  1. Glad your safe. Feed those goats something special (whatever the goat equivalent of an ice cream sundae is), they deserve it!!!
  2. I'm not often fond of mostly one-chord songs, but I've always liked that one ^ More about fame.... Celebrity Skin - Hole
  3. Crosseyed Cat - Muddy Waters Because every now and then a little Muddy is good for one's soul. With Muddy, James Cotton, Pinetop Perkins, Johnny Winter and the rest of the gang, the blues doesn't get better than this. I'd love to have played sax on this session.
  4. Airegin - Sonny Roliins (association: Airegin is Nigeria spelled backwards)
  5. I've got a CD of Tuvan Throat singing, and it's amazing when one guy can sing 3 notes at once. "The Lady Is A Trump" - Buddy Greco live on vocals and piano - this is how it's done.
  6. During Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne we were out 10 days each. Fortunately we have generators and the neighborhood all pitched in to help those without. We discovered him in the 80s while working on the cruise ships. The "Buster Poindexter" version of his Hot Hot Hot was IMHO wimpy by comparison. Notes
  7. We just have hurricanes around here. I'm lucky we don't have fires (except survivable brush fires), earthquakes and mudslides. Stay safe and keep us informed. Don't do anything foolish, except here on the forum. (the original version)
  8. "Sleeping Single In A Double Bed" - Barbara Mandrell
  9. "The Cat" - Jimmy Smith Great B3 playing, excellent guitar work by Kenny Burrell and awesome arrangements by Lalo Schifrin. One of my favorite Jimmy Smith albums.
  10. Black Coffee - kd lang (Jazz standard - I know Sarah Vaughan did it first but kd did a stellar job and I like it)
  11. How about Lambert, Hentricks and Ross - "Cloudburst" John Hendricks can sing faster than anybody I know and still make music out of it - be-bop vocals:
  12. I'd Love to Change the World - Alvin Lee & Ten Years After
  13. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2VWDYo8gGc it won't embed for some reason :(
  14. How about some Luiz Bonfa playing Luiz Bonfa - the picture is bad but the guitar playing is great
  15. My dad quit smoking when I was young, and with the money he didn't spend on smoking he bought one LP per week. Mostly Big Band, Western Swing, and Sinatra era pop music. Good stuff. Mom liked Broadway show tunes, as a child I didn't appreciate them as much as my dad's music, but as I got older I learned how to listen to them. My parents never discouraged my from listening to rock and even liked some of the songs. My dad played trumpet, violin, ukulele and organ. I never heard him play trumpet or violin, but we had a lot of fun singing along while he played the uke. I guess if he had Band-in-a-Box he might have played the monophonic instruments more. On with the association game. Last post was "Walter Murphy - A Fifth of Beethoven" - how to get us out of Beethoven? This might work. "King Stephen Overture (König Stefan Overture)" - Beethoven George Szell conducting the Cleveland Orchestra
  16. Start with the bare essentials then go on to the FUNdamentals. The only problem is that you can't cover up your mistakes Notes
  17. I found this in a used CD store, bought it just to hear what it was about, and absolutely love it. The music is a mixture of Azerbaijani and Soviet Russian classical and there isn't much out there quite like it. The Arabian Nights, complete Ballet in two Acts - Fikret Amirov
  18. My dad was a big band fan and so am I. (life is too short to listen to only one kind of music) Stompin' At The Savoy - Benny Goodman
  19. "King Porter Stomp" - Jelly Roll Morton
  20. The best live Blues album I've ever heard and one of the best life any-kind-of albums I've ever heard. James had the audience in the palm of his hand. Listen to him tease them with song titles woven into sentences or short lines only go into another song so that later when he dies those same songs the crowd goes wild. Listening this one over and over again, not just for the music (which is great) but for the way James controls the audience is school for musicians. Live At The Apollo 1962 - James Brown & The Famous Flames
