The Fusion Reactor #156 - Dedicated To You

[moses]

At some point in their carrers, most every artist has written a song for someone or dedicated a song to them. Here's a show full of that type of song, heavy on the fusion-type songs.

Anthem For Andrea Coalition Of The Willing, The 6:09
Tune for Derrol Legg, Adrian 3:58
Song for Lynette Johnson, Eric 4:54
Blues For Miles Chick Corea Elektric Band 15:10
Slow Blues for Fuzy's Mama Fiuczynski, David & John Medeski 6:50
Song For Josiah Green, Keith 6:21
Waltz For Bill Kobayashi, Ron 4:56
Square For Maud National Health 11:50
Song For Devadip Santana, Carlos 4:55
Song for the Rainforest Zil 5:13
One for Newk Adderley, Cannonball 5:16
Blues for Gordon Fleck, Béla & the Flecktones 5:18
Lullaby for Joey Goodman, Jerry 5:41
One For Eric DeJohnette, Jack 9:43
Calypso For Grandpa Hunter, Charlie 3:42
Tones For Elvin Jones McLaughlin, John 6:36
(a) Island Of Rhodes; (b) Paper Boat - for Doris; (c) As If Your Eyes Were Open Gilgamesh 6:42
Tunic (Song For Karen) Sonic Youth 6:23

I wish I knew more about some of these. For example, "Josiah" is Keith Green's son, "Miles" is (obviously!) Miles Davis, and "Karen" and is Karen Carpenter - of all people. A strange tribute from a band like Sonic Youth. Most of the others, I have no idea.

Guess you can title this show "This Bud's for You."

Or how about Neil Young's "This Note's For You," as it's rather easy to share music over the internet, whereas beverages seem to get lost in the translation to the digital realm.
