We wish everyone a belated Gung Hay Fat Choy this Sunday with some songs about humanity’s best friend to usher in The Year of The Dog. Listen out for the song about the proud dachshund, “Dixie the Tiny Dog,” by Peter Himmelman, and Neil Young’s “Old King.” And a rare airing of a deep Pink Floyd track: “Seamus” off Meddle.
Maybe you’d like to go see the greatest slide guitar-playin’ woman on the planet? I’ll tell you how to get in on Bonnie Raitt at City National Civic March 15th. Be sure to look at the Great Gigs list, also on the Acoustic Sunrise page, for a personally curated roster of Acoustic Sunrise-friendly performers coming to a club or hall near you!
