If you have not found this Internet web page, I highly recommend giving it a look see.
Live From Daryl's House is the Internet presence of Daryl Hall, lead singer of the group, Hall and Oates. He came up with this idea a few years ago, of having a monthly Internet show that celebrates music. I am totally into music, the watching the guests Daryl invites, come together along with his band and create music, is quite a wondrous thing. Yes, I am sure it's a bit of a vanity project, but that aside, it's always interesting, the music they create is always something worth listening to and sometimes you even find some other group, who you might want to check out.
All big wins in my book.
On a special note: I had been viewing these shows for maybe 5 or so months, when in February, one of Daryl's long time band members, Tom "T-Bone" Wolk passed away. This month is a tribute to his music and his life. I would suggest that if you do not know T-bone, you skip this one and instead watch from the beginning.
Let me know if you do, even if it's months from now.
I who love Hall & Oats, find this very worth it thanks. Since I have always love Hall & Oats, why didn't you tell me before??? :-)
ReplyDeleteInstead of a vanity project, I think of it as a generosity project :-) What musician offers high quality music, with videos and all to watch, for free? Especially the kind of musician we're talking about here, they're major artists, right? I like the variety in guests too and well, this stuff is what makes the internet worth its invention!
ReplyDeleteGina: How about a legacy project? It will outlive them all, showcasing their talent and love of music. BTW, I TOTALLY agree with you, it does indeed make the perfect vehicle for the Internet.
ReplyDeleteMartha: I think I sort of mentioned it one time in a phone call...but I guess it didn't sink in.
Gina: You will find this interesting...or not. :-)
Hall and Oates and the Moody Blues are both bands who have never been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Steely Dan always said that the Rock Hall was no judge of great music and they are so proven right again. Maybe Walter should give Daryl and John some pointers on how to execute an Internet campaign.
