"And the poolhalls, the hustlers, and the losers
Used to watch 'em through the glass"

Makes me melancholy.

We sure could use some of Sly's wisdom these days.

Whoever had the idea. Thumbs up!

I didn't know that. I first heard this on the music fusion show, Crossroads. I was on the floor laughing, but it really works.

I know. Same here as I’ve listened to BG covers of everything from AC/DC to Snoop Dog and it does work. You can tell these folk are enjoying themselves. If you’re not aware, there’s a Series of albums called Pickin’ on, where contemporary artists are covered bluegrass style, from Buffett to Zeppelin. Some not too bad.

I remember a group called Hayseed Dixie that was pretty popular for awhile doing AC/DC tunes. I've always kind of liked these alternative takes on things. In the 80s, there used to be a group called Dred Zeppelin that did reggae covers of Zep tunes, and the Kronos Quartet, a string ensemble that covered rock, like Hendrix and Cream.

Always loved that one. Their entire debut album was pretty fantastic.
