And Jeff Beck and Imogen Heap got us started on a live cut titled, Blanket.
And there you have it, there it is.
Time to turn up the house lights and send you on your way till next week, but until then as always, be safe, be kind and may all your Fridays be filled with music.
I’m your host for Friday Music Tim McCormack and from California our show is beautifully executively produced by my boy Collin McCormack.
We’re gonna finish up today by going back to the year 1968 to give a listen to James Carr and his take on a great old standard, The Dark End Of The Street.
So until next time round Collin and I wish you a bodacious Friday and peace y’all!
