Hi Guy's , I have run across a few movies and documentary's where where Bands, Music , and gifted players have been featured . In some cases these movies and DVD's have revealed many facts and details about the musicians and the bands history I had not been aware of . What I would like to do here in this thread is to create a space where forum members can place their Movie / DVD recommendations w links to their favored flicks featuring players, bands , or anything you feel can bring value to us here on the forum ... It doesn't matter how humble or great the production is . If you have it or know about it please share it ... This post is merely an opening post , I plan on coming back here to add a few recent flicks I have recently posted in other threads . Thank you for considering sharing your flicks in advance , Kenny

I hope I can stick around . Thank you for the Kind Word Starise . Kenny

You know you have a real winner of a car that you will always be proud to drive when all the cars body work is from different cars ... not Kenny

I'm glad your feeling better . Best of luck with your health Kenny

I know about that feeling Yes I do . Last year I started to puff up . The short story was I had been experiencing my first round with Heart problems . I went from my so called normal weight give or take 10 pounds to looking like I was ready to enter my 3rd trimester ... Large Jazz Box's felt like they were in another Zip code . It turns out I had over 40 pounds of fluid retention ....Doc told me my body thought I was bleeding out so it went into a mode where it held on to my fluids . Since I had to take on a whole new health challenge and stick w it ... lowering my sodium intake and eliminating just about every thing I like to eat . I can say I'm back down in my weight w out the extra fluids and I'm doing my best to follow my treatment ... have a good one Kenny

Grumpy Cat needs to get out on the dance floor and have a little fun Kenny

Say , do you know if they are hiring life guards or assistant coach's for the women's swim team at the school where your brother used to swim at ? Kenny

911 , whats your emergency ? It's Valentines Day and I do not have a date ... OK sir , have you tried " Rent A Friend " ? they may be better equipped to assist you in solving your problem ...The 911 number is only to be used for an emergency ... Alright , I didn't know and I'm real sorry to have bothered you .... Sir , It wasn't too much of a bother. It has been a slow night at the call center so far ...I had the time to chat w you as rare as that is ...also I like reaching out to the community and trying to help sooth a troubled soul . Oh cool , is there any way you might feel like helping me get over some of my troubles by getting together with me after you get off work to have a late night cup of coffee ? I'm sorry , I can't do that but I will keep you in my warmest thoughts tonight as I work through my shift . I sincerely hope that you can get through this situation over to the other side .... I'm sorry if I had crossed a line ... No you didn't Sir , it has been my complete pleasure to have served you in the only capacity I can as a temporary rest stop for you to collect your thoughts . Whew , I'm glad to hear I didn't cross any lines with you mam ... Well Sir , you have a good night . Thank you very much you too ...... DUKE ! where the heck did you hide all my clean rags? and the brand new jar of Coco-butter ??????? hehehhehhehhe , I'm not telling you Kenny , Now take me out for a long walk and when your done cleaning up my poop remember it will be time to bring me home and feed me my big meal of the day ... Ay Carrumba I can't win no matter what I do around here I may as well just practice my guitar and do a little recording in BandLab... after playing the guitar for about an hour ..... Hello operator can you please give me the number for"Rent A Friend " (note to self , I sure hope they take grocery store coupons ...or else I'm in deep dooo dooo for tonight date wise ) Kenny

Bingo We Have A Winner .🤣 Kenny

Behold The Akashic Record BS meter . This thread sorely needs one of these Kenny

Well , that all depends on who you are where you do all your swimming. If you happen to be at your local gym doing laps in the Olympic sized swimming pool and the Life Guard yells out too you " Hey Shamu its time for you to get out of the Pool. We are about ready to close " and then you come out of the water dripping wet reaching for the towels wearing only a Speedo .... ......😮 you tell me Kenny

