music is music

Jim Dandy:

cool...wasn't that Chester from Gunsmoke ? Marshall Dillon must have caught him fooling around with Miss Kitty at the saloon ....the death penalty seems pretty harsh but Mathew Dillon didn't mess around...he's my hero...

Tuesday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wf80ViipX4 man I love this tune

Tuesday: OMG,funny story.I loved the album,bought it when it was released.Joe Walsh plays almost all the guitar.When I was replacing my albums with cds it wasn't available.Years later I heard the song Thunder Island used as an intro for a radio segment,I called the station's music director to see how he got a copy,it was on a 70's compilation.The complete cd was released finally about 10 or so years ago,one of my favorites for sure

shoulda known that Jim Dandy would get 10 in the Music Trivia contest!

Tuesday: Joe pretty much played all the guitar on the whole album.

Eriisa: Yeah,too bad I wasn't aware it was timed lol,next time I'll test my speed

Jim Dandy: lol, don't feel bad, others stopped, got up & went to the kitchen, wandered around the house, and then came back! I think the record time was 6 hours!

Eriisa: I saved the planet from extinction while doing it,but I wasn't going to brag

Jim Dandy: LOL, you are so wicked.

Tuesday: The whole album is great,Happy Birthday Baby is another nice song.This might be my favorite cut off the album,though the lyrics at times sound like they have no other valid reason other than they rhyme

Tuesday: If after repeated attempts of trying to find it you fail,I can always blank you a copy as a last resort

Tuesday: you meant blank cds

Tuesday: Be calm and make no sudden motions,he tends to be shy

awesome:  Thank you for the Geils.  That's some great harp playing, isn't it?  I'd love to play like that, but the technique, while I know WHAT they are doing, I've never had anyone explain HOW they do it.  We used to call it cross-blowing, but I don't know what they call it today.  

Jim Dandy:  Intense is right!  I might call it terrifying.

Tuesday:  I like horses AND Harleys.  Haha!  I don't usually like crowd scenes, but the swap meets are fun, especially if they're a couple days.  And, I remember Thunder Island, and still love it to this day.  It's a priceless classic in my book.  Thank you, Jim the Dandiest.  But, why are we surprised you found that one.  We know how you feel about cow bells.  

Scorpions were a band I got into around 1974,nobody had really heard of them in North America at the time so I'd have to buy imports of their albums.In Trance was a great album released around that time.Being German,they sang english phonetically,and it was sometimes funny the lyrics they'd write such as "I take too much in the saturday night" but they rocked,and apparently still do.Let's visit with our good friend Klaus Meine and company,and listen and watch the classic song IN TRANCE.....is that Casey Kasim enough for ya?

You stretched me, I'd never heard the Scorpions, or that song.  Didn't you love the music of that time?  It had a metal sound, but not as hard-core as  today's metal style.  That was excellent.

I heard a really odd tune this morning, and YouTube doesn't have it, as far as I can tell.  It was David Allen Coe, and he was doing a RAP!  I just drove along with my mouth wide open.  Good thing I have tinted windows.  Hahaha! 

TexasToest:
I know you have heard this TexasToest.........

awesome:  No, never!  Every now and then something like this comes along that I just flat missed.  If I knew dates, I would know what was taking my attention....mid-70s...my ex (he wasn't my ex then) had a nephrectomy, and had to have a bunch of stuff re-plumbed.  I was pretty taken with taking care of him during the year between 1974 and 1975.  I missed a lot of things.

TexasToest: Ik up the Virgin Killer cd,they banned the original cover,if you see it you'll know why.

Next to Captain Jack I feel this is maybe Billy Joel's best and most powerful recording

gogul: I just listened and watched the Francis Cabrel video,what a talent.I wonder if he's influenced by Neil Young? in fact Neil should cover that song,thank you

gogul: I enjoyed that.The singer in an old band of mine was a huge fan of Charles Aznavour,now there's a lover

gogul: Did you enjoy the album he recorded with Jon Anderson of Yes?

Jim Dandy: I don't know which one that is. I enjoy Yes quite much.

