Mousetrap: Didn't they open for GWAR once?

Jim Dandy: Probably!

JUST A QUICK HELLO TO WISH EVERYONE A GREAT WEEKEND!! 8^)

I caught them opening for KISS back in 76,I was a big fan from then on.Here is a song that should be covered,undiscovered gold

Jim Dandy: I've hear that term a lot, but don't know what it is. What do you mean by it being covered??

Eriisa: It means someone should record their song or songs,thus the term "cover band"

Jim Dandy: ahhh, cool! thanks

SEAWOLF2: HIYA! THANKS VERY MUCH. YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND TOO!

Jim Dandy: ok, I give up. Who are they and what's the name of the song?

Eriisa: His name is Barney,do you like Nazareth?Here is their big hit cover of the Gram Parsons composition Love Hurts

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrSs7gfLDjc&mode=related&search=

Jim Dandy: I know the name, just never saw them perfom

Jim Dandy: Barney!!!! ROFL! you are just TOO funny!

Eriisa: I'm not sure if he tours anymore,kinda like The Beatles I guess

Now here's MY favorite!

I hope you enjoy them,they're called Spock's Beard

Jim Dandy: lol, I always said anyone who plays a 12 string can't be all that bad! I liked them.

Eriisa: Well,it's not up to Barney's high standards,but I'm in the midst of exploring their catalogue.I love finding new bands to explore

Thanks for the Spock's Beard vid, JD.  You also opened my eyes to a new band, and that is always a thrill.

You may have heard of this guy, but I was very happy when I found him too.  He was a member of Cry, Cry, Cry with Lucy Kaplansky and Dar Williams.  I have actually seen Dar Williams live, and she is an excellent song writer and solo performer.  I have never had the opportunity to see this artist.  But, I have bought everything I have found that he wrote and performed.  Have a listen to
Richard Shindell, "The Next Best Western".

Now, on this Barney & Muppets thing.....have you people lost your minds?

TexasToest: You need to ask?

Well, not about you, Goat Girl.  From one GG to another, I know the signs when I see them.  But, I don't know about Canadians.  They might actually be sane.  After all, they live up there where it's nice and cool.  We live down here where it's blazing.

TexasToest: There goes that "sane" word again,a classic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_PILVkA0MY

Was that your take on sane, then?  Hahaha!

Here's a song I was thinking about this morning, but I was thinking of Glenn Miller, and the swing era.  Interesting the parallels in this to more current musical styles.  Another thing I remember about the swing genre is its use in cartoons in the 50s.  What music!!!  See what you think....

PEnnsylvania 6-5000 - written by Glenn Miller so he could remember the phone number of the Pennsylvania Hotel in New York City.

TexasToest: I always liked Glen Miller but that was that was better lol!

You liked it?  I'm now on the hunt for Setzer's albums.  Amazon has them, so now I'm in for another investment.  Hahaha!

Mousetrap: It's about time someone posted a uke video,but I was hoping it would be this guy

Jim Dandy: LOL! That was great! Tipptoeee throughhh the tlipsss with meeeee I have always like Tiny Tim!
That bloke,s face behind the counter was a picture!

Mousetrap: Yeah,I didn't want to post the predictable Tiny Tim,but now that you mention it.Did you know he was buried holding his uke?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skU-jBFzXl0&mode=related&search=

Jim Dandy: No I did,nt know that! What a character he was!

Well, the ice caps ARE melting.  He was proof positive that anyone can make it in the entertainment world, it's all in the presentation.  Hahaha!  Thanks, Jim the Dandiest.

I used to play the uke, before I played the guitar.  You have to start small, don'tchaknow?

TexasToest: You did? Can you give me some tips as I play it all the time now lol!

I grew up always thinking Tiny Tim was actually Jimmy Page just fooling around...

awesome: Who? this guy?

