Grammy Awards-Tonight

So, not sure if this has been posted but my apologies if it has.

I'm not usually a big fan of the Grammy's. Too much crap I could just care less about.

But tonight, Bonny Raitt will be playing her D 55 in a tribute to her buddy John Prine. I plan to tune in.

Don't know much about American T.V., but just in case, is there a way to watch that for free online (I mean when not registered) ? I like Bonnie Riatt; she has a very nice touch and feel, especially when she plays slide guitar...And watching her playing her Guild live would be real cool...
But I don't have much hope though, coz in case it would be possible to watch her from here in Europe, it would be probably too late (or too early in the morning anyhow)...
Thanks for the info.

Just wait a day or two then look for her performance on youtube. That's what I'm doing, because the past several years most of the show has been filled with everything except actual musicianship. It's easier to watch only those artists you want to within a few days.

Thanks, very good idea...I will try that ! :smile-new:

Didn't watch and don't care that musicians as well as actors pat themselves on the back and self congratulate with awards. I bet I know very few of the musicians preforming and nominated.

A search for Bonnie Raitt Grammy turns up several links but they all just have a video of part of the performance.

Maybe YouTube have something in a couple days and then we can see if copyright claims keep it from being viewed outside of the US, in which case "we have ways..."

I'm glad John Prine was recognized.

I'm too restless to sit thru all the talking and posturing. Like others have mentioned, they don't spend a lot of time recognizing the music styles that I enjoy.

This showed up in my Facebook feed... Bonnie Raitt's performance (with what looks like a road worn F-50R):

A-yup, and that's not even her "baby" which has her name on the TRC and an F30 type bridge.

I saw pics of the so called musicians at work on the internet. Looked like it was Halloween and not a music event.

sailingshoes72 · Jan 27, 2020

Great photo, Al. I wouldn't have noticed the F-30 style bridge if you hadn't pointed it out. Look's like a Sunrise soundhole pickup.

Here's the video you all have been waiting for! (Don't know why it won't show.)

EDIT: Oops! Somehow I missed that Sailing Shoes had already posted this! (Should probably read all the posts!)

walrus · Jan 28, 2020

Thanks! That is definitely the highlight of the show! IMHO perhaps the only one.

An actual musician and singer performing a great song in a beautiful solo performance.
