TexasToest: Hey I enjoyed that! I never heard that tune before! I am not a bit religious but maybe you just converted me? Lmbo!

Mousetrap:  I found a version of that song that will let you know for sure if you have been converted or not.  I started to put it up, but thought it a bit extreme. 

TexasToest: I,m converted! That was beautiful!

Mousetrap:  I thought it was a pretty interesting use of rock 'n roll myself.  Whoda thunk it?  Glad you enjoyed it.

TexasToest: I wonder if they'd consider recording this song

Tuesday:  I tend to agree with you!  We learn a lot here, don't we.

Jim Dandy:  I don't know if they could do that one.  Do you think we could arrange it as a Gregorian Chant for them?  If you can come up with the drone, I will write the score. 

Tuesday:  Well, MY OPINION is YouTube is part of a huge corporationm, and as long as they have what they have up there, we can link to it here.  We're not the ones with the problems.  They have a bank of lawyers working for them.

If it makes you feel any better, I heard the other day they had signed a deal with the British licensing organizations that collect royalties in that country.  They know they are hanging out, and I also heard they were workong on some deals in the U.S.  So, they're trying to make it right.  The Germans have filed suit against them for royalty infringement.  It seems the kitch thing to do right now.  I think Google can hold it's own.  If it was fearful of all this, it would either pull the infringing material, or shut down.  They have not done either.  And, this isn't the first time it has been an issue with them.  A lot of artists are putting things up there, because they realize the sales it brings in.  So, everybody is benefitting here, it's just the huge record companies and super-rich talent are trying to get a little MORE than the sales a posting on YouTube brings in.

Jim Dandy:  Do you remember that we talked about missing Stevie Ray's DOD, and that we didn't really miss it, we just were too late realizing it for it to be meaningful?  I ran across this little file today, and thought, "Hey...why not celebrate Stevie Ray's talent?"   We talk a lot about dead people, but this guy is still alive.  I hear a Stevie Ray Vaughan piece on the radio every day, and every day I fall in love all over again.  So, I'm sending this out to all SRV fanatics, and anybody else who wants to spend 10 minutes with MY king of the blues. 

There's a commercial on UK TV recently for vodafone, the singer is Nancy Sinatra, the song 'The End' originally done by Eddie Grant.

I always thought the singer sound like Pete Townsend,funny story about the night I bought this album,I draged my date into the record store,typical

Clearly it was recorded during his embracing of religon stage,this song grows on you just like scratchy vinyl

I come here on this board and a piece of music starts to play! What is it and who is performing?

oops, why does the video not show up??

Radiant2007 :-): I'm sorry if this is wrong, but I thought I read somewhere that it matters if you use rich text editor or not. So, try it the opposite of what you did. (If you have rich text editor on, turn it off.. if you have it off, turn it on..) Worth a try anyways. :-) I might be totally off my rocker, too.

rod03801:  You are correct, to embed a file, you MUST be using the plain text editor.  Otherwise, you get gobbledy gook.  

Radiant2007 :-): When I come on this board, nothing plays without my invoking it.  Since it isn't happening for me that I come on the board, and something starts playing, I can't tell you who it is, or what it is.  As far as I know, there is not a way to do that.

Jim Dandy: Re:  Off their first album titled WORD SALAD  I agree with you he sounds somewhat like Pete Townshend.  He has that strong voice, a similar timbre.  I didn't realize you were the cave man type, dragging dates places.  If that snaps your suspenders, I guess that's ok. 

Re:  This Al Green gem flew under the radar:  He does seem to be seeking.  That song must require multiple hearings to "get it", so I will listen again, and see how I feel then.

Re:  An excellent cover of a classic A poignant piece, and I agree an excellent cover.  She has a beautiful voice, and the arrangement of that song is quite unusual.  Thank you for letting us share it with you.

Tuesday:  It was Napster's contention that the peer to peer sharing concept sold more recordings than it cost in royalties.  I agreed with that.  I got kind of "off" Napster when they (not Napster, the proverbial "they") started filing suit against people sharing files.  That was pretty Gestapo in my book. 

