  1. Myth Versus Reality - Sun Ra and His Intergalactic Research Arkestra Sun Ra is an accomplished musician, but I think he went off the deep end
  2. So I wrote this limerick: There was a young gal who had urges Of riding her cycle to Sturgis She stayed with a group Developed a croup And now they are singing her dirges
  3. I'm not replying to this fred
  4. "Space Is The Place" - Sun Ra (nice hat!) ?
  5. BTW Craig, I think King Curtis played sax on that Coasters cut. Drive - The Cars
  6. Casey Jones - Grateful Dead I'm not a Dead fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I do like some of their work, and this is one. If you compare the studio with the live cuts, you can see how the "Wrecking Crew" or whoever the studio cats were improved the song.
  7. It's easy. The Fish & Wildlife Service doesn't want the alligators to get crocked. :D
  8. "Speak Low" - Cal Tjader & Carmen McRae The song is much older than this cut, but I like this one
  9. Interesting: The Girl From Ipanema is a far weirder song than you thought A little theory is involved
  10. That reminded me of this great CD (and here's a cut - the entire CD is nice) Gene Harris Trio Plus One Things Ain't What They Used To Be - Gene Harris & Stanley Turrentine
  11. How about vertigo videos? They tend to make me dizzy.
  12. If a cow doesn't produce milk, is it a Milk Dud or an Udder Failure?
  13. Back in the day, there was a rumor that the words to Louie Louie by The Kingsmen were "dirty" (sexually oriented). As I traveled from town to town different areas had different versions of the 'dirty words'. The FBI spent millions of dollars investigating the 'dirty words' and at the end of spending all that money, they said they didn't know if they were or not. Eventually we were the opening act for The Kingsmen in concert so I asked Norm Sundholm about it. He said that there were no dirty words, Jack was just singing the original lyrics, the mic was too high and he mumbled. He said that his manager was aware of the rumors, and told them to neither confirm nor deny them because it was good for record sales. Back then, censorship was strict, today most of the words I heard as I toured the country would be in tamer rap songs. While on the subject of here is their 'other' hit. "Jolly Green Giant" - The Kingsmen
  14. A man was found guilty of overusing commas. The judge warned him to expect a really long sentence.