And King Crimson! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5w0Xy_6WIY0

Mike Oldfield - Montreux 1981 - Tubular Bells part 1a

I plug off my pc. See you all around.

gogul: Before I feast on tubular bells,I'll leave you with this my friend

Jim Dandy:  I just hate that a song like Goodbye Saigon had to be written.  I always jerks my heart strings, and wells up those tears behind my eyes....the ones that almost escape.

You guys were busy while I was gone.  Too bad I'm too wasted to stay up and enjoy some of it.  But, tomorrow is another day.  Glad y'all had fun.

TexasToest:You young and wasted kids need your sleep

the older I get the younger I get

awesome: When you consider that we come into the world in diapers and sometimes leave in diapers,you may have a point

I have a funny story about getting the special foldout edition of electric warrior autographed by a session musician back in the early 80s who was then a dj at a strip joint in Florida,but that's a story for another time.I was a T REX nut back then.I love this tune

awesome: An undiscovered gem,what set some 70's rock apart.


Tommy Bolin sat in to play the leads on both these songs for a local bar band that fell apart on the edge of success

Jim Dandy:  Why thank you!!  I haven't been called young in a long time.  Funny, they give me the senior discount without asking.  Should I be insulted?  Hahaha!

Hey, I have a fav Canadian band, and as a matter of fact, I'm working on this one now.  I have the lyrics down, the tune is in my heart.  If I can't feel it, I can't do it.   Bad Timing Blue Rodeo.

Jim Dandy:
that was good stuff...thanks....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2k1Vz1-rjc&mode=related&search=

Jim Dandy:  And.....thanks for the Kiss.  Do you ever wonder what people who put up that kind of show do in their personal lives?  Would you ever suspect any of the members of Kiss would be Marvin Milktoast?  

The Bolin stuff has been great, guys!!  Didn't he play with the James Gang?

August 26: Jimi Hendrix' Are You Experienced was released 40 years ago today.

The date appears to be uncertain in some minds. Most sources I saw online said it was released in 1967 with nary a word about a date. But, Wikipedia makes reference to this date as the original release date of a single with "Purple Haze" on side A, and "The Wind Cries Mary" on side B. Further down the page under albums, they give the release date of August 26, 1967 for the album, Are You Experienced. Since this date has been corroborated by Jon Dillon on 92.5 FM. Lone Star Radio, I'm going with it. Note that Are You Experienced was on the charts for 106 months, that's over TWO YEARS folks!!

For your information, Lone Star Radio streams over the net. I love this station, because the DJs are a bunch of people who have been in radio, mostly in Dallas, since the 60s. They are knowledgeable, and durned good folks. Their morning show with Bo, Jim and Kelly is outrageous. I drive down the freeway to work in the mornings laughing unashamedly at their antics.

They have a studio they call Full Throttle Garage where they record artists who float through this town - kind of an ad hoc thing. I heard JD (not our Jim Dandy §: ), but Jon Dillon) interview the band I'm leading up to on the radio the other day. The Seattle Times wrote of the band, "I heard the spirit of Jimi Hendrix, It was Back Door Slam from the Isle of Man". Their recording is the second play list on the Full Throttle Garage page. Before you discount it, they are NOT country. They deserve a listen. I would recommend starting with "Outside Woman Blues".

Have fun, and ask yourself today if you are experienced. "Not necessarily stoned, but....beautiful."

This first time I saw him open with it onstage,I thought I'd witnessed a great new performer,my opinion kinda went downhill after the first cd

TexasToest: Thanks for all those tasty links TT.I was never a Hendrix freak,but I've alwasys wanted to visit ELECTRIC LADY studios.So many great musicians and recordings were done there.

I've never listened much to Kd Rock, guess he just never made my
radar....except for one thing.  He did a song with Willie Nelson on the
Great Divide album called "Last Stand In Open Country".  It is
excellent.  That was my exposure.  He's a little arrogant, but what a
band!!!!



It was my pleasure to do the Hendrix piece.  I've also been wanting to
expose everybody to Back Door Slam for a couple weeks.  Glad you
enjoyed it.  Guess I'll trade ya one Jimi Hendrix for one  Kid Rock. 

Hey, you can't miss with Townshend.  He was surely dressed up for that show.  I like that song too.  Thanks for the link, Jim Dandy.  I added it to my favorites.
