Hurry, Hurry, Hurry - Golden Earrings In a Rush? Then hurry up

Carol Kaye is one of my bass influences. She supports the song and never gets in the way. She is an accomplished guitarist as well.

I've never used drum maps. I record drums live using a MIDI percussion controller in real time. That way they get the proper groove. After I record, I might separate them to different tracks for further tweaking and massaging. IMO the best way to record anything is to do it in real time. Of course, there is more than one right way to make music. Insights and incites by Notes

"Angel Of The Morning" - Merilee Rush & The Turnabouts The original and IMHO the better version of this song.

Stay in front of that lousy franken-food and you will get skinnier by the minute!!!

Bagpipes were a Greek invention. They passed them on to the Romans who went all the way to the British Isles to dump them and get them as far away as possible. (True geography, embellishments by me.)

Q. Why do bagpipers always march while playing? A. To get away from the noise.

Various guitar solos by Sister Rosetta Tharpe The first "rock" guitar goddess???

Kidney Stew - Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson

"Ruby, My Dear" - Thelonious Monk & John Coltrane

"Dirty Diana" - Michael Jackson

Tropicana Nights -Paquito D'Rivera A nice alto sax player ex-pat from Cuba playing an album of 1950's Cuban inspired music.

It's Fat Tuesday / Mardi Gras so the playlist should include: Dr John's Gumbo album and other NOLA songs Some Professor Longhair Huey "Piano" Smith Frankie Ford Rockin' Sidney ("Toot Toot") Fats Domino And whoever else I think of.

"Devil Or Angel" - The Clovers reaching way back to the dawn of rock n roll

Beethoven: Symphony No. 4 - George Szell & The Cleveland Orchestra Many people like #5, #6 and #9, which are nice, by my favorites are #4 and #7. The Cleveland Orchestra is one of the world's great symphony orchestras, and Szell was a stellar conductor. #4 was panned by having such a long introduction, but I rather like it.

Interesting ***** about coitus a few posts ago. You can't say i n t e r c o u r s e even thought it means "exchange especially of thoughts or feelings" without the censor changing it to ***** Isn't it funny how you can say "The F Word" but can't actually say the F word itself? Just some random thoughts

Moonglow - Tony Bennett and k.d.lang - a jazz standard originally recorded by Joe Venuti

Tania Maria - Live in Tbilisi If you want to hear some great keyboard playing and vocals and have the time, check her out.

Can we say Coitus here? Just wonderin'

How high can you go? According to Billy Preston - Outta Space The "Fifth Beatle" on keyboards.

Tempus Fugue-it (aka Tempus Fugit) - Bud Powell (the original) (this song is fast) (and difficult to play) Tempus Fugue-it (aka Tempus Fugit) - Stan Getz (my favorite so far) (but rewarding when you get it under your fingers)

Rise? (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher - Jackie Wilson

Some people live in a c0ndominium - and that could be a high rise.

Greatest Hits - Hank Ballard (and the Midnighters) I think Hank Ballard deserves more recognition in the history of rock n roll music. But that's just me.
