I have this playlist on my laptop called “Mix: Home Listening.” It’s currently at 1,331 songs. When our family is just hanging around the house, or especially when Kristi and I cook, we put that playlist on shuffle and just hope for the best. Well, not really, since everything in that playlist is hand-picked.
There are some evenings when my wife and I will look at each other and just wish we could have that same mix of music that just came up to enjoy later on. So, some time ago, I started keeping track of some of the evenings we really liked and I started making mixes of them for the car or just to re-play. We don’t replay them often, but since I have several of them, I thought: why not share them with my Holiday at the Sea online friends and family.
I do pick the first song but from then on out, it’s all shuffle. We’ve been making these mixes about an hour to an hour-and-a-half since that’s what will fit on a blank CD. So, it has to be on shuffle and play good songs for at least an hour. If I skip a song, then the whole mix is thrown out.
I’m not sure how many of these mixes I will end up posting, but I’ve got several ready to go, so I figured that now is as good a time as any. I hope you enjoy and that these songs accompany as many good family times for you as they have for us.
Enjoy.

You know what they say: “Don’t read the books if you don’t want to know.”
OK, I’ve never heard anyone actually say that, but I’ve been reading a lot of Grateful Dead material lately. I read Phil Lesh’s book, then Billy’s book, and now I’m reading Garcia: An American Life. Anyway, Billy’s book left me conflicted. On one hand, you read the book to hear the thoughts of the people involved, and then sometimes you’re sorry you did.
But whatever I may have thought of the book of the personality Billy projected through it, he has been behind the drumkit for some of my most favorite music ever. Bill Kreutzmann recently celebrated his 75th birthday with a string of three live-streamed show with his band Billy and the Kids. Two of those shows have appeared at the Live Music Archive and are definitely worth your time and I wish him nothing but the best and I wish everyday was Bill Kreutzmann’s birthday, because all of this is great.
As if Billy on drums, Reed Mathis on bass and Billy Strings wasn’t enough, how about saxophone?! No? Still not enough? How about appearances from Santana?! If that’s not enough, you’re in the wrong place. Anyway, here’s the two live sets from the Archive and some videos that I’ve been hanging out with.

Here’s a fun little playlist to celebrate Serendipity.
Let me explain: My name is Brent and I love the Grateful Dead. So it makes perfect sense to lead off this mix with the Dead rehearsing with Brent in April 1979 right before his first tour with them.
And, not only is my name Brent and I love the Grateful Dead, I love the music of Miles Davis. So much so that Miles Davis is one of the reasons we named our oldest son Miles. So it makes perfect sense to include Miles Davis playing at the Fillmore West; a bill shared with none other than the Grateful Dead. You can watch video here.
OH, and if all that wasn’t enough, I was born in 1973! Not in Summer, but still, the Dead jamming with Brent for a song named after my birth year, how could I not include it here?!
So we have two tracks from the Dead and Brent rehearsing, two tracks of wild Miles opening for the Dead. Then, we wrap things up with the drums/space segment (except I reversed them here) from Dead and Co. in Phoenix, AZ, 2017. Because, guess what: WE WERE THERE!
So here’s a mix of out there stuff with inward significance. This playlist is not for everyone. But if you know, you know. Ya dig?
Setlist:
“Booji Boy's Bad Trip (Drums, Space, Feedback)” by the Grateful Dead
“Miles Runs The Voodoo Down” by Miles Davis
“Summer of ‘73” by the Grateful Dead
“It’s About That Time” by Miles Davis
“Space/Drums” by Dead and Co.

Shabaka and The Ancestors :: Live at the NTS Live at Jazz Cafe (2017). Sorry, I don’t know much else about this show. The Youtube page doesn’t include any further information or setlist.
Oh well.
Enjoy.
EOTO is the electronic improvisational duo of Michael Travis and Jason Hann (Both of String Cheese Incident). Sonic Bloom is a CO music festival. This was 2014. It’s all live and improvised, so I don’t think there’s a setlist. That’s about all I know. You?
“The full live set video was premiered on the evening before the annual Piano Day worldwide celebrations (March 29th). The motivation to make the recording of the live performances which became the release ‘Live from Studio S2’ came from the invitation from the Berlinale Film Festival.”
Hania says:
“I decided to rearrange some of my favourite songs, which I have been performing live for years. Recorded live and captured in the iconic Studio S2, one of the recording studios of Polish Radio in Warsaw. The hall is fully covered with light wood, which reminds me of other Radio Studios all around the world - like Funkhaus in Berlin for example. There is a kind of intimacy when playing the little piano in this huge and also very high venue.”
Setlist:
Hawaii Oslo
Glass
Leaving
Buka
Important People and Facts:
The session was filmed by Rani’s long time collaborators - Mateusz Miszczyński, recorded by Agata Dankowska, mixed by Piotr Wieczorek and mastered by Zino Mikorey. Recorded live on the 4th of February 2021 in Warsaw.
I have no idea who/what GrooveTV was/is, but I do know that I dig early 00’s STS9 set from The Catalyst in Santa Cruz, CA; 12/5/02.
I’ll be honest and say that this is not a band I know well, nor have I really followed them much beyond the little pocket of shows I’ve heard. So, I don’t know if the setlist is correct or not, but one of the YouTube comments lists:
Setlist:
Satori, ?, Grow, New song > Tap In, Baraka II: Moonsockets, ?, STS9 Ramone > Eb > Emiglio E: Circus, What is love?
You know it’s good when it includes a “?”. Some of you may know more details about this show, and I’m glad to hear them if you do. But otherwise, just enjoy.
