A couple of weeks ago I lost my entire left side! ?

I'm all right now. ?

Dad: "No sun.”

Probably move out of the USA to perhaps Australia, continue making aftermarket styles and songbook files for Band-in-a-Box, and develop gig opportunities.

At my age, the odds of getting a top 40 hit and going on tour are slim to none.

I spent 5 weeks in Australia and found the people to be much more civil and civilized that we have gotten to be in the divided USA.

Plus it's less crowded down there, in the north it's a lot like the Florida of my childhood.

And they sorta speak English, so I can learn the language there eventually.

I love the USA, but between the propaganda stations disguised as news from both the left and the right, we have gotten uncivilized and downright nasty at times. I know they oligarchs figured they could divide and conquer, and that seems to be the game plan.

Sorry if that's too political.

I'm going to guess you haven't been "Down Under" in the last couple of years...  They now make the foolishness being propagated on U.S. citizens look like nothing!  Truly horrible conditions now (and very sad).

I have never had a great desire to travel out of country - but the one exception would be Japan. Would love to travel there. Plus Keiko Matsui is one of the best.

Now THAT'S one lady I have all her albums of!

It's my go-to when it's cold outside and I've got a fire going in the fireplace. ?

That guy looks like he needs more fiber! ?

I think this is a little bit more attractive, ya? ?

Ok, and back on topic! ?

Sparks - This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us

 

Shouldn't that green part be on Pet Sounds? ?

With the new lineup mentioned in the last video.

Oh, and for Dave, you can confirm at 5:04 that the second keyboard is indeed a Roland RD-700, but actually an RD-700 GX! ?

Alembic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Alembic is a legendary creature that has been described since antiquity as a bass made with unobtainium and posted about in forums far and wide!

?

I'd find a much safer and saner place to live and fly there.  Then I'd use the money to buy something that will hold it's value and do so quickly before it becomes worth a lot less!

Then I would play my guitar.

(I was told to keep it music related, ya? ?)

Starting with Dave's video, I've been checking out the stuff from both the bass player (Juna Serita) and the saxophonist Harumo Imai.  I'm liking a LOT of what I see hear! ?

(Ok, so I'm already in virtual love with the saxophonist and lusting after the bass player too.  Oh well! ?)

Here's a playlist for Harumo:

 

And now my question.  I'm really liking this kind of music and I'm sure I probably have some in my collection but...  Maybe you guys can give me a few artists in this genre to try out?

But, but, I got a nice Jiffy Lube Fathers Day coupon!  Doesn't that count???  ?

Heh, I'm watching (and listening to) it again!

Eye candy AND ear candy!

(And wishing I was young again.  That sax player and bassist are wonderful.  *Sigh...*)

Agree on that too. Mebee a tie called on that one?

Is that a looking-glass tie?

Agreed. But let's not forget that Sgt Pepper was partly inspired by and greatly influenced by Pet Sounds, according to Sir Paul himself.

The album or a private fetish? ?

?

So, instead, here's a song about a city!

 

No.  I will NOT be following that up with Jefferson Airplane's We Built This City turd! 

I've gotta thank you again for that link Dave!  Videos from THIS channel have just started appearing in my YouBoob recommendations!  Looks like I'm going to be busy today.  ?

I think they're all named Yum Yum. ?

It's bugging me that I can't identify the bottom keyboard...

First of all, I've always had an affinity for Asian ladies (especially Japanese), so I'm enjoying that video in about all ways possible!  (Boy are they good too!)

As for that bottom keyboard, it's a Roland RD700!  Check out about 1:08 into the video.

Must ... not ... post ... Diana Ross ...

Poor Diana! ?

Heh, I still remember mine!  It was a too expensive Turtle Beach MIDI interface (with onboard General MIDI sounds!) that I used to help Greg betatest Cakewalk v1.0 with!
