baddessi: I love Paula!!! ;)

I think that Taylor will win but I want Cathryn to win. She's got the most talent IMO. ;)

Groucho: You love everyone!!!
Now that you've mentioned names, I've heard them talk alot at work. I think they all want Taylor.

baddessi: yep, I do.

But I really, really love Paula! And Cathrine too! heheh

Groucho: ...and Olivia, and probably lots more!

baddessi: Be still my heart!!!!!!

Groucho: You're a lover not a fighter?

OK, see you guys tomorrow.

Groucho: Hey!! I like that name Cathryn!! *Giggle*

TexasToest:

wooooo hoooooo

don't need to fight anymore cuz most people run at the sight of me ;)

baddessi: I can understand how they would downplay the impact for public consumption,it's not a good career move to acknowledge a backlash making an imacpt,never let em see ya sweatI suppose I should have just stated that they pissed off alot of Republicans who also happen to be country music fans.Radio stations are getting death threats if they play the record.Their managment was wise to go in a pop direction with the look and sound of the new cd.

To the lost and beloved Famomous music,me and my Family prays and hugs for the true master of music.

On my thoughts,he will never be forgoten,he wrote many pages of music in my fellowship,as he said it was free to all to copy.

He was a very smart man..............

He loved his music,as we'll as we had many conversations regarding it.

He will be very missed,as we'll as a very polite and extremly very intellegent soul spirited person.

It hurts me very deeply to be not able to talk to him,seeing how we for years we had a great passion for music,and i know he loved it,i don't know if quoted would be a good word now,but he will and always be known as a great person in my eyes,and that comes from the Universe of me and my family and friends.



They will be with you my friend.

This was his favorite icon

I hope for a minute of silence on behalf a very good friend.

I'm very sorry alexlee you are and sympathy goes deep for you.

Signing off for a true friend Rockin Ron</a>

Tuesday: Ya pretty sure it was out may 8. Called "living with war"

Tuesday: I dont buy CD's much, but I do like what I have heard so far from it..Our radio station plays it alot

Groucho: It's the cigar, Groucho. too, and, to bring us on topic, who recorded Have A Cigar? (This is a freebee.)

TexasToest: :Pink Floyd :)

It's a fake one. I don't really smoke. I still fart tho. ;)

tehual: Thank you for these. Perhaps two of them could be considered off-topic by some, but I like them, so I'm leaving them up to b'dessi.

Groucho: You are correct, of course. And, you are correct in not smoking dem old stogies. Grrrrrrrrrross!

MUCICIAN RICHARD HUFF LOST HIS HOME IN A FIRE..A BODY WAS FOUND IN HIS HOME..THEY ARE DOING AN AUTOPSY TO SEE IF IT IS HIM..FROM CHARLESTON SC

what style of music, would you call Jimmy Buffets "Maurgauritaville"?
I'm learning some Jack Johnson, and I really like the tempo.

Bwild: Buffet: Folk Rock

Jack Johnson, has an interesting style. Better Together is a signature song and one of his best IMO. Are you a fan of Ben Harper too?

Bwild: country rock, right up there with Jerry Jeff Walker and Pure Prairie League, I think.

Don't know Jack Jackson..anyone got a link?

oh sorry, Groucho...maybe folk-country-rock?
How bout American Music?

baddessi: http://www.jackjohnsonmusic.com/

Groucho: lol..I've been calling it "tiki club" music...
never heard of Ben Harper....just learned JJ's.."Sitting,Waiting,Wishing....and "Times Like These"

baddessi: County/Folk/Rock

Lots of blending of genres I think. ;)

Bwild: I think you'd like Harper too if you like Johnson. I like Johnson more but Harper has a great sound too.

Groucho: I'll check him out...it'll give me something to do while I'm learnn the rest of these new DChicks songs ;o)

Bwild: Let me know what you think. My son tells me all about these players. It's amazing what we still can do with 8 little notes !

Groucho: a b c d e f g.....whats the 8th one?

Bwild: everyone kows the 8th note is B flat LOL
My excuse anyways!

Groucho I love blending of genres, or not labeling it at all. Just good Music. Thanks for the link

Bwild: h

my math is bad ;)

Groucho:
that'll teach you to wear socks.

