What are you listening to right now?

I did, I was suprised and I also noticed JB added himself to the songwriting credits.

It's legit. The original was in French. Jimmy redid the lyrics in English. It's a very different song.

 

[MIke R]

very different

Are there any other Black Keys fans in here?

This video is absolutely hilarious.

I too get FERKLEMPT whenever I hear the opening notes PLINK PLINK and know that THE LAST WALTZ is coming on-what a great farewell that was!!

I thought it was "verklempt"?!?? But what do I know, I learned all my Yiddish from Howard Stern!

Nostalgia. From when I was in junior high (yeah, many folks call it middle school these days.)

Doo-lang. Doo-lang. Words to live by. IMHO.


(I was playing electric bass guitar by then. I marvelled at the tone and "thump" on some of those songs. Some Motown folks explained to me that it was played on an upright "big" bass. I never got the hang of playing a "doghouse." Even with rockabilly. No complaints. I just enjoy what I can't play. So much to listen to and learn. Not a bad cruise.)


Geez. I have the original of this one -

On the ride to the Cape today I listened to, among other things, The Beatles "Think For Yourself" - which I believe was the first time a fuzz box was used for the bass guitar in a rock song...from there I went to Norwegian Wood which was probably the first mainstream rock song to incorporate a sitar....

good ride down

Mike,

I did update my post above.

First sound of "fuzz" for me was Link Wray's "Rumble." Was a mystery for us kids how he got that sound. Then we learnt that he poked holes in his amp speaker. We weren't going there (Our folks already said they paid out too much for our "toys.")


There are a number of great "fuzz guitar" tunes since then. The Stone's "Satisfaction" made it truly a staple of most guitar players.

I still have a working Gibson fuzz from the 60s that amazes the digital "know hows." I still have a custom built reverb and preamp that Craig Anderton designed and I built for myself. He approves.

And, for bass players -


" In 1960 Grady Martin, a longtime Nashville session picker, was recording a 6 string bass part for the Marty Robbins hit Don't Worry. A faulty mixing board caused the bass to become fuzzy. Really fuzzy in fact. Having a good ear and an open mind they made the decision to keep the fuzz. The song reached #1 one on the country charts and #3 on the pop charts and fuzz was to stay around for good."

Read yesterday that Steve Martin is offering a $50K prize for a 5 string bsnjo or blue grass artist/group. He calls it a mini MacArthur award.

Don't know what this portends for the weekend. I'm bringing out the tie-dyed t-shirt, granny glasses and beads.
