Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.  I want XM.  Just too many other things to spend money on -- like a laptop so I can keep in touch with you guys wherever. 

Jazz - now there's something I go back and forth on.  I like the jazz I like, but some of it is so discordant as to make me impatient.  That says a lot!  I love Keith Jarrett, and some of the "older" jazz.  But, I listen before I decide.  I guess that's what jazz is supposed to be anyway.

Sister Texas,  I just call music that comes out of Texas Texas music.  We have such a rich blending here from everywhere imaginable.  And, it's all part of the same scene.  I've never heard Los Lonely Boys.  But, I intend to give them a listen, as well as this Dotsero group Thanks for the tip!  You're a veritable expert on obscurity!!!! 

So many kinds of music, so little time.

Chekc them out...I'll get it eventuallty. I'm already convinced I'll be hooked...this group gets some airplay on Smooth Jazz stations, and probably they've been played on the XM and you just don't know it's them. Good stuff!

baddessi: Haven't heard of that group. As far as XM goes, once you get it, you're hooked. I listen to XM 98% of the time I'm in my car.

mako887: that's the kind of stuff I like too...but I also love the classics. I don't have XM radio.....yet!!!
I discovered an awesome contemporary jazz group when I lived it Denver a few years back- not sure if they are still together, but they made some great CDs..their name is Dotsero. Give them a listen if you haven't heard of them. I think you'll like them.

baddessi: I like the more contemporary jazz..I like Bob James, Spirogyra, Manhattan Transfer. If you have XM Radio, the stuff they play on "Watercolors."

mako887: I love the jazz that I know..my Miles Davis CD's are one of my treasures...Billy Holiday, Etta James, Ella....that's all jazz, right? Who do you like?

How about jazz?

TexasToest: I love Zydeco!!! Salsa and Blues too...This souonds like an advertizement for New Orleans..I couldn't believe the variety of the music in that place...you can walk down Bourbon St and others going from bar to bar and hear every kind of music you can think of. Of course, Jazz is one the most prevelant. NO is world famous for it's jazz...but not many people know they can also hear awesome blues, rock, metal, motown...anything you can think of. It's a virtual smorgasbord of music.

I'm listening to Los Lonely Boys right now. I don't know how to quite catagorize them...would you think it's "Texas rock?, "Blues" "Tex-Mex"? "Latino"? 3 brothers from a small town outside Austin, I believe..or maybe San Angelo?
I just know it's awesome!

Anyone here like Zydeco?  Salsa?  Da Blues (duh).

Ein Lied Fur Dich....

i like nightwish and linkin park it.

Andre Faria:






































COOL!!!!

Sarah1980:  I love it!  Thanks for the link.

Nirvana:  Cool site.  Thanks. 

Where is everybody?  I see The San Francisco Chronicle panned A Prairie Home Companion.  Are we in mourning?  I love that show on radio, and listen enraptured each Saturday.  But, at one time, I don't remember when, they tried putting it on TV.  In my opinion, it flopped then too.  So, the lack of enthusiasm for the movie by the critics doesn't surprise me.  

I guess for me, the show is the music.  There have been so many talented musicians on that show.  I always look forward to hearing Dallas' own expats (to Virginia) Robin and Linda Williams.  Tish Hinojosa has been there telling her own stories in music.  I remember once there was a balalaika troup on.  That was a thrill.  I think the movie would have been much better received had they had more musicians in it. 

The Chronicle spoke of Keillor singing 10 songs in the movie.   He can sing, but his singing isn't his formost talent.  Garrison Keillor's monologues are his biggest contribution to the radio show.  Keillor is such a wonderful story teller, that on the radio the magic is that the listener enjoys such vivid mental visuals of the stories that become a personal voyage because (s)he is getting those visions out of her/his own imagination.  Those images don't come across too well on the screen, because the audience doesn't use its imagination when listening to the tales.  They are watching the man standing on a stage spewing words.  On radio, I think Keillor is a musician in his own rite, even though he doesn't convert his thoughts into music.  His stories are melodic in the telling.  It's almost like the difference between reading a
book, and seeing the movie.  The music, and the monologues belong together.

