Ewe: Awwww, it didn't work. Are you using a rich text or plain text editor? I'll teach you how to do it, but it depends on how you enter text.

Tracy Chapman really is worth it. And, that is one of my favorites of her songs, that and Fast Car. But, this should make you smile, not weep

TexasToest: Someone I reconised at last! Yes she is good!

TexasToest: What a lovely soothing voice she has.

Mousetrap & Dolittle:  Actually, I didn't bring her in, Ewe did.  I have always enjoyed her, though, and was so glad to hear her again.

I've forgotten more music than some people ever know, but this is band I loved, and never bought anything of theirs.  I think that's going to change.  Our Public Radio station used to play all music, and they played Weather Report a lot.  I listened every waking hour to that station, so I didn't really have to buy anything.  Anyway, I'd kind of buried them, but I ran into a little concert of theirs on Wolfgang's Concert Vault tonight, and decided to listen.  I brought some to share.

Anyway, Boogie Woogie Waltz.  It's jazz, but even if you don't like jazz, you might like this.

TexasToest: Ummm no, I prefer to listen to Tracy Chapman. Don't think I could waltz to that!

TexasToest: Hey thanks for Tracy with the muppets!!
Yes, thank you, I need some computer training for sure! BUT! I think I may have the link situation sorted now??? Im going to see this lady tomorrow night.....(right keeping my fingers & toes crossed this works lol)

My friend is the tour rep so Im getting in free (which is always a bonus lol) Im looking forward to it because I havent been out on a night for a while with having my two little ones & I havent been to a gig for ages!!! Not my usual type of music but still looking forward to it!

Really enjoyed the Boogie Woogie Waltz too, great stuff!!

Dolittle:  Sometimes musical works are named with a tongue in cheek.  I haven't checked, but if the time is 3/4, then it COULD be a waltz.  Let me just check.....pause....yeah, it could be a waltz.  Waltzes come in all genres, tuough.  Think about Waltz Across Texas.  A lot of country songs are waltzes.  Not everything can be the Blue Danjube Waltz.

Ewe:  Let us know how you liked the concert, Ewe.  She has a lot of passion, although like you, it's not my usual preferred style of music.  Some might ask, "What IS your usual preferred style of music, Ms. Toest?"  I wouldn't have an answer, other than, "I don't know much about art, but I know what I like." But, who can fight with the song itself?  And, she did a great job with it.  I'll be looking forward to your review of the concert.

TexasToest: Yes I will definately let you know how it was. Shes on stage from 9.15 to 10.45 so I hope its an enjoyable hour & a half!! I wont see the support band because I wont be able to get there on time by the time I get my kids to bed etc. Not even sure who the support is?
Yes Im the same as you, my music taste is somewhat ecclectic, I like allsorts, its very varied, but there are certain sounds I dont like. Its how the mood takes you I suppose....

Hey did my link work for you to click on by the way???

TexasToest: Blue Danjube Waltz???

Ewe:  Yes!  Your link worked perfectly.  The only thing now is to learn how to put the target page in a new window so we don't leave Brainking to listen to the music.  You do seem to have eclectic taste in music.  That's one thing I like about you.  and have I got a great one for you.....

Pat Metheny is about a 26 year heart throb for me.  In this video, he plays a Pikasso guitar.  It has 3 necks, and 42 strings.  It's a weird looking animal.  It looks kind of like a Siamese Triplet guitar.  The songs are  "Into the Dream" and "Have You Heard".  Give a listen.

Dolittle:  The Blue Danube Waltz was the most sedate waltz I could think of.  Hahahaha!  I thought you might be able to waltz to it.

TexasToest: Blue Danube Waltz I agree with!!


Couldn't resist heckling you about spelling it Blue Danjube before!! :)

TexasToest: WOW what an absolutely amazing instrument!! and so fantastically played, I enjoyed that very much, thanks!!

So glad Ive got the knack of links at long last! Yes now to learn the target thingymagigy!! lol

Ewe:  Are you using the link tool on this chat box?

I'm glad you liked the Pat Metheny.  That guitar is, indeed, pretty incredible, and I liked the part where the rest of the band came in with wind chimes.  Evidently, from what I read in Wikipedia, Pat Metheny is about the only musician in the world playing that guitar.  But he didn't invent it, a woman in Canada did.  I'm going to run out to YouTube, and pick up one from the album I have.  I like it too, but it's just straight Pat Metheny on guitar.  Oh, and it is an album, vinyl, and everything.

Dolittle:  What's your problem, Goat Girl?  It's correct in Spanish.  Hahaha!  No, I spilled water on my ex keyboard, and I had to press another one into service. The old one was a Microsoft Ergonomic, and this one is a Logitech plain Jane.  I'm making a lot of typos.  Sorry about that.

