Nirvana: Thanks for the Maiden.That album and this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww3VXCeBNus redeemed my faith in metal in the 80's.It had gone pretty soft till then.

Rose: I went to school with the drummer Ritch (stich)Winston,great guy,he taught me how to play double bass drums.

awesome: Thanks for that,and how about Jim Croce,so special

awesome: Damn I love The Cat,what a musical genius.Creativity can be so unpredictable.We caught years of special music,but now he's focused it in another direction.I guess we should just be grateful for the great music he gave us in that period. I lost my dad 5 years back,this song always brings a tear

awesome: I'm there man.I heard about it from a Rolling Stone article about 6 months ago.Apparently there are some legal issues originating from Bob Weir of The Dead.I guess Bob is a little short on cash these days It's a killer site

awesome: If you ever come across a vintage video "of Nantucket sleigh ride" pass it along.The version on utube is a little weak.

Mousetrap: You may enjoy this.It was recorded by Caruso back in 1907.I saved this about 6 months ago,real musical history.

TexasToest: I cruised around the lonely boys,but decided to post this classic vintage live clip of "The Nuge" I never get tired of this song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3J-XYnZHfU&mode=related&search=

TexasToest: That's it.I forgot who had originally mentioned them.I wanted to do another utube search on them

TexasToest: Hey you! I forgot the name of that blues group you had posted here awhile back.They were brothers I think.I think "boys" was part of the name,I wanted to check out some more of their stuff

baddessi: Wow,it's rare these days to find dancing softball players.I wonder if it was easy to hit while in motion

Nirvana: I wondered why there was so many versions of Melanie singing Ruby Tuesday on utube.Was it a big hit for her? Brand New Key was poison to her career in her opinion,it was overplayed and gave peope the impression she was a novelty act.

baddessi: My first thought on hearing it was that it could easily be titled The Soccer Mom Song

baddessi: I checked out your cousin's music,she's good.I hope she doesn't have to pay royalties for the creative chorus in the Highway song.Here is one of the most talented and sadly ignored folk singers of the last 40 years,this song still gives me chills

TexasToest: I constantly try and maintain an objective point of view when it comes to different styles of music.It's so easy to label certain music as "crap" but I try and remember that it's an art form and regardless of it being pleasing to my ear it might be pleasing to others.In other words,there is no "bad" music,just different.I can appreciate those who are schooled in the finer points,but I was a self taught player and I think that also allows us to be less strict in what we can do,thus more creative at times.

Nirvana: How often do you see and hear a fiddle player playing the blues? His work on The Starship's Red Octopus album was a treat.

Tuesday: Eddie Money is on the bill I see,he sure has got alot of milage out of one good album.

TexasToest: I gave it a quick once over on ebay,it's actually cheaper buying it from the source.

TexasToest: Happy B-day Odetta.......Going with the theme,I just invested a tidy sum in purchasing the complete Midnight Special DVD collection.I watched that show every friday night,it's about time it was released.

Some of you may want to investigate this dvd

Andersp: Thanks for that,very authentic.

Any Zydeco fans? I remember a great band called Lucky 7,they turned me onto the music.If you can find the cd Feed The Snake you'll understand how good they were.

and here are some 2 minute samples

TexasToest: I don't know if I'd call it selling out,but they are definitely going for a more mainstream look and sound.Going for the Shania crowd.

TexasToest: My thoughts are that "The Chicks" are trying to broaden their audience for survival purposes.They have undergone quite the image change from the looks of it.I do think they might have pushed the "victim" envelope a tad far though.Sleep well

TexasToest: Interesting points.The list is long of artists who's best work was done prior to cleaning up,no matter what they say.I could probably spend hours discussing this topic.

Nirvana: Thanks,great clip.What a tortured genius he was.

TexasToest: I found 30 second clips of every song,check it out.Angel Baby was a fairly big hit.

*** Edited to make link shorter ***

TexasToest: Rob is a scoring player isn't he.I thought I had found a gem on utube of Stevie Ray and Jeff Healy dueling,but it has been removed and Roy Buchannon is nowhere to be found.I finally found a cd by a band I saw(and loved) open for Bob Seeger back in the 70's,anyone ever heard of Toby Beau? it took forever to replace that album

It's nice to be back

Tuesday: cool,I guess lightening can strike twice

TexasToest: I found some recent live stuff he has done in England,not sure if he has any new stuff.

Tuesday: I'm not sure about "takin care of business" being done spontaneously,but I am aware that "American Woman" started as a riff that was being played by Bachman as Burton came to the stage improvising the opening lyrics.

baddessi: Bachman left The Guess Who when he got tired of Burton Cummings drinkin and drugin.He went on to form Brave Belt and later BTO.There was bad blood between the two(and many lawsuits)until recently.They reformed The Guess Who about 5 years ago and tour off and on.Bachman also tours with a version of BTO as well as solo.

awesome: I still kick myself that I missed them opening for 3 dog night.I became a big collector of T.REX around the time of Marc's death.They were so unappreciated in North America,SLIDER is still one of the best R n R albums ever made.

Nirvana: Yes,my (semi-retired) comment was based on the lack of any recent activity on his website since 2005

Haridaspal: Ten Years After reformed (minus Lee)in 2003.Alvin seems to be semi retired at this point.

awesome: In the year 2525

[lyrics removed....it is a violation of board rules to post lyrics]

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: 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

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

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!
