Welcoming all music.
John Barry Orchestra, movie themes such as Zulu:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI120J46E_s
Brian Poole of the Tremeloes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNoEImXfNbQ
Did this which was done first by the Four Seasons:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYgniftVxQ8
I think the Tremeloes also, there's something about that song Yellow River, not sure if they had a hit with it but...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onZsayOx4KM
"Yellow River" by Christie, there is some sort of history here, I've read prior:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMnosX5oQ2k
Maybe Christie's was a hit here while the Tremeloes version was not in the US.
Nick Simper of Johnny and the Pirates, the first with this stupendous hit and now, (garage) classic:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2_zh-JSrN0
Lulu, "To Sir with love", megahit:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOVQ4vAmM7Y
Song from movie of the same name with Sidney Potier.

Brian Poole of the Tremeloes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNoEImXfNbQ
Did this which was done first by the Four Seasons:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYgniftVxQ8
I think the Tremeloes also, there's something about that song Yellow River, not sure if they had a hit with it but...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onZsayOx4KM
"Yellow River" by Christie, there is some sort of history here, I've read prior:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMnosX5oQ2k
Maybe Christie's was a hit here while the Tremeloes version was not in the US.
The Tremeloes didn't have the hit with "Yellow River," but they managed a rare feat starting in 1966: they outshone
their original lead singer after he left the group. Brian Poole, like Wayne Fontana of the Mindbenders, got ideas
about a solo career and went for it with no success; by 1970 he was working in his family's butcher shop and
relegated to the land of trivia contests.
The Tremeloes didn't replace him but did replace bassist Alan Howard---first with Mike Clark,
then with Chip Hawkes, who became, concurrently, their new lead singer, though the group began
to focus on harmony singing even more---and changed their image, dumping the stage suits and
going Carnaby Street. The new quartet alignment did the trick: after two flop singles, they hit
covering the Cat Stevens song "Here Comes My Baby," charting it in England and the United
States, then hit the jackpot covering the Four Seasons' "Silence is Golden." ("Silence is Golden" wasn't
exactly a failure for the Seasons---it was the B-side of "Rag Doll" and got some radio play on its own in
1964.) They reeled off a few more British hits (though none were quite so successful in the U.S.) and looked
like stayers until they attempted to shake up their music with a "heavier" style---alienating the audience
they built for the smooth harmonies. Their hitmaking days were over, but they stayed attractive on the live
club and cabaret circuit for years to come.
Trivia: It's said that one of the reasons why British Decca rejected the Beatles was Brian Poole & the Tremeloes:
the label auditioned both groups, and label chief Dick Rowe gave his subordinate Mike Smith the choice. Smith
loved both groups but picked the Tremeloes because they were from London and more easily
accessible, not bargaining that the Beatles might re-locate (which they eventually did). It was Rowe's
unfortunate mistake to give the Beatles' manager Brian Epstein the news by way of the infamous "We don't
like your boys' sound, groups of guitars are on the way out" rejection letter. It was Decca, too, that insisted
---since British rock and pop was still dominated with groups whose names put their lead singers in the
front of the names---the group be re-named Brian Poole & the Tremeloes.
(They didn't make the same mistake with a signing Dick Rowe engineered in mid-1963, when the
Beatles' success and the story of Decca rejecting them began becoming a legend in British show
business---Rowe signed the Rolling Stones and didn't insist on pushing their lead singer's
name to the front of the group's name.)
Which ended up hurting in the long run: the group revamped its music to more of an R&B orientation
and became hitmakers (they even sent their own version of "Twist & Shout" to number four at a time
the Beatles' version of the song was a best-seller on an EP single), but being pushed to the front of
the group's name helped give Poole the same star mentality that eventually brought Wayne Fontana
down, leading to his exit and the Tremeloes' revamp, since they realised they had at least three solid
singers in the lineup without him. Mike Smith played a hand in their second life, too: he'd left Decca
and was hired by England's new CBS label---set up to handle American Columbia Records releases
in the U.K. directly, rather than leasing them to other labels---where one of his first orders of business
was signing the remade Tremeloes.

