Nirvana: Hi Nirvana! Great to see you back here! BTW, I'm right now in my office, pretending to work but actually listening to "Baez sings Dylan". Wonderful! I'd forgotten what a voice she has!

for the support guys!
Groucho- a PHD is a stretch, but I appreciate the thought. I just try to do my best, can't ask for any more than that.

And nivabef, my sentiments exactly. I do love and appreciate music. I'd go as far as to say I live and breathe it! Can't imagine a life without it! Makes the world go around and brings people together

Nirvana- it is very nice to see you posting again : )

Haridaspal:

Good isn't she.

Joan Baez

I do wish i had the knowledge of music that you guys have

Everyone here is knowledgeable.  We learn from each other!  Glad to see you here.

WatfordFC: I don't know as much as some...I just love it.
I've learned alot tho from this site....read, read, read and listen and enjoy- that's what it's all about!
Like Toesty said a few posts back, it really does heal the soul.
It soothes the savages beasts as well. Calms down my monster dogs anyways

You have savage dogs?  Do they howl in two part harmony?  I know my cats get along better if I leave classical music on when I'm gone. 

years ago, I had a pit bull that could howl along perfectly with 3 Dog Nights song Eli's Coming....

awesome:  You ARE kidding us!!!

My old roommate's dog sings along with the Law and Order theme music. I'm not kidding.

Jim Dandy:  I'd never heard of them.  You got me!  But, I fell in love, YET another time, with the lead guitarist.  Loved his hands, and the way they carressed the guitar.  Music is, in my experience pleasure on many levels.  And, he wasn't a shabby player, either.

baddessi:  Los Lonely Boys are going to be on some late-night TV show tonight, I think I saw.  All we have to do now is figure out when that is, and which show.

TexasToest:
This any help?

Los Lonely Boys on TV!

July 25: Jay Leno
July 26: Jimmy Kimmel and Tavis Smiley Show
July 27: Amazon Fishbowl /with Bill Maher
July 28: Tavis Smiley Show (PBS)
August 18: Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson

TexasToest: I checked out Los Lonely Boys,not bad.Kinda reminded me of Stevie Ray Vaughn's sound in the clip I watched

Jim Dandy:  Thanks!  That surely does help.  Gee, they're making the rounds, aren't they?  I guess I'd better get out there, and hear of some new people!  Hahaha!

wow- you've all been busy here.

awesome & nivabeef- about the singing dogs, I believe you- my dogs sing too! Cool, huh?

And Toesty, it's not in 2 part harmony. It's in 3 part harmony. 3 of them ..one part shepherd, one part black lab, and one 110 toto mix of some kind!!! LOL

Nirvana- thanks for the listings. I love our Los Lonely Boys. I'll give them a listen on TV tonight for sure.

Jim Dandy...yeah, they are cool- check them out if you can get the chance..Part Santana, Part Stevie Ray, and part their complete own style..great riffs, great harmonies, alot of young energy and talent- I think we'll see some great things from these kids in the future...these 3 brothers Rock!!!

This video must have been recorded at our 4th of July celebration in Houston earlier this month, when they played here- I saw this show : )))
Oh ok, on TV, ok, but it was just a few minutes drive to park where they played..couldn't get there for the crowds. Awesome fireworks display after the show...the lighted up buildings in the background are downtown Houston-my home.
Anyways, the old guy in the cowboy hat and white shirt is their proud Dad, Jesse, who's played in bands in Texas all his life. The band is his 3 sons who he taught to play. They asked him onstage to play Houston with them
The clip shows alot of crowd, and not enough of the boys, and gets cut off at the end, but gives you a taste of these Texas boys I love so much..had to share.
The drummer's name, btw, is Ringo....and yeah, he's named after who ya think

baddessi:One observation,I'm an old Deadhead and one of the joys I had was the moment Jerry went into a solo it always brought an instant smile to my face.I got a little of that same involuntary muscle twinge listening and watching that clip,thanks.

Jim Dandy: involuntary muscle twinge??? is it kinda like a ripple in still water, when there is no pebble tossed, nor wind to blow?

Sorry- couldn't resist....I loved Jerry too...still do : )
Glad you enjoyed it. I know that little twinge well.........

I need to slow down, and read the names more thoroughly.  That was
really helpful, and I think I'll catch them on Amazon.  That's a neat
feature they having going there.  Thanks for all your help.



When you said Jessi, baddessi, my heart skipped a beat, because I
wondered if papa was Jesse Lopez from the musical family that spawned
Jesse and Trini Lopez.  Jesse was a friend of mine at NTSU (Now U of
NT), and he used to pick me up when it snowed in his T-Bird to drive me
to the music building.  It was a looooooong walk in the snow!  But, I
see that is not so. 



I see the Lopez boys recently released a new CD with Art Greenhaw, one
of the Light Crust Doughboys.  Don't worry, the only reason I know Art
is that his daddy owns the hardware store on the square here in
Mesquite.  Hahaha!  They started an opry here, and there is still an
opry house on the square.  We have shows there from time to time.  I
also see that neither Jesse, nor his brother are as knock-dead gorgeous
as they used to be.  <img>

baddessi: let's get surreal
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeyrMTsJrTU&search=ripple%2Cgrateful%20dead

Jim Dandy: S-w-e-e-t Love this music

Jim Dandy: nothing invlountary there!!! BIG BIG Smiles
Only a fellow deadhead would get this, but my buddy Matt and I could often jam on that song for well over an hour with just a couple of acoustic guitars...he'd take off on a solo and I'd strum along ,then we'd circle back around...and do it again..and again...and again....
loved the anime in that clip- thanks so much!!! : ))))

Maybe you can hear me in the crowd,I'm the guy having the involuntary muscle twinge

baddessi: Any live Dead song:

round and round and round it goes,where it stops nobody knows

Tabla really fascinates me.  Sitar too, but Tabla players seem to be born.  This is a 16 year old kid, just practicing.  I want to know how he moves his fingers so fast.