Are You Going With Me? Pat Metheny

TexasToest: Hi just ot home from the Beverley Knight concert! She was great! Loads of energy, passion, stage presence, and an amazing voice! Could really see & hear all the soul deva influences! I thought she was a cross between Whitney Houston & Tina Turner

Thank you, Dandy-Pie.  He was great, as in stupendous, just too short-lived.  It's sad, isn't it?  That so many of the most talented die early in life.  

TexasToest: Dave knew he was dying,he was the only guest that night,quite a tribute

Jim Dandy:  Wpw!  Really?  I wish I'd caught that show.  What year did Zevon die?

This is different.  He's morphing.  Watch this, and I'll show you one of his more recent videos as soon as I got find it again.  Hahahaha!

TexasToest: He passed Sept 7 2003,the Letterman show was done 3 months prior..........might as well end the tribute with his big hit

Jim Dandy:  Great song!  I've always loved it.  That's some fine animation to have been done with Paint.  I'm impressed.  Thanks.

This is interesting.  It's almost a visual depiction of his opinion on the origin of rock n roll - like way back - ancestral.  This is a solo performance.

I like this version.  It has a longer intro, and less hard angles than the album version.

This band is probably the Canadian version of The Ramones,had a taste of success and lots of promise,but circumstances worked against them.Like The Ramones,they stuck around and could always fill a hall,they still do

Jim Dandy:  That band rocks.

Jim Dandy: That guy sounds a lot like Buddy Holly....and the band is very good.

Dolittle:  You think he sounds like Buddy Holly?  I dunno, maybe the inflection,  the modulation of his voice in the performance (some call it a hiccup), but not really the sound.  Of course, Holly has that velvet smooth sound of the south.  But, listen again to Teenage HJead, then listen to Buddy Holly singing

Dolittle:

I thought he sounded like Buddy too... and we know who this sounds like:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfKmoBYZWz0

awesome:  Uuuummmmmm, is it....oh wait...I know...*snaps fingers, scrunches eyes, looks skyward* don't tell me, is it Chris Isaak?....no wait wait, don't tell me.....it's um Elvis Costello...no, that's not it...it's Elvis PRESLEY.  Is it?  Am I right?  Do I win anything?

awesome: Wow, that guy is good! I enjoyed that very much.

TexasToest: They should have been huge,I first saw them at my high school,and later the caused a riot at Ontario Place.The guitarist broke his back at a very pivotal time and the never regained the momentum.

Dolittle: I hear ya about the Holly influence,Frankie's delivery was the source of much immitation when I was young,a perfect subject much like Mick,and nobody could tell if you actually knew the words,lol.........................................This tune is best suited for listening with yer peddle to the metal,top down,on the autobahn
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhEU4oxQ9Qw

but I love the song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ct4OP6RPWc

Jim Dandy:  Yeah, that is great driving music.  But, Doosie doesn't need it, she's a natural speed-demon.  The roads between Oklahoma, and the Hill Country aren't safe when she's en routel  They issue warnings when she leaves her house.

Jim Dandy:  Yes, but it's one of the more interesting songs.  I love it too. 

Hey, I heard this morning that Robert Plant, and Sheryl Crow have a new CDtogether that was produced by T-Bone Burnett.  That should be interesting.  I heard some snips.  It might be kind of serene for some, but I'd still like to hear it.  NPR doesn't have anything on it's website about it yet, but I'll keep looking.

TexasToest: That sounds very interesting,I loved what I heard of T-bone's last album

TexasToest: Maybe I had that driving music on and thought I was on the autobahn!! :)

Texas Toest is have computer problems and had to cancel the music theme night for tonight. She'll get that together as soon as she gets up and running again.

Eriisa: thanks for letting us know : )

Eriisa: Uh ohhhh!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CINjqF5J_2w

Mousetrap:  That's exactly what happened.  Some goblin came in and fried my monitor and my router, and ate them for a snack.  I got here tonight, but late.  I guess I've impressed myself with my technical knowledge.  I always think I'm lacking, but when the chips are down, I seem to rise to the occasion.  It surely caused me a lot of grief.  I'm back up, not whole yet, but at least I can operate out here. Hard to find a job with no computer.  

TexasToest: OOOOooooo Halloween halloween!

Mousetrap:  That's the only thing I could think of too.  While I was asleep last night, two witches came in here with their cauldron, and stood around chanting, "Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble." And I had trouble by morning.

A promise of things to come

 TexasToest: Double double toil and trouble

Mousetrap:Wowee!  Real witches.

TexasToest: What???? I can't belive that Dolittle & Baddessi would come visit you and not visit me too! <pout>

Eriisa:They wouldn't do that to sweet Missy Riisy.  That cauldron had dead mice and newts, ano'possum tails, and bat's feet, and rotted pumpkin, and skunk spray in it, and it stunk to HIGH HEAVEN!!

Amateur rendition of Louden Wainwright's famous in (Texas and Arkansas) song.  These guys are low-key, but pretty funny.  This is a really scary thought!!
