Jim Dandy:  Have you ever heard any of Big Wu's stuff?  His sound is very close to the Dead.  

Tabla really fascinates me.  Sitar too, but Tabla players seem to be born.  This is a 16 year old kid, just practicing.  I want to know how he moves his fingers so fast.

baddessi: Any live Dead song:

round and round and round it goes,where it stops nobody knows

Maybe you can hear me in the crowd,I'm the guy having the involuntary muscle twinge

Jim Dandy: nothing invlountary there!!! BIG BIG Smiles
Only a fellow deadhead would get this, but my buddy Matt and I could often jam on that song for well over an hour with just a couple of acoustic guitars...he'd take off on a solo and I'd strum along ,then we'd circle back around...and do it again..and again...and again....
loved the anime in that clip- thanks so much!!! : ))))

Jim Dandy: S-w-e-e-t Love this music

baddessi: let's get surreal

I need to slow down, and read the names more thoroughly.  That was
really helpful, and I think I'll catch them on Amazon.  That's a neat
feature they having going there.  Thanks for all your help.



When you said Jessi, baddessi, my heart skipped a beat, because I
wondered if papa was Jesse Lopez from the musical family that spawned
Jesse and Trini Lopez.  Jesse was a friend of mine at NTSU (Now U of
NT), and he used to pick me up when it snowed in his T-Bird to drive me
to the music building.  It was a looooooong walk in the snow!  But, I
see that is not so. 



I see the Lopez boys recently released a new CD with Art Greenhaw, one
of the Light Crust Doughboys.  Don't worry, the only reason I know Art
is that his daddy owns the hardware store on the square here in
Mesquite.  Hahaha!  They started an opry here, and there is still an
opry house on the square.  We have shows there from time to time.  I
also see that neither Jesse, nor his brother are as knock-dead gorgeous
as they used to be.  <img>

Jim Dandy: involuntary muscle twinge??? is it kinda like a ripple in still water, when there is no pebble tossed, nor wind to blow?

Sorry- couldn't resist....I loved Jerry too...still do : )
Glad you enjoyed it. I know that little twinge well.........

baddessi:One observation,I'm an old Deadhead and one of the joys I had was the moment Jerry went into a solo it always brought an instant smile to my face.I got a little of that same involuntary muscle twinge listening and watching that clip,thanks.

wow- you've all been busy here.

awesome & nivabeef- about the singing dogs, I believe you- my dogs sing too! Cool, huh?

And Toesty, it's not in 2 part harmony. It's in 3 part harmony. 3 of them ..one part shepherd, one part black lab, and one 110 toto mix of some kind!!! LOL

Nirvana- thanks for the listings. I love our Los Lonely Boys. I'll give them a listen on TV tonight for sure.

Jim Dandy...yeah, they are cool- check them out if you can get the chance..Part Santana, Part Stevie Ray, and part their complete own style..great riffs, great harmonies, alot of young energy and talent- I think we'll see some great things from these kids in the future...these 3 brothers Rock!!!

This video must have been recorded at our 4th of July celebration in Houston earlier this month, when they played here- I saw this show : )))
Oh ok, on TV, ok, but it was just a few minutes drive to park where they played..couldn't get there for the crowds. Awesome fireworks display after the show...the lighted up buildings in the background are downtown Houston-my home.
Anyways, the old guy in the cowboy hat and white shirt is their proud Dad, Jesse, who's played in bands in Texas all his life. The band is his 3 sons who he taught to play. They asked him onstage to play Houston with them
The clip shows alot of crowd, and not enough of the boys, and gets cut off at the end, but gives you a taste of these Texas boys I love so much..had to share.
The drummer's name, btw, is Ringo....and yeah, he's named after who ya think

Jim Dandy:  Thanks!  That surely does help.  Gee, they're making the rounds, aren't they?  I guess I'd better get out there, and hear of some new people!  Hahaha!

TexasToest: I checked out Los Lonely Boys,not bad.Kinda reminded me of Stevie Ray Vaughn's sound in the clip I watched

TexasToest:
This any help?

Los Lonely Boys on TV!

July 25: Jay Leno
July 26: Jimmy Kimmel and Tavis Smiley Show
July 27: Amazon Fishbowl /with Bill Maher
July 28: Tavis Smiley Show (PBS)
August 18: Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson

Jim Dandy:  I'd never heard of them.  You got me!  But, I fell in love, YET another time, with the lead guitarist.  Loved his hands, and the way they carressed the guitar.  Music is, in my experience pleasure on many levels.  And, he wasn't a shabby player, either.

baddessi:  Los Lonely Boys are going to be on some late-night TV show tonight, I think I saw.  All we have to do now is figure out when that is, and which show.

My old roommate's dog sings along with the Law and Order theme music. I'm not kidding.

awesome:  You ARE kidding us!!!

years ago, I had a pit bull that could howl along perfectly with 3 Dog Nights song Eli's Coming....

You have savage dogs?  Do they howl in two part harmony?  I know my cats get along better if I leave classical music on when I'm gone. 

WatfordFC: I don't know as much as some...I just love it.
I've learned alot tho from this site....read, read, read and listen and enjoy- that's what it's all about!
Like Toesty said a few posts back, it really does heal the soul.
It soothes the savages beasts as well. Calms down my monster dogs anyways

Everyone here is knowledgeable.  We learn from each other!  Glad to see you here.

I do wish i had the knowledge of music that you guys have

Haridaspal:

Good isn't she.

Joan Baez

Nirvana- it is very nice to see you posting again : )

for the support guys!
Groucho- a PHD is a stretch, but I appreciate the thought. I just try to do my best, can't ask for any more than that.