HAS ANYONE HEARD OF AMY WINEHOUSE?
SOMEONE RECENTLY TOLD ME ABOUT HER. SHE IS FROM GREAT BRITAIN AND IS AN ATTRACTIVE DARK HAIRED BEAUTY WITH "BIG" HAIR. THE SOUND CLIP I HEARD HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH BEING IN REHAB. STRANGE LYRICS IN MY OPINION, BUT SHE HAD
A REALLY POWERFUL ALTO VOICE WITH
A RASPY, BLUESY, JAZZY SORT OF SOUND TO IT REMINISCENT OF JANIS JOPLIN. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE
HEAR HAS HEARD OF HER?

Mousetrap:
NOW DON'T I WISH I COULD VIEW THESE VIDEOS FROM MY WEBTV???!!!
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS UKELLELE
ORCHESTRA VIDEO! THAT MUST REALLY
BE SOMETHING TO BEHOLD!

Jim Dandy:
OMG! TINY TIM..... NOW THERE'S
A FLASHBACK! AND, YES, I SEEM TO RECALL TINY TIM'S WIDOW, MISS VICKIE, SAYING ON A TELEVISION INTERVIEW THAT HE WAS INDEED BURIED WITH HIS UKE.

SEAWOLF2: I NEVER HEARD OF HER BEFORE BUT SHE IS A BIT OF ALRIGHT, I HAVE NOT MADE MY MIND UP ABOUT THE VOICE THOUGH LMBO!

Mousetrap:
"A BIT OF ALRIGHT" EH, MOUSETRAP?
LOL! I TAKE IT YOU LIKE HER BIG HAIR AND THE EXOTIC LATIN LOOK SHE HAS THEN, EH? LOL!! SHE'S A BRIT ACCORDING TO HER ONLINE BIO. BUT
I CAN'T SAY SHE SOUNDS MUCH LIKE ONE TO ME.... SOUNDS MORE LIKE A
TRANSPLANT FROM NEW JERSEY OR SOMETHING IF YOU ASK ME! LOL!!
BUT I DO LIKE HER VOICE THOUGH!
IS IT JUST ME, OR DO YOU THINK
SHE SOUNDS SIMILAR TO JANIS
JOPLIN TOO? NOT EXACTLY, BUT THE RASPY QUALITY TO HER VOICE I MEAN.
THERE'S A SIMILARITY THERE I THNK!
AND HER TONAL QUALITY SOUND A LOT LIKE A FEMALE SINGER WHOSE NAME I CAN'T QUITE REMEMBER.... WAIT, LET ME THINK.... AH! TIMI YURO!! THAT
MIGHT BE IT!! YES, I THINK IT IS!!
DOES ANYONE HERE REMEMBER TIMI???
WHAT A FABULOUS VOICE SHE HAD!!!
HER BEST RECORDING YEARS WERE IN THE 60'S AND 70'S. POP SINGER WITH A LOT OF BIG HITS, BUT ONE OF HER BEST REMEMBERED SIGNATURE SONGS WAS "HURT". I THINK THIS NEW GAL
AMY WINEHOUSE SOUNDS, AND MAYBE EVEN RESEMBLES TIMI YURO SOMEWHAT (BUT NOT THE HAIR!). WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, MOUSETRAP? DO YOU REMEMBER TIMI YURO AT ALL?
SHE WAS AN AMERICAN SINGER.... FROM THE WEST COAST I BELIEVE.
AT LEAST THAT'S WHERE SHE STARTED HER RECORDING CAREER FROM WHAT I CAN RECALL ANYWAY. SHE MAY HAVE BEEN BORN ELSEWHERE THOUGH. BUT I DO THINK THIS AMY WINEHOUSE HAS A BIT OF TIMI'S LOOK AND HER VOICE
CAPACITY TOO!! YES, I'M SURE IT'S TIMI YURO NOW.... THAT'S WHO AMY
REMINDS ME OF, YES!!

This band went by pretty much without a notice,but was very respected by musicians in the industry FANNY

This song is from it.The singer's voice always reminded me of Pete Townsend
