TexasToest: I knew he was..I remember you telling me. I thought you'd enjoy having him back for a few : )

Universal Eyes: that's fine. Your choice. Not a very nice thing to say tho, let's keep the boards nice....and on topic please.

TexasToest: I posted on the wrong board..left the message in case someone else saw the message..but thanks- it's all good now : )

LOL whoops-- wrong board- sorry

yep- Eagles rule

TexasToest: I agree with you on both counts...thanks for that Jim Dandy...haven't seen anything on them in ages!!!!

And yep- Eagles are like a fine wine or scotch....awesome to start with, but even better with age

TexasToest: I love playing Bach on the piano too, and Beethoven, but when I really want to have fun I play Mozart...or Scott Joplin

oh yeah...Rebel Yell!!!

nivabef: I love hearing that Starbucks Hear Music when I hang there...it's such a good mix of everything good.
*sigh* I suppose I'm going to have to get it. My daughter's boyfriend says the same...doesn't know how I live without it!

oh yeah, and Los Lonely Boys's drummer is named Ringo..and yes, he's named after another famous drummer named Ringo, I believe

TexasToest:</i> So many kinds of music, so little time</i>
I think you'll love them both..Dotsero is...well awesome jazz with energy is the best way I can think to describe it.
And Los Lonely Boys are 3 brothers who grew up listening to the best of all forms of music. Very blues-inspired, very tejano-influenced, very Sanata-inspired, along with a healthy respect for classic-rock...many flavors all melded together in a most delicious treat.
They did have a hit and got a lot of airplay with a song I'm sure you've heard and didn't know who it was with Heaven

http://www.dotsero.org/
Chekc them out...I'll get it eventuallty. I'm already convinced I'll be hooked...this group gets some airplay on Smooth Jazz stations, and probably they've been played on the XM and you just don't know it's them. Good stuff!

mako887: that's the kind of stuff I like too...but I also love the classics. I don't have XM radio.....yet!!!
I discovered an awesome contemporary jazz group when I lived it Denver a few years back- not sure if they are still together, but they made some great CDs..their name is Dotsero. Give them a listen if you haven't heard of them. I think you'll like them.

mako887: I love the jazz that I know..my Miles Davis CD's are one of my treasures...Billy Holiday, Etta James, Ella....that's all jazz, right? Who do you like?

TexasToest: I love Zydeco!!! Salsa and Blues too...This souonds like an advertizement for New Orleans..I couldn't believe the variety of the music in that place...you can walk down Bourbon St and others going from bar to bar and hear every kind of music you can think of. Of course, Jazz is one the most prevelant. NO is world famous for it's jazz...but not many people know they can also hear awesome blues, rock, metal, motown...anything you can think of. It's a virtual smorgasbord of music.

I'm listening to Los Lonely Boys right now. I don't know how to quite catagorize them...would you think it's "Texas rock?, "Blues" "Tex-Mex"? "Latino"? 3 brothers from a small town outside Austin, I believe..or maybe San Angelo?
I just know it's awesome!

TexasToest: oh how sad..I loved him!!! I hadn't heard. Thanks for that Texas.

I can sing alto too- in fact- that's pretty much all I can sing now

Groucho: oh yeah, well that- can't argue with that. LOL
Like I said, I haven't heard enough of either of them to know much about them

and I CAN spell alto btw...just in my late night typo state of mind

Groucho: yeah, pretty easy, fun for me anyways...
Roseanne sounds like Dolly? I don't hear that...but I haven't listened to either of them all too much. I think of Dolly as a soprano, Roseanne more of a rich alot, but what do I know?

Groucho: Righto Groucho! I knew you'd know. Can ya play it yet??? LOL
Have you ever heard his daughter's version? She redid it about 20 years ago. She did Daddy proud, I think : )

Dolittle: yes, he can play....
oh yeah, on topic...who sang the song...

♫♪in a little cabaret, in a south Texas border town, sat a boy and his guitar and people came from all around....and he could play...♪♪♪

What dolittle said! Go crazy? I'm afraid it's too late for our dear Groucho!!!

Groucho: thanks for that- I'll be around

TexasToest: thanks, I tried. Kinda like being in art class again! It was fun for me too!
Thanks again for taking the lead!
You rock!