And nivabef, my sentiments exactly. I do love and appreciate music. I'd go as far as to say I live and breathe it! Can't imagine a life without it! Makes the world go around and brings people together

Nirvana: Hi Nirvana! Great to see you back here! BTW, I'm right now in my office, pretending to work but actually listening to "Baez sings Dylan". Wonderful! I'd forgotten what a voice she has!

The way I see it, we're here to enlighten one another about what's good out there.

I sure couldn't answer any of Masterminds questions about Rockin Ron. I was very sorry to hear that he passed away but frankly I had never heard of him until I played him in a tournament.
That still doesn't mean that I don't appreciate good music!

is always welcome.  You're right, Groucho, and thank you, nivabef, for stating what has been going on in my mind.  Trivia is not what music is about.  If it goes no further than the surface, how come it can heal the human soul?

We wish Universal Eyes, and Mastermind the best of luck with their fellowships.  We will miss you, but evidently, you aren't happy here.  If we can ever do anything to help you, let us know.

nivabef:  Nothing.  Baddessi is more than qualified to moderate this board.  Having any knowledge of music isn't necessary to moderate, but having the ability to solve problems and understand how to handle people is.  Baddessi has  PHD in this area.  She's even had to mod me a few times and we're good friends!  That's another good characteristic of a competent moderator.  She doesn't show favoritism.  She's fair to all.  ;) 

Barb you do an excellent job and we're all lucky to have you on the mod team!!!

Not trying to butt in or get involved in this, but what does having a brain crammed with useless trivia have to do with being able to love and appreciate music?

MASTERMIND: that was uncalled for Al, you have no need to put me down on here. I don't have the record, so I don't know.
Since you do, why don't you tell us...

As a moderator of the board, I'm sure you understand I have to ask you to please refrain from any flaming. Enough now, ok?

MASTERMIND: that's good to hear. I've never doubted that you and UE know your music. I'll be the first to admit you probably know alot more about it than me.

    A man before, during, and after his time.

;)

Nirvana:  It's great to see you here, Nirvana.  I hope this appearance predicts things to come.

Nirvana:
nice....Nirvana...that's my 2nd all time favorite song ..here's my favorite:
http://www.slyandthefamilystone.net/songprofile.asp?songid=1&albumid=16

awesome:

Subterranean Blues Bob Dylan.

Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doing it again
You better duck down the alleyway
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coonskin cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
But you only got ten ................

@ The pump don't work
cause the vandals took the handles...........

NOT a floosie:  Thank you, NOT a floosie.  

TexasToest & NOT a Floosie:
Thanks for clearing that up. I appreciate it, and the support.

Toesty, I agree with what you said about Mike (UE) and his knowledge of Music.
Mike, I hope you have a better understanding of what happened and I sincerely hope you continue to share your knowledge of Music on this board for the rest of the site. You have alot to give. I hope you continue to share it with everyone.

I've seen the harrassment, and stand by your decisions on this subject. If there are any complaints about who was chosen to moderate this board or why they should be directed by pm to any of the globals and not constantly brought up on this board.

Thanks so much for the support, baddessi and Groucho.  It's nice to hear from time to time that one might have been chosen for a reason.

I too am positive that the globals made the decision to appoint baddessi to moderate here in the first place, and that there was no animosity toward Universal Eyes, and Nirvana influencing their decision.  They chose a person who is known to be knowledgeable about the topic, and who is responsible, and adult enough to make rational decisions based on the greater good.   I think they made the best decision they knew how for the Brain King site, not just the board.  That's why they're called globals! 

I just really hate that this is coming up again.  I really thought we were through with it.  I understand that I was also approved by the globals, and it falls on me to enforce the rules here.  I'd like for you, Universal Eyes, to stay here and join in with the chat.  Because, you too know your music.  You could be a great asset to the board. 

However, I will not tolerate these personal attacks on the co-moderator here.  I do not think baddessi wronged you in anyway, but from what I've seen, she has suffered as a result of your childishness, and petty jealousy. 

I am going to look to the globals to guide me on what to do about this.  But, I wish you would police yourself, Universal Eyes, and realize you are only harming the board, not badessi.  And, you are running the risk of getting yourself permanenly banned from this board, and depriving all of us of your superior musical knowledge.

Groucho: thanks- couldn't agree more. Glad to have you here Toesty! : )

baddessi:  I believe the decision was the Globals.  I'd say they made the percect choice.  TT sure knows her stuff.  I have to say I'm impressed with her knowledge of music.  She has eclectic tastes too!.  ;)

Universal Eyes: One last point that I want to make perfectly clear is that I did NOT take over the board from you & Nirvana.
Members do not have the power to "take over boards"
I also never did anything to have you & Nirvana "eliminated from the site".
I don't want you & Nirvana eliminated from the site.
I was put on as a moderator by the globals, so please quit suggesting that I "took over the board".
That can not be done.

Universal Eyes: I will agree with you that Texas Toest knows her Music tho

Universal Eyes: ok, Mike...have your say.
I'm just the person moderating now. I was asked to mod. I said yes.
It's not up to Ron who moderates the board. As we all know, Ron has passed away.
The moderators of boards are decided upon by the site owner and his global moderators.
I've explained this to you, but you choose to believe to be some evil person who has "done you & Nirvana wrong".
I have nothing to hide. That is not the case.
You need to take this up with Fencer or the global mods. I will wholeheartedly agree with any decisions they make, but I will not allow you to trash this board.
That is my responsibility as a mod. Any further posts on this will be deleted with no notice.
Please take your arguements to where they belong...to Fencer and the globals and NOT on a public board.
I urge you to read the user statement to help you understand what is and is NOT acceptable on a public board.