Love The George Benson Ibanez 🤩 you have there Bill . Tarzan Want ....heck if my Valentines Day keeps going the way it is, I can probably take all my unused Date Money and Get One .... Hhhmmm , can I grind my own beans for a while to get a sweet guitar I have always wanted ? ...hell yeah .... Tarzan over and out 🤣

Yes Bob , In addition to hiding a large beer belly , a Gibson Jumbo can effectively hide National Geographic Knee Knocker Sized moob's . A large generous side order of Muffin Top Love handles and a Bedazzled in Gold Sparkle Manley version of a J. Lo Wide Berth Beginner Sized Twerking Patoot .... If cash is low as it may be for some musicians , An Epiphone Jumbo can work very well in a pinch . nice talking w you , Kenny

Hey cool , One out of 20,199. actually trumps my average of one in every 27, 435 . have a good one Kenny

WOW what a diff ,. Absolutely stunning transformation you have done there w the picture Steve ... all the best. Kenny ....

🤣 Watch out for girl power ...All the girls these days ( including wives ) Have NOW got The Power ... Oh BTW , Nice Wall .... Very nice James , Kenny & Duke like your guitar/ instrument wall. Nice cool setup you have there BassDaddy , Your room uses space with very nice clean simple lines . Ouch, My guess is the low rent condo's in Vantuckey don't have walls w studs in them . just kidding around w you my man ... Kenny

Sad but quite possibly true .... 😂 Hey , You got one out of 20,199. ...just messing w you ...have a good one ... Overall , I agree with you there James . Liberty 's sections of the film had me sitting on the edge of my chair . He seems like a no nonsense straight shooter from the hip . A few decades of playing and hanging around with the same band members and having the same boss could have taken it's toll . Who knows the truth about what happened since we only heard one side of the story . This dialog does seem to bring up an interesting point . What happens when you find out about a band or a musician that was placed on a lofty pedestal (by oneself) Then over time the back story comes out and the facts indicate they had questionable integrity or in plain English they were just a Douche ? That's one thing about watching these type of films I find interesting ...I find out so much stuff I didn't know about some of my hero's .... It's not always good , in some cases it may even be tragic ....ex Terry Kath playing Russian roulette w a non revolver / a semi auto pistol w one in the chamber ...sad indeed all the best, Kenny

Kenfucius say Guitar player who constantly asks G F and close friends " Does this guitar make me look fat" ? no longer has flat tummy ... K.

I would like to apologize to Bill in advance for posting this in his thread 🤣 Nice pics guys ...I wish I could do that someday ..... Apt living where I live I wouldn't even take the chance ...At the very least Ole Duke might lift up his back leg and mark all my geetars. Kenny

I like them ..great band ...Terry Kath Whew Great player ... Why not start a thread on it ? I'm sure people would respond ..... I found out a long time ago a little sobering nugget of truth ...nobody will ever do anything for me or my music until they can exploit me and make money off my a$$. It don't matter how nice they put it to you That Is The Game ... Kenny

Thank you Steve , I am a harmless "trying too be funny nut job " in real life ... You have always been a good sport ... thanks . That one got a laugh from me ...over here in a way that shoe seems to fits ..I went from whats happening to what happened in the looks department Say did you know , There are two types of handsome people in the World .... We have the type of handsome people that go to places where they hope to be seen . The places they often frequent always seem to have plenty of mirrors and reflective glass all over the place . Then we have " handsome people " that wouldn't be caught dead in such a vulnerable bone chillingly open to visual scrutiny place .. At least they have one thing going for them . They always tip the dancers pretty good. Kenny

