Quarantunes #21 with Raul Malo 🎶 The Sound of Silence

Hey everybody, hope you’re all staying safe and keeping healthy. Another Saturday night at home. I know we all wish we were somewhere else...doing anything. In the end we need to be grateful we are home and we are healthy. The only thing we are sick of in my house is each other. Of course we are. How can we not be? My family has never spent this much time with me in one stretch! Ever! (Remember I’m coming off of four months at home after my surgery in November) And then the pandemic! My family was already tired of me before Christmas! Luckily we still find ways to laugh and entertain ourselves. Fortunately there are a few musicians among us and we can entertain the “court” whenever it pleases.

For Quarantunes #21 we recorded this arrangement of Simon and Garfunkel’s Sound of Silence. The inspiration for this were those first heart stopping images of all the beautiful cities from around the world...streets empty, lonely boulevards, and rolled up sidewalks. No one praying in cathedrals to their Gods. No one enjoying a day in the park, or a table with a view...nothing.

For this recording and video I employed part of my “stay at home band” of Hector Tellez Jr on bass and Dino Malo on drums. We’re always jamming and recording and sometimes others in the house join us. (I’m not putting anyone on the spot). I’m just saying that others may be featured in future recordings. We’ll record more, learn a few songs, sing a little, play a little. Whatever it takes to get us through.

Tonight I’ll be talking to my buddy @Big Kenny TV at 7:00 PM Central on his Peace Love & Happy Hour Facebook Live on @Big & Rich. Kenny and I go way back. He’s one of my favorite people in this business and I look forward to catching up with him. Everyone stay healthy. Stay safe. Stay home. Take care of yourselves and each other…RM 🎸

Tune In 📺 Peace Love & Happy Hour 🥃 7PM CST Live on @Big & Rich!
