What are you listening to right now?

Marc Bolan? Damn tree...

 

[Voosh]

Yep. As much as you can expect the unexpected - it can happen. Check your tire pressure - an ounce of prevention...


"Bolan died on 16 September 1977, two weeks before his 30th birthday.[11][12] He was a passenger in a purple Mini 1275GT (registration FOX 661L) driven by Gloria Jones as they headed home from Mortons drinking club and restaurant in Berkeley Square. Jones lost control of the car and it struck a sycamore tree after failing to negotiate a small humpback bridge near Gipsy Lane on Queens Ride, Barnes, southwest London. Richard Madeley of daytime TV fame informed fans that it was low tyre pressure that contributed to the fatal crash."

Strange things happen on Saturday nights. A friend was asking about Grammy categories that disappear and new ones appear. I said "like the polka?" Yep. Until a few years ago it was a legit category in the Grammys.

Not truly a Polish genre. Much more associated with other European countries and you certainly get hints of it in Zydeco. Always fun stuff to party with at a wedding or other some other rowdy social occasion.

[Voosh]

I'm indulging myself.

This is from an audition in the late 90s. I've partially reconstructed that tape. Oh, and yeah, I was hired for that gig that lasted a few years.

Yep. Me on bass. (Fender Jazz bass and a GK 400RB and some nondescript cassette recorder in a crowded place.)

Always loved this family. Fun times seeing them in Ann Arbor. Donald played with Bob Marley before he rejoined his brothers and Dad.

Wish I'd found this in time for 4th July.

Gotta tell ya. Kathy is much tougher in many situations than me. I respect. We work together.









IMHO. Salute and thank those that do a dangerous and thankless job dictated by the goofiness of the world.

 

[amyb]

Why thank you, Voosh

 

[Voosh]

I meant it. Life would be such a drag and hopeless without a partner, especially one that can do so much.


Now the dawg is whining about not getting honorable mention. He is a gentle soul that does a lot. He is nothing as depicted in this vid but does get around and is fearless (he actually went after a pit bull that bit me earlier this year. All three of us are fine and the owner of the pit now keeps her on a leash.)

[amyb]

I was thanking you for the women in service tribute. Having a good partner is another big bonus in life. We are lucky to have hit the jackpot

 

[Voosh]

Yep. I know many women that are true heroes. Kathy is a much better diver than I. Yet, I did take her on her first "wreck dive" and floated her through the sunken ship. She loved it. Sometimes I get it kinda right.


Can someone translate this for me?

Also, Shania has been very generous in appearing in events, ads, etc. that support those that protect us.

Stevie Ray Vaughn!! I never get sick of that blues guitar

 

[Voosh]

Lou Reed and Stevie? I'm not gonna get much done tonight. The headphones might melt.

 

[Peter NJ]

The King of Mope is still cool.

Just saved it. Thnx.

I am back to listening to "The Riddle" and "A Hundred Years to Live" by Five for Fighting. Wonderful songs.

Listening to these unsung heroes (Paul Butterfield, Mike Bloomfield, Sam Lay, Elvin Bishop, Mark Naftalin AND Jerome Arnold on bass,) as a kid, got me to muddle around with music.

They were pioneers in playing blues and then transitioning to "jam" stuff. Most of them were the band that played behind Bob Dylan when he went "electric" at Newport, among many other credits.

Can't pick a favorite by them. Too many great tunes by them. One that stands out is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT1-NDu-xiQ

Hometown music heard and played all over the world.


RIP Bob Babbitt (the guy on bass in those vids.)
