Tue, 19 Nov 2019 02:22:00 -0500

Sure, Wes is a Jazz legend who redefined the sound of guitar but this late-era gem is everywhere and not flying off shelves. If he was a punk rocker they may have called him a sellout at this point. Nonetheless, this Billboard-busting cash cow still has some magic to behold.

Synergy - Cords

Tue, 12 Nov 2019 01:55:00 -0500

Far before Synergy became a buzz word of self-parody in corporate culture, an outsider used the word to describe his one-man coup against the self-parody of his era—rock and roll. Guest Host Katy May brings Cords to the gang and we sort out what this is and where it came from.
