"Carved In Stone..."



Is the name 

I will remember...

I know someone... that every time we would discuss music, I would talk about my favorite band... and every time I had a new favorite band... and I would... and I did...and she would call me out on it... 


ppffttt...

Somewhere in my Top Ten Favorite Band list is a group of guys who originated down in New Orleans... their music seems to be a blend of New Orleans Rhythm and Blues... folk music... cajun/zydeco and gospel... just to name a few..


The subdudes

Members of the band have included Tom Malone, John Magnie, Steve Amadee, Jimmy Messa, Tim Cook, and Johnny Ray Allen.

"Late At Night..."

You may not own a pair of dancin' shoes... but if your feet don't move to this song, something may be wrong with you...

Another one of my favorite subdude songs is this one...

"All The Time In The World..."


I really enjoy their music... they have great energy at their live performances...

It was interesting to me that I selected two live performances to share... but they are that good in concert that they can pull of the studio sound.

John Magnie, Tommy Malone, Steve Amedee, Johnny Ray Allen
original line up...

They originally broke up back in 1996, but would get together and play from time to time... I had read that they recently regrouped to play at a benefit for a deceased friend.. and that was the first time that Johnny Allen had played with them since they first dissolved back in '96.

Word leaked out that they had played... and there was enough interest generated that they decided to reform and are back out on the road touring... 




I was saddened to read today that Johnny Ray Allen 
died last Friday...

that made me think of this song...


'Carved In Stone...'

None of us get out of here alive...

as I told my doctor this afternoon,

"Life in itself is terminal..."

I want to share this song, just to leave this post on a positive note...

Wait for it...



It fades in...

... and, of course, you turned it up...

Loud...
