TexasToest: Roy,a class by himself

Yes, I love that line too.  It is part of the discussion in this world at the present time.

I like this.  KD Lang was in this show, Tom Petty and Bruce Sprijngsteen.  Well, and of course, this guy.

TexasToest: "when you come off this self delusion youre gonna need a soul transfusion"

I love that lyric

Jim Dandy:  Yeah, and I have loved T-Bone Burnett long and hard for about 30 years.  My vinyl collection includes some of his stuff.  That song (how do you do this, do you read my mind?) is one of my faves of his stuff since his quietus.  I hang in Palestine, Texas a lot since my step-brother and his wife live close to there, and my mom and my step-brother's father had a place there.  It's not that the song is about Palestine, Texas, it's just a wonder that anyone would think to make a song about it.  But, it has a ring, and Burnett is a Texas boy too.  Thanks for that.  Beefhart does predate Burnet about 8- year, Beefhart is 66, and Burnet is about 61. 

Sorry, I get on these rants.  I will shut up now and go back under my.....

TexasToest: don't be silly,it's mushroom tuesday

Tuesday:  Oh, sorry.  I'm having to apologize all over the place.  Think I'll go back under my chair. 

I hear a large Capt Beefheart influence

Jim Dandy:  Sorry, I misunderstoond.  Isn't this Ditzday?  

TexasToest: um,it was the night I was to see STEELY DAN,.........for some reason ole STEELY brought this fave from the 80's to mind.

Jim Dandy:  Yes, I remember the big power outtage on the eastern seaboard a few years ago.  But, what are we supposed to remember in connection with it?:

Jim Dandy:  That's quite an endorsement having come from Jimmy Page.

I had tickets to see these guys that night.This is very rare live footage.Skunk Baxter was directed to the Doobie Bros while in this tremendous band

TRIVIA: Jimmy Page has gone on record stating the solo on REELING IN THE YEARS is the best of the 70's

Tuesday:  It's the truth!  They'd all drown drying to get out as the place burned to the ground.

Jim Dandy:  Ah, but would you wear a bone in your nose ho-ho?  Besides, he's a fire hazzard.  They couldn't have him in a Louisiana swamp jupe joint.

Haha!  Thanks, Tuesday.  You're very kind.

Tuesday: 3 night were the headliner at the T REX concert I didn't attend here in town.Next to the Queen/Areosmith tour,it is filed in the "concerts I regret missing" section.

TexasToest: I might go a little loopy having 57 or more kids running around too

Jim Dandy:  I love that one too, just crazy about Cheap Trick, maybe?  Re:  Wikipedia this guy Jay Hawkins - I have no choice.  I will Wiki that guy.  He belongs in opera.  What a voice, but beeeeezarre.

Tuesday:  The politically correct thing to say is, "I can't believe he's 65, he really doesn't look it or act it."  I'm not telling my age anymore.  I used to, but I quit.  Haha!  I think I'll take it off my profile real quick.     Could you please put a link to the site you got that blurb from, Tuesday, and insert the reference in your post?  I don't want any copyright enfringement issues.  Hawkins had 55 kids?  He never heard of self control, evidently.

Tuesday: That's what he thought,it was closer to 75,but apparently there is a website for possible additions,not kidding

Tuesday: Wikipedia this guy

and read his trivia section

TexasToest: You may have heard it on fm late at night,.................cheap trick were great.I tried to find one of my faves of their's ELO KIDDIES, but to no avail

Tuesday:  Don't think a thing about it - you remembered it just in time.  I missed Stevie Ray's DOD.  By the time I thought of it, it was too late. 

Jim Dandy:  I'll tell you, that sounds really familiar, but I don't know why.  I know I've never seen them - crowds and I don't match.  But, that was excellent, thanks.

Here's a little all time favorite of mine.  Cheap Trick always flips my skirt!  

I caught these guys opening for KISS back in the early 80's.I must admit I found their choreography and poser rock god presentation very funny(Accept not KISS).When they kicked into this song I was hooked halfway through,a great tune



They couldn't speak a word of english when I had a beer with them after opening for Motorhead,but the singer should have auditioned for AC/DC when Bon passed,they sound identical.

Jim Dandy:  Well, I shouldn't have said anything, and I apologize.  I just went out to YouTube, and again watched the post you did of Shine On again.  Something must have happened on my first viewing, because it cut off in the middle of one chorus.  But, I see now that video was actually complete.  We're having "weather' down here, maybe that was it. 

However, thanks for digging a little deeper, and catching that older video.  There is always a thrill in seeing a work early in it's metamorphosis.

TexasToest: this is rough,but rare,floyd circa 1975

Jim Dandy:  Pink Floyd is always a gift.  I just wish Shine On hadn't been cut.  It made me have to go out and listen to it in its entirety.  Thank goodness I had it.

But, thank you for the "fleeting glimpse".

that's probably the nicest thing you could have said

Jim Dandy: That made my day!!! What a GREAT video!

Eriisa:  Even Lynard Skynard is considered "Southern Rock".  Yeah, they did/do other things, but you can't take the country out of the boy(s), and they were from Texas, Georgia, and Florida.  I had a very good friend who is a Canadian rocker say after listening to a guitar player from Corpus, who was playing blues and rock sessions, that he could definitely hear the country influence.  "WHAT?" I thought.  But, when I got to listening to it closer with new ears, it was true, there was a strong country flavor to what he was playing.

Did you hear they went Country?

Their website lists band members as:

Gary Rossington - guitar
Rickey Medlocke - guitar
Ean Evans - bass
Billy Powell - keyboards
Johnny Van Zant - vocals
Michael
Cartellone - drums

Dale Krantz Rossington and Carol Chase - background vocals.

TexasToest: They ain't the same without Artimus Pyle,I wonder who is left?

awesome: That was the original singer,not sure of the rest of the band.I was thinking the exact thing,if Van The Man hasn't covered it yet,he should.

Jim Dandy:

did Van Morrison also do that song ?
