Say what? Couldn't find either word in my Funk & Wagnels, even the Middle Ages edition. Did anyone ever listen to Herbie Mann? Always a great jazz floutist(look that one up), but he did a couple albums worth of'70s pop music arrangements that were great.
Calling him on his word usage, you oughtta be able to spell Wagenellie right. 😜
I always told my daughter that she would be on to something if she could play her flute while balancing on one foot.

I suspect that is a joke based on the wink but it went right over my head.Not even Blowin' in the Wind?
Just that it was part of his early folk heritage,(which you said you listened to) before he went 'electric'. It was considered to be one of the most popular traditional folk songs out there. I figured you likely meant modern folk, not traditional though. Things like "Fade Into You' and "Into Dust' by Mazzy Star.(Love Mazzy/Hope, grace and elegance.)
Yes I made up two words today. Highlight of my week so far!
SRV and Hendrix are definitely two on Mount Rushmore. I put Mark Knopfler and John Frusciante there as well.
The BOK was about 70/75% full. Most of the empty seats were backstage. And now I know what a 40 year reunion looks like - a $@!&load of old people.
Was there a game tonight? I haven’t went to many since the CBI season. I spent 16 years coaching youth ball, which was just about enough basketball for me. Never got back into the habit of attending Tulsa basketball.
But always welcome. Glad to see another blues lover. I prefer Johnny Lang's guitar & vocals over Kenny Wayne Shepard, but both are great (white boy) blues artists. A couple more great caucasian blues guitarists are, of course SRV, and Eric Clapton. While I can take or leave EC's guitar playing, the last 20 years or so I would much rather hear him sing...a great voice that has mellowed into something special.
Aston popped up on here too, also welcome. I see this guy's name and my 1st thought is always The Yardbirds. Was there ever a rock group that had better guitarists, one after the other, than Clapton , Beck & Page? I don't think so. Did anyone ever see a very strange movie called "Blow UP"? The only thing I liked about it was the Yardbirds' "Train Kept a Rollin" in the soundtrack. It rocked very, very hard.
Ah! the Frenchies, God Love 'em. They'll take a day off & hit the streets in the millions for any little thing. One might say that the real "day the music died" was when Miles Davis & SRV passed. Both giants of music. And speaking of France, Jim Morrison of the Doors, a group I absolutely loved, after OD'ing on the hard stuff, is buried in Paris at the Pere La chaise cemetary and his gravesite is visited every day since.
Come on G$, you know better. For example, last week, an estimated 1 million hit the streets after Pres. Macron dared to suggest raising the retirement age from 62. Ha! I've seen school kids, adults, truckers...you name it, in the streets either celebrating something or mostly for political stuff that made them mad. And while not necessarily violent, they always manage to shut the country down for a while.
I thought you wanted to start this thread for a respite from politics and TU basketball. I am talking specifically about the day after a musician died. And I am talking from first hand knowledge. I was there to see that there wasn't people in the streets. The party wasn't in the streets, it was in the gardens & LR's. Their might have been a few street parties in Paris, but nothing major.
I’ve actually been to the Surf Ballroom in the tiny town of Clear Lake Iowa, the site of the final performance by the Crickets.
Interesting, did you ever get a chance to interact with him? He had an estranged relationship with them to be sure. But that was poetic as much as it was reality. That entire line was taken out of story of Oedipus Rex.(sex w/ mother included)
Yes, I had to meet with him when I got promoted from 3rd class Petty Officer to 2nd Class P.O. He gave me a chevron with an extra stripe and a certificate and we visited a little. Seemed like a nice enough guy, but I didn't dare mention that I really liked his son's r&r group.
Richie Valens (La Bamba) and The Big Bopper(Chantilly Lace) were kind of one-hit wonders but I liked them both. But Buddy Holley's music is immortal. And just like The Rascals and Felix Cavaliere, millions of black music lovers thought he & they were black artists. That portrayal of the band in NYC at the Apollo Theater in Harlem really happened. The all Black audience went silent when these 3 white boys came on stage. Three tunes later, the audience was going crazy and dancing in the aisles.
And she was joined by Gailard's buddy Sherman Oaks (Jim Millaway) who was married to my cousin at the time.
It might take most of a half-pint to listen to that voice. On the other hand, he might be the GOAT of songwriters.
His voice is precisely why I’m not a fan. I do agree his lyrics are undeniably good.
I always joked that Dylan’s style of singing makes it easy for anyone else to ‘sing’ along with him. It’s almost like folk rap.
Sherman Oaks was kind of the show's "straight man". Although he could not help laughing all the time himself. he's the guy who set up S. Artain's and Busey's craziness.
I seem to recall that he and Gailard also did some writing for TV shows in the 80s.
