Cory's show is a masterclass on how to film a live band. They always have a camera dynamically respond to a great part by any of the musicians. When Sammy plays a great bass line you can see the cameraman adjusting to show his part. When Ptar responds to the solo, there is a cameramen there to catch that. Legendary!

Not to shit on your compliment - but in some ways, I don't understand how people can get it so wrong. Surely anyone filming music would know what music should be shown? However I know this isn't the case, from hearing the commentary of Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense: they said that they had to tell the director and editors when to cut to the musicians doing the interesting parts. Like, really? I know film and music is different and I come from a musical bias/background, but still... However, something I will add that was really nice - in J.A.M. when guy from Chromeo sings "It's blurry with my glasses on" and the video was blurry - this pleased me very much. 🤗 Keep up the great work, team!

He's no spring chicken, and he's been playing professionally for years. He once played with Prince. But I wouldn't be surprised if he occasionally took local country music money gigs, too. Those gigs are always available - club owners just LOOOOOVE that country music, because cry-in-your-beer music makes people want to buy lots of beer to cry into.

@@andrewm9162 Hey, Jimi Hendrix played guitar solos that sounded like Hendrix on an upside-down guitar. It's all a matter of what you're used to. And, of what you started on - and if you're a lefty but your dad or big brother isn't, and his guitar was lying around the house when you were a kid..... The Allman Brothers similarity isn't surprising - since their music was strongly jazz-influenced, they might have been the first C&W artists that Sonny really listened to.

When they were standing on stage playing together at Carnegie Hall, she now a grown woman, I choked up. It was such a beautiful moment seeing them on that stage after that tiny festival stage several years ago.

LOVED•EVERY•MINUTE of this show with Sierra Hull. I must agree with Cory that she is one of the nicest people. Anyone who has a problem with her character, obviously has insecurity issues. She’s intelligent, gorgeous, extremely gifted and talented as a musician and vocalist, witty and sweet as pie. To Cory and The Wongnotes, you will never read any criticism coming from me. I applaud every single one of you for all of your hard work, and dedication to your passion and profession. The music and shows that you produce are incredibly awesome, keeping me in tears from laughter; to rhythmically jamming to your beats; to being totally engaged to an interview. I’m old-school and everything you do, reminds me of the variety shows from back in the day. So I want to express a heartwarming THANK YOU, for blessing me with your kindness, gifts and talents.♥️🎸🎷🎺🎹🪘🥁🎤BRAVO 👏🏼👏🏼

You know what weird thing just popped into my head (probably because of mandolin) and I feel like in some way would be incredible... a Larkin Poe collab. I have no idea what song would come out of it but Cory has this knack for letting featured artists energy and sauce ooze through the over arching Wonginess. I think it would be super rad. Rebecca's big powerful voice lent to a more funky atmosphere and Megan adding her signature slidey flavour.
