Colorful neckties - including one that appears to show a young Arlo Guthrie wearing a hat, a napkin across his chest, and no shirt, and another necktie with an image of a dog - hang from a partially-open, closet-like door.

For this holiday week, we're wrapping up the #coltranetuesdays #NewToMeVember series with a Thanksgiving classic. I can't play it quite like the original, so instead it will be in my signature under-rehearsed, semi-improvised style! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXnC...

The #coltranetuesdays #NewToMeVember series continues this week with a piece that was one of the first songs a certain beloved American songwriter wrote for Broadway back in the late 70s - and I think it still holds up today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tJu...

So for this week's show, I'll attempt to play that song, and then we'll see if you hit me with something else that's new-to-me when we play #nfcstumptheband. Check out the #livestream TODAY (Tuesday) at 12:30 p.m. - or anytime afterwards - at www.youtube.com/watch?v=uawE...

One of my kids recently introduced me to a seasonally-appropriate song for mid-November by a performer I'd never heard of - making the song a pretty good fit for the #coltranetuesdays #NewToMeVember series! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uawE...

When Dave Fry made an #nfcstumptheband request for this 17-minute psychedelic epic back in 2018, little did he know he'd help to inspire this yearly #StumpTheBandDoOver event. And as always, it promises to be intermittently Not Terrible, and definitely uncomfortably long.

The #coltranetuesdays #Looptober series continues this week with a song that requires me to attempt to play one of the most iconic bass guitar breaks of all time - which I fully intend to render in my characteristic, under-rehearsed, "not terrible" style! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yfk5...

For this week's #coltranetuesdays, we'll continue our #Looptober series with a reliable crowd-pleaser that's nonetheless a bit outside my usual wheelhouse. And then we'll see how far out things get when we play #nfcstumptheband.

We've gone quite a while without a new #coltranetuesdays episode, so we're starting back up again tomorrow (Tuesday) - just in time for #Looptober! See what kind of loopy shenanigans I get up to with an astronomically-inspired song, and then start your own shenanigans when we play #nfcstumptheband.

Not For Coltrane NOT FOR COLTRANE is Michael Duck, a guy from Bethlehem, PA, who loves bringing together folky acoustic rock and evocative storytelling. (Coltrane was his dog. He thought he could sing, but unfortunate...

But! There's exciting news coming up about an IRL show this summer, and there are more than 150 (!!) past episodes to peruse at youtube.com/notforcoltrane. So save up those #nfcstumptheband requests, and we'll be back together soon.

A closet-like door with colorful neckties hanging from it also has a handwritten sign taped to it, reading "On summer break." Superimposed on the photo are the words "#coltranetuesdays - most Tuesdays at 12:30 p.m. - youtube.com/notforcoltrane - featuring the Not For Coltrane Stump-The-Band Game"

Hey, everybody - the #coltranetuesdays show is going on a summer break for the next few weeks. My schedule is bonkers right now, and I can't quite keep up with posting (or re-posting) an episode each week. (1/2)

YouTube video by Not For Coltrane Bob Grover tribute show - #coltranetuesdaysredux (s2, ep26)

And we stayed in a country mode for #nfcstumptheband, including a surprisingly coherent improvised old-timey folk song about a steel-drivin' man. The video premieres TODAY at 12:30 p.m. ET, or watch anytime afterwards, at www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch6Q...

Just finished the edit on this week's #coltranetuesdaysredux - a #coltranetuesdays episode from five years ago featuring that song by Sixpence None the Richer, attempts at prog rock and rap, and more #nfcstumptheband shenanigans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbxL...

But I hope to be back next week, featuring a #coltranetuesdays episode from May 2020 that included a song that's very much of its late-90s era, plus an #nfcstumptheband attempt at rap (!). See you then!