Very early Gram Parsons:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBOOBUuhBdw
These early songs seemed more to be like folk music, like the Kingston Trio or someone like that.
The linked websites said he died of a heroin overdose, he had some talent to be getting involved with drugs.
Mentor to Emmylou Harris, the last I knew, she'd always play one of his songs on her albums, luxury liner, etc.

Yes, you're correct about the Byrds' vid that I posted. Some of the original lineup (Clarke & later Crosby) had left by late 1967. Gram was in the reformed 1968 lineup, but he left later that year to form the Flying Burrito Bros...so this is the only Byrds' charted song that he may have played on:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0vKc3jIjDo

Really excellent, I see the Byrds, pre-Gram did it too. Gram went to one of those Ivy League schools, it would be in his bio but it got him up in the North-East where the folk music scene was bigger.

In My Hour of Darkness
Gram Parsons
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
Oh Lord, grant me vision oh, Lord grant me speed
Once I knew a young man went driving through the night
Miles and miles without a word but just his high beam lights
Who'd have ever thought they'd build such a deadly Denver bend
To be so strong, to take so long as it would till the end
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
Oh Lord, grant me vision oh, Lord grant me speed
Another young man safely, strummed his silver stringed guitar
And He played to people everywhere some say he was a star
But he was just a country boy, his simple songs confess
And the music he had in him so very few possess
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
Oh Lord, grant me vision oh, Lord grant me speed
The there was an old man kind and wise with age
And he read me just like a book never missed a page
And loved him like a father, and I loved him like my friend
And I knew his time could shortly come but I did not know just when
In my hour of darkness in my time of need
Oh Lord, grant me vision oh, Lord grant me speed
Oh Lord, grant me vision oh, Lord grant me speed

They were big in the civil rights movement, one can see videos showing this on youtube.
Al Hirt, it has to be Cotton Candy or Java though, I am aware of his other hits, maybe "When the Saints Go Marching in" too. I like his version of "Girl from Impanema" though, that's got to be easy-listening. "Tansy" is okay too.

@EasyAce
Thanks for the Carl Stalling! One of my all time favorites.
I don't Think I've posted this guy yet, but then, lately, I've been wondering if that serum the Docs gave me when I got bit by that Zombie 30 years ago was truly any good after all.

First off, one of the top "Southern Gospel" quartets of the 1980s, '90s was Gold City. Gold City called Gadsden, Alabama their homebase, so with it in the news so much these days, perhaps a song or two from them. They were immensely successful.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5efmrvX5vo
I'll think about some other songs they have done, Gadsden also got hit in the past few years with a bad tornado.

Love the guitar work here.
And Todd singing on it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VC_wiiFABE
The Nazz were somewhat underrated and had a slightly peculiar story: Todd Rundgren and
bassist Carson Van Osten formed the group (they took the name from an album track by
the Yardbirds, "The Nazz Are Blue") with drummer Thom Mooney and singer/keyboardsman
Robert Antoni (who went by his nickname Stewkey) in 1967. They landed their first gig
opening for the Doors and attracted the attention of managers who insisted on keeping them
to private rehearsals while fitting them in stylish clothing and finally landing them a record
deal.
They cut their first album and stiffed with their first single ("Hello, It's Me"), then their
managers insisted they would only play large halls, a rather audacious and foolish stance
for a band who were barely known and whose first single bombed. (Small wonder: it's a
great song but the Nazz's version was a dirge; Rundgren would remake it into a monster
hit in a jazzier version in 1974.) The Nazz got a lot of publicity in teen magazines by
way of their managers planting puff pieces and glamour photographs, but that was it
until the album began getting good reviews.
So they rolled the dice, went to England to record (kind of no surprise considering the
overt British influences in their music), came home after work visa problems, and
recorded what was supposed to be a double album called Fungo Bat. It ended
up getting trimmed to the single-disc Nazz Nazz and provoked the beginning of
the end, since Rundgren had written and cut a lot of new, more introspective stuff
that didn't go over big with the rest of the band. He left the group after their 1969
tour and Van Osten walked out shortly afterward, leaving Antoni to take over. He
wiped the vocals Rundgren recorded for the Fungo Bat material left shelved,
recorded his own vocals on it despite saying publicly he didn't like the material (it
wasn't quite the rock and roll he signed on for, with Rundgren having become
enamoured of Laura Nyro as well as the the Philadelphia school of soul music, which
originated not far from his native Pennsylvania town of Upper Darby), and the result
was Nazz III. The album bombed despite having a lot of good songs on it (Antoni
was no Todd Rundgren as a singer or writer, and the material provided about half
the blueprint for Rundgren's solo career to be) and the rest of the band split.
For years it was believed Antoni wiped the Rundgren vocals out of his own idea;
he did it under record label pressure. He was also staggered when Nazz III
was released---after he'd joined an Illinois group called Fuse, following the Nazz's
collapse in Texas, where they were stranded on a rare tour, which prompted
Rundgren and Van Osten out of the band.
Two members of Fuse---Rick Nielsen and Tom Petersson---re-organised it into
a band called Sick Man of Europe, but after returning to Illinois after a short-lived
relocation to Philadelphia, Antoni left---his wife was pregnant with their first child,
and he chose domestic life and eventually became a five-time grandfather---and
Nielsen and Petersson eventually morphed the project into Cheap Trick.