Bwild:

Musicians....not a boring lot, are we????

baddessi: Nope :) pretty cool bunch if Ya ask me :)

A, B flat, B, C, C#, D, E flat, E, F, F#, G, G#

12 actually, and for swooners, and some wind instruments, all unnamed notes in between.

TexasToest: I was thinking of octave. :) In Eastern music there are 24 notes per octave :) They use quarter-tone notes where we use whole and half tone only. ;)

Groucho: I studied music theory in high school, and at the University of North Texas, and we only had 12 notes in the chromatic scale. The Eastern scale is more accurate, but no one can name all possible sounds that can be made in the name of music.

TexasToest: Yeah but in Eastern music it can sound so strange. Plus they don't use chords like we do. You can't get an Allen Jackson from a 24 note scale ;) But you can get an Abdulah Jahaladin

Groucho: I understand that, but we don't use that scale because we find our scale more pleasing due to the way our ears are trained. It doesn't mean we can't use those extra notes.....and in truth, we do.

TexasToest: True. Are you a piano player?

How do we use those other notes?

TexasToest: Why thanks. Posted only because the information
seemed useful for Rose and Tuesday. Should have condensed them to
just one message perhaps, but I simply forgot the other links twice. :)

Freddie Garrity
November 14th 1940 ~ May 19th 2006
65 year old Mantunian, Freddie Garrity, the lead singer of the 1960's pop band Freddie and the Dreamers, sadly died on Friday in Ysbyty Gwynedd, Wales, UK. from blood circulation problems. He had been suffering from systemic sclerosis and emphersemia for a few of years, spending much of his time in a wheelchair. He leaves his wife Christine, three daughters and a son.

Freddie is remembered most for his very happy, wacky stage shows with his band The Dreamers, and for being able to come up with a some light-hearted top hits at the height of Beatlemania. Freddie Garrity worked as a shoe salesman, a brush salesman, a milkman and he was an engineer also had played in a series of local Manchester skiffle groups - The Red Sox, the John Norman Four and finally The Kingfishers, which evolved into Freddie and The Dreamers in 1959. The band itself consisted of Garrity on vocals, Roy Crewsdon, guitar, Derek Quinn, guitar, Pete Birrell, bass and Bernie Dwyer, on drums. They stayed semi-professional until they passed a BBC audition in 1963. Their first release, a cover version of James Ray's, "If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody" reached to No 3 in the UK charts and led to a series of TV appearances, where audiences quickly remembered the band for their off beat humour and stage antics. After Freddie's U.S. No.1 with 'I'm Telling You Now', American audiences were amused by Freddie's zany stage antics and wanted to know more about the dance he seemed to do, swinging his arms and legs out to his sides, and all sorts of trouser splitting angles!! "It's called the Freddie", he innocently replied. A song of the same name was quickly written and released, it became a U.S. Top 20 hit called "Do The Freddie", even Chubby Checker recorded a cover version. Despite the success of the song in the US, it was never issued in Great Britain. In 1976, Garrity put the band back on the road with a new line-up. It was short-lived, but they did oldies tours in England, the US and in Australia. Twelve years later, in 1988, he got his first serious acting role in a production of 'The Tempest'. Since then, Freddie has also appeared in several British theatre productions and continued to work with different versions of The Dreamers. The original members of the band have all retired from the music business. Pete Birrell became a Taxi driver, Roy Crewsdon bought a bar in the Canary Isles, Derek Quinn went to work for a soft drink company and Bernie Dwyer died on December 4th 2002 at the age of 62. Sadly, by 2004, Freddie Garrity's health began to fail and following an American tour, he had a heart attack, which forced his retirement. He also suffered from systemic sclerosis and enthersemia, spending much of his time in a wheelchair.


(sent to me by someone in the BBC)

Groucho: Yes, I am a classically trained pianist - 16 years of study from age 9. I also play guitars (6 and 12), harmonica, and kazoo. Hahaha! I also sing. A piano is limited to the 12 keys we've discussed before, but the voice is not. The voice is limitless.

tehual: No problem. The input was fine. Thanks again.
