Song of the day, 29 Juni 2026

A week or two ago I went to see the Gregg Allman documentary Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul with my music doc viewing pal. Afterwards in the car on the drive home we discussed The Allman Brothers Band. I admitted that I enjoyed their post-1989 reunion stuff. Indeed, I have a soft spot for their 1994 effort Where It All Begins. The band is tight and the songs are tuneful with fine melodies and great soloing.

I really love "No One to Run With" with its Bo Diddley beat, a full and catchy percussion section, and insistent drive.

The Coda Collection comes to the big screen

Our local Marcus theaters will be screening The Coda Collection music series of films this summer. I just discovered that The Coda Collection is a streaming service of music-related documentaries and concert videos. Huh. I wonder if I can now stream Cocksucker Blues.

Here are the movies to be shown on the big screen over the coming months:

Home Again: Carole King Live in Central Park (May 17 and 21)
Music, Money, Madness...Jimi Hendrix in Maui (June 21 and 25)
The Allman Brothers Band: 40th Anniversary Show (July 19 and 23)
CREEM: America's Only Rock 'n' Roll Magazine (August 16 and 20)
Learning to Live Together: The Return of Mad Dogs & Englishmen (September 13 and 17)