@EasyAce
Thanks for the history on The Nazz. Lots of stuff there I didn't know.
Not as though it's directly related to your post, and certainly not exclusively to Nazz, but it does say quite a bit about the Music Industry in general.
My favorite Music Industry quote for the week.
"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."
Hey EasyAce, is it just me or has my original post itself disappeared?

I certainly did not pull your post.

I am sorry if someone accidentally pulled your post. I will read every post and try and see what happened.

@To-Whose-Benefit? Thanks for the ping but since M$ screwed with my Video capabilities here, I don't get in here very often, your song reminded me of some early Savoy Brown, though.

I see @EasyAce quoted your post showing that video (post is above with "http", Kiddie Boy. I have no idea how it disappeared. Beats me?
No rules were broken.... obviously the post existed because it is quoted.
Once, one of the threads got merged... what I usually do, and I said fine though I don't know who did it. Apologies if any post of your got deleted. People should be careful because the original poster might think they did something wrong and they haven't.

Saw Tull in concert with Martin and he was playing a Les Paul Custom in a Tobacco Burst sunburst finish.
And I thought, - 'cause that wasn't a stock LP option way back then - How in the hell was I Ever gonna come up with enough dough to pay Gibson's Custom shop to put one like that together for me.
Back then they were like Ford's Model T. You could get them in any color you wanted so long as it was black.

I hate to jinx myself,but I have been doing better than at any other time in the last 15 years. That's why I haven't been here much. Too busy doing other stuff or too tired from doing other stuff.
Still trying to restore my 51 Ford business coupe,and damned if I didn't buy a 51 Victoria 2dr ht to restore to driver-quality so I have one to drive while I am redoing the coupe. It's been off the road for at least 10 years,and needs everything related to brakes and gas replaced or rebuilt. I did get it running even if it doesn't stop,and hope to be driving it within the next two weeks. Depends on how soon the parts I ordered come in,the weather,and how I feel when they get here.

Mike Farris is a recovering junkie/drunk,and is doing a lot of gospel-flavored songs now. Nothing really new about that. ALL American music has it's roots in the music that came out of the Protestant churches. First it was gospel,then blue grass,country,blues,and then rock and roll.
There is some semi-new crap polluting the airwaves now called rap/hip hop,but it's not music,just noise.