.....I'm going on summer vacation. Taking a hiatus from the site. I'll pop on from time to time. If my games time out, don't worry. Enjoy the win!!!
Carry on and have fun...good luck and high scores!!!!!

I'll leave you with my favorite lyric of all time for you to remember me by...

♫♪♫ ....And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make....♫♪♪

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

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

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

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?

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

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

Groucho: my daughter wants to be on that show!

CANDY22: I used to love it and watch alot. I haven't seen it in a long time, so I don't know the people. Who do you want to win?

Skyking: yep - all those and the ones Groucho mentioned as well. I saw Neil Diamond about 10 years ago. Boss had tickets and made me take her. He had an electic shirt! It sparkled all night!

Tuesday: hey- is that song that Eriisa mentioned "Lullabye" on there? I don't know that song. I'm waiting for the collector's addition of the CD 'Home" to arrive in the mail. I ordered it from Amazon along with some old Emmylou "Blue Kentucky Girl" and the new one from Michelle Branch & Jessica Harp. If you don't know about them, I think you'll like them. Good rocking country stuff, I'm thinking. They recorded under the name "The Wreckers"...I'm waiting for that to be released so it can ship..sometime this week, I think.
As for that tape, you really don't want to hear my singing...but I'd love to hear yours.
I was messing with my guitar last night wondering what I'd play if I actually did it. I worked on one from your girl from Missouri there, Sheryl, and got to playing "Strong Enough" It's one of my theme songs, and I think of you when I play it too : )
Thought you might like that one...some cool picking there : )

Groucho: I gotta give him credit for that. It's a tough thing to do. Many musicians have fought their way back from addiction. Others haven't been so successful. We've lost alot of good ones.
....Muddy Waters turned to wine..

Skyking: really? I've never heard that, but I don't know all that much about him. That's a shame. No excuse for that.

Groucho: yep
yeah, I always thought he was underrated. Don't know much of his stuff tho, to be honest.

cool, let me know...now to keep this on topic..
who sang?
...♫♪♫♪Galveston.... oh Galveston♫♪♪

TexasToest: thank you- I knew I didn't spell it right. Well, you know, I wanna come there, but kids, hubby and money aren't as eager as I am.
You know, the Hard Rock Cafe downtown has a whole room (shrine) dedicated to Stevie. It's just off 45 on the way to Galveston (hint, hint)

oh yeah, thang..I stand corrected

TexasToest: sweet of you to say, but I'm prety sure I was born before Nancy. But I know when I was young, I watched her cut her teeth on that Red Brick Floor (Anderson's Fair??) downtown Houston. She had some good company as well. Lyle Lovett, who practically grew up in my back yard, tho he doesn't know me...Townes Van Sant(is that right?), Shake Russell..and let's not forget ZZ Top . not to mention Steven Stills, who I believe was from up your way as well, and my two favorite Texans of all time..Steve Miller and the one and only legendary Stevie Ray Vaughn
Yeah, I guess Texas has made a pretty good contribution to music...oh yeah, Buddy Holly...shall I go on??? LOL

Jim Dandy: actually, I caught them on a morning talk show today. I don't know if it was local or national. They seemed just fine, and said that it really wasn't a big deal to them. That it was a little thing. They are about to start on tour and seemed very happy and well : )
And yeah, I think alot of the hassles they got were because they were from Texas, not necessarily a Bible Belt thing, but a Texas thing. Bush was Governor here.

*typos*

TexasToest: A couple of hours south of Dalaas there's quite a few of us here as well. Nancy Griffith got her start here, lots of others...
I just learned Norah Jones is an alumni of UNT, did you know that, Texas? Don Henley as well. Many great opera singers too.

<g>gogul</b> Texas girls love male guitarists! : )

Haridaspal:yep, the one and only Neil Young

Eriisa: I may not agree with them on all issues, but I love them. What a group of talented girls. But I don't think they'll crossover. They are country girls thru and thru. What I wouldn't give to be able to sing like that!

Texas Toest as co-moderator of this board. She has graciously agreed to help us with little notice. Thanks Texas!
