  1. "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" - Mark Murphy A song about Lester Young by Charles Mingus with words by Joni Mitchell and later IMHO improved by Mark Murphy Jeff Beck had fun with it too The Original And Joni's Now all we need is some becan
  2. Dvořák: Symphony No.8 in G major - Karajan conducting the Wiener Philharmoniker (When I was in Austria I attended a Wiener Philharmoniker concert, they played Mahler #4 and Sibelius #4 - they are a great orchestra)
  3. "Stand Up" - Jethro Tull (full album) a blast from the distant past
  4. "Don't Sleep In The Subway" - Petula Clark because after all the subway is underground
  5. Ring of fire? Johnny wrote that after he and June Carter mistook the Ben-Gay for KY Jelly. (ducking for cover)
  6. Electric Boogie (Electric Slide) - Marcia Griffiths Bunny Wailer said he wrote this song about his girlfriend's new vibrating toy. (No video necessary.) BTW, Donovan's "Mellow Yellow" was written about the same intimate toy.
  7. Not plagiarism, but homage And last night's gig went into overtime, it was about 100 miles away, and I'm quite sleepy this morning. (Not an excuse, just an explanation)
  8. Be glad she didn't buy you underpants from that brand.
  9. Having two ledger lines between the staves might be confusing, especially with handwritten charts. Let me see, is that a C or an A, is it closer to the treble or bass clef? And would you put the B below the C ledger or above the A ledger? But I still agree, it would be easier for me who only occasionally has a reason to read the bass clef. And if any instrument needs one of the TROUBLE clefs, I don't want to learn to read on that one. Bites
  10. Royal Scam - Steely Dan (full album) My favorite Dan album, with a lot of great guest artists, and every cut by my favorite jazz/rock drummer Pretty Purdy. I play drums, it was actually my first instrument and this guy has tasty chops, many of which I've stolen.
  11. One of my favorite French classical (romantic era) pieces of music Danse Macabre - Camille Saint-Saëns
  12. I've seen musicians go to a jam session and play 3 hours for free with no break. Then when they get a paying gig they want a 20 minute break per hour and then stretch that to 25 minutes. It doesn't make sense to me. We seldom take breaks finding it easier to control the audience if we stay up there. On slow nights we might, but we very seldom get a slow night. 4. Never-ever, cancel, call in sick, show up late, or take long breaks - the show must go on The person who hired you might not know good music from bad, but I bet he/she knows how to tell time and wants to get his/her money's worth. Notes
  13. EXACTLY!!! It was a stupid idea to make the clefs different. I have no need to read bass clef much, but when I do, it really slows me down at first. Arrrrrrgggggghhhhh another clinker. But what is even worse are the alto and other weird clefs. I call them trouble clefs. Notes
  14. I did a pool party this afternoon. It was way too windy so I need something soothing to listen to.
  15. "Kissin' Cousins" - Elvis Presley (No need for a video on this one. Elvis was a great singer, but this wasn't one of his best IMHO)