Any other opinions?

Nirvana: I kinda look like Kelly Slater.

Groucho:
www.baldrus.com

(sorry, I couldn't resist!)

Groucho:  Yes, you are in the company of some very talented people.  See???????

TexasToest: I'm in good company :)

awesome:  Hahaha!  Point well taken.  But, I tried to pick naturally bald people, and there weren't any women on that list.

TexasToest:

Sinead O'Connor

Groucho:  I started getting silver hairs when I was 11.  Now, it looks all silver to me, but my aunt told me the other day it's still blonde.  I happen to think bald and balding men are extremely attractive.  I mean, look at this list: 

Jimi Hendrix - Was Sy Sperling's (Hair Club for Men) first celebrity client.

Jimmy Buffett - singer/song writer

Alan Jackson - is known to never take his trademark cowboy hat off for any occasion. The reason behind this is he has been bald since college and hides this by keeping what little hair he has left long.

Les Paul

Paul Shaffer - composer/bandleader/multi-instrumentalist, bald since the early-1990's

Ringo Starr - former drummer of the Beatles and present-day solo artist

 Michael Balzary - musician in Red Hot Chili Peppers

TexasToest: I started losing my hair at 26. That's when things started happening for me ;)

I kinda felt like we ought to know that.  Yes, Groucho, 59, my age!!!!!!!!!!!!  I guess that's when things start happening.  

TexasToest: Sad news. He was only 59. Five years older than me. A great musician.

TexasToest: oh how sad..I loved him!!! I hadn't heard. Thanks for that Texas.

 Well, here's a sad piece.  Billy Preston, called the fifth Beatle for his piano work on Abbey Road and the White Album, died today according to Google News.  He had been in a coma since November due to kidney failure.  A transplant failed in 2002 causing him to be on dialysis.  Billy Preston will be mourned by the music world, and missed by us all.

#2The answer is for his first child.

baddessi:#1Which beattle smoked there first Ciggarette?
#2why?

We had an 80th birthday party for my aunt today, and I've been on the road.  Now, it's time for dinner.  Be back later.  But, I want to listen to Rosanne and Dolly, and see if I hear the similarity.  I never thought of that.  Leave it to Groucho to come up with it.

I can sing alto too- in fact- that's pretty much all I can sing now

baddessi: creative spelling, and I have creative reading. I read alto and never even saw the typo! ;)

Groucho: oh yeah, well that- can't argue with that. LOL
Like I said, I haven't heard enough of either of them to know much about them

and I CAN spell alto btw...just in my late night typo state of mind

baddessi: It sounds like they have that similar vibrato ;)

Groucho: yeah, pretty easy, fun for me anyways...
Roseanne sounds like Dolly? I don't hear that...but I haven't listened to either of them all too much. I think of Dolly as a soprano, Roseanne more of a rich alot, but what do I know?

baddessi: I've never tried to play it but it sounds easy. Rosanne Cash sounds a bit like Dolly Parton :)

Groucho: Righto Groucho! I knew you'd know. Can ya play it yet??? LOL
Have you ever heard his daughter's version? She redid it about 20 years ago. She did Daddy proud, I think : )

baddessi: Tennessee Flat Top Box....The Man In Black ;)

Dolittle: yes, he can play....
oh yeah, on topic...who sang the song...

♫♪in a little cabaret, in a south Texas border town, sat a boy and his guitar and people came from all around....and he could play...♪♪♪

baddessi:

Groucho:

What dolittle said! Go crazy? I'm afraid it's too late for our dear Groucho!!!

I was just picking up on what he said about going crazy if baddessi left us.  But, he needn't worry. 
So, what's new on the music scene?

hey, aren't we off topic?

Dolittle:

TexasToest:What you mean GO crazy? I tho't our friend Groucho was a little bit crazy all the time and I am a little bit loonie!!
