Jenkins ‘Africa’ Toto Video

‘Africa’ by Toto Video

‘Africa’ Cover On The Stylophone


Video – Stylophone, A Pocket Synth

Check out this simple video of @joejenkins titled Jenkins “Africa” by Toto Video, covering Toto’s song “Africa” on the stylophone.

First off, Joe can play just about anything, guitar, piano, and now the stylophone. Add the stylophone to the list of instruments this talented musician can play. And now you have my attention, @joejenkins. @JoeJenkins is known as a street artist or musician, more of a content creator(in my opinion). You have to like what he is doing in context of music and street art. Bringing music to the masses, to the street. His YouTube channel states that he is a professional guitarist, but I think there’s more to him than just guitars and pianos… Anyhow, nice work here, great channel, and a fantastic cover of Toto’s “Africa”. Cheers, Joe! If you keep making videos, we will probably keep watching! Those of you who know of Joe, or not, give him a like or subscribe, he’s super talented; hence the stylophone.

Lab Work – BB King Video, by Rhino. Who Is Your Favorite Blues Artist? Singer/Writer?

Enjoyed the “The Thrill” by BB King? Interested in watching similar videos in our collection?

Like I said, I’m a fan of B.B. (Blues Boy) King (check out the BB King Video), it seems like just yesterday when I BB for the first time. Not in the sense that it feels like it was a long time ago, but more so because it was a day I remember for the music, guitar sound, pace and song writing. I didn’t know what the words meant back then, since I was very young.

It was probably one of the first Blues sounds I remember. The music I do recall Clapton, Vaughan, Shaft, Chicago, Otis Blood, Sweat and Tears, BB, and 50’s or Oldies. Always the Oldies. Anyhow, this might be cliche, or kitschy, but the above song is a great rendition of “The Thrill is Gone” by BB King.

It’s been awhile since I listened to any kind of Blues or BB’s music. Let this be a lasting memory of the day I found blues and blues music. Check out this video and more like it on  More King Videos YouTube or explore other videos in the same video category.

Law Work – Otis Redding Video “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of The Bay” by Rhino

I love this Otis Redding song, “(Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay”, it’s a family favorite.

The Big O, The King of Soul… I have fond memories of listening to Otis Redding and his music. Not sure I remember a song more in my life, than Otis’s “Sittin’ On The Dock of The Bay. I can’t discern or distinguish between much of the music I heard as a young child.

I’ve shared some of this before in other articles, I do remember artists such as Otis, BB King, Steve Ray, Shaft, Chicago, Blood, Sweat and Tears, The Temptations… most of what would be considered doo-wop today. There are others, but what stands out to me most are the strong vocals, a full band (with a strong horn section), blues, soul and dance hall music… Just sit back and listen to some of his song: Sittin’, These Arms of Mine, Hard To Handle, My Girl, Your One, It’s too late, For Your Precious Love and Only Man… there are a ton of songs.

Caught In A “Crossfire”

SRV – Crossfire

Lab Work – Crossfire Video by SRV Stevie Ray Vaughn

STEVE RAY VAUGHN

Nothing compares to a little “Crossfire” by Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble.

Stevie’s songs always seem to make their way into my life at the most unexpected times. Times of struggle, hardship, and maybe even a little bit of failure. His songs speak to the heart of the matter, resonating with the soul and hitting you right in the ‘crossfire’… for lack of a better analogy. Weird right? The music finds me in those ‘times’ and brings me back or helps build me up for the next fail. Fail fast (chuckle).

Anyhow I’m a big Steve Ray Vaughan blues fan. As an aspiring (very novice), guitarist, I admire his ability to play the guitar like it’s a art of his body or an extension of his body. It’s crazy, like BB King, it’s the better part of their body. I’m sure there were many years of practice, failure, etc., prior to stardom. It is truly amazing to see people like BB and Stevie who can play an instrument like they do.