Jim Dandy:  Have you ever heard any of Big Wu's stuff?  His sound is very close to the Dead.  

TexasToest: I hadn't heard of them till now.I just checked out their website and from what I read they sound pretty cool

Jim Dandy:  There is a clip of them on U Tune.  I didn't put it up here, because somehow it sounded distorted on my system.  It might be alright, but either way, you could check them out.  I can suggest their album Tracking Buffalo Through the Bathtub, recorded in 1999.  I've been meaning to download it for a long time.  They bear watching as far as I'm concerned.

Does anyone know if U Tune is tied to WMP? 

I think I hit the motherlode with is site.Here's a whole bunch of Wu concerts,not to mention a whole bunch of other bands WU HU!

http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=mr%20big%20wu

Wu Hu is right...
I never heard of that- thanks guys : )
I don't know if U Tune is tied to WMP...just recently discovered them..

and yeah, Jim Dandy- any Dead song will do....can go on forever...and ever...and ever...

boop2004: music is sometimes like ketchup on eggs,some people love it and others can't get into it,I'm happy you enjoyed it

Jim Dandy:  I should have responded yesterday, but you sent me off on a quest.  I had to find out what FLAC files are, and how one plays them.  I found it's site, very easy, just Google it, and I got the names and URLs for decoders.  Then, to clarify my new-found knowledge, I had to check it out with my favorite geek.  Well, you know how geeks are, and I'm still not sure.  I've heard a lot about the decoders not working.  Evidently, most of FLAC is free technology.  WuHu!!! (Loved that!) - just like the old Internet. 

But, FYI, if you like Big Wu.  I have discovered the CD of theirs I like the most (mainstream stuff here) and that is Spring Reverb.  They have the Dead sound, but their harmonies are sooooooo lovely on that CD.  And, their album art?  Gauguin-like - really fun to stare at.

(gawd - I wish I'd proof before I hit enter)

Jim Dandy: In moderation, all music is my favorite music. My own collection is various and assorted. Ketchup on eggs.? mmmmm

TexasToest: I'm pretty simple when it comes to listening or watching to things online.I saw all those fancy shmancy download options and decided to just listen to the stream provided.I'm already having issues with my quicktime playback so I doubt I'll be entering the world of "FLAC" anytime soon
Thanks for the tip on the cd to look for,album art seems to have been a very ignored pleasure since the demise of the LP

I have an idea,I hope its not a prob with anyone,I think we could ALL benefit from it,well here goes.
---
I an a pro at visual multimedia,but I confess I am a newbie just getting into the audio end as far as how to download & burn to CD..music(mp3's or whatever)
any tips on "how to" in this area,please post here to help me(and anyone who could benifit from this)
---
ok now my idea:
is to complile a list of songs to burn to CD in several subjects(thus several CDs)
subjects:
-love songs
-thought provoking(social-political songs)
-dance music
---
anyone got any songs they want to suggest,please note the song and its "subject(add a new subject if needed)

nobleheart:  I might come up with some ideas for your CD, but I'll have to answer to that this weekend. 

As for the CD you want to compile, I'd advise you to check copyright laws before getting too deep into the subject.

nobleheart:

artist:Zager and Evans
song:In the Year 2525
subject: it's a thought provoking love song that you can also dance to.

people download music all the time I hear

  nobleheart:  Yes, they do.  But, U.S. attorneys are also filing law suits against those who do not pay for their downloads.  There are several legal sites where you can download music for a small fee.  And, check the artists' sites.  There are often free downloads there.

awesome: I never considered 2525 to be a love song or easy to dance to It always struck me as a bit of warning to mankind kinda tune

TexasToest: ty but for now I'm just making a list of music in several catagories,not concerned about debating the legalities

nobleheart:  I understand.  I just felt the urge to warn you.  Collecting music is fun, and I wish you the best.  We'll help you all we can.

Jim Dandy:
really ?

awesome: In the year 2525

Love singer Lee dies aged 61
Arthur Lee, the singer and songwriter with the pioneering Sixties band Love, has died aged 61 after a lengthy battle with leukaemia.

The musician died on Thursday afternoon in hospital in Memphis.

Love's most famous album was the 1968 bestseller Forever Changes.

Lee, who is survived by his wife, Diane, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia in February and received a rare umbilical cord blood transplant in May at Methodist University Hospital.

But a hospital spokeswoman said he never left the hospital after that.

He formed Love in Los Angeles in 1965 and the group released their self-titled debut album the next year under the newly-formed Elektra Records.

They released a total of three albums fusing rock, blues and psychedelia.

In the 1990s, Lee spent time in jail for illegal possession of a firearm.

But he made a successful comeback in 2002, touring the US and Europe with a new band line-up.

Nirvana: Talking of Arthur Lee, what happened to Alvin Lee (10 Years After)? Is he still around? Perhaps I'm 30 Years Too-late to ask this, but he was a fantastic lead guitarist.
