Coffee Music Live

My Sister-in-law, Rika, guests in the virtual coffeehouse today, singing one of my favorites, What a Wonderful World (Bob Thiele, George Douglas, George David Weiss).

My nephew, RJ, is a very good drummer. He's more used to a full kit, but was over today and good enough to humor me by playing my doumbek on Al Neiburg/Ellis Reynolds's I'm Confessin' (That I Love You).

Young Turk Ian Biley shakes things up at the coffeehouse with Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode."

After we finished Johnny B Goode, Ian Biley joined me in a blues jam over "Key to the Hiughway."

A very special guest today: my Dad, Walter H Kranz (1913-1994).

I had just purchased an 8mm camcorder and caught my Dad playing the song he wrote for my Mom when they first dated in Oklahoma City.

Cousin Syd sent in some superb guest videos from the historic Blue Bird Cafe in Nashville.

Here are his friends Tom Manning, Age McCann and Susan Marshall. The song is called "Pourin'"
