What are you listening to right now?

One of my favorite early Detroit R&B tunes, with the real version after that.

I still have an original Fortune Records 45. Tapes of all of that are in some crates that I am sorting through. (Some are mine. Some, courtesy of local public radio station that I taped it from in the mid-70s.)

Kathy says dump it or get best price. "The basement looks like an out of control... something." It's all listed and cataloged on the 'puter. I... I just can't part with some of this stuff yet.


As for hunting - not a bad skill. The last ten years, I just hit the woods and take pictures. If it ever became necessary to get dinner that way - no p'blm. Gotta be real about the realities. We have always eaten all the fish and game that we caught, and enjoyed it. Never get greedy.


Fred,

Don't read to much into this.

Original version (I think) :

I do not agree with Hank JR's political views. I agree with the sentiment - we can survive without stepping on too many toes and make space for all and help your neighbors/family. Just use commonsense. That's the way I view that tune.

Fun evening tonight with some fellow SBH travelers (they'll be there the week of the 14th of Feb. They asked what was going on that week. I said - just check this site. They do lurk mostly, but do post sometimes and have been to a "Baz gathering.")

Anyways, I digress, as usual.

Afterwards, I was researching some tunes for a project and found this info and vids.

Found what I was looking for:

Tower of Power "Rhythm and Business" ....while the snow is falling and I am cooking dinner and drinking wine...

great music to go with the moment

 

[Rosemary]

"So Very Hard To Go"(outside and finish shoveling the deck.)

 

[MIke R]

great song

 

[Rosemary]

I love it. Which is why I am going to listen to it a few more times before I go tackle the danged deck.

Anything by Tower Of Power is Powerful. Of course, being a bass player, my favorite is Rocco ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocco_Prestia )



Da tune mentioned:

(Yep. Still have a black Tshirt with the Montreaux logo. No, I didn't play. They just tossed me one backstage. I wear it proudly and get lots of questions when I do. Usually, my answer is "No it weren't me. But I was there." Cheap thrills.)



Rocco:

Backstage at Montreaux. Goosebumps.

 

[Rosemary]

"Bright Side of the Road" by Mr. Van Morrison. Sending it out to all our friends!

 

[Voosh]

Haven't heard this gem from 1962 in years. Rarely gets played. A true early country/mainstream crossover.

One day we're walking around the harbor. I nodded and said Hi! and got a nod in return. Kathy asked who that was and why I didn't introduce. Simple, I said - "We're on vacation. So are they." She just "arrnghd" and said "Yep. Let's hit Repaire." Timeouts are a beautiful thing.

Amazing what a smile can do.

Can't buy 'em on eBay. They come free, real and natural.
