old music

okay---another one i always likes is " To the Moon and Back", by the quasi-group Savage Garden. But yeah--an Au record-producers' gem, that has all the good stuff. Yup.

okay--another you-tuber who is an immigrant and speaks perfect english has a U-tube video of him solo, playing waaay better blues guitar than bb king(libtard idol) OR Joe Bonnamassa(rednecked idol) on his video titled: "when someone requests a steve vai song". But yeah---you outta listen to it. He does really good. Yup.

okay-----last week---no wait---the week before last----I was listening to an old Rolling Stones tune which you could file under: "Baroque Rock", which went through a phase in the late-60's. The hard-rock groups all had there Baroque Rock song. But yeah---Those Stones had at least a couple tunes like that: "Lady Jane" and of course: "As Tears Go By". A good friend and associate of Mick Jagger also recorded it; coincidentally, she passed away in the last day or so. The good part of those songs was not really Jaggers vocals, but the instrumental parts, by a small orchestra. No doubt dubbed in at some point in the making of the record. I'm just sitting here, wondering if you kids can name anya the Baroque Rock songs from that period.

okay---'nother one I heard on a skating rink group or maybe a jumprope video is a recording given credit to vocalist Shakira called: Whenever, Wherever. I looked it up, and it's classified to be South American Folk Rock or some B.S., but I classify it as post-Donna Summer Disco ala Brill Building. But yeah---it sounds pretty good, is a studio masterpiece that is VERY catchy. Yup. I can't zackly classify it it as old or new. I guess 20 years ago is old. Thank mee.

okay---quite frequently I find stuff in my research that is VERY amay-zeen. So, anyway----Sly Stone was in a group that was a pre-cursor to the Mojo Men. He quit as a band member, but worked behind the scenes. I can only speculate on the reason. Well, the Mojo Men recorded a Steve Stills song called: "Sit down, I think I love you", which was very melodic and had lots of cool stuff in the recording. The drummer whoi also sang backup, was a young lady named Jan Errico.(see photo) She also used the name Jan Ashton. But, before that, she was in a band named The Vejtables, and they recorded a song by Jan Errico called: I still love you". She sang in that one, too. It was a VERY catchy McCartney-esque little ditty with a lively bass guitar. You can find it on U-toob. But yeah--Sly Stone formed up a band(Sly/Family Stone), that used Greg Errico on drums, and yes--he and Jan are related. Isn't that A-may-zeen?Attachment 6262

okay----guess what? I found another photo o' Sir Carts of Beetledom. (see photo) Ahh-summm & A-may-zeen. But yeah---hope that makes your day. Yup.Attachment 6268

okay----back when ';carts was taking leftovers out of the fridge to serve up to the dedicated beatlemaniacs(the long and boring ode/lady mccartsney/hey dude, and The Media obligingly played those pieces of beatle garbage over-and-over-and-over, there was a group that debuted on Ed Sullivan and performed at Woodstock 69, that completely eclipsed the mop-topped foursome from liverpuddle. Yup. The group was: Sly and the family Stone. Their appearance on EdSul didn't have the audience packed with adoring manic teeny boppers, but middle-aged white suits, who just didn't "get-it". At Woodstock 69, they went onstage at the scheduled hour of 3:30 A.M., in the rain. Yet, they are critically acclaimed as the best featured act at the festival. Which in fact, they were. Go figure. But yeah--I rewatch all their old videos of S&TFS, live performances, and they are THE most underrated music group of the late-60's-early 70's! Yup. And of course--the Redneck-based "Classic Rock" radio stations have all but ignored them, while endlessly replaying crap by lennnard skinnerd, the almost bros, and the Egos,and of course--Godamn Earache, etc. Hope that helps you kids some.

okay----i know you kids practically worship Carts as though he was the Best Beatle, ever. That's why you'll give a week's pay for a tickick to see the old geezer. Ha. However, experts, including myself, strongly disagree. We know that Pete Best, the Beatles' Drummer who left the group due to creative differences, was by far THE Best Beatle, ever. Yup. (see photo) But yeah--Attachment 6288Attachment 6288if history had taken the right course, why--Carts would've left the group instead, for a solo career, singing moronic garbage like: Mee-shell, Ma Bell, Uncle Albert/Amoral Halsey, The Long and Windy Song, Lady Madonna, Hey Jood and other such garbage. See? Yup. I always like to be of help around here. Thankk mee.

I know this may cause great consternation with LBB but I've long been a fan of Mark Knopfler, from his Dire Straits days up through the present, mainly because of his distinctive sound and mastery of the fingerpicking playing style. One of my favorite of his works with Dire Straits is a song, "Why Worry", written and recorded 40 years ago. I think it first came to my attention because it was so slow and melodic as opposed to the faster, frenetic work by the band. Here's a live version (which I always prefer to studio versions).

And here's a later version I've only recently discovered from a Chet Atkins TV special featuring Atkins and Knopfler on guitar, The Everly Brothers handling vocals and and Michael McDonald on keyboards. I include this version too because I think it's simply beautiful.
