Stuck in the past... Things have changed man... There are tons of great talented musicians out there.... just need to look around.... Few get radio air time.... It's why I don't listen to the radio anymore....Except for the Bluemoon cafe from 9 to noon..
Just a breathe of fresh air every Sunday.......Some people go to church, ......Me I prefer to meet up with a good fishing partner, and listen to the 'Cafe' on the way to our destination. That is what hits home....right there.
I despise AC/DC............and the best that came from Aerosmith was the album "Get your Wings" from the early 70's. After that, they went mushy Same goes for Journey. After "Evolution" they got fluffy too I doubt you listen to music more than I do................or have a more diverse collection Go back to building stuff ! Something that you know about
I know you are a musical fanatic Gamma. My query is, and always has been your lack of acceptance and/or enlightenment of different generes of music. No argument needed, as for once, I am positive that I'm writing the truth.
That was a great jam tune Scott! Anyone here a Mad Season fan? I'm sure Layne Staley wrote this regarding himself.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWFv5ZoVET8
I never realized the music I listen to is "elevator" music? ...... Or that I am a vegetable? I've always considered myself (in hindsight) a fairly cultured man, with a coconut that holds average grey matter? Then again..maybe I'm missing something.
Earlier, I went to Hoopes Park in Auburn to see Stone Soul Foundation. Since I got home, I've been listening to Harry James and Tommy Dorsey ! When this album is over, it's Duke Ellington ! I love music that motivates.......not depressing, "turn yourself into a vegetable" elevator music !
That's great, man! I am very good friends with those guys. Sean, Jeff, Dougie, Shane...(and went to college with Dirty Dan- the former guitarist, now of "The DT's and Brown Baggers" fame)Fun guys, and I have even had Sean fishing out on Peck's Lake after a Gloversville show. He's the only dude I know who fishes in leather pants and jacket. Cracks me up.
Jeff builds custom amps or something too, right?Jeff does some repairs and light tech stuff but he's endorsed and uses "Voodoo Amp". They're a company that take Marshall Amps and turns them into fire breathing tone monsters ! Jeffs guitar tone is the best around right now ! His playing has a lot to do with it I even remember him from his past band (with Dan). "Shepard", maybe?Yup !I have had some very fun times at SSF practice in Shane's garage/studio out back. Always. I don't see the guys too much anymore, but Muldoon's Facebook status's keep me entertained.The Dreadlocked Philosopher ! :^)I can't wait to see that dreadlocked ginger noodling flatheads... That's a hilarious image.What a great guy though. Always pleasant, always funny.An understatement for sure ! That;s why those guys will make it ! They all have a great attitude, they work hard and do whatever is necessary to move to the next level and they've stuck to their game plan !I like to pick on Shane sometimes. He sure loves his U2 (as do I), but I've never seen ANYONE hate the Grateful Dead as much as he does. Something about having two drummers in a band, I think? I despise U2 and can only tolerate the Dead on every third Sunday ! :^) But (ironically) they can rip some great Allman Bros (two drummers, go figure) and Zep covers, on top of some truly impressive originals.Which they did last night towards the end of the show. The did Zeppelins What is and should never be, followed by the Allman Brothers Band "Whipping Post" (which they do so well that you'd think it's the ABB playing it) and then finished off the night with Metallica's "Whiplash" They definitely made a ton of new fans last night ! Many who would never have gone to a bar to see them ! They will now ! If you like "roots" country and drinking songs, David Allen Coe is in the regular rotation here ! :^) ...you should check out the DT's at Suzy's or something sometime. Definitely will ! I heard they're a great act !Tyson is quite a singer and those guys get the bar rocking pretty good. I am due for a trip to Montezuma at some point, perhaps we will cross paths! Tell the boys Jimmy says hello. They know all about my fishing addiction.Definitely let me know when you're heading to Swamp country ! I can be there in 35 minutes ! SSF is playing a benefit show at Suzy's on Saturday ! Naturally, I have to go ! :^) I'll give the guys your message when I see them there ! Looking forward to meeting you !
I apologize. One too many shots of jameson and I think I'm king of the world.
