Posting in Free Fire doesn't count on user totals. So thinking making another post rather than edit above... Let me know if not.. Dusty Springfield - Son of a preacher man - YouTube Dusty couldn't dance, but she could sing and look good doing it.

 

On a roll...Who doesn't like fiddle/mandolin/ 12 string guitar etc?...The Waterboys:"Fisherman's Blues" The Waterboys - YouTube

 

There comes a time when this is the only sound that can be music to my ears as I was raised to listening to this distinguished rythm and I think some bikers with their Harley sounds suffer a similar affliction.[video=youtube;laYjc46DgE8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laYjc46DgE8[/video]

Yeah, how many times have we felt a synchronicity that is important to us? That seems to have some sort of connection with what we are /have been concerned/thinking about. But when we try to explain anything coincidental or oddly connected the event loses its' meaning upon trying to share it with another. .,..Those small synchronicities ( I experience them while writing/ listening to tv/radio/music) will express the same word/thought as I type/think it...I think these coincidences are meant only for the individual and convey something about our current state.?.And that those coincidences are a que to things going "as planned". Which leads to- fate?...Kudo's Urq.

I added this to my driving playlist yesterday. I don't know why it took me so long to think of:

Remember?????? White Album gold.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBx_D42opkI&feature=related Woo hoo - Honey Don't, nice version with Dave Edmunds and Richard Starkey. ROCK!

While Starr himself has been the first to acknowledge the technical limitations of his drumming for the Beatles, the overall effect of his contribution has received high praise from notable drummers. Starr said, "Whenever I hear another drummer I know I'm no good. I'm no good on the technical things [...] I'm your basic offbeat drummer with funny fills. The fills were funny because I'm really left-handed playing a right-handed kit. I can't roll around the drums because of that."[SUP][1][/SUP] Martin's version was, "Ringo hit good and hard and used the tom-tom well, even though he couldn't do a roll to save his life", although Martin later added, "He's got tremendous feel. He always helped us to hit the right tempo for a song, and gave it that support — that rock-solid back-beat — that made the recording of all The Beatles' songs that much easier."[SUP][1][/SUP] In 1968,[SUP][49][/SUP] Martin praised Starr's drumming on Sgt. Pepper, calling him "probably ... the finest rock drummer in the world today."[SUP][50][/SUP] source: Wikipedia (High praise indeed from Sir George Martin)

If you guys don’t have this DVD of Roy Orbison’s last performance called “Black and White Night” you are really missing something fine.

The idea came together, and those who wished to perform with Roy had to winnow down to a manageable number, and many were sad to not make the cut. In the audience (if you watch close) many are in attendance but not on stage.

At anyrate, here is a You Tube link to the show, and just look at who was more than willing to play “backup” for the man. The DVD is much better than these little snippets, like the string section contributed by the LA Orchestra, they had to compete for the privilege. Strangely none of them needed to be taught the "tunes", they were Orbison fans from childhood. They put on shades and did the best "live" version of any of his sound-stage songs I have ever heard.

There was a nice display and the Black and White video was showing at the L.A. Grammy Museum last year on a continuous loop. It was a great spectacle of musicians. Instantly classic and endearing. I am not sure if it is still there but the museum is worthwhile for an afternoon if you get the chance!!

 

I have the DVD as well as the CD of the show. Run it all the time when I want to watch his fellows honor the man. I put up the YouTube just so others might get a grasp of the show. On the DVD PBS interviews his widow, and finds out that when the "choices" of who would play with Roy were made, they rehearsed once before the show. Everybody knew the songs, everybody knew their parts, rehearsal was almost not-needed. Springsteen and Costello both were in awe of Roy never missing a note, and his voice still as strong as always. Great DVD, get it if you can.

 

I kind of wish I hadn't read this thread....Now I want to listen to it all....Or at least most of it.....Starting with a little BTO.

But I've been listening to the Flying Neutrinos. Mr. Zoot Suit.

Not Fragile, my absolute favorite BTO album. I have it on the "old" vinyl, and have converted it to digital so I can share it with my friends on CDs. Still doesn't have the depth of the old analog LP (digital fans, I'm sorry. Truth hurts). The LP has some "pops and other flaws" due to years of use, and yet it still sounds better than the one "remastered" CD I did buy. I'll always listen to the LP rather than the CD if given a choice.

 

Simply red and "Picture book" the first album!

Paul Simon and "Graceland" the 25 years special version I just bought last week. "Boy in the bubble" is simply excellent as are so many other songs here as well but "Boy" is truly my favourite since day one.

 

What a wonderful range of music people enjoy. I grew up in rural Alabama prior to TV . We had an old Stromberg-Carlson record player and 78 then 33 rpm records, almost all classical, Bach, Mozart, eyc. We could pick up AM radio, often country, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, etc so I developed eclectic taste in music. Still have it. My car has a great radio so I listen to popular music around town but switch to classical for trips. I taught a free hand drawing class for nearly 40 years and played baroque chamber music for it's melodious feel, it actually helped people to relax and draw freely.I still practice my profession at 72 and spend many hours a day at my drawing board listening to , again, Bach, Mozart from my childhood but adding Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Beethoven, Mussorgsky, Vivaldi, Rachmaninoff, Sibelius (Kai-Petri , love Simply Red too) , Grieg, countless others. and one of my favorites Tomaso Albinoni. Often in movies when something dire is about to happen you will hear Albinoni's adagio for organ playing as it did in Gallipoli as the Mel Gibson character was running the message while his friend waited to go over the top. A sure sign death was impending. i have heard it in 4/5 movies. I have been lucky to have been able to have music on during almost my entire working life, a constant joy. I grew up with the Beetles and they remain a constant. Never liked Elvis, heresy in the South but do like the band Sugarland !! LOL If I were young and single and taller and better looking I would run off with Jennifer Nettles !
