Lyrics > "Misty green and blue"

And just an awesome live song!

While getting Misty Blue for the other thread, I ran into this song.  I forgot just how much I liked it!

Misty Blue

Just did a little bit of research.  Turns out Danny was married at the time to Geri Eisenmenger and it wasn't a son sitting next to me, but his daughter Lola (born in 1979).  The concert would have been their second Halloween gig in 1987.  I was at the first too, but sat in the back.  Interestingly, I was able to find a video of the concert!  No crowd shots that I could see though...  The best part was I took the girl from work named Terry that the entire office called Alice (as in Alice in Wonderland) because she had this awesome, flowing blond hair.  😁

Ah, memories... 😊

Internet rat-hole report: so I went looking for "Danny Elfman's wife" who it turns out has been Bridget Fonda since 2003. Which answers another long-posed question, why did she disappear from the movies?

News comes slowly to these parts . . . very slowly.

Didn't know that!  I only saw them for several shows.  I happened to work with a guy named Jorge who was Danny's neighbor in Malibu.  They were good friends who both loved B movies even though Jorge wasn't fond of Danny's music.  However, when he found out that Oingo Boingo was one of my favorite bands (and I was even a member of Steve Bartek's forum - a really nice guy!), he asked Danny for tickets.   Their Halloween show was pretty famous so I was very jazzed to get free tickets to it!  We were right in the front row with the so-called "mosh pit" in front of us.  I was told that the lady to my left was his wife and the kid with blue hair was his, but I just looked and his son, Oliver, was born until 2005...  No idea there! 

What a fun time!

Which is better, live or studio?

Yes. 😁

There's a good chance I was at that concert too!  I was towards the back for most of their Irvine gigs, except for the famous Halloween show where I sat with Danny's wife and kid!  🙂👍

At least you didn't get a lump of coal 😆

Yet, under pressure, that lump of coal becomes a diamond.

For most of today's music, news, TV shows and movies, hearing loss might be a protective measure!

I don't listen to wrap. 😁

I read somewhere that Sonar X1 was the most stable Sonar release ever. Can't remember where I read that. 😉

Not all stable releases are desirable Shane!  🤣

That cheap laptop, Craig? Blue light special or red light district? Just asking for clarification……

Get it from a Pmart.

(Now, feel free to read that last word backwards if you wish!  Sheesh!  What kinda Doc are you anyway??? 🤔😆)

All our masks were hung by the fire with care just in case Santa might need a spare! 😷😁

So is this a new thread “on the side”?

It's been done already. 😆

I sure wouldn't post most of the "on the side" recommendations I get!  I guess that's why today's stood out as pretty awesome.  🙂

I seem to recall that the some versions weren't very stable... 😁

I only use Adblock Plus on everything.  I don't use my phone for casting though...  Just pick up a cheap, used laptop - it's worth it!

If God rests me cuz I'm merry, Am I dead now?

Well...  You never really thought someone would rescue Cakewalk and give it away for free while you were still alive did you?

😜

No ad blockers???  Just connect a computer (old laptop, etc.) to your TV using an HDMI cable (though there are casting devices too) then using a browser to get to YouTube.  Then get Adblock Plus and you won't have any commercials!  I KNOW this works since it's all I do.  😉