I think we've had enough input in here today to take weeks to sort out.  There have been a lot of interesting things thrown out for our minds, and souls to consume.

BACH, J.S.: St. Matthew Passion No.39 - Dresdner Kreuzchor

Nirvana:  Thank you for reminding us of our roots,  Every story is multi-faceted, after all.  It pays to listen in all directions before crossing.  Beautiful music.

TexasToest: You mean, only when you come to this board here music starts playing? LOL that is funny.. you must have musical tunes on the soles of you toes!!

Thank you Nirvana for helping me!!

Now let me try it myself as well.. should use plain text editor, huh.. hmmmm...

Youpieeeee, it worked!!!!

No, that was no spam... just trying out how it works to put up a video.. now hope i remember how to do it

Thank you for having me here and enjoy BACH!!

It's one of the songs we did at our outdoor coffee shop performance. You can hear me sing. hahaha I'm only ok. But later I'll upload the girl singing. She will knock your socks off.

I'm trying to get a better video but I have to keep it under 100mgs. Hope you enjoy. Also, I do a little lead picking in it. Can you spot it? :)

Tigger: Whow! Thats cool!  

Tigger: Tres cool,you've got that Jimmy Buffett look goin on

Jim Dandy: totally. I didn't think of it at the time. The hat is a Tommy Emmanuel hat and the shirt is full of different guitars. A present and I felt inclined to wear it. :)

Who is Jimmy Buffett? Got a video from him? What type of music does he play?

Radiant2007 :-): This is probably his most famous song.

rod03801: PARROTHEADS sure know how to party,that looks like a scene right out of heaven

Radiant2007 :-):  No!  No music plays when I come onto this board unless I click on it.  I thought you were saying music starts playing when you get here.

Tigger:  Awwww, you did great!!  Good to see you out there doing something with your music.  God loves to hear His children sing.

rod03801:  You're right, that's about his most famous song.  I knew all the words, did you?  I had an experience with Margaritas in Puerto Vallarta in 1984 that's pretty outrageous.  I was really disappointed I left my earcuff with the Pakistani star and crescent somewhere at the fiesta or in the cab on the way back to the hotel.  No telling what I left that I just don't remember.   I do know I was commode hugging most of the night after we got back to the hotel.  It was the night I scared my friend to death when I crawled under a bus to get our tickets I'd dropped.  Somehow, I assumed the bus driver understood me when I said, "Just a second."  And, that was before the Margaritas.  I don't drink much anymore.  Aren't you glad?

Jim Dandy:  Jimmy Buffet owns a chain of  bars called Margaritaville Caribbean.  We should all meet down there some time, and check it out.  Then, we could all be in heaven.  

TexasToest: I've visited the store portion (a few times) of his bar at the Flamingo hotel in Vegas.I just can't make the leap to becoming another fat guy walking around wearing a colorful bermuda shirt,he knows how to charge too

Jim Dandy:  The mistake was going into the store part.  We could just go in and have a Margarita and leave.  But, you might want to bring a basket to put me in afterwards, because nowadays, a shot of Tequila would put me in lala land.

I don't doubt his stuff is expensive.  And, in Vegas, there are a lot of better things to spend money on.  As far as the Hawaiian shirt is concerned.....I just don't see you in one anyway.

TexasToest: I can't handle loud rowdy bars,unless a band is playing.I'd check it out after having seen a show at the hotel a few times

Jim Dandy:  You figure his bars are loud and rowdy?

TexasToest: The one in Vegas sure was

Jim Dandy:Wow!  We were so young in 1982.  That's a flash from the past!!!  Thanks a lot.  It helps me to know that others have aged as well.

and let's not forget the GOTH fans,a classic

Jim Dandy:  JT - truer words were never spoken.  Too bad we don't all always do that, eh?

Sweet Gene Vincent - got another one on me.  Do I detect the flavor of Elvis, Elvis Constello?

TexasToest: John Otway gives it his special treatment

Jim Dandy:  That's hilarious!  He really does give it his all, doesn't he?  To quote a famous Mousetrap, FOTFLMBO.
