d halfnote Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 When he's got those "sometimes I feel like a motherless child but I'm so out of it, I don't even know if that's a bad thing" blues he plays the piano.

Mr. Nightime Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I've heard him play piano on "Nobody Loves My But My Mother, and She Could Be Jivin', Too". "In the beginning, Adam had the blues, 'cause he was lonesome. So God helped him and created woman. Now everybody's got the blues."

MonksDream Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Mr. Nightime - that's the song in this clip. Instrumentation is meaningless - a song either stands on its own merit, or it requires bells and whistles to cover its lack of adequacy, much less quality. - kanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d halfnote Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Yep, Jazz, that's Mr. Riley K. himself at the keyboard, way back in the early1970s. As for this: http://B3and88.com/img/Amidol.jpg I'm not sure of the connection. That is, I hope I'm not sure... you can't be suggesting those pikers might evaluate BBK's performance, can you ? At any rate why'nt go ahead & fill out the whole "3 monkeys" metaphor ? d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmp Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I probably can't. I'm not entirely sure myself. I haven't had much to do for the last few days but enjoy a high fever, a few other symptoms, and read much of the discussion here about the cheapening of art, artistic standards, art vs. craft, tools vs. know how, about where tax money earmarked for the arts actually goes, how folks like to spend their entertainment time and money. I was thinking about PD's expensive furniture vs. cheap furniture analogy while looking at a couple of the cheapest pieces of furniture my grandmother could have built in the 1930s. One is nothing more than a wooden box with a finish that wasn't all that pretty when it was new. I was thinking about how different it is from today's cheap furniture, smooth slabs of toxic waste mixed with sawdust and glue with a pleasant looking coating, pumped out of large factories. In that context, it seemed funny to wonder what the sawdust and toxic waste in todays big time show biz would say about that performance. I'm sure it won't seem funny when the fever goes down, nor will the explanation make any more sense than it doesn't now. --wmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shameful that they keep you locked up there all the time ! Mayhaps you should write a blues song about that. d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
