What are you listening to right now?

[Voosh]

"BAJA" by "The Astronauts" will be the opener.

Original has "drippy" reverb and way too much treble. Overall, great surf tune.

And yes, I have seen and met the "monster" and "grandfather of surf" with his kid in tow and playing drums. Tres cool.

I will do "the best I can" to read the post correctly before I respond. My other suggestion was going to be Taj Mahal's "Fishin Blues" Hoo, can I change a party theme in the blink of an eye.

 

[Voosh]

Dick Dale busts more guitar strings in one set than I could bring to a full gig. The GODFATHER of SURF. IMHO.


As for "BAJA" -

Classic. IMHO.

 

[Rosemary]

BAJA!!! I never heard this before. A whole lot of music there.
I live to learn. ("We all must do what best we can") Great thought of the dancing. Life affirming.
Have a great gig.

 

[Voosh]

Wish I was playing that gig. I was simply asked by friends to gather up some surf stuff for a "surf motif" private party they are playing, on short notice, this weekend. CD is done and delivered. They have a couple days to work it out. They will. Good friends and players. It's amazing how much surf music is appreciated up here.

 

[Rosemary]

I am listening to "Riding In My Car" by NRBQ, and enjoying it a lot.

 

[MIke R]

In the shop, and I have Dan Fogelbergs "Love in Time" album on..the last music he wrote before he died......sweet album

 

[Rosemary]

I am listening to "For the Beauty of the Earth" as sung by a community chorus posted on YouTube. I want to be able to play it on my violin at Thanksgiving for my long suffering sweetheart.

 

[Voosh]

I am listening to "Riding In My Car" by NRBQ, and enjoying it a lot.

NRBQ - have an original (mass produced) demo from them. Arrrngh! I'm trying to find it.

 

[Rosemary]

I love those guys. In the summers, we used to finish work, drive to Misquamicut to bodysurf, see NRBQ and race home for 11pm curfew. Which meant we heard about a song and a half. That was also the era of the Eagles "Lying Eyes." Which we were forced to amend from "you can't hide your lying eyes..." to "We can't find those lying guys..." Soon we learned to find nicer boyfriends.

 

[Voosh]

Just rummaging through pix of our last roadtrip.

Plopped in "Six Days On The Road." Can't decide if I like the Taj Mahal or Dave Dudley version better. OK. I like them both and am replaying and replaying as I remember a great local band doing that tune at a Colorado wedding a couple years ago (hey Rivertrash, it was in Bachelors Gulch) at my request. They knew it and did it poifectly. Then they went into "Truckin'" by the Dead and then pointed at me as they went into "Friends In Low Places." Playing those two tunes right now.

I really scored points, , with the really conservative factions of family when the band, also at my request, played "Fortunate Son" by Creedence. I drank some more, slunk away and we had a great brunch some hours later. Family - We agree to disagree. They proved that on our recent visit to TX.

 

[Voosh]

BTW. I'm playin' "Takin' Care Of Business" right now on the headphones to remind me of work at hand.

 

[Rosemary]

Voosh!"...and working overtime!"

 

[Voosh]

Kathy hates when I bring this one up. She grew up in northern Forida and southern Georgia. She forgives me since it is another classic. Sara Palin, look out for REAL country ladies. IMHO.

[Rosemary]

I think Gretchen Wilson is great. We have spent time in southern Georgia - wonderful experience. And the St. John River is beautiful.

 

[Voosh]

Quitman, GA and many places in FL.


Repost here: My friend Libby kicking it in Australia. One great bass player, arranger, producer and generous soul. IMHO.

As for roadtrips (Naw, I don't drive the big rigs - not for many years,) I have Kathy and the dawg wondering why I mess with some of them in some states and Canada when they mess with us. Just fun on the road. We stop at trucker stops all the time and exchange stories. Now that's getting real road flavor. IMHO.

Kinda lame version -

This one almost blows the speakers in the car. Dawg and Kathy try to hide when I play this one. Yep. Doin' over 120 on the eway and diggin' it.

Another disclaimer: I ain't the only fast driver. Some years ago, after visiting our son at Ellsworth AFB, we hit the road back to MI on a cold snowy night. Yes, we prefer to travel at night. Kathy took the first driving shift. I woke up from a snooze halfway through SD. "What happened?" I grumbled. She said it was one of the rare bumps on that stretch. "Oh OK. What's the speed?" She looked at dash and then told me she had set the cruise control at 110. "Fine, wake me when ya want me to take over." (Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with some props)

Not for everyone, I'm sure. But we survive. DO NOT try without proper training and experience.

[Voosh]

Huh? What I do wrong now?

I just downloaded that crappy vid of Carolyn and my software is playing and displaying just fine as I type.


Oh, and saved it & converted it to another vid format. No problem.
