What do George Harrison, Michel Legrand, Leon Russell, Rodgers & Hart, and even yours truly, have in common with Randy California and Jimmy Page? The answer may be obvious when you hear some of the tunes I tackle at the top of today’s Update. Another topic of discussion was big artists rearranging some of their classic tunes, which sometimes is done by hiring some young gun virtuosos to do the heavy lifting on stage. Neil Diamond and Kenny Loggins are brought up as examples.

…OK, too cryptic? I hope you enjoy the News anyway.

New stuff this week included my solo version of The Last Time by The Rolling Stones and a short lesson on Taurus, and instrumental from the first Spirit album in 1968.

Catch you in July,
