Nirvana:Very nice Nirvana..thanks for posting it.

I've probably said it before.  I once shared a stage with Willie.  I had to follow him, and that was the hardest thing I ever had to do.  That was right before I quit performing.  I'll alwyas love him.  I think he showed me that day what it takes to really serve an audience.

I heard the songs there, they are the best!

瀬人様:

Evangelion

They aren't my style of music, ???.  But, I know a lot of people who would probably enjoy them.  Thanks for the tip.

TexasToest:

I've a daughter who likes anime' !

Some of it is downright obscene, to my taste, but I like the art form.  I enjoyed that part of the clip.

TexasToest: I usually pay attention to the story rather the art. If you think like me, and you like philosophy, you should watch Evangelion indeed! (And in Japanese, the American dub is a true disaster.)

瀬人様:  I will reconsider it.  Has anyone else an opinion?  

Roy Orbison ~ Oh Pretty Woman

This song sold more records in its first ten days in release than any other 45 rpm single.

Nirvana: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLGDAGJxt-Y&mode=related&search=

Jim Dandy:  Oh yeah!  I hadn't thought about Humble Pie in years!  About the same time as that - 2 years ahead, there was this concert.  It was a couple of weeks after Woodstock.  I missed Woodstock, but not this one.  That was the time that R & R really learned about kicking a$$.
 

And, I will always remember, and love Roy Orbison.  He's a classic as far as I'm concerned.

TexasToest: yup, never can get tired of him!~

Eriisa:  Me neither.  Maybe we should go out to Vernon, Texas, and see if there is anything left of his life there.

The directions are in Westwood Village Memorial Park in Westwood, California.  See the story....  Maybe I'll get my friend to take me out there in November.  I can get a picture.

You know, no one has the vibrato Orbison had.  His music is wonderful, and lots of people have their own interpretations, but he is the original.  In Dreams is just lovely.

And, what can be said of Manamana?  It's funny all the time.  All I have to do is sing one "Manamana", and it cheers me up.

TexasToest:


I know what you mean!
Roy Orbison

Travelling Wilburys ~ End of the Line

I need to rectify that.  But, I ask you.  What happened to 3?

TexasToest: actually, what I have is Travelin Wilbury's Volume #1 & Volume #3.
I don't think there is a volume 2
I'd love to have it if I've missed it tho. <i>Handle With Care</i> is my favorite : )

Nirvana: thanks for that Nirvana...always did love George the best....I think it's his song

baddessi:  Of course it is 2 that is missing.  Pardon me, but it was late when I typed that.  Can I claim mental anguish?  I have quite a few favorites off those collection, but since I haven't had a tape player since I sold my Volvo, I'd just have to pick one or two.  Off #1, I really like Tweeter and the Monkey Man, as well as Congratulations.  Blame my long standing love affair with the thought of hanging out with Bob Dylan daily for a lifetime.  Oh, and End of the Line.  Off #2, I'd have to choose 7 Deadly Sins, and Wilbury Twist.  AND, all of Roy Orbison's are, of course, hymns to this Texas girl.

I'm listening to Don Henley The Heart of the Matter.  Last night, it was Larry McMurtry.  Uh huh - Texan till I die.

Bob Dylan & Joan Baez ~ Blowing in the Wind

A two-hour trip to a time when music mattered
There is no argument that the music of the late ‘60’s and early 70’s, what is most commonly called Classic Rock, is the most important music ever made to its listeners.


Most of these baby boomers have had a life-long love affair with their music and it does not look like it is going to die down soon.


Back before CD’s and digital music most of those albums were listened to on stereo record players.


All of those great albums contained an average of 10 to 12 songs per album. If you are old enough to remember then you will know that most people did not constantly lift and drop the needle onto their favorite album cuts. Every time you dropped the needle, you ran the risk of damaging the disk. Therefore most people put the needle down on an album side and let it play all the way through, thus becoming familiar with all the songs on the album. Most classic rock stations today will play only one or two songs from those albums leaving the majority of music on them un-played and unheard by the audience.


When you hear these songs again it is like running into a dear old friend you haven’t seen for 20 years. It is a treat. The reaction is almost always the same, a big smile.


