TexasToest: :-) Please help! WHat website do you mean?

Radiant2007 :-): The New Song Cafe

The year, 1969, the event, Woodstock.  I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.  He was one of my very favorites of the time.  There are two songs on this video.

Can you name the big boys in this video?  This will be like Where's Waldo, or those games where you have to find the picture of a walnut in a city scape.....

Who is missing?  Awwww, you know.....ok, let me give you a hint:

TexasToest: Another classic mini-doc,yer on a roll!!!

Jim Dandy: Thanks!  I can't believe I bumped into 2 in one week.  I don't want to be too repetitive, so I'll just save them up for special occasions.  Then.....who can resist the Travelling Wilburys?

The Carpenters - haven't thought about them in eons!  She had such grace and presence, and a lovely voice.  They were definitely of another time.

This is Guy Clark backed up by Jimmie Dale Gilmore.  Jimmie Dale Gilmore is a Texas boy, and is sure to become a legend.  He's backing up Guy Clark cold here, but he gets it after a couple choruses.

TexasToest:  I love that style of playing!   Looks like Jimmy got a haircut. 

One of my local favorite entertainers - Bill Bourne. Took in his concert last night, along with the other two in the group Tri Continental - Lester Quitzau and Madagascar Slim. Jim D - maybe you've seen/heard Bill Bourne in Hugh's Room.?

Papa:  Yes, me too.  Wish I could do it.  But, my strumming is more like Richie Havens, just not quite so frenetic.  Hahaha!

Ii don't think Jimmie got a haircut, I think he grew it out.  That was a pretty old video, look how young Guy Clark is. 

Boop2004:  Thank you for the Bill Bourne.and company.  Very nice stuff.  He has a gentle soul, I think.  He said he was influenced by this man.  Papa, you'll like this too.

This guy, along with Mississippi John Hurrt, were my initiation to the blues.  I chose this video, because it shows so much of his technique.

TexasToest: oh wow- thanks...what I'd give to be able to play like that! Thanks : )

I REALLY enjoyed the Traveling Wilburys stuff too

baddessi:  You're always saying you're a strummer, and Havens is a strummer par excellance.  I thought you would enjoy it, that's why I put your name on it.

Yeah, I loved the Travelling Wilburys documentary too.  I thought it was a littl close on the heels of the Incredible String Orchestra one, but it was too good not to post.  Not to mention it was totally different.  Wouldn't it have been a blast to be in that room with a guitar with those guys?????

TexasToest: I would have been happy just to be in the room....don't think I would have touched my guitar among those gods....I would have just been sitting gobsmacked with my jaw to my knees

I'm not really a great strummer....I'm more of an acoutic picker ..and I go at about 1/100th the speed of Richie Havens...I'm just an amatuer..sure do love watching the pros tho

baddessi:  Yeah, but that video of John Lee Hooker shows you exactly how to pick like him.  Maybe we'll change our style, or add one.

Segovia would be proud......

awesome:  I agree he's one heck of a guitar player.  Why, though, did you mention Segovia in your notes?

This guy is older than me.  Whew!  I was beginning to wonder if I was the oldest person on earth!  Well, you already know I think he's the rockingest, sexiest old man on earth.  This song was on his first album (this was before CDs kiddies).  His first album was acoustic, and had no drums on it.  This song has gone on to be his biggest hit ever.

TexasToest: thanks for the Mayall...great stuff.. the reason behind my Segovia comment is that after World War Two, Segovia became among the first to endorse the use of nylon strings instead of gut strings. This new advance allowed for greater stability in intonation, and was the final missing ingredient in the standardization of the guitar. hence,he'd be happy with Steve Howe and Mason Williams I think...