Rumor was Robben used a hand made Dumble Overdrive Special Amp to record this album.
Talk about taking leave of your senses:
Last I checked on Ebay, an original Dumble OD Special was listing at well over $100K.
There's couple of clones out there tonight at $4,250, which is sorta, kind'a right, considering the way new guitar amps at any price are slopped together.
But there is no amplifier on earth, no matter how good it sounds because of how it's put together that's worth $100K.
I can clone one for about $1500. And that, or one of Ken Fischer's Trainwreck amps is on my to do list this coming summer.
It's a wooden box, tubes, transformers, caps, resistors, potentiometers and wires.
But there are people who'll pay the $100K.
And the guitar he's playing, a Fender Elite, is just the Fender Custom shop version of a Les Paul.
Artist Endorsements and all.
-
Check out these two versions of the same acid rock/blues song. Listen to the original version first,and then be blown away by a woman playing it with a violin as the lead instrument,and flat tears it UP! Bet you didn't know you could play wah-wah with a violin,did you?
BTW,don't be thrown by the first few moments in the first version. He's just warming up to play. It gets MUCH better. Trust me on this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aAzdHnYfuk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aAzdHnYfuk)
Eddie Hazel created the original when George Clinton put him in a recording studio surrounded by speakers,and told him to play like he had just heard his mother died,and this is the result.

You can still get the Tubes @To-Whose-Benefit? (Russia)
Yeah. Most of them. Russians couldn't make a cathode for s##t though.
Sovtek's 5881s and 6550s I'd swear by, but their 6V6s are complete crap, which is a problem for players running lower wattage amps.
4 out of every 10 of them I bought got tossed in the trash. 20 minutes to 8 hrs in they'd meltdown: light up a bright orange and blow fuses.
Best 6V6s I ever found were New Old Stock Phillips JAN 6V6s at about $60 bucks a pair. If you've got a Deluxe Reverb, I can't say enough good about them. Nice, broad, well detailed soundstage in the mids, highs all in balance, never shrill or thin and a bottom end that's big, authoritative and never gets flabby.
When Fender introduced the Deluxe Reverb ('63 if I remember) RCA tubes were cheap and plentiful. They'd take anything you threw at them so Fender ran them at a good 20% percent Over the 6V6 design maximum rating to get more output and a brighter sound out of their smaller amps.
Great plan, till the late 60s when the whole industry went transistor on us and we sold off all the tube factory equipment to Russia, Czechoslovakia and China.
The Chinese stuff is garbage. Period, and there's a bunch of it out there being re branded by major retailers.
Ampeg Linden SVTs from the early 70s are another amp you need to buy NOS tubes for. The Russian 6550s are great but Ampeg used preamp tubes that aren't common today, so it's open your wallet for NOS time again. The new production stuff I tried in those ALL went in the trash. Thin, tinny and microphonic. If you're a hard core bass guitar player there's the original SVT, and everything else that's just an Also Ran.
As for the Czech stuff, I like their J&J brand of EL34s for Marshalls, Orange and the like better than the Russian ones, (which will take the insane plate voltages) but you probably shouldn't push your luck running them in old Music Man amps. Plate Voltage in those silly Music Mans is up over 700VDC and you're begging for a meltdown with anything I know of except the Sovtek 34s.

@corbe
Cool. Yeah, there's old Fenders in Europe, and just about everywhere there's players who Demand New Old Stock tubes because they can Hear the difference. RCAs are the Sine Qua Non, but again, like the Dumble Amp, you've got to have money to burn to justify shelling out $450 or more for a lousy Pair of RCA 6L6s. Tubes are like guitar strings, just on a longer timeline. They Wear Out.
In the 80s and 90s Peavey amps were So affordable they got dismissed pretty much out of hand. Had fellas ask me if I could fix one for them, wearing a hang dog look as if they were Ashamed to admit they owned it. "It's JUST a Peavey."
I love them. Bring them up to spec, they sound Great. Unfortunately that's Endemic in the guitar community. I call it the Listening through your Eyes trap. Open up an old Peavey, and if you know what you're looking at, they're a Terrific design.
Buyers get so much advertising BS thrown at them, they buy into it rather than objectively, LISTENING with their EARS.
PC boards are standard today. Didn't used to be. All hand wired was the norm. Labor costs would kill you today. Hand Wired/Hard Wired is now $5,000 on up Custom Shop turf.
When you run an electrical signal through a piece of wire, OR a PC board trace, that wire/trace generates a frequency dependent (therefore in constant flux tracking the pitch of the musical instrument signal,) Magnetic Field surrounding the wire/trace. Wrap a wire in a magnetic field and it will produce a current flowing through the wire.
This is the principle that makes electric motors and generators possible.
Put PC board traces too close together and the Magnetic Fields interact with each other AND, through inductance, the Signal inside the wire/trace. Since High frequencies are the weakest, shortest wave length in the spectrum, this Scrambles the High Freqs throughout the amp and results in a very nasal sounding amplifier.
Peavey however, hired engineers who Knew what they were doing to design their PC boards, and the traces on them are Very Well spread out. Gives the signal room to remain unscrambled because of the distance between the traces Weakening the Magnetic Inductance/Crosstalk between them considerably. They're also Thick, Heavy Duty Boards that stand up well to being bounced around in car trunks and vans.
Anyway, Hartley Peavey, the owner, was asked what inspired him to build his manufacturing plant in, of all places, Meridian Mississippi.
Hartley laughed back at the guy and said. "Hell, I was Born Here. You don't think anyone in their right mind would Move here, do you?"