The Deep End with Nick Michaels is a program that not only gives voice to these great songs but also give context to them through the use of sound and narration. This program feels like it is taking you back to that time. Audiences respond to it the way you respond to running into that dear old friend. After a few minutes with that friend, it is as if no time has passed between you. The warmth of that feeling is what this show is all about.


Don’t think of it as a album of photographic memories, its not, this show is a time machine that actually takes you back to the feeling of the times. This is done through the use of the future tense for past events. It sounds as if we are back in time about to live it all again!

Dylan and Baez:  Lovely, took me back a generation or two.  I wonder when that was made?  Anyone know?  That is one question, but it can be interchanged with, how do those people look so YOUNG?  Hahaha!  Thanks, Nirvana for that.

Angel:  I was around in the 70s, but evidently Angel didn't make it into my consciousness.  Interesting band, true.  Were they around for a while?  I got married in 1970, maybe I was busy.  Haha!  I got unmarried in '83, at which time I became busier.  Too bad about the end of the clip.  I wonder why people do that?  Is there a time limit on UTube?

Rare Earth:  They DID get through to me, I loved that song.  It's rare, in my experience anyway, for the drummer to sing.  At least the person who submitted the clip had the courtesy to fade it out rather than just cutting it off in mid-stream.

Jefferson Airplane:  White Rabbit:  my favorite song from one of my favorite bands of all time.   But then, Alice in Wonderland is also one of my favorite stories.  You know, I think most children of the 60s have "been there"...to Wonderland.  I still have visuals of the first live performance of that story I ever saw.  What a grand set, and the costumes were rich with color and texture.  I guess that makes the song come even more alive for me.

Jethro Tull:  What can be said?  Ian Anderson has certainly stayed in the forefront.  He does better on the U.K. charts of late than on the U.S. charts.  I love Aqualung, and Thick as a Brick.  I also commend him/them for their international interests.  They've sounded almost celtic at times in their history.  Did you know he has had two #1 hits on the U.S. Charts?  First was Thick as a Brick, and the other was A Passion Play. 

Curved Air/BackStreetLuv:  Welcome, Mad March Hair - white rabbit as you portray yourself.  I believe I've heard of Curved Air, but it's been a while.  Interesting little file on Wikipedia.  If the tune branches out from there, I'd probably like it.  But, the pace at the beginning might get tedious over the time of a whole song.  Can you help me out here?

TexasToest:

My Lady ~ ~ I am Mad by nature, April by birth, and Snowshoe Hare!

Curved Air/Melinda

I admit to having a particular liking for the beautiful Sonja Kristina from this band, in my younger days I'd have followed that lady anywhere!

Lovely, MadAprilHare.  And, thank you for the rose.  I just never caught her.  But, she has a beautiful voice, and the song is well worth a listen.

Maybe since I live in Texas - about as south as you can get, and the Snowshoe Hares live in Northern U.S. and Canada, I wasn't familiar with the animal either.  This is why we have the Internet - free exchange of wonderful music, culture, and critters. 

the new Snow Patrol song, Chasing cars, it's like the best song thats been out for ages lol.

furbster:  Hmmmm, I haven't heard it, furbster.  Guess I need to go on a search.

furbster:
this one?
Snow Patrol ~ Chasing Cars

Yep!

Actually, I found the whole album on MusicMatch, and played it.  It was alright, I guess I'm too old to appreciate the album, but at least it didn't disturb me while I was playing my games.  About the song, I did find the lyrics fetching.  I will listen to the album again, and see if I can discover a thread.  Thanks, furbster, for the heads up.  And, thank you, Nirvana for the link.

A few weeks back Eddie Van Halen appeared on the Howard Stern Show and said he didn't rule out a reunion with David Lee Roth. I think we'd all like to see that, but if the guys are going to do it, it better be soon because I'm not sure how many people are going to care. Now before someone starts saying "I love them" or "it would be huge" let me say that I too would love to see a Classic VH reunion, but I think that time is not on this band's side at the moment. Its news to the die hard fans, but maybe not to the rest of the world The fact is, when Eddie made these comments it wasn't big news that hit all the papers. We've been teased with a Roth-VH reunion for years and everytime nothing comes of it. Anyway, I'll be watching to see what
