d halfnote Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 [video:youtube] Maybe the best song Burton Cummings ever wrote... Maybe... can't ascribe that from my cursory knowledge of his work but it's at least impressive he sang in a lower register & the song structure does seem diff from most pop tunes....more like a Jim Webb tune. One of my fave things lately is to chk the tune after the target track so I wondered if this selection... [video:youtube] ... might actually be better....GAG YER COUSIN VINNIE W/ A SPOON don't even bother---past the 0:30 second spot you'll be forever changed in a most negative way. IN NO WAY, HOWEVER does that reflect on Picker's choice of the best B Cummings tune as he assigned above, in fact it intensifies his commendation ! d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree...cant without the apostrophe has a different meaning. Can't with the apostrophe is the contraction for can not...(which is the way I meant it).

Larryz Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 @ Picker, the Strat sound he's getting out of that toilet seat are as important as Mark Knopfler's on Sultans of Swing IMHO. That's not the one I saw him playing on stage, so he gets that sound out of other Strats as well...can't judge a book by it's cover... Hey, I MEANT it, I love the looks of that thing! Me too!

whitefang Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Just wondering what y'like or find interesting abt that track... I also wonder that no one seems motivated to comment on any interest they have abt the music posted by others. Just like the style it's played in and the subject matter. We were all "stoners" when it came out and it kinda hit home. Just liking the sound of it. Sometimes(most, I'd say) it's really only all that simple.

skipclone 1 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I remember that Jonathan Edwards song well-in those days I was also listening to a lot of David Bromberg, Arlo Guthrie, The G-Dead of course. I never get tired of acoustic.

whitefang Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Hard to figure out some people. On one hand, the man gripes because I too much, and then pisses and moans if I don't ENOUGH! :idk Yeah, Skip, 'bout that time I was where you were as far as acoustic goes. Was also listenin' to a lot of Cat Stevens then, Danny O'Keefe, Croce and the like. While simultaneously getting into fusion and more jazz. And speaking of Danny.... [video:youtube] Nice mix of acoustic smoothness and sparse but effective semi-electric assistance. Would work as well if just him and acoustic guitar. I used to pass my time with the tune, just me and my ol' Epi. Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitefang Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hearing the last half minute or so of THIS being used in a TV commercial for The Dollar Shave Club caused me to dig up my old vinyl and play that scratchy old 49 year old LP relentlessly. Group was formed a few years more ago in Alpena, MI. We loved 'em here, and though I'm just posting the one song that the TV ad got it's "sample" from, the whole LP is a rich source of DICK WAGNER roots shredding.

Danzilla Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 In light of this week's horrific events, and a further disappointment that I'm missing Marillion's US tour dates this week, I give you two from them that address the need for peace and love. One newer; one older: Living in Fear ... it's a challenge to change your heart [video:youtube] A Few Words for the Dead ...or you could love [video:youtube] I hope this doesn't get deleted for being too political.

whitefang Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Josh White had long been a favorite "old time" bluesman, I was surprised and delighted that his son, JOSH WHITE JR. would often appear on a local children's TV show called "Hot Fudge"(my kids loved that show) with local folksinger RON CODEN, and sounded pretty good that I went to the local record store and found his album "Sing A Rainbow". I long ago lost track of it and recently when talking to one of my daughters found out SHE had it all along! She promised to "burn" a CD of it for me.

Eric Iverson Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I listen to the radio a lot, and happened to hear Patti Smith do a great version of George Harrison's "Within You Without You" from Sgt. Pepper, leading me to also check out other versions - Jimmy Herring does a really good guitar instrumental version - he's a very hot fusion guy. I may buy Patti Smith's "12" which includes that tune. Forgive me for not including the You Tube clip - I don't know how to do that, though one of you was kind enough to try and explain it, LOL. But those interested can easily hear either version on You Tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Fraser Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 What a lovely version of George's song. Great to hear chord changes added to the drone. I've been puzzling over how to spend an iTunes gift card I received for Christmas, & I now know this will now be part of the purchase. Thanks, Eric!

Danzilla Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Give it Everything You Got - Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart Say what you want about Joe, but he and Beth work sell together. He rocks out the wah pedal here. Great horn section, too; they even give some love to the bass player with a little fuzzed-out solo from Michael Rhodes. And Beth - well, she's doing what the song title says.
