Notes from The Rock and Roll Preacher: Nothing on the TV ...

Nothing on the TV ...

... but I'm not bored. I've gathered up some DVD's for the summer. Here's what's on my list so far:

Jerry Lee Lewis, Live from Austin
Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story
Lightning in a Bottle: A One Night History of the Blues
Atlantic Records: The House that Ahmet Built
Blues Brothers I and II (2000)
Hustle and Flow
Great Balls of Fire
Jerry Lee Lewis, Last Man Standing
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Crossroads (yeah, the Ralph Macchio movie)
Ray
Walk the Line
Elizabethtown
Almost Famous

... and of course, This Is Spinal Tap (got it for $4.99)

I've seen 80% of these discs before, but I'd like to pay them another visit. Plus, I've got a ton of guitar "instructional" videos to wade through, including Arlen Roth's Masters of the Telecaster and a couple Redd Volkaert videos.

Any recommendations?

For your listening pleasure, I'm really pleased with Mothership, which I downloaded from iTunes. It's a great Led Zeppelin anthology.

Also ... last week, I collected about three dozen Stax sides. I'd love to compare favorites.

Hard Rubber (HNIC Anthem)

Nothing will ever replace the old Hockey Night in Canada theme song, but I felt it was my patriotic duty to enter Hard Rubber into CBC's anthem challenge. Press the play button (above) or check out Hard Rubber being featured on Larry Updike's morning show on CJOB!

Tune into Larry's show weekday mornings from 5:30-9:00 a.m. on 680 AM or www.cjob.com.

Guitar players! Here's a free transcription of Hard Rubber.
