Right into the birthdays, with an early start:
The great Don McLean and we know what that name means:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngDJIjbAvz4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wrNFDxCRzU
And the great Jo-El Sonnier, Cajun music:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M0AMM637s4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viY4kXNLLnE
Robert Russell "Chubby" Wise from apparently, the experts tell us, the Union Northern State of Kentucky, :silly: playing with Bill Monroe's Bluegrass boys... among others.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKtK6n6l5_c

More birthdays,
The one and only Sting:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLVq0IAzh1A
My favorite Police song though, not a real signature song like "Roxanne", "Every Breath You Take", Don't Stand So Close To Me" or even "Message In A Bottle".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wybYRYOWS0
Mike Rutherford of Mike and the Mechanics:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P_hVjKJzJk
Chris Ledoux, in the early '90s, folks really thought he'd be the next big thing, he did pass away, so God Rest His Soul:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfdwn909yE4
Richard Hell of Television, the Void-Oids, curiously, born in that Yankee state of Kentucky too; :silly:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O07Mc_KIB2M

I have to add in one more, for "modern day performers", a lot of people like the Alabama Shakes and they are indeed, a very talented band who have gained a lot of attention. Blues Rock.
"1988, Born on this day, American musician Brittany Howard, best known as lead vocalist and guitarist of Alabama Shakes..."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQEbAlFw5_0
Otherwise, a few repeats today, with members of Redbone and the Beau Brummels among others.
The late "Lolly Vegas" of Redbone with his band in 1961, the Downbeats:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmVrgs37n5U
Redbone tribute: http://eaglecondorproductions.weebly.com/redbone-tribute---in-memory-of-lolly-vegas--tony-bellamy.html
All due respect to the band, but to me, they seemed largely like Mexican-Americans or Chicanos, which still can mean Native Americans; but those are Hispanic last names.

Some news reports, not all, have reported Tom Petty has passed. At the least, he sounds brain-dead and pulled off life support.

It's confirmed by his manager: Tom Petty is dead.
Considering the way things came forth---first he was dead, then he was rushed to the hospital,
then on life support, then off life support, now confirmed gone---this song seems cruelly appropriate,
but RIP Mr. Petty . . .

4 October 2017 Wednesday Music Thread:::: Welcoming All Music!!!
Proof now, these links do post duplicate birthdays though, I'm sure there is an innocent explanation. I will cover that last.... and that is why,
So, some birthdays per the links:
http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/born_today ; http://www.onthisday.com/music/birthdays/october/4
Clifton Davis, more famous for being an actor, but it is his birthday, he was in some sitcom where he played a barber; so perhaps the first Barbershop comedy for the African American community and he's saluting the troops. P.S. It was a very funny show.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_8LrY0nUEE
Jody Stephens of Big Star, Big Star is the group of Alex Chilton after he left the Boxtops ("The Letter", "Soul Deep" too, I think)

Continued- Birthdays:
Country singer, Gene Watson:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgxkMlJG4hE
Leroy Van Dyke, I believe he honed his skills while he served during the Korean war over there. Most of these artists can be researched easily.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FItdgMQCYVI
Also sang "Walk On By", the "Asleep and the Wheel" band deemed it as a classic and covered it also some time later:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_IGphZV8WI
All sources say that the late country singer Dottie West's birthday is October 11th, not October 4th, but she is listed (for both days), so I thought, I'd just put in this duet she sang with Kenny Rogers.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=rOCjqzbhOZ4
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dottie_West
Dottie came from a really dirt poor background in Tennessee, her story is actually heartbreaking to learn. She also aided Patsy Cline, when Patsy was in a car accident. Her song "Paper Mansions" is excellent, I do not know her other work that well. We will see in about a week's time.

. . . 10cc co-founder/co-composer and music video pioneer Kevin Godley . . .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixi_fYvcxn0
(Trivia: When Godley and his normal writing partner Lol Creme brought this song
to 10cc while recording The Original Soundtrack, the band loved it . . . until
it came time to pick who would sing the lead. Godley, Creme, and Eric Stewart
ran tail, leaving Graham Gouldman to do it. And its mocking pastiche of all those
cliched Hollywood film showstoppers climaxed the album brilliantly.)

