@westburtonlad @kteltowers It may be 30 years, but we all still look as fresh as a daisy, don't we?
😂

[Wes McGhee @wes_mcghee]

@westburtonlad Thanks man. We had too much fun making that record. Glad someone else likes it too!

Sad news. #PontyBone was a lyrical, exciting musician. Proud to have shared a stage with him. God be with you my friend. Playback: Friday the 13th Reaps Austin Music https://t.co/PTS9HySuAO via @austinchronicle

[Wes McGhee @wes_mcghee]

Must we say goodbye to #PontyBone? A sweeter man you just couldn't meet.
The good stuff you hear on my Heartache Avenue, Border Guitars and Backbeat was Ponty. They were always good times......

Thanks to these lads I quit school in my early teens and headed to #Hamburg to play guitar for a slew of rock & roll bands there. It was a pretty good apprenticeship.....got me into a bit of trouble over the years. #RingoStarr #Beatles https://t.co/j6TxPuJ4tL

Has there been a group whose members sounded sweeter together than #TheBand? They might as well have hatched from the same egg. https://t.co/vwxxrGXIlc

50 years ago today, The Band released 'Music From Big Pink' ... and it haunts us still. https://t.co/h4Loq3Xg7H

Macondo.
(A little literary reference for the #GarcíaMárquez fans among you)
Enjoyed putting this track together. That's me on Spanish guitars, mandolins, percussion and bajo sexto.

@BobLivingston I have been called much worse...