Yes count me in as someone who also enjoys watching documentary’s like this . In the 80's going into a Recording Studio with a band that was signed or even going in with an unsigned band for that matter was not something people did every day . Booking a studio was very expensive back then . Many of the people that I recorded for back then would be cutting money corners in one area , splurging in other areas , lying to peoples face's ( like mine ) while looking right into your eyes , paying this one who is not with the band thinking since they are paying them they will get their moneys worth while the unpaid band member sits there and gets no money even though he knows what best for the song because he or she wrote half of it The sad part is the leader then treats those player like $hit because the leader does not value the players playing credentials anymore and they start taking the players song contributions for granted .. A Quick 80's story's In the Late 70's early 80's I was on music row in NYC working at a music store . Bobby Nathan had started to get real serious with his recording studio Unique Recording . He went from 8 tracks to 16 to 24 tracks in a real short period of time as those higher track boards were coming out ..I wound up playing my guitar for a recording session over there at Unique when I think he was still only 8 tracks . The Artist who was laying down their own music was not know by the average Joe on the street , but the person did in fact know people in the music bizz and they wanted to put their best foot forward so they could hopefully get signed or have something move forward in their music career . I was working on Spec ( the most hated word in my vocabulary ) in addition to me , one or two of the other session players that knew her pretty well did her the favor ...The session was going great all the players were gelling and we had a decent set of song basic tracks to work from . The Artist was a good guitarist in her own right and she wanted some nice sustained flowing emotive guitar playing from me . I remember feeling real stoked when I had been given the opportunity to play my 59 Telecaster into a Mesa Boogie for my guitar solo's ... Back then they queued up the analog tape and had me punch in my guitar solo's ...I was grooving , my playing was grooving , every body in the studio was digging and grooving on the lead solo punch ins .. All was right in my world and I felt good knowing I could be myself as a player and give my talent to someone who appreciated my contributions... It only took a 10 whole mins for that whole thing to crash and burn . A super clean cut guy comes up the elevator dressed in all black polyester . The artist swoons all over this fella and asks him to play his horns ... IIRC , He had brought a tenor and an alto Sax to the studio ... One by one the tape gets rolled back to the places where I had laid down my guitar solo's ...One by one she asks him to play some of what I had just played on the guitar on his Sax but add lib a little and pretend while you are playing the melody / solo you are unzipping your zipper and doing a strip tease .... I was in the control room and heard her say that one with my own 2 ears .. After about an hour and a half Ole Kenny went from being a scorching hot lead player on some real cool tunes to becoming rhythm guitar player #1 ... The effing Sax player didn't even leave me a phucking morsel or a stinking crumb of a space in the song where my guitar playing had been ... I asked the Artist how come all my lead guitar solo's had been taken out the song ..I thought you liked them ... She turned to me and said I did like all your guitar playing very much . You are doing me a favor by playing on my session for Spec and I do appreciate it . I'm paying the sax player close to $150 . 00 dollars for 2 hours of his playing and I want to get all I can out of him OK folks , need I say that was a hard lesson I learned that day all the best , Kenny

Hey I remember you folgle622 , way back in the day on the old Cakewalk Forum you suggested a Groove 3 Video I needed to get to learn a Cakewalk product . I have wanted to tell you for a couple of Day's Thank You for posting these 2 Jose Feliciano video's all the best , Kenny

WHAT are you saying there ? Is it not enough just to be able to play the guitar well ? I have over 200 pedals on my compact pedal-board . Now I have to learn how to read English ? Kenny

Good Job Craig , yet still be careful my friend . I think that's exactly what Adams Rib said in the garden right before she bit into the Apple . Great stuff James , I'm glad you enjoyed the movie . The George Benson song story you mentioned took me by complete surprise ... Overall I agree w you . Some of the guitar playing is a little Metal heavy . I guess considering what's popular in Music these days the producers of the film may have felt Metal may have been a better choice to feature in the film as opposed to some of the other guitar influenced Music . All those Cat's in the film that were playing Metal sure had some nice guitar playing Chops when it came to playing other styles of Music . I used to watch The Voice a few years back and I used to wonder who played the guitar in the shows band .... After seeing the film I think Justin seemed to be the player I used to watch on The Voice back then .. Great to hear from you , thanks for sharing Kenny
