Welcome to the Wednesday (EBD) edition of SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight’s musical selection is a two-song medley from Gram Parsons’ posthumously-released 1974 album Grievous Angel. On the first song, Cash On The Barrelhead, written by Alabamans Ira and Charles Loudermilk, aka Charlie and Ira Louvin, the Louvin Brothers, you can hear the talents of Parsons’ whip-crack recording band which included three former members of Elvis Presley’s band. On the second song, the beautiful, waltz-time Hickory Wind, written by Parsons and Bob Buchanan, Emmylou Harris provides the sweet harmony vocal.
Here then, without further ado, Gram Parsons sings his Medley Live From Northern Quebec.
You’re encouraged to slap your Reader Tips down on the barrelhead in the comments.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Michelangelo once said: “To create a sculpture just remove the unnecessary material”. Tonight, for your delectation, here is a Matsuura MAM72-63V machining a V8 engine block ¤ from a solid rectangular prism of aluminum (10:58). The cylinder-honing phase just cracks me up. I’ll tell you what, honey, they didn’t compute those trajectories by hand đŸ˜‰

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation and pursuant to lazy late-summer nights and to our love of this kind of saxophone music here in the studio, we present the great Wayne Shorter (whom you no doubt recall from our previous show featuring his work with the second Miles Davis quintet in the ’60s) performing his beautiful Apache solo, with Carlos Santana and the band, on their Supernatural tour (ca. 2000, 6:54).

Welcome to the Wednesday (EBD) edition of Late Nite Radio. Tonight we present the music of a true Canadian original, Salmon Arm B.C.’s unheralded Herald Nix. I was somewhat surprised to find a video because although Nix is a terrific live performer (for music, not banter) he’s also a notably modest, low-key, and rather austere fellow who by nature eschews the business and promotional side of things. Here it is, though, a video of a song of his from the 1995 release Open Up The Sky called Am I Beautiful.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation, here are Stanley Jordan on guitars, Charnett Moffett on bass, and Tommy Campbell on drums, performing Stanley’s Return Expedition ¤ & II ¤, at the Montreal jazz festival, in 1993. I must say that this performance does feature some strikingly skillful work by all three musicians. You won’t, if you like this sort of stuff, want to miss Charnett’s bass solo in part 1, or Tommy’s drum solo in part 2.
