I had the very good fortune to meet Mr. Brown TWICE. I've probably already told those stories here before, likely more than once. Likewise the story of how I lamentably, regrettably, accidentally ALMOST met Mr. Clark, when I unknowingly passed by him in an open doorway while his back was turned my way. Regardless, I loved both of them, and I dearly recall seeing them both on the Hee Haw television show in my early childhood. What master-craftsman musicians, and stand-up, class-act guys. Here's a masterful, speedy rendition of the Duke Ellington classic, "Take The 'A' Train" Want a second helping?

surfergirl Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 My father's uncle, not sure what that makes him to me, went Las Vegas in the late 60's on a tour. Being a degenerate gambler he moved there. The family story is, I can't verify it, is that Roy Clark was playing at the casino he was working at and he wrote Roy Clark's keno tickets. 4 Quote Jennifer S.

Larryz Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I have always loved Roy Clark! Back in the 60's we had a 4 piece High School Ventures band named The Caskets. We played Venture instrumentals music with few exceptions (kind of a tribute band before there were tribute bands). Sometimes there was an overlap with other artists material that covered the same material as our Ventures versions like Santos and Johnny Sleep Walk, Chantays Pipeline, Dick Dale Miserlou, etc. I was not the lead player and only played a few leads. One of the tunes we covered that the Ventures covered (as they did many others like Apache) was Honky Tonk. My buddy gave me this album (see below) so I could learn a few licks from Roy Clark as I had been playing it a few years before we started our little Ventures band. It was my dad's favorite tune and I always had to play it for him when we got together and when he attended any of our gigs. 3 of us still get together these days just to play these old tunes again. Hope you like it! 3 1 Quote Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the Fanny members also contributed to the sessions of Young Americans by David Bowie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sex Pistols had played at a bar here down the street from my Catholic School just a little bit earlier, so they were a buzz here. A year or two later a neighbor kid I hung around was given an album for his birthday by his sister's then-boyfriend -who was the lead singer in the big popular punk/new band in town: "Boy" by U2, and when he put on "I Will Follow" for me the first time I said "hey, that's a cool re-write of that Public Image song!" A few weeks later I saw U2 on The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder... I saw Public Image on there, too... being an insomniac since kindergarten exposed me to some cool rock concert TV viewing! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan May Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 That phase shifter that Ritchie Blackmore is using, is a Schulte Compact Phaser. Tommy Bolin and Jon Lord also used one. There is a clone but it's pretty big and expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p90jr Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 On 10/30/2022 at 1:39 PM, KuruPrionz said: Another interesting fact - Tom Peterson, bassist for Cheap Trick was a very early adapter to "bass as an orchestra all it's own". His 12 string basses have individual pickups for each string and he runs (ran?) a bank of different amps. Geddy Lee and Dug Pinnick both have signature Tech 21 pedals that blend clean and distortion tones for bass and both are very good players but Tom does not get the credit he deserves. He held down both the bass part and a "guitar part" simultaneously, making Cheap Trick sound MUCH bigger live than they would have otherwise. He's been very "endorsement shy" so he's overlooked but I consider him to be far and away one of the greatest rock bassists of all time, a "one of one" player who created a sound and a category all his own. Like Caevan said he prefers to play bass through guitar amps... but here's a nice bit of trivia... On Led Zep's first or second US tour they had a Rickenbacker endorsement deal and were given a bunch of Solid-State Transonic amps to use... Page hated them and quickly started replacing the heads with Fender Bassman or Marshall heads, not bothering to hide the fact as the tour went on... when they were leaving and telling the roadies farewell one of them asked "What do you want us to do with these amps?" The reply was "Throw them in a river somewhere..." One of the guys took them and stuck them in a warehouse... a couple of years later Petersson heard about it and tracked him down and bought some of them, and those are amps he used onstage in Cheap Trick's early days and he still pulls them out from time to time for tours... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had heard songs over the years that I liked but never dove into them but a friend insisted ,y wife and I go see them at the smaller room at the HOB in New Orleans on the tour for their record "Howl," which was the one where they really mined acoustic and blues stuff a bit... it was one of the best shows I've ever seen and I've been a fan ever since. Saw them at 2pm at the Voodoo Fest a year or two later and that's not the setting for them (I think they were about to pass out in their black clothes in the New Orleans heat and humidity, plus half the PA seemed to be out for their set)... I recently got the vinyl reissue of "Howl" which I've been spinning a lot and the vinyl reissue of their first record just cam in so that's been on my turntable a lot.

p90jr Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 Speaking of vinyl reissues... I finally added The Chameleons (UK)'s "Strange Times" from 1986 to my vinyl stash in the form of a new vinyl reissue (sounds great, on colored marbled vinyl)... it always seemed hard to find for a major label release around here, then was too pricey used when the internet geared up, so a cassette copy was all I had and that vanished years ago... This is one of the great forgotten (or never heard enough) new wave bangers of all time... like The Edge jamming with The Smiths with Richard Butler from the Psychedelic Furs on vocals... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
