TexasToest: I thought only heavy metal bands used dry ice

Ewe:  Interesting effects, especially with the lighting.  I began to wonder if the lighting was makeup instead.  Thanks for that, I had never heard them.

Dandy-Pie: I can't wait to see this.  Haha!  Tosh was an entertainer.  *dives down to YouTube to check out the video*

Dry ice?  Are you quite sure about  that?  *sends out a subliminal message*

Jim Dandy: Great stuff!

A good tune and a big hit,kinda like when Pat Boone would whiten up songs performed by black singers for white radio

Self-appointed professor of Patois - eek-a-mouse


Here is a dictionary of Rasta Patois

No, you don't eat Patois with marinara sauce, or with toast points.

Although he went pretty mainstream, Cliff was one of the best known Reggae performers, down here, at least, in the southern south.

TexasToest: Dang,he went kinda "Billy Ocean'ish" didn't he?

This is the song Jimmy made his career on,and the movie of the same title

Jim Dandy:  Yeah, he really di.  Kinda betrayed us.  I alwyas have a hard time giving up faith in people.  It took me a long time to get over him too,.  That movie was so good, then he kind of dropped us.

Jim Dandy:  Excellent!  He used to do barn dances in East Texas, close to where my father grew up.  You can't fight with Jerry Lee Lewis, he is a legend. 

Funny, both our minds ended up on the piano this afternoon from 1,300 miles apart.  Sometimes, I wonder if we're channelling each other. 

I started out looking for Doo Wop - no easy matter.  There's a bunch of mess out there, but I gotta dig deeper.  Somehow (you think your mind jumps....) I ended up looking at Mozart.  I kind of wonder if Lang Lang is channelling Mozart in this Mozart's Sonata in C Major.  One can also not fight with Lang Lang's technique or delivery.

...came this.

TexasToest: That's "without a net" performing,wow..........I'm in a "back to the roots" kinda vibe tonite,my fingers led me to one of the best

How peaceful after an evening full of praying for worship songs for the band i sing in sometimes and you know we ended up YouTubing quite a long time.. thats why i came home so late.. lol But we are very blessed indeed. Hope all of you are well - talk later

Thank you Texas, for sharing Mozart!!!
Shalom, Josetta

tasty r'n'r

but we do over and over and.......

Jim Dandy:  Oh!  That's where izzy iz.

Jim Dandy:  Wow, that was back in the guitar smashing days.  I'd forgotten about that.  I'll tell you, I don't think WE can afford to be fooled again.  Who was it who said we're well on our way to becoming a third world country.  Now, THAT's scary.

TexasToest: The game's rigged anyway...........classic

Jim Dandy:  No way!!!  The game was really rigged?  There goes an evening's entertainment.  But, I loved the by-product!  Hahaha!  Three Little Bops - what a name for a band.

This band appeared at Woodstock, and 2 weeks later here at the Texas Pop Festival.  As you all know, I was there.  Here is their story in 3 segments - a BBC special.  The Incredible String Band:

TexasToest: WOW,you struck gold!!!
I love finding that kind of stuff.At first,I thought it was a parody,kinda Spinal Tap'ish,(maybe Billy's involvement made me wonder) for the first minute or so.Learning of bands such as them helps connect the dots of influence,I hear some Jethro Tull amongst many others.

You score post of the month IMHO

Jim Dandy:  You're most kind, Jim the Dandiest.  But, you've outdone me in sheer numbers.  I also thought it wasanother silly fake documentary, and was delighted to find it not so.  Their style really has changed, and I too hear other influences in there, especially their own culture which I think in the 60s they tried to mask.  It takes us a while in life to come to accept what actually formed us.

TexasToest: wow you have put on some amazing posts again, thank you!!!

TexasToest:I guess I'm a a quantity instead of quality kinda guy

TexasToest:

I was so much older then...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx1-1_UdtmQ&mode=related&search=eric%20burdon

Thatnk you, Ewe.  I'm always gratified when you enjoy one of my posts being so much younger than I.  That was old stuff, but still timely, as far as I can tell.

Jim Dandy  I so don't believe you.  You are quality kinda guy, I knew that from minute one that I saw you here.

awesome Thank you for that.  It was an interesting video, besides being a very timely tune in 1967.  The video reminded me of WWII, and my minds eye went to my uncle who served as a bombardier  during that war.  1967, however, was more Viet Nam era.  When I saw your description of what was to come, I thought of this::

My Back Pages  - This is a round robin sorta thing of a lot of favorites from the time.  This song is copyrighted 1964, and was penned by poet-songwriter, Bob Dylan.  Give it a listen. 

TexasToest: Age is just a number!

Ewe: try using that excuse at the beer store
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HERAKRtZcyo

Jim Dandy: well its legal to drink here at 18 so you can usually get away with it at 16...but shhh dont tell anyone! Time flys, that was over 20 years ago!!
Wish I knew an apt song to put a link to now.....lol

Ewe:Thank you, Ewe.  Unfortunately the reality from this end seems a little different.  It's an insult when your body starts giving out when you feel so young.

Jim Dandy:  You don't think they'd buy it?

Ewe: 18 here too.I remember being carded in Florida when I was 30,I couldda kissed the guy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWczhrC8yYY

TexasToest: Yes I know what you mean.....when Im really old (if I get that far) I hope my mind goes first!

Jim Dandy - hahaha I wish that would happen to me, no chance though, small kids have a great knack at ageing me!!!!

Jim Dandy:  Donny Osmund....how dramatic he was at....what was he, 14?  I can tell you that never happened to me.  The most any guy ever sang to me was Happy Birthday.  Although the washboard player with Ponty Bone one night, came over to me, and let me play his chest.  Hahaha!  He said later he saw I couldn't sit still to the music, and he wanted to include me.  I think that was nice.  When you go everywhere by yourself, it's always nice to be recognized by the performers.  Don't you think? 

Ewe:  I guess I was getting kind close to old at that point.  Evidently, he didn't think I was too old to have some fun. 

David Crowder - O Praise Him!
I saw him live in Manhattan, summer 2004 - absolutely great!!

Radiant2007 :-):  Interesting project, Josetta.  So, how does the website work?

Jim Dandy:

aNiMaL.:

Foxy Lady: Having an identity crisis

aNiMaL.: ya gotta love a guy with a pre-recorded intro

Jim Dandy: And great hair!

I was a big fan of his prior band The Babys,I think the choice of name was their mistake

Dandy-Pie:  re Death of Boris - quite a departure for you.  Very passionate, and tragic.  He had me almost in tears.  When I See You Smile - I missed that one.  That one went in my favorites.  Thanks.

aNiMaL:  That was really cute.  Buddy Rich - wild man!!  Identity crises must be in the air, huh?

Snoopy:  I saved that one too.  That was the theme song of my Business Policy and Strategy course my senior year at the University.  It was a propos then, and it tacks today.

TexasToest: I have never been so moved by opera,maybe being able to read and understand the lyric helped.Matti Salminen is my new hero,a flawless performance,and yes,the emotion,he layed himself bare.

Jim Dandy:  For so long, Pavarotti dominated the scene, but there are some great singers out there, ready to step in.
