I am Music

This clip is so heavy that I'm afraid it will fall through my LCD screen, fall through my desk, fall through the floor, and, finally, fall through several layers of mantle, coming to rest only as it merges with the white-hot molten core of the Earth. There is a lesson here, though I am not confident about what it is.

You may laugh, but you weren't there in the 60s. I was, and we were very serious. About everything.

Now stop. You're pushing too hard on my ego.

For Ange, RF and all those women out there doin' it

TY, T. You remembered that I said how much I like that song. Although you could put those two together and have them sing scales and they'd sound fantastic. :)

:rose:

My British ex had the original round Ogden's Nut Gone flake album by these guys.
Up until then I only knew them through Rod (the Mod) Stewart when they were The Faces...of course before that they were small

goodbye's are blue

I've got a picture, it's there on the wall
I can't remember why I keep it at all
The doors are cold and all the windows are grey
I write the book, there's so much more I should say

Wave goodbye
See my heart, so blue
Wave goodbye
Lost for you

And now it's over, I write it all down
No one to notice, one less face in the crowd
Our eyes are open when it suits us to see
Dear god in heaven show no mercy to me

Wave goodbye
See my heart, so blue
Wave goodbye
Lost for you

I shed no tears and there's no reason for shame
A small consolation hides a stone with her name
Just a victim, still the light shines on bright
I've got the picture, think I'll hold it tonight

Wave goodbye
See my heart, so blue
Wave goodbye
Lost for you

For you Tzara- some great music and check out the cover art....Duane Allman and Eric Clapton- Guitar Jam..
Great stuff, Mr. T! DA never got proper recognition. Oh, and Mr. Clapton is pretty OK too. ;)

So we've heard from #2 and #4 on the Rolling Stone 100 Best Guitarists list. Hey. Mebbe we should reference the number one.

If you've ever tried to be a guitarist and you just look at how casually St. Jimi's long long long fingers so easily caress that upside-down Strat neck, you just, I just... hell I, (insert heavy breathing here), JUST WANT TO PLAY THE NOTES LIKE THAT. Why I toyed with the idea of buying a left-handed Strat: to play the damn thing upside-down.

Stupid. Not disagreeing.

Anyway. Check out Seattle's own Jimi Hendrix, playing "Fire" at Woodstock. There's a reason I wanted a left-hand Strat, even though I am right-handed. I was thirteen. Impressionable. :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, and Jimi plays his wrong-side down.

Fuck. Groove to it, people.
 
the best rock and roll song I've ever heard, bar none.

Here

and they really did look like that, when i was 7. :)

I have to tell you, youngster, that it is not the same song without Merry Clayton's backing vocal. Her voice, shrieking, cracking, points the whole song back to the insanity of Altamont, which is what the song is about.

But if we're doing Stones thingies, let me suggest these, for yer viewing and auditory pleasures:
  • Get Off of My Cloud, from maybe 1965. Keith is wearing glasses, and looks like a dork. Brian and he are "playing" (synced, of course--where's the cords to the amps?) Gibson Firebirds, with their funky reversed headstocks.

    My junior high had a jukebox, and this song was on major play play play. I hung around the edges of the room, wishing I could dance like James Brown. Or just wishing I could even talk to some of the girls.

    Oh, yeah. Junior high.
  • The Last Time. One of their best riffs. Brian is "playing" (synced again, of course) his prototype Vox Phantom guitar. Sir Michael is wearing a button-down shirt and looking very preppy, if one ignores the fact that he is in severe need of a haircut. Mick's been watching Mr. Brown on television also, I see.

    I can (well, could) actually play this one at one time.
  • Brian plays the dulcimer (with a quill, fergawdsakes!) on Lady Jane. Psst! It's a slang term.

    Meaning cun****

    Sorry. Censorship, you know.
  • Brian plays the marimba. Under My Thumb. I myself tend to live more under her thumb, which makes my Dom credentials suspect, I think.
  • Brian plays the sitar (yes, I miss Brian, if you haven't guessed) in Paint It Black.
  • Finally, here is some other band doing a cover of Honky Tonk Women. This un's for Master P. ;)

    Makes me want to break out the mandolin and crank out some power chords.

I still own two turntables.

You know, vinyl has superior sound. :rolleyes:

topped only by those contraptions with the big, spinning megaphone on them.

hey, that was good. :)

those old things probably go for a fortune now.

how many of those do you have? :)
I am exaggerating, as usual. Me pa has some 78s still. (Hell, he still has currency from the Weimar Republic, for that matter.)

So, fibbin'. As usual. :eek:

I think I am trapped in some kind of alternate universe or, at least, some kind of even less efficient user interface than what normally passes muster here. I've tried to post this twice with, apparently, no success. (If I am repeating myself in some other jurisdictions, my apologies. I am well known as being idiot.)

Anyway. Check this out: The Tommy Dorsey Band playing Opus One. I love how the guys stand up to solo.

Good stuff, anyway.
 
I had heard of this woman, but never heard her sing until today on the radio (shame on me !) Here is Etta James doing a duet with Dr. John.... :)
