G Man Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 I'm in the middle of reading Bear, then Life and Times of Augustus Owsley Stanley III and as a result thereof, I am now listening to a Grateful Dead show recorded live at the Avalon Ballroom, 5/19/66 by non other than Bear. Gotta love the internets. 1 Quote
Punkavenger Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Look what I picked up >>> Ozzys "Speak of the Devil" double LP. Mint $20. 1982 with Brad Gillis on guitar. They do all the best Black Sabbath tunes. I was really unsure on this one ... it could have really sucked. (I made the store owner promise that I could return it if it was horrible ) But NO ... it's actually quite good. Score! 1 Quote
ARM OF HAMER Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) I can appreciate good music, some more than others...............there are some REALLY gifted people in this world talent well beyond mine and most others as well. This guy is one of them................one of the most gifted musical geniuses on the planet.I have had the privilege of seeing him more than a few times...............though he is more well known for his prowess on violin[And for the genre of "BLUEGRASS"] he is also a master of mandolin and this instrument................................. you might have heard of him.

gorch Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Having both volumes of the Netherworld Saga. I must say I quite like them. Digged into the band a bit more. Vanden Plas seem not being a classic touring band over here, but rather produce and play metal operas in theaters in Germany. Although they frequently tend to play various festivals internationally. Also they seem to enjoy more popularity in France, the US and elsewhere in the world. 2 Quote
JohnnyB Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 I just got another batch of LPs from my sister. This time there's a vocalist I wasn't familiar with--Arthur Prysock. Although the orchestrations are a bit treacly, Prysock is one of those African American baritones with a voice as big as the outdoors. Think Billy Eckstine, Joe WIlliams, or Johnny Hartford. 1 Quote
JohnnyB Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Where did the time go? I bought this album when it was released in 2011, and I still think of it as one of my new records. Mine is a double album of 180g LPs. If you are anywhere near my age, the song selection will send you surfing one wave of nostalgia after another--top 40 hits from the '60s (plus Thelonious Monk's signature song) and '70s that resonated with Metheny in his formative years: Disc: 1 1. The Sound of Silence 2. Cherish 3. Alfie Disc: 2 1. Pipeline 2. Garota de Ipanema 3. Rainy Days and Mondays Disc: 3 1. That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be 2. Slow Hot Wind 3. Betcha by Golly, Wow Disc: 4 1. And I Love Her 2. 'Round Midnight 3. This Nearly Was Mine All tracks are solo acoustic guitar played on a variety of designs, from a 6-string classical for "And I Love Her" to his 42-string Pikasso guitar for "The Sound of Silence." Here's his gorgeous rendition of The Beatles' "And I Love Her" played on a classical 6-string. Metheny has a strong affection for The Beatles. He was from a family of brass horn players (his grandfather was in John Philip Souza's band). At age 9, when he saw The Beatles on Ed Sullivan, he put his French Horn away, bought a Gibson ES-175 at a pawn shop, and started jamming to jazz guitar records.

Michael_B Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 The guitar was so fine, I had to look it up. George Benson. 2 Quote
specialk Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 I'm not a Rod Stewart fan. At all. But each year this particular song has more meaning. Let's raise a glass for all of us! 2 Quote
Toadroller Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 The younger Toadrollers played this one for me the other night. Pure silliness 1 Quote