My personal favourite from Dino Valente (Chet Powers), my pick for his absolute
highlight with Quicksilver Messenger Service, the one time his annoyingly reedy
voice actually wasn't annoying and maybe the best song he ever wrote . . .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBvjXhUSUpU
Valente was actually supposed to be in the founding lineup of Quicksilver but
a bust for marijuana took him out of action and Quicksilver became a very
different proposition, becoming one of the best jam groups of the original
San Francisco scene, hooked around the twin guitars of John Cipollina and
Gary Duncan . . .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCHsV-zDypg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDIkBtKOq1I
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMvh3Qi0KKc
Duncan left the group abruptly after Happy Trails, rumoured to have
been shall we say a guest of California law enforcement. His unlikely
replacement: British pianist and session titan Nicky Hopkins (at the time,
only Jimmy Page was a more frequent go-to guy for recording sessions).
Hopkins's arrival nudged Quicksilver into a slight change of direction, but
Valenti's return changed it completely when he re-joined in 1970---he
became the dominant songwriter (often under the pseudonym Jesse Oris
Farrow) and the group's unchallenged leader. I don't know what that says
about his personality or their increasing lack of real direction, but he did
write a couple of classics including "Fresh Air" and the aforenoted "What
About Me." It wasn't enough to restore Quicksilver's fading momentum;
the band died quietly circa 1973-74. (A brief comeback bid in 1976 bombed.)
Valente recorded one solo album after his parole in 1968 and before re-joining
Quicksilver. It has something of the legend attached to former Moby Grape
co-founder Skip Spence's Oar, though Valente wasn't quite as intriguing
as Spence as a musician or lyricist and that impossibly reedy voice was bound
to guarantee that no matter how interesting the songs---he did most of them
with just his voice and 12-string acoustic guitar---anyone who bought it would
barely be able to sit through one complete listening. He probably should have
stuck to songwriting and let others record his material; if he'd re-joined
Quicksilver and contented himself only with writing material, the group might
have survived.

Obviously, some big names were born today. Perhaps, this should be put on autopilot and allow others too chip in.

Sorry about that, so, a significant error in a thread that often keys in on birthdays. I've made plenty of these errors, I think that is the first time, the wrong month was posted. Maybe it has to do with the "automatic" fill out that pops up.

@pookie18 @TomSea
No worries, guys. I tend to find humor in small things like that.

Trivia about the Skyliners and "Since I Don't Have You": It charted higher on the black music
chart of the time than the pop chart: the song went to number three R&B and number 12 pop.
Meanwhile, birthdays today also include jazz saxophonist/wind player Yusef Lateef, a pioneer in
bringing Eastern sounds and styles to jazz who could still blow the blues with the best of them . . .

Line Rider - Mountain King
by DoodleChaos
Published on Oct 7, 2017
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIz3klPET3o
I synchronized the song "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg to my first line rider track drawing everything by hand. It took me over a month of my free time to create. Hope you enjoy!
Also quick warning for headphone users, the song starts off quiet and gets a lot louder.
Big thanks to Conundrumer and Rabid Squirrel for the help and inspiration. Links to their channels are below.

Additional birthdays and in fact, this seems to mainly hail from the Cincinnati area, they were around in 1939 as below and apparently, modern versions have existed, the Coon Creek Girls with Minnie Ledford:

http://www.hillbilly-music.com/artists/index.php
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coon_Creek_Girls
On June 8, 1939, when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited the White House of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, there were numerous musical acts, including Lawrence Tibbett, Marian Anderson, and Kate Smith.[1] Also included were a troupe of Bascom Lunsford's square dancers and the Coon Creek Girls.[2]

Wednesday, October 11th, 2017 Music Thread...All Music Is Welcome, Rock, Jazz, You name it....
Let's look at some birthdays today, overall, a rather lowkey day I believe...
http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/born_today
http://www.onthisday.com/music/birthdays.php
Andrew Woolfolk, Saxophonist for Earth, Wind and Fire:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQxr_srTFN4
Daryl Hall of Hall and Oates, these two still perform:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYEpFJhuu1E
And now, it is Dottie West's birthday, I have to say, to me, it looks like she became a bit of the Cher of country music in the 1970s/early '80s, per her performance costumes in some cases. I think she did it for commercial reasons, there is reason to believe because she was very straight laced in the 1960s.
(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.spinner.com/media/2010/08/dottie-west-200pg080510.jpg)
To this:
(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/38/8c/62/388c627ead6d7e0a0a7b1b5ab51b6e06.jpg)
Her hair kind of reminds me to the feathery Farrah Fawcett look of back then but make no mistake about it, a lovely woman.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dottie_West
Her bio; she was in a car wreck in the Nashville area, she did not think she was hurt badly and she insisted others get medical attention first. The truth is the accident caused some damage to her internal organs that sadly, she ended up dying from.
She co-wrote the coca-cola jingle:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIISuDG7lIs
Many have certainly heard this, "I was raised on country sunshine."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSramdE4B6U
Dottie West singing "Paper Mansions" from 1967.