That'll git er done.
Simple, even on the high dollar stuff, is generally a very Good thing.
Ken Fischer only hand built about 100 of his very collectible Trainwreck Amps.
Look at the inside of this one. You're looking right at the reason they sound so damn good.
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kt-LMhxjOQU/UX_j_NQ-vZI/AAAAAAAAB2I/IGS9wBxd9Nk/s1600/TrainWreck24.JPG)
Every time you Add another gain stage/tube/bell or whistle, you have to couple it to the rest of the circuit through a resistor/capacitor (RC) network.
And each RC network scrubs a bit of the very high frequencies - what we hear as presence or breath in an amp - out of that amp.
Once you've scrubbed them off, NO amount of additional gain staging to pre emphasize, de emphasize, tone sculpt the signal, is going to put that tone back to the way it was, Before.
BTW, if your amp ever quits, dead, on you and the pilot light stays on and the tubes are still glowing but no sound, check the screen resistors on the output tubes. Very common problem with that model.
Just make sure it's unplugged first and the power switch/s are in the ON position. That'll drain the stored voltage out of the filter caps by completing the circuit to ground. And use a DVM to check and be certain the filters are DEAD, before you stick your fingers in there.
-
My own pile of gear is a black Les Paul Custom with my preferred Seymour Duncans, an SH-11 in the bridge and a Pearly Gates at the neck, a '58 Les Paul TV model: double cutaway with 1 P-90 in the bridge, a Partocaster with a wide early 80s Charvel neck, Floyd Rose and 1st edition Duncan Trembucker, and 3 more I built from scratch with bandsaws, routers and such. Jackson Dinky style body same pickups as the LPC, Recessed Floyds, Birdseye necks with a Gibson style 13 degree tilt headstock, Ebony or Rosewood f'boards, (and yes, there IS a Substantial diff in the way they sound, mahogany or alder cores under bookmatched Flame mpl tops. Breather space of about 3/8" inch deep under the PUs like the original Pauls had.
Also got a mid 80s TV yellow SG Standard. Not one of their better years. Norlin. Neck's 1/8th" too narrow at the nut, PU selector switch is in the Wrong Place, and the factory frets were so low it's like they were painted on. Cured the fret Issue, nothing to be done about the neck, and I'm loath to move the switch because Who Knows? Who'd ever have thought 70s large headstock Strats would someday be fetching $1,000 and more?
But it's like sneakers. It's what you get used to.
Amps:
A '68 Twin Reverb I rebuilt/modified from the ground up. 12" inch Eminence 80 watt Celestion style speakers, and only 2 6L6s running in it to cut it down to about 35 watts. Even with a Master Vol just before the Phase Inverter, it's too damn loud to break up running all 4 tubes in it.
I pulled the B+ on the pre amp input tubes down to 185, and the Phase inverter to 245 with the OPs idling at 35 Ma/480 VDC. Also hooked up the Reverb to work on Both input channels so they'll play In Phase with each other, unlike a stock Fender. AND, it gives me TWO channels of real tube drive instead of just one.
I love taking it to sessions with guys I've never played with before. The looks that amp gets from guys with $2K or $3K designer metal head units are priceless. I don't use any pedals. Just straight in with the channels jumpered from the front panel. The tone, authority, dynamics and scream that amp has will claw the eyes right out of almost any Marshall I've ever worked on.
And it's just an ugly old Silver Face Fender. Too funny. Only effect I use is the volume knob on my guitar.
Hated Fenders when I was a kid. Too sterile. Too clean. Wasn't till I learned how to work on them that I realized the circuit was Fine. It was all the idiot distortion governors Fender tacked onto them. Christ, you can cure most of that crap with just a pair of wire cutters.
Also got 2 mid 60s Jennings/Vox AC 30TBs. One with Woden and the other with Albion transformers. Also completely restored but not hot rodded.
They don't need it. With those I'll use a Rat pedal just so I don't have to crank them.
A Mesa Tri Axis and Stereo Simul Class 2/90 through 2 half back 1X12" Black Shadow Celestion cabs is in my collection too. Sometimes you don't know how Loud it'll need to get beforehand, and 8 5881s covers about every contingency.

