We had a great time this morning watching our neighbor, singer, song writer, and poet, Randy Kaplan perform in front of a 100 strong crowd at McCabe's Guitar Shop on Pico. We missed a tune or so but caught the rest which included his new album title song Jam on Rye, Don't Fill Up on Chips, Crew Cut, No Nothing, I'm a Little Dinosaur, The Fire Engine, The Kid is All Id, Hockey Puck, Ode to a Shower Door, and, Grape Juice Hesitation Blues. I'm blanking on the tune about going to the super market, which I absolutely loved. Might have mentioned it above, just didn't know it. Much of Randy's music belends American Roots, Country Blues, and Comedic Storytelling. Kaplan speaks the truth as an artist! His speedy lyrics and sweet melodies keep you fully engaged and his little anecdotes between tunes can't help but make you laugh and smile. I don't write music reviews, but I do know that Randy is a true artist that connects on all levels as a singer song writer.
We loved being their to support our friend. My only regret was not taking more pictures from around the room, but I was so immersed in the music and experience. For all the parents out there, go buy his latest album, JAM ON RYE. Your kids, and you, will absolutely love it. And check out Randy on Sirius-XM Radio
Kids Place Live.