We might check a few birthdays:

Major Performer, Paul Simon:

A defining song of the era.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-XCmb6t6Zw
Chris Farlowe who had a big hit with the Jagger/Richards penned tune, "Out of Time", over in the UK, he's the one they associate with that song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpDjbul0WyE
Quite a few more birthdays today, lots today, not that many on the 14th, Saturday.
Sammy Hagar, the Red Rocker, associated with acts such as Van Halen, Montrose and his own solo career.

More birthdays:
It seems this past week, we had 2 Dixie Chicks birthdays, somehow I missed them and they aren't mentioned today, so belatedly:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4_wXPZ1Bnk
And country performer, Lacy J. Dalton, this one I actually remember hearing on the radio, I will need to try to listen to more of her music:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4AlsATjj_M
Marie Osmond: I believe this song was sung previously by different performers but Marie owns it. A bit of a "country pop" song maybe, not the first thing to put on the turntable but enjoyable. If only she had other hits like this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=32&v=2qi5cqUesf8
Lovely. For fans, one might check out "Meet Me In Montana" that charted also, but a lot of TV success for Marie apparently.
Nana, Nana Moskouri of Greece, actually pretty good and she sings in a number of languages.

@EasyAce
I know it's not that important to you and you are just remarking on it but I am in one forum and this guy there, starting from about the end of November, maybe even much earlier, posted a Christmas Doo-Wop song every day.
So, it is sort of forum styled celebrating the holidays.
A lot of rock and roll/rock themes are really close to a lot of what Halloween is about.
From your dark themes to Marilyn Manson to Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper to say things like the Monster Mash; Buck Owens even has a Halloween song, I might post that tomorrow, it pretty innocent.

Who first sang "Paper Roses" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_Roses) apparently was Anita Bryant. That what happened with Anita Bryant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Bryant) in the 1970s; just a pretty sad time, it seems she became a hated woman. It's not for me to judge, I know she was very successful being the spokeswoman for Florida Orange Juice, but that was not the right career choice if one was going to have a controversial view on some issues, discussed at the wikipedia entries, I don't want to get into that too much. I don't think she was being malicious or meaning to be that way and was just following her beliefs.

Her first marriage collapsed after the Miami-Dade gay ordinance controversy; ultimately, she came
to believe---and she said so publicly---"live and let live but don't flaunt it." Which may have contributed
to the marital collapse as much as her first husband's reported abusiveness did. She eventually
remarried happily; he never remarried and died bitterly in 2012 blaming the gay world for the end
of his marriage.

I usually plan and look a bit at the first website: On this day.
Some birthdays today:
Mickey Baker of Mickey and Sylvia, singers of "Love Is Strange." I read a bit on Baker, his guitar playing has actually been influential. I didn't know that song was from 1956, so very early rock and roll.

I don't often like it when they make some songs "reggae" as McCartney though that was in the vogue in the '70s, I like Holly's soft rock version, Dolly and Kenny's is real good and was a commercial success.

Faithful to the original.
The Beatles might have included "Love is Strange" in some of their club sets around Liverpool and
Hamburg before their own songwriting began making up the lion's share of those sets, but I don't
know of any recording of them playing the song. I have both Live at the BBC collections
featuring them playing almost as many of the cover numbers they did in the earlier Liverpool-
Hamburg days but "Love is Strange" isn't among them. My personal favourite of those Live at
the BBC covers is their version of Little Eva's "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby," the record
she cut as a follow-up to "The Loco-Motion."

I remember Nico. I had an older cousin who introduced me to the Velvets and had a "thing" for her. So glad he did, I fell in love with Lou Reed
-
@Freya
I've met someone who claims to have had known Lou Reed; and at least, in the 1970s, he lived up to being a pretty wild character. That's hearsay but I found it somewhat believable but it wouldn't really be for me to say much more about this. I certainly did not experience it.

