Wow.... not one mention of any of my regulars.

Alvin Lee (the honest to Pete guitar god, no Eric whatshisname)

Peter Green (just about anything along about '67 -'75)

Jeff Beck - Situation, Goin' Down, Spanish Boots

Tony Rice (with or without anyone)

Manassas - Turn Back the Pages, Bluebird, So Begins the Task

Sean Phillips - Contribution, Second Collaboration


Not much popular stuff there, but I think most of that stuff holds up
well even though some of it is 35-40 years old.

Robatoy seems to have the most eclectic (de gustibus non disputandum,
est.) of musical tastes, of all of you. Do any of you play a musical
instrument? Zappa, Henry Cow (oh, yes), Stravinsky. Tom

Back then, Little Feat didn't leave my turntable for weeks.

There are many memories attached to Linda Ronstadt's version
of "Willing" as well.

That and Pure Prairy League, Poco--- The Running Horse image designed
by the late, great Phil Hartman of SNL fame. I still think Poco is
great. On my shelf, next to Beau Brummels, Buffalo Springfield. Can you
say Burrrrrito Bros???? I love a lot of music, but that
blue-grassy/rocky/country thing has got a piece of my soul. I'll be
spinning some Poco this evening.

I know I'm going to ragged on for saying this, but they don't make them
like that any more. They just don't.

*cartwheeling on out to the shop and singing*

Well now
Amie what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do

Now it's come to what you want you've had your way
And all the things you thought before just faded into gray
And can you see
That I don't know if it's you or if it's me
If it's one of us I'm sure we'll both will see
Won't you look at me and tell me

Amie what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer
Longer if I do

(sounded better after '78 when Vince Gill joined PPL...little know
fact..)

Best get to work before Boetcher gets mad at me again...
note to self: bring Decca record brush to shop to blow out with air....

Yeah but 33s and saw dust just are not the best of friends, but being
a geek and former Shure engineering tech, where there is a will there
is away. However none are available outside my abode, for me it is
fair use of my LPs (1), beyond that lay the land of DCMA.

Money For Nothing - Dire Straits.


Second only to "Sultans of Swing", about the best song ever done by
anyone

In my player today:

Keller Williams -- Stage, Disc 2

Tommy Emmanuel

Solas

Itzhak Perlman -- Four Seasons

Dave Matthews Band

Acoustic Alchemy

and of course,

Bela Fleck doing unnatural acts with his banjo



Or else the radio's playing Click and Clack and their inane laughter
or Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me from Chicago . . . .

It is both amazing and gratifying to me how the occasional music
thread cleanses the group and brings up both the similarity and its
opposite in terms of taste.

My initiation of the thread was about base line grooves, which I
figured that Swing would jump on but that most would leave more or
less alone. I thought this to be obvious from the initial selections.

I'm happy to see that my intent was misunderstood and that the product
is far more excellent than a strict adherence to the intent would have
produced.

Since we seem to be talking about the baddest possible jams, I'd like
to add:

Damned near anything that Joe Pass ever played.

Damned near anything that McCoy Tyner ever played.

Everything that Wes ever played.

Everything that I've ever heard Django play.

Everything that Ricky Skaggs ever thought about playing.

Any mandolin played by that kid from Nickel Creek.

Mingus...Mingus...Mingus.

Steve Stills, when he's really on.

CSNY when all the high notes ring.

The entire Buffalo Springfield Again albumen.

Dylan - for fooking ever.

That wonderful blonde woman from Canada who did almost every song that
I liked in the mid seventies. (the wind is in from Africa...)

Canadian Railroad Trilogy.

The Last Of The Red Hot Burritos album that has the best version of
Six Days On The Road that was ever recorded.

Leonard Bernstein for his scoring of West Side Story.

Vangelis for his scoring of Chariots Of Fire.

Tom Waits.

Warren Zevon.



Well, we're at the Z's. Let the rest pass for now.

Tom Watson

Base lines ...or bass lines *G*..Like Taxman, Paperback Writer, Drive
My Car, Ticket To Ride..

No bass, no base. A good rythm section will drag the rest of the band
through to recovery after their biggest screw-ups.

Robbie Shakespeare, Jaco Pastorius, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool.
Saw David Jacques a few weeks ago with John Prine, excellent.

here's some Wooten

This post makes me ponder how much great music is out there today.
But, it would be my opinion that Sir Paul M is not among them. I feel
that Lennon was the genius.

Lennon & McCartney were prolific pop-tune generators. Their
understanding of what the market desired was probably the best ever.
It was Harrison who was the 'genius'..and Riongo was a FAR better
drummer than anybody gave him credit for.
Just saying...

Thats an interesting POV - I cannot disagree. And, I'm not sure why,
but drummers never seem to get much notice.....except maybe that dude
from Blink 182 who's got that babe and all...
My point is based on Lennon's post Beatles work compared to Paul's.
Imagine and other work of Lennon have a genius to them. While Paul's
work is marginal at best. I believe that if Paul were not a Beatle,
his work would be canned. But, JMO - and I am not much of an expert in
music - just an avid user.

I'm not sure which part of this to take vehemant exception to Robatoy. For
starters, Lennon and McCarthy were'nt pop tune generators. Well - not after
Sgt. Pepper anyway. They didn't understand what the market wanted, they
pushed the market into new sounds and expressions that the market had no
idea were out there. They were nothing if they weren't drivers of music.
Like Hendricks, they were forces in changing the course of the market with
radical and unexpected music.

Harrison was a great musician and both schooled and talented, but a genius
he was not. He brought a discipline to the Beatles with his jazz roots and
his structured playing but he was as predicatable as the sun rising every
morning. His song writing was nice, but not genius. If anything George was
the foundational, or stabilizing force within the band.

As for Ringo - I'd agree that he was better than the worst of his reputation
as a drummer and he did have more schooling and background than many knew,
but it was easy to not recognize that Ringo had that background since his
playing was so bland. Not like an artisitic underexpression - just
uninspired drumming. He had more knowledge of what to do with drums, but in
my opinion, he was as bad a drummer as he is accused of having been - simply
because that's how he played... badly. It does not matter what he knew - he
played badly. That's a bad drummer.

.... and I love the Beatles. Go figure.
