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 ?

Jim Dandy:  You're a prince, Dandy-pie.  Funny, Lynard Skynard is on the concert agenda here.  Wanna go?

Jim Dandy:  Yes, I believe you are right.  I took a films class as an elective in school, and he showed movies that haven't been available for 30 years, and that was 20 years ago.  *groans* twenty years?????  I think I'll cry.

TexasToest: Apparently they have acess to films not in release,for course study.I also had him send along WAY WAY OUT,the Jerry Lewis movie,I'm not sure if it's been released since

OK.  I can see you doing that.    Maybe someday I'll show up in your town, and maybe you'll let me watch it.  

TexasToest: I actually tracked down a university film study group to transfer it for me onto vhs,it's not availible on dvd.I paid through the teeth,but I was determined to get a copy

especially after seeing the video you posted.  I missed that movie, maybe I should try to find it?

TexasToest: Burl showed lots of contained rage in "Let no man write my epitaph" one of my fave flicks,and the resemblence is uncanny

Jim Dandy:  I never thought of Burl Ives as rageful.  But, Hetfield at least has an outlet for his.  He can beat his guitar to death, and he yells a lot.  I like him though, but () his dad's name is Virgil (not that I'm so smart, I just read it in Wikipedia).  You figure Burl is a stage name then? 

TexasToest: I still think Burl fathered James Hetfield,same contained rage

Jim Dandy:  I never thought of that.  Interesting observation.  He did kind of get down and walk with us commoners more than most opera performers, and classical musicians. 

You surprised me, because I'd never seen a young Burl Ives.  I kept asking, "Is that Burl Ives?" 

TexasToest: I thought of him as the Burl Ives of opera

~Patty~: Thank you for announcing that. I have been in total denial since I heard that news yesterday. In my opinion more than the Opera world will miss him, as he was a treasure who will never die. Thank the Powers that be for the magnificent gift of video to preserve such a talented, and passionate man. Was there anything he could not do? When he met James Brown:

"

Pavarotti trivia: Did you know he referred to his voice as "she?"

Luciano Pavarotti, a world-celebrated tenor, died Thursday at his home in Modena, Italy. He was 71 and had suffered from pancreatic cancer.

Tuesday: Yes,many a time I have wished someone would post,just to remove me from the headline page

I'm still smitten

Tuesday:  You're right.  I'd never thought of it that way.  But, I do the same thing, depending on what is in my head on a certain day.  I might be listening to more classical since today, for the first time in years, I opened the cover to the keys of my piano, and ran a couple arpeggios before driving to work.

Nirvana:  That was really cute!  It reminded me a little of Finding Nemo.

Tigger: Hey that guy,s good! I really enjoyed that! Thank you very much for sharing.

My Chemical Romance ~ The Salmon Dance

Tigger:  Thank you so much for sharing that with us.  Such a beautiful to wake up. this morning.  In three words, MORE! MORE! MORE!

Tigger: Thats really good Dan.

This being close to the end of Watermelon season, I thought a little Watermelon Man might cool us off.  I wish I could nave a keyboard like that one.  I used to hate that I played piano, because I couldn't pack it into a case, throw it in the car and go.  That's why I took up the Uke, and eventually guitars - portability.  Well, here's the solution.

Jim Dandy:  Let me just swallow this lump in my throat, and would you happen to have a tissue?  Really well-done.  But, now I have to watch the rest of them.

from the vastly underrated film PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE.It may be better than the original

I heard this woman on Pandora this evening, and went on an all-out search for her music.  Of course, YouTube didn't let me down.  The bonus in this piece is the kaleidoscope that is the video.  Carthy is the daughter of Martin Carthy, and Norma Waterson, both musicians.  Eliza Carthy's contribution is her work with traditional English folk music.  You might enjoy this, so it is here for your consideration.  Eliza Carthy  If you know about her, please tell me more.

Jim Dandy:  He has a good voice, given some training, he might be excellent.  The lyrics are ... well ... limited.  But, what LUNGS!!!!!  I liked some of the take-offs of it, though.  They were pretty funny.

Ooooops, I messed up.  I didn't mean to do Seger twice, I meant to do this

TexasToest: Great choice.Bob was great in his day,turn the page never gets old.This song and video has become quite a hit in the utube world

what better way to start a holiday than this?

Surprise, surprise, surprise.....

Jim Dandy:  You have all the breaks you want/need.  You have quite a few years to catch up at the turn of the millenium.  Just don't fall behind while you are catching up.  But then, what can be more fun than discovery?  Captain Beefheart is a national treasure.  I'm happy you found him.

TexasToest: Give me a break,I'm slowly working through the decades.I hope to reach 2007 by the new millenium