Bob Crosby and the Bobcats - Dear Hearts And Gentle People
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXNOz-HkoOM
JazzGalaxie
Published on Dec 10, 2009
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXNOz-HkoOM
Bob Crosby (August 23, 1913, Spokane, Washington March 9, 1993, La Jolla, California) was an American dixieland bandleader and vocalist, best known for his group Crosby and the Bob-Cats.
Bob Crosby began singing with Anson Weeks (1931-34) and the Dorsey Brothers (1934-35). He led his first band in 1935, when the former members of Ben Pollack's band elected him as titular leader. His most famous band, the Bob-Cats, was a Dixieland jazz group with members from the Bob Crosby Orchestra. Both the Bob Crosby Orchestra and the smaller Bob-Cats group specialized in Dixieland jazz, presaging the traditional jazz revival of the 1940s. Crosby's singing voice was remarkably similar to that of his brother Bing, but without its range.
The Bob Crosby Orchestra and the Bob Cats included (at various times) Yank Lawson, Billy Butterfield, Muggsy Spanier, Matty Matlock, Irving Fazola, Ward Silloway, Warren Smith, Eddie Miller, Joe Sullivan, Bob Zurke, Jess Stacy, Nappy Lamare, Bob Haggart, Walt Yoder, Jack Sperling, and Ray Bauduc. Arrangements for the orchestra were often done by a young trumpeter by the name of Gilbert Portmore who, during the time he was a WWII fighter pilot in the South Pacific, started an Air Force swing band known as Cap'n Portmore's Hepcats.[1]
The orchestra was actually led by sax player Gil Rodin, with Crosby himself simply the front man, chosen for his personality, looks, and famous last name.[2]
Hits included "Summertime" (theme song), "In a Little Gypsy Tea Room", "Whispers in The Dark", "South Rampart Street Parade", "March of the Bob Cats", "Day In, Day Out", "You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby", "Dolores" and "New San Antonio Rose" (last three with Bing Crosby). A bass and drums duet between Haggart and Bauduc, "Big Noise from Winnetka," became a hit in 1938-39.
Bob Crosby has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, for Television and Recording.
Three of his songs were featured in the successful 2008 role-playing video game Fallout 3. The tracks included were the hits "Way Back Home" (from the 1949 Danny Kaye film "The Inspector General"), "Happy Times" and "Dear Hearts and Gentle People", variously played either on the in-game radio station 'Galaxy News Radio' or the promotional trailers.

The legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd, 40 years after plane crash tragedy
Wendy GellerSenior Editor, Yahoo Entertainment
It’s hard to believe that four decades have passed since one of rock’s best-known tragedies occurred. On Oct. 20, 1977, a chartered Convair CV-240 plane carrying Lynyrd Skynyrd — in the midst of a headlining tour and having released their fifth album, Street Survivors, three days prior — crashed in a Gillsburg, Miss., swamp after running out of fuel.
The toll was dire. Three band members (Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and backup singer Cassie Gaines, Steve’s older sister) perished; the others were all severely injured. Drummer Artimus Pyle, one of the few survivors able to walk, staggered out for help and was allegedly shot at by an alarmed farmer. Record label MCA scrambled to replace Skynyrd’s Street Survivors album cover, which eerily forecast the accident by depicting the band members engulfed in flames.

didn’t come into the business to be known; I came into the business to write songs. My

I was doing what I loved to do. I didn’t care if the public knew who I was or not.
---Ellie Greenwich.
She was the greatest melody writer of all time.---Brian Wilson.
The one time Ellie Greenwich sought attention for what she did, during her hitmaking
years, she got aboard a New York subway and saw and hear a group of kids singing
"Chapel of Love" for about 20 minutes. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore. She smiled
and told them, "Excuse me, but I wrote that song." The kids cracked up and one of them
hollered, "Sure you did, Blondie." They quit laughing when Greenwich showed them her
driver's license and suggested they look at the record label when they got home.

Many of us know of Fats Domino big hits, I once saw a boxset of his music, all of his music and it was a lot.
86 song, maybe even 124 song boxset, this might be it.
(https://i.ebayimg.com/thumbs/images/g/8r8AAOSwopRYhVrD/s-l225.jpg)
Someday maybe I'll get it.

Beatles song, styled after Fats Domino per most sources like the bass player.
Sheryl Crowe sings "I'm gonna be a wheel someday", Cheap Trick's "Aint that a shame" is well known thanks to the intro, Ricky Nelson sang his music, "I'm walking" and others.
Fats was also caught out during Hurricane Katrina, there was no word from him for awhile.

