Mousetrap: No i doubt I will go in June to see her.
She is headed your way this summer I believe

Rose: End of October she will be here.

Just heard this amazing guitarist - Tommy Emmanuel, probably Austrlia's greatest guitarist. Amazing!

Haridaspal:  Bo!  That's some awesome flat pickin'.  We have a picker (well several, but he's my fav) named Bill Hearn.  There's nothing of his on You Tube, probably because no one has been able to film him.  But, he's blind, and he plays in the same style as Emmanuel.  It's amazing to me that he never misses a note.  His wife is also blind, and plays the piano and sings as well.  Someday, maybe I can get some information up about them.  Thanks for the flick.  I loved it.  It's obvious he loves performing too.

Hey, I know him!!!

I stumbled across this video of Classical Gas just last week or two.

I watched that, Eriisa.  It was really funny!!!

Tuesday: did you go to that festival?

Tuesday: Eddie Money is on the bill I see,he sure has got alot of milage out of one good album.

Thank you for that, Nirvana.  Interesting reading.

Some of those born 28th May.................

Papa John Creech - isn't it funny how our parents, well my parents, I'm older than everybody here, thought rock 'n roll was such a screech genre.  And, here's Papa John, born 1917 (previous to THEIR own births) out there rockin' with the best.  Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Nirvana.

And then, there's John Fogerty.  That boy (little over a year older than me) is still rockin' today.  What I kept coming back to while watching that 1969 performance was your comment below, Jim Dandy, "Eddie Money is on the bill I see,he sure has got alot of milage out of one good album."  One might say the same of Fogerty, except he's done a lot of good stuff since.  But, he seems never to drop the great hits of the 60s.  I don't think he's changed one lick of "Down on the Bayou" since 1969. 

Two weeks after Woodstock was the Texas International Pop Festival.  It was an awesome event, especially seeing that it took place in the middle of redneckville.  There is a website put up by a guy who was there.  He has included this story about a festival we have every year here in the Dallas area.  It's pretty funny, but only us oldies can REALLY relate.  Hahaha!  Enjoy Wilting Wildflower for yourself.

Jim Dandy:  Thanks for that little piece.  How do people get soooooo talented, I just want to know.  I had a little discussion with a man at lunch the other day about the word musician.  His idea was that only classical musicians were musicians, and everybody else is amateur.  I knew I was in trouble at that point, and I just let it drop.  He got no validation, and I knew I was right.  I happen to be both, or have been, and it's nice to know I have knowledge beyond the imagination of some people.

Today in USA is Memorial Day. This video I think is really cool, and just wanted to share.

Thank you, Eriisa.  I've already hugged my veteran today.  

TexasToest: I constantly try and maintain an objective point of view when it comes to different styles of music.It's so easy to label certain music as "crap" but I try and remember that it's an art form and regardless of it being pleasing to my ear it might be pleasing to others.In other words,there is no "bad" music,just different.I can appreciate those who are schooled in the finer points,but I was a self taught player and I think that also allows us to be less strict in what we can do,thus more creative at times.

Jim Dandy: Hear! Hear! Well said!

baddessi: I checked out your cousin's music,she's good.I hope she doesn't have to pay royalties for the creative chorus in the Highway song.Here is one of the most talented and sadly ignored folk singers of the last 40 years,this song still gives me chills

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxhqqr6LPVo

Jim Dandy: oh thanks...I dunno about the royalties..I wondered about that too, but knowing her as I do, she got permission to put it in her song..whatever channels that takes.
Thanks- I think she's great too : )
She tells me that that song is based on my life with my kids and her other friends with kids..
I AM the Queen of the Highways!
Going to check out your link : )

Jim Dandy: OH Thank you! I hadn't heard her in years! I love her..this was always my favorite of her songs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHF-iApfWis&mode=related&search=

baddessi: My first thought on hearing it was that it could easily be titled The Soccer Mom Song

baddessi: and this one:

Melanie Safka - Goodbye Ruby Tuesday

Nirvana: I wondered why there was so many versions of Melanie singing Ruby Tuesday on utube.Was it a big hit for her? Brand New Key was poison to her career in her opinion,it was overplayed and gave peope the impression she was a novelty act.

Jim Dandy: yep! My kids played softball and danced!

I never knew she did Ruby Tuesday
And I agree with you on the Brand New Key thing...
it gave her some exposure, I guess, but not really the good kind, imo

baddessi: Wow,it's rare these days to find dancing softball players.I wonder if it was easy to hit while in motion

Jim Dandy: 

TexasToest: Hey you! I forgot the name of that blues group you had posted here awhile back.They were brothers I think.I think "boys" was part of the name,I wanted to check out some more of their stuff

Was it Los Lonely Boys?  Actually, baddessi was the first to post about them.  I'd never heard of them, but now I have.  You commented on them "I checked out Los Lonely <span>Boys,not bad.Kinda reminded me of Stevie Ray Vaughn's sound in the clip I watched",  

TexasToest: That's it.I forgot who had originally mentioned them.I wanted to do another utube search on them

Jim Dandy:  Go for it!  Let us know what you find.

 O sole mio

TexasToest: I cruised around the lonely boys,but decided to post this classic vintage live clip of "The Nuge" I never get tired of this song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3J-XYnZHfU&mode=related&search=

TexasToest:

Los Lonely Boys

there were a few on clips youtube, this is one of them.

Mousetrap: You may enjoy this.It was recorded by Caruso back in 1907.I saved this about 6 months ago,real musical history.

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

Jim Dandy: Thats very much! My mam will enjoy it too!

Jim Dandy:
Yeah, it's harder to get them out when they are dancing..
Just to clarify, one played fast pitch, one is a darn good dancer, and the other one (known on here as w0nder kitty) is our karate kid. She may look sweet and innocent, but she's a brown belt and NOT afraid to use the force! LOL

And now to keep this on topic...here is a video clip I hope you all will enjoy...check out this guitar! LOL soooooo cool!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvyMwXBkvF4&mode=related&search=

Nirvana, Jim and Mousetrap..those are all so great! I enjoyed every one of them. I love the diversity on this board!
Thanks

Jim Dandy:  You can tease me with Ted Nugent any day.  And, that's all I'm going to say, today.   
Caruso - be still my beating heart.  Hey!  There's one that's older than me!!!!  Haha!  Such a thrill to hear him on a recording that is of his vintage.

Nirvana:  That was great!  Talented boys, hey?  Don't forget to watch the one with Carols Santana.  There are a few drop outs in it, but it's still worth a look-see.

baddessi: Oh yeah!  Thanks for the John Fogerty.  As always he makes us smile, and tap our feet.  That guitar really is a trip.  I don't believe I've ever seen one quite like that.  I wonder how you string it?  I have stringing guitars on my mind these days, as you know.  Hahaha!

Thanks, everybody.  I needed that.

awesome:

wow awesome and Nirvana...Mountain!!!
What can I say but AWESOME!!!

And just to set things straight from the earlier convos about Los Lonely Boys..there are THREE of them..and they are all brothers..the Garza Brothers..Henry on lead guitar, Jojo on bass and .the one hiding behind the drum set is the third brother..his name is Ringo and named after..yes, you guessed it. He's not out front like the other two, but his voice belnds with them and gives them that awesome blend..you might not notice him there hiding behind the drums, but you would notice if he ws NOT back there singing too.
Anyways, here's one of my favorite songs of there and brings him out from behind that drum set and shows his stuff a little.
