Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Ray Sharpe-Linda Lu:


Error 404 (Not Found)!!1


Am I the only one who wonders why they would call someone Patty when her real name is Linda Lu? Possibly a hidden meaning that escapes me? :shrug: Whatever the case, I love the song. It only requires 4 notes to realize you have to get up and dance when it comes on. Or you can dance in your chair. You just can't keep still. That's a misdemeanor at the very least.

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

Interesting song, dates back to 1915  and the original lyrics are not PC in todays environment (darkies)....

Mandolins, violins
Hear the darkies tunin' up, the fun begins
Come this way, don't delay, better hurry
Honey dear, or you'll be missin'
Music sweet, ragtime treat
Goes right to your head and trickles to your feet
It's a reminder, a memory finder
Of nights down in old Alabam'

Seems the same writers of this song had another hit the previous year 1914.... Called "All aboard for Dixie Land"....

Thanks Tom ... like your version best. Sorry for rambling, just sometimes I get lost in the music and internet searches. Been listening to the music others (Pookie and Jazz) have put up and have had a good lazy few hours... need to get going again.

@Sighlass

Boy, do I get that! Sometimes I will sit at my computer for hours because one song, artist, songwriter, technique will lead to another search. And then another. At some point you don't even know how many rabbit trails brought you to where you are or where you even started!

At my advanced age, plus having no accountability to anyone for my time, it's a luxury I can afford. Sure, there are things that don't get done when they "should." But the earth has never ceased to rotate on its axis, and I have enjoyed myself immensely. There's one thing that will make me interrupt one of those sessions when I'm immersed in music and that's an Astros game. Other than that, I seem helpless to stop myself!  :silly:

Black Slacks by the Carolina group, Jeff Bennet and the Sparkletones listed above, they had some act, watch them. By the way, on Simon and Garfunkel's live album, they have a very brief cover of the song... and it has been covered by a lot of artists.

@TomSea
Thank you for posting that! I think of that song from time to time, but by the time I get around to finding it, it's already slid off my brain. Too much data on this ol' hard drive.

That song always reminds me of my mother. She got such a kick out of it. Would dance to it and would sing along, even with the trilling sound that you so excellently spelled out. She had an awful voice, but I loved hearing her get down to the song.

Here's another one that she and I used to enjoy from that same time frame.

Daddy tolerated us and all the carrying on with our music, but his taste was more along these lines. I might add that this recording sounds a heap better than the old 78 we had.

Yes, I knew "Green Door" and as for "Black Slacks", the cover is important because it introduces these songs to a whole new generation. Some people are into the 1950s scene so much, they get old refrigerators and so on in their house.  These kind showed me a lot of music I never knew existed, 1950s, I'd know the main songs, Elvis, songs from American Graffiti and so on.

I'm not that big of a fan of the song itself but the video is fun:

In my humble opinion, Wally Lewis penned "Kathleen" and this is a great R 'n' R ballad:

Glen Glenn's take, nice interpretations of the same song.

Kind of a silly song today ... Not that the song(s) are silly, or the artist (Elvis) but that they crammed so many songs in such a short space...

See how many songs you hear in this "Medley" that is just under 4 minutes long....

Fun stuff! I'd never heard this side of them. I've got some errands to run today, but I can see I'll be drawn back to the computer later and find myself blissfully lost in some rabbit trails of discovery and entertainment. In the meantime, here's another live performance I got a kick out of from the 70s. Enjoy!
