whitefang Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Well, while not really fitting for a GUITAR FORUM, this holiday season, I don't care HOW young or "hip" you claim to be, but many of us CAN'T go rockin' around the Christmas tree without hearing BRENDA LEE sing it. And she's 73 today. And incidentally, she was born Brenda Mae Tarpley. And also not a guitar player but a favorite of mine, McCOY TYNER, jazz pianist supreme is 79.

whitefang Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 Good pick. But for a very few tunes I wasn't much taken with the 5. And that was one of them.

whitefang Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 All I got today is England's oldest rock'n'roll "star" TOMMY STEELE turning 81 this morning. He too, recorded a version of "Singing The Blues" shortly after MARTY ROBBINS in '56. Whitefang Quote I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!

Larryz Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMMY! Funny, I just put Singing the Blues released in 1956 by Marty Robbins, in my set list this last week. I love doing that tune... Quote Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitefang Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 We've discussed that tune before, but mostly the "whitebread" job GUY MITCHELL did to it. But for a long time( too long I'd say) Mitchel's version was the only one I was familiar with. Steele's and Mitchell's came out close to the same time, but in two different countries. Steele's version too, was a big hit for him....But still falls short of Marty's. [video:youtube] Quote I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!

Larryz Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 +1 On Marty's original...but I like the way the Kentucky Headhunters put some harmony to it in this version: [video:youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV2mm1jKEcg Cool tune!

Sharkman Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Monday, December 18th marks the 74th birthday of Rolling Stones guitarist/songwriter Keith Richards. Seriously, who would have ever bet with their own money that Keith would still be around? By the way, if any of you have not read Keith's autobiography "Life", you need to.

Larryz Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Thanks Sharkman! I'm not staying up till midnight tonight so I'll just say a day early: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KEITH RICHARDS! The Rolling Stones are one of my all-time favorite bands. Keith Richards has always been a major inspiration to all of us old rock and rollers who love the Stones!