ALL MUSIC IS WELCOME
Friday, October 27th, 2017 Music Thread (Halloween Weekend)
Well, it's not exactly Halloween weekend but close to it, I think it's next Tuesday or so.
Speaking of Australia as we have this week, not just with the Easy Beats but Helen Reddy and whomever else, the Beasts of Bourbon are from down under but one wouldn't know it.
Kicking off with their rendition, excellent cover of Eddie Noack's "Psycho" (original from around the time of that movie, 1960 or so?) Disclaimer: The language is a bit intense for an oldie, ol' Wacky Eddie Noack's songs, not all of them, often had this darker side. For the record, Elvis Costello and others have also covered this.

So from that to the birthdays,
Ol' Lee Greenwood, I had listened to his music back in the day and he wrote the following song and became incredibly successful with that song, sure, like many other country artists he had his love songs. I think it took a while before it was realized he wrote a great patriotic song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q65KZIqay4E
An this next artists, I couldn't find a lot on, some videos but an interesting entry per his birthday:
1924 Gary Chester [Cesario Gurciullo], drummer (Monkees, Lovin' Spoonful) and drum instructor, born in Siracusa, Italy (d. 1987)
Continuing, Jack Daniels of Highway 101, Rodney Crowell co-wrote (or fully wrote) this one:

Wayne Fontana:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3kXqlJhGuE
Wayne Fontana didn't sing "A Groovy Kind of Love"---he left the Mindbenders well before they recorded
the song. There were those who knew the group at the time who swore Fontana had a solo career in
mind from the moment his and the Mindbenders' cover of Major Lance's "Um, Um, Um, Um, Um" hit
number five in England. After "Game of Love" went to number two in the UK and number one in
America, Fontana and the Mindbenders toured the States (they had to prove to U.S. immigration
authorities that "Game of Love"'s success justified their doing so first), went back to England, and
Fontana dropped the bombshell on the band smack dab in the middle of a show---their next couple
of singles hadn't done as well as "Game of Love" and Fontana simple walked off stage, telling
guitarist Eric Stewart, "It's All Yours."
(Trivia: Wayne Fontana's real name was Glyn Geoffrey Ellis; contrary to one former myth, he didn't
take his stage name at the behest of his record label, which was also called Fontana---he took it
in admiration of Elvis Presley's original drummer, D.J. Fontana. Fontana and bassist Bob Lang were
the only members of their original lineup to show up for an important audition; the pair all but
shanghaied Stewart and drummer Rick Rothwell---who were at the club but not scheduled to
play---into completing the lineup, and they got more than they bargained for: they were auditioning
for a regular gig at the club and ended up with a recording contract. When Fontana walked out of
the Mindbenders in the middle of that show, the group took to referring to him in the future as
"our former tambourine player.")
Stewart and the Mindbenders carried on with "A Groovy Kind of Love" in 1966 and, arguably, the first
concept album in British rock, With Woman in Mind. (It was never released in the U.S., but it
beat the Beatles, the Pretty Things, the Kinks, and the Who to the concept punch and is considered a lost
jewel of British rock.) The Mindbenders found themselves unable to pick good singles while making
solid albums (actually, their singles were pretty good, but they preferred to look outside themselves
for singles material despite Stewart maturing as a songwriter, at a time when original material was
very much the preference)---and getting the coveted gig of being the band playing the dance in the
gym near the climax of To Sir, With Love---but by the end of 1968, the personnel shifted and
Stewart was the only original Mindbender left.
The end of the Mindbenders did prove fortuitous in one respect---songwriting star Graham Gouldman
joined the group near its finish. He and Stewart would go on, after one or two other stops along the
way, first creating Strawberry Studios and then becoming half of 10cc.

@EasyAce
Moody Blues trivia
When Frank Zappa hired Steve Vai, Vai asked him for advice; expecting some great musical insight.
Zappa had 3 words for him.
"Keep Your Publishing."
'Go Now' went gold and after the contractual Industry smoke cleared they wound up with $500.00 to split 6 ways.
Next stop was creating Threshold Records.
"Keep your publishing" (rights) indeed.

First off, on October 30, 1900, The great Mexican composer, songwriter, performer, pianist (and he really is) Agustin Lara was born in Veracruz. Belated Birthday wish.

Mexico has really had charm in the past, it really has fallen on hard times. He has many others.
"Yo naci bajo la luna de plata, y naci con alma de pirata"... from his song Veracruz which has a big fortress around it on the sea like Havana.
