Jim Dandy:  Ah, but would you wear a bone in your nose ho-ho?  Besides, he's a fire hazzard.  They couldn't have him in a Louisiana swamp jupe joint.

Haha!  Thanks, Tuesday.  You're very kind.

Tuesday:  It's the truth!  They'd all drown drying to get out as the place burned to the ground.

I had tickets to see these guys that night.This is very rare live footage.Skunk Baxter was directed to the Doobie Bros while in this tremendous band

TRIVIA: Jimmy Page has gone on record stating the solo on REELING IN THE YEARS is the best of the 70's

Jim Dandy:  That's quite an endorsement having come from Jimmy Page.

Jim Dandy:  Yes, I remember the big power outtage on the eastern seaboard a few years ago.  But, what are we supposed to remember in connection with it?:

TexasToest: um,it was the night I was to see STEELY DAN,.........for some reason ole STEELY brought this fave from the 80's to mind.

Jim Dandy:  Sorry, I misunderstoond.  Isn't this Ditzday?  

I hear a large Capt Beefheart influence

Tuesday:  Oh, sorry.  I'm having to apologize all over the place.  Think I'll go back under my chair. 

TexasToest: don't be silly,it's mushroom tuesday

Jim Dandy:  Yeah, and I have loved T-Bone Burnett long and hard for about 30 years.  My vinyl collection includes some of his stuff.  That song (how do you do this, do you read my mind?) is one of my faves of his stuff since his quietus.  I hang in Palestine, Texas a lot since my step-brother and his wife live close to there, and my mom and my step-brother's father had a place there.  It's not that the song is about Palestine, Texas, it's just a wonder that anyone would think to make a song about it.  But, it has a ring, and Burnett is a Texas boy too.  Thanks for that.  Beefhart does predate Burnet about 8- year, Beefhart is 66, and Burnet is about 61. 

Sorry, I get on these rants.  I will shut up now and go back under my.....

TexasToest: "when you come off this self delusion youre gonna need a soul transfusion"

I love that lyric

Yes, I love that line too.  It is part of the discussion in this world at the present time.

I like this.  KD Lang was in this show, Tom Petty and Bruce Sprijngsteen.  Well, and of course, this guy.

TexasToest: Roy,a class by himself

some like NY NY,this works for me

Here's a group I miss, but it's hard on an old woman.....Synchronicity

What a show!!  The pyrotechnics are fantastic.  I wonder how they get by with that.  Outdoors doesn't hurt, but  I'm betting on fire trucks on premises.

Phil Collins has changed!

Nirvana: Its a fantastic advert! My kids love it too! Love it

Nirvana: Naw,couldn't be Phil,he's left handed,his kit is the other way around

Jim Dandy:  Thank goodness for the drummer.  Only you would have caught the fallacy.

TexasToest: I guess they have always appealed to my philosophy that good entertaiment grabs you by the throat and doesn't release you till they decide they're finished.A good entertainer takes control,they shouldn't request it.Keep in mind this philosophy only applies to the stage.

Jim Dandy:  Very good, excellent as a matter of fact, assessment.  I never thought of it that way, other than I knew I had to get the audience fast, and keep them busy.  Same thing, only simple southern girl kind of thinking - not so eloquent as yours.    If it's ok, I'll use yours in the future. 

TexasToest: a good ole song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_efJ6y7eHg

The singer had strep throat,but it was a benefit,what a trooper

Tuesday:  Thank you, Tuesday.  All I am trying to do is bring the subject closer by exposing personal experiences with a lot of artists in our younger years.  You and I differ in that those 65 year old guys you lusted for in your teen years are almost (thank goodness) my contemporaries.  Hahaha!  So, I knew  lot of them when.  I went to North Texas State University in 1964 to study piano, and discovered Michael Murphy (who is now known as Michael Martin Murphy) and I hung out at the same coffee house.  Rather than studying piano, I started a self-study program of guitar, and harmonica.  Voice did fit in with my lesson plans at school.  Oh, and I had a second major - bridge.  Hahahaha!  But, there were other people there, Trini Lopez' little brother, Jesse.  He blew my mind one day by showing up at my dorm one snowy day to take me to class across campus in his car.  You coulda knocked me over with a feather.  Hahaha!  I was going to cut class and sleep in, but who could resist Jesse Lopez?  (Seventh photo down, third from the right.)  He was cuter in the winter of 1964.  Hahaha!  North Texas (now The University of North Texas) is known for it's music school. Don Henley went there, for one.  B.W. Stevenson, deceased, but famous went there.  And me.  Too bad, huh?  If you know much about jazz, you will probably have run into the NTSU or UNT lab bands.  They are an excellent example of what the school turns out.

TexasToest:  VERY nice.....very passionate.  I loved it.   Singing with strep throat has GOT to be painful, but he did a great job.

Speaking of troopers, our minister one year on Christmas Eve sang Ava Maria from the
pulpit with pneumonia, and it was broadcast live over the radio.  It's all show biz, isn't it?

TexasToest: That is tough to do,trust me,but the adrenalin does kick in............I just came across this rarity.The first time I saw this band I was very disapointed,no stage charisma,Smmy Hagar blew them off the stage,but there is no denying their talent.I wisely caught them again 3 years back,great show. RIP Brad Delp

Thanks!  I love Zevon.  Tight band too.  I love precision.

Tuesday: I considered posting "I can't drive 55" in response,but that song is kinda lame
This video is also lame,but I love the song

Tuesday:  Life seems to come at me uninvited.  I just leave myself open, and let it fly in.  When you near the end, you wake up one day, and realize you never closed your hand and kept anything.  I should write songs. 

Jim Dandy:  Great driving tunes,  Would you want to meet that deity?  I wouldn't, he was spooky.

One of my favorite driving tunes (it must be, I've about worn out the CD) - Kirsty MacColl - In These Shoes

TexasToest: I love to wind down the windows and blast my cds as I cruise alng the M6 at 140m/p/h!
I userally play these two over and over

We need to know the driving habits of all our contributors. Hahaha!  What ever happened to Blondi?

TexasToest: Blondi is still going. She was in concert somewhere in NY not long ago.
And this one is really good for balsting the cobwebs away
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iuve2OjY_8

Mousetrap:  Marilyn Manson is really a trip.  But, I've always liked that song.  Not sure that it would be my favorite driving song, though.  I'd have to think to much.  Hahaha!

TexasToest: Maybe you could drive to this version? Or jive lmbo!
I first heard Eurythmics in hospital when I could,nt sleep and was in so much pain from a broken leg. A friend brought me a tape in of them and I have been hooked ever since.
I really was looking for sweet dreams at that time !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OufZbzsUtIo&mode=related&search=

Mousetrap: Oh, I do love the Eurythmics. 

This one is worth a speeding ticket to me.  It's a live version, and all gospel fans, we're going to church:

TexasToest: I was trying to find a different live clip of this song,but this will do.

Jim Dandy:  Now, those arms could hug ya, couldn't they?  Might be kinda stiff, though.  Thank you for finding that for us.  He's kind of one of the originals.