Those teen magazines like Tiger Beat are still around, it's pretty amazing, like they have never left the newstand, just different artists. Our family was friends of another family and the daughter would read those magazines and she was, only 10 or something like that.
Because the Nazz were mentioned yesterday and I read where @EasyAce said they got their picture in some of those magazines for promotion.

An interesting phenomenon, well, I hope somehow David Cassidy can pull through.

Looking back at it, I'm not sure if Circus, Creem and Rolling Stone were that much different, the argument can be made. Rolling Stone is a waste from way back. Creem and Circus had their niche, they didn't try to preach to their audience.

Some trivia, per Curly Putman above:
The Paul McCartney & Wings hit "Junior's Farm" was inspired by their short stay at Putman's farm in rural Wilson County, Tennessee in 1974.[6] - wikipedia entry:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSu7MQ6KSFc
Also, sounds like he co-wrote this with Bobby Braddock:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=912DKxD0H1U
Also, his last name is Putman, not Putnam.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcRWO-jvjDI
See and raise----sorry, but other than the William Tell Overture I never really wrapped with The Lone
Ranger. Here's the theme for one of the best radio Westerns I ever heard, "Highland Lament" (Charles Williams,
composer), from The Six Shooter (http://www.archive.org/details/OTRR_The_Six_Shooter_Singles):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbT_J8ALF0I
The Six Shooter featured James Stewart as Britt Ponsett (the title role), a laconic, lone-wolf traveler
whose trademark was a swift pistol he refused to use unless he absolutely had to. The series lasted only
a year (1953-54, on NBC) but came to be regarded as one of the best of its breed despite its short life. It also
provided one of the greatest takeoffs on Dickens' A Christmas Carol ever produced.
The Six Shooter, "Britt Ponsett's Christmas Carol" (NBC, 20 December 1953) (http://archive.org/download/OTRR_The_Six_Shooter_Singles/1953-12-20_Ep_14_Britt_Ponsetts_Christmas_Carol.mp3)
Then, of course, there was "Old Trails," the theme for the original radio Gunsmoke. I wish there
were a separate recording of the theme as played by the musicians working the show. Gunsmoke
was the best Western I ever heard, and it beat the television version (which used a lot of the
radio scripts) hollow.

Been listening to a lot of Brother Ray tonight . . .
@EasyAce
There are many good reasons why you almost never heard anyone try to do a song Mr.Charles recorded. There just ain't nothing left in it for anyone else to sing.
Every time I think of Ray Charles I remember the duet he did with Willie Nelson on "7 Spanish Angels".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8A9Y1Dq_cQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8A9Y1Dq_cQ)
They take turns singing the lyrics,and Ray Charles starts out. I am a huge Willie Nelson fan when it comes to his music,but the next sound that should have been heard when Ray finished singing the first verses should have been the sound of the door to the studio slamming as Wille was running for his truck. It would have been a career killer for pretty much any young singer. The only thing that saved Willie is his huge fan base.