TexasToest:

Mayall is only 74 yrs. old...he's still young!!!!! here's 2 of his bandmates from the sixties...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTqs7_9pyZM

awesome:  Yes, I knew Mason Williams played nylon strings, but on the Howe piece, those really didn't have that sound that gut strings have.  After listening a second time, I can catch phrases where they sound nylon, but during most of the performance, they sound like steel.  The difference must be in the guitar.  Thanks for that information.  I'll be more on the lookout for that.  I thought my ear would hear the difference.  Evidently, not always.

Jim Dandy:  That theory/rumor about Paul McCatney dying in a car wreck has been going around for a long, long time.  I have dismissed it.  Anyone else have an opinion?  Wanna have a vote?

TexasToest: I never got caught up in the McCartney rumor,but me and a few friends did get caught up in the KLAATU hype, for a bit.They were local Toronto boys,Beatle ripoffs,but a helluva album just the same.

Really?  Do you have it?  Is it still out there?

I wrote somebody a note about the Pixies, I guess I'll try again.  Hahaha!  There is probably some really confused person out there in BKland. 

Anyway, the Pixies were pretty far ahead of their time for the U.S. to really "get" them.  They disbanned in 1993, and reconvened in 2004.  Are they still around?

He's performing it past tense APRIL WINE,but Jerry Murcer came along for the ride,always loved Greenway's vocals

TexasToest: I picked up the dvd of the reunion tour,WHITE STRIPES owe them their career

Jim Dandy:  Pretty great lead guitar too.

and it just got specialer

Jim Dandy:  They've been doing that same shtick for a long time.  But, I love Elvis, have since the first time I heard him.  Greag song, thanks.

TexasToest: hang on a sec,he pulled that same shtick other times?
I thought his reprise was historic

Jim Dandy:   I'm talking about the intro where he stops it mid measure, and says there's no need to do that "here".  Once when he was 18 (or how ever old he was in the first video), and again when he was however old he was in the second one.  That's what I'm talking about.  It's surely entertainment, and it's surely used to get the attention of the audience.  Hence shtick.  I'm not faulting him.  At least he's consistent. 

You'll have o pardon me, I'm not totally with it today.   If I've misunderstood something, tell me.

Yes,his reprise was a bit of an event

 Jim Dandy:    Whew.  Thank you.  I'm glad I didn't commit a tremendous  faux pas.

TexasToest: I hadnt even heard the Paul McCartney rumour before!

Ewe:  Obviously, from Jim Dandy's post, it started in 1966.  I didn't really pay much attention to it until somewhere in the 70s, when a radio station did a comprehensive 1 hour show on the story.  But, I looked at early pictures of Paul (which could, of course, been contrived), and pictures of him later, listened closely to early recordings, and Sargeant Peppers and decided it was just a rumor.  I haven't given it anymore thought.  Maybe it's the world's longest case of denial, I don't know.  I guess we all vote our conscience on it.

TexasToest: Yes Ive since looked it up on the internet as I was intrigued, it seems it was a hoax (and from what Ive read I think so too) Now because of the advancement of the internet it has all been brought back up again. Interesting though!

Heres one site I was reading, if anyones interested.....
http://www.paulisdeadhoax.com/  

Ewe:  Interesting site, thanks for the link.  I'm happy you have come to your own conclusion about the story.  "Publicity stunt" used to be the buzz word for stories like that.

it's a shame so many great performers leave us too soon...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brRsRTTp1Pw

awesome:  Right you are.  He was 38 when he died, truly a loss.

Jim Dandy:  I remember that Muffin Man song, but not the group doing it.  Somehow, I had to dig waaaaaaay back there to find the song itself.    Interesting vignette that followed it.  May I ask the significance, or is there a significance?

TexasToest: just consider it my version of dvd extras

Jim Dandy:  Hahaha!  You're a Dandy alright.

Jim Dandy:  Interesting band.  I seemed to hear some Floydian/Gilmore guitar rifts.  Am I the only one?  Thank you, Dandy-Pie.

Ok Im testing out to see if I have clickable links for a chnge, keeping my fingers crossed to post this one!
