Love that one. We had a dive in the upper peninsula where they always played that on the jukebox when we rolled in on our hawgs. Ahhhh. Memories. Owner also bought the first round. Guess we lower peninsula folks were OK with the northerners.
Since I've been rebuilding/reconfiguring "stuff" here, I've gotten some great suggestions for online sources. Example:
http://www.live365.com/index.live Yeah. The ads can be annoying. If I paid for unlimited access on all these sites I would starve and never get back to SBH. It all works out and balances. IMHO.
(Oh, OK. Nobody bit on that oldie that the precursors to The Who released under a different title and took credit. I try to give credit where credit is due. I asked last night about that tune - Voila
"Both tracks were recorded at United Sound in Detroit with the Royal Playboys as the backing band.
US issue = Big Top 3161 (Oct. 1963)
UK = London HL 9809
Australia = London HL 2151
Canada = Quality 1576x
Germany = Heliodor 453 142")
I junked all the old gear a while back. My bad. Eddie got a cam and some film out of it, my pleasure and privilege.
I'm gonna work on restoring some of these music gems. (Yes, yes. I have the latest, greatest software and hardware to do it. My heart ain't been there. Gawd. I let deadlines pile up and then have to plough through them. I will and do.)
Sorry, I'm a sucker for an Italian drummer that sings. Well, there's that east side kid that bangs the Vox pretty well, and, of course, solid bar bass.
on my drive yesterday i plugged james taylor/carole king at the troubadour into my cd player. i've watched the dvd many, many times (merci, earl) and the cd has all the same great songs!
I believe my friend Carol Kaye did the bass on this one.
- Carol Kaye (born March 24, 1935) is an American musician, best known as one of the most prolific and widely heard bass guitarists in history, playing on an estimated 10,000 recording sessions in a 55 year career.[1]
As a session musician, Kaye was the bassist on many Phil Spector and Brian Wilson productions in the 1960s and 1970s. She played guitar on Ritchie Valens' "La Bamba" and is credited with the bass tracks on several Simon & Garfunkel hits and many film scores by Quincy Jones and Lalo Schifrin. Among her most often cited work Kaye anchored the Beach Boys' album Pet Sounds. -
I'm dusting out some 45s. Kathy is saying I should call it a night. Wait. Wait. I found an original "The Bounce" by the Olympics; "What A Guy" by "The Raindrops" and "She Ain't Lovin' You" by "The Distant Cousins" (No not some 2Pac or T9 stuff.) All original 45s. Yeehaw.
And some friends keepin' the candles lit. IMHO - gotta do it.
I love this song (and, don't ask me about "aircraft aluminum" and the cop that just said "Roll on boys." He joined us for a hefty Finnish breakfast that morning. Friends.)
Whenever possible I support local bands. I don't go out to clubs any more, so I gotta find 'em where I can. This band has potential. I'll repost when they have some cuts with their new (bartender) bass player.
Going forward, I may soon have live music 1.5 miles from my house. Sadly, it will be restricted to Irish music. Love the Irish music, wish I had some variety.
