#Shoe Suede Blues

[thislovintime]

A quick edit of Peter Tork, the multi-instrumentalist.

“‘When it comes to business and doing my job, I’m serious. Most of the time I’m out to have fun because you can’t survive in this business without a positive attitude.’ […] Tork also displayed his musical skills during the On Stage show by bouncing from the keyboards to guitar to banjo.” - article by Anthony A. Rocha, The Saginaw News, March 8, 1980

1950's

Hard to believe it's been a year of sharing music, and I’ve only posted one track by the wild and brilliant Hasil Adkins!

Therefore, today I'm bringing you a triple dose of 'Blue Suede Shoes' with Hasil's gritty, unforgettable cover, Elvis' iconic version and Carl Perkins' original.

“You know, I’ve always wanted one of them orange Gretsches with a big ‘G’ stamped on it. I finally got one—my wife [Olivia] got me the one I used on the Carl Perkins program for Christmas a couple of years ago—except it didn’t have a ‘G’ on it.” - George Harrison, Guitar Player, November 1987 (x)

“[Shoe Suede Blues] help[ed] construct a house in Vernon, N.J., for Habitat for Humanity, on Tuesday and yesterday.” - The Montclair Times, July 13, 2000 “‘We’ve all got to stick together or we’re all going to come unglued.’ [Peter] noted a drive for only one’s own fortune is at the expense of others. ‘Without community, the individual is dead.’” - The Life, May 3, 1996 “Now, the business of wresting power away from those who make a specialty of wielding it will be a long and protracted struggle, with a lot of setbacks along the way. The outlines of the new style of governance are only dimly perceivable, and won’t become clear for a long time to come. In the meantime, our job is to practice the principles of fairness and service to the extent possible. One thing is clear: there is a much higher joy in service than there is in acquisition of wealth. (Remember that it isn’t money that’s the root of all evil, it’s the love of money.) Hanging together in brother - and sisterhood is so happy-making you want to sing right out loud. Yeah, I feel the same about those ideas as I did then…in case you couldn’t tell. heheheh, Peter” - Ask Peter Tork