Thanks Tom! I actually had the pleasure of seeing him in concert, at the Fillmore East, when he
was touring on that album. Talk about a little voodoo in the hoodoo, or did I have that backwards.
I have a new blues group leaning on the jazzier side and we do a lot of freewheeling group
improvisation, including now working on one involving this cut from that album, which I'm
posting for those who don't want to slog through the whole album (which would be their loss!) . . .

David Cassidy performing at the Empire Pool in Wembley in the 1970s
There has been an outpouring of emotional tributes to the US singer and actor David Cassidy, the 1970s teen pop idol who died on Wednesday.
At the height of his fame, he had a huge fan club - bigger than those of The Beatles and Elvis Presley.
Here, you have been sharing your stories of your encounters with the former teen heartthrob.
Special memories

Here's a product demo/sales pitch for Korg's top of the line keyboard.
All 1 guy/1 instrument, no hidden backing players. Digital audio has finally gotten that good.
The fun - Theme Music from Kevin Costner's Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, starts at about 19:00 minutes in.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex0qDLBHCds
All 1 pass except for a few bits of percussion. Still 1 instrument, just played into its on board sequencer/digital recorder.
They get away with this by assigning different instrument sounds to different ranges of the keyboard, called splits. From middle C on up, etc.
And velocity sensitivity.
Hit the key at level 1 - the softest - and you get concert basses.
A little harder - level 2 - and you get tubas With the basses.
Harder stiil - level 3 - and you get timpanis along with the basses and tubas.
Next time you watch a movie ask yourself how much of it's an orchestra and how much of it's keyboards?

My parents used to LOVE that one.
They were less crazy about Vanilla Fudge and Uriah Heep,though.

Eddie Rabbit, a fine country singer born in NYC, I believe he succumbed to lung cancer in the '90s.
He died in 1998; it took the music world by surprise because his family kept his illness quiet and
didn't report his death publicly until after his burial. He once said his biggest influences were
the vintage Sun Records sides of the 1950s. He caught his first major music industry break as
a songwriter, when Elvis Presley charted with his "Kentucky Rain"; his first crossover hit was
what became the title track to a Clint Eastwood film . . .

Welcoming All Music!

A few birthdays today.
Berry Gordy, founder of Motown records must be the first for today, except where does one start with so many fine acts? I know, he was even active even some time before.
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pfsup86Pxkw#)
Post your favorite Motown.
Kristine Arnold of the Sweethearts of the Rodeo, outstanding song, "Midnight Girl in a Sunset Town"
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=xu_fhW2lFbs#)
And there's one stop-light
Blinkin' on and off
Everyone knows when
Their neighbors cough.
They roll up the streets
When the sun goes down
I'm a midnight girl
In a sunset town.
Gary Troxel of the Fleetwoods, the band is well known for the "Mr. Blue Song" and "Come Softly To Me" if I have that history correct. "The Great Imposter" was in the movie "American Graffiti" and it's pretty good too.

Did some of their members go on to form another group or perform solo, I thought so but can not find any such backup. I thought there was some sort of connection.
They had such a mellow sound.
Beeb Birtles of the Australian group, Little River Band.

I knew someone who actually had his records, I mean my great-uncle was close to 90 in the '80s and I saw he had these.

I knew someone who actually had his records, I mean my great-uncle was close to 90 in the '80s and I saw he had these.
I knew someone who actually had his records, too, and I was told in no uncertain terms that he would
deny having them under oath if I mentioned it to anyone. ;)
I thought he was amusing otherwise, but I'd heard better-executed hayseed humour from the like
of Parker Fennelly---you may remember him as the Pepperidge Farm spokesman, but before that he
played a droll, slow rural type named Titus Moody in the "Allen's Alley" sketches on Fred Allen's
great radio shows of the 1940s---and from Chester Lauck and Norris Goff writing and performing
as radio's Lum & Abner. I've built a collection of about 15,000 old-time radio shows and counting
(I just added the entire surviving run of Big Town to the collection), and the original 15-minute
Lum & Abner shows are some of the prizes in that library.
But RIP, Mr. Nabors.
