I log on to put this up, and you beat me to it…I’ll be ack with my 10 in a minute.
getting ready to go to Baltimore.
We were, and the afternoon cafe was moving along slowly, so I kind of let it go for a bit. Thanks for posting this one, though!
I know 3 of the songs and 4 of the group/artist.
My guess for the 4 you know:
Beatles
Janis Joplin
Joan Baez
Charlie Parker
Charlie Parker no, Suzanne Vega yes.
I love Suzanne Vega.
I think she is fantastic. What I don’t understand is why she can’t feed my need by putting out albums more frequently.
Damn her! How could she be so selfish 😉
Oh my goodness, FM! No Charlie Parker?
Slip me your snailmail address, my dear & let me send you something.
I’m located at sylvan1atlocalnetdotcom.
I heard of Charlie Parker, but that’s about all.
Unless I heard it on the radio…..
I can’t count the number of times I would hear one song I liked, buy the album and the rest, nah.
The last CD I bought was that way. I can’t even remember the guy name now, but I liked the song. Bought the CD and only 1 song out of 10 I thought was good. Argggg.
That was about 2 1/2 years ago. 🙂
Yep, that’s how they hook ya. I did quite a bit of that myself as a young’un. A hell of a lot of crappy music was dumped on us that way in the ’70s.
Then I started seeing live shows & dropped the recordings altogether, unless I could tape ’em off the radio.
(Sssh, don’t tell anyone. I think it’s illegal.)
Ah concerts, I remember them well. The last one I went to was back in 89.
Who was it?
And: who was the first?
(Let’s age ourselves properly, shall we?)
First one is easy — Beatles, 1964.
Really! What do you recall?
I understand hearing the music on that tour was somewhat difficult.
Oh I recall it very well and there was no ‘hearing’ the music. And other than a Mott the Hoople/Edgar Winter concert, it was the worst concert I went to — the venue was huge and the sound equipment wasn’t up to it or the screaming fans.
OTOH, waiting to go was one of the most exciting moments of my adolescence.
Egad, I’ll bet! I would’ve loved to go — I was just as fanatical as anyone else.
Too short, though.
1st concert – The Clash in 1984
The last concert – They Might Be Giants just last summer
The Clash in ’84? Excellent!
I bypassed an opportunity to see them at the time.
TMBG played Asheville just before I left town a few years ago. Missed that one too!
The Clash were mega-loud. My ears rang for a week. But it was a great show.
Did you mosh, Toni?
🙂
What about you ww?
I’ve been trying to remember.
Meet me down on the left, if you like.
ok
FM, if you’ve heard bebop jazz — or any manner of jazz recorded since — you’ve heard Charlie Parker.
I know I’ll be pelted with rocks, but I never really got into jazz that much. Some things every now and then, but not a lot. Same with old country music. Never could handle it.
I sort of went from the Lettermen, to soul, to hard rock, to Euro pop, and now I’m just started getting into celtic music.
If I was not on the net it would probably be no new music.
Ah well then, you don’t need to send me your address.
(Note to self: no jazz for FM!)
I think listening to jazz requires a different set of ears than most music does — & replacing one’s own ears can be a tricky process!
I was never much into old time country ’til I moved to Asheville for a while & heard the standards played live. Knew scores of extremely talented musicians down there & they made it sing.
Never heard of her but I feel oddly affectionate toward Laura Love.
she call her style afro-celtic.
Some old and very old music. The sad thing is I don’t even remember some of these songs.
Bat Out Of Hell – Meat Loaf
If She Would Have Been Faithful… – Chicago
It’s Been A Long, Long Time – Charlie Spivak And His Orchestra
Behind The Wall – Tracy Chapman
Sad And Deep As You – Dave Mason
I Can’t Go Home – Robert Cray Band
There Were Roses – Cara Dillon
Good Morning Good Morning – The Beatles
Take Another Look at Your Heart – Bonnie Tyler
Gambler’s Roll – The Allman Brothers Band
Pied Piper – Jethro Tull
Tracy Chapman, my Cleveburg homie. I love her voice.
I liked her ever since her first album.
the one with Fast Car? I really like that song and her voice is so powerful.
That’s the album the song up thread came from. I agree, always one of my favorites.
That’s a 10 song set I would listen to in the car on a drive.
Thanks Jim. I’m looking at my random selections now as my yard work songs. I never use the mp3 otherwise.
Are you getting used to those earbuds?
No they still have me stumped how to keep them in. I took Andi’s advice and took the foam off, but still the same.
I’m beginning to believe there’s some engineer somewhere, laughing his butt off thinking of all the people trying to keep ear buds in.
I gave up on my iPod’s earbuds. I use Sennheiser headphones.
No music, but I thought that I would stick my head in the old FBC two nights in a row. Still grading papers, but I’m trying to be relaxed about the whole thing.
Hi Toni. You relax and take some time for yourself.
I will. I plan on doing a little gardening this weekend.
Well I’m glad to hear that. I’m forming a picture of you and Andrew out in the garden and it looks so sweet.
You enjoy yourself.
(lurking)
Hi KB.
Is it really lurkning if you type it?
(unlurking)
Yes.
(lurking)
Hello KB!
I don’t suppose you’ve considered handing those papers over to Andrew to grade — I’m sure he could get through them really fast.
Ohh, I have considered it. Any paper on which he spits (his newest discovery) fails.
My grading is done until the middle of August.
Actually it was done last Monday so I spent 3 days of teaching without worrying about taking grades. It was a Tommy moment – “I’m Free.”
When did you start school? I’m in until June 9th and that’s really early for us.
We started on August 15. We’ll begin on August 16 this coming school year.
I would rather go later in June and start after Labor Day, but I’m not the philosopher king yet.
August 15th is too early. Any idea why school starts so early for you?
The powers that be want the first semester to end at Xmas break. I have no idea why, but they decided several years ago that we needed to align our calendar with the universities in the area.

What instrument does Mike Gordon play. Can he really keep up with the magic fingers of Leo Kottke?
Mike Gordon is a bassist, with the band Phish.
He has 2 collaborative albums w/ Kottke. the first Clone and the second, from 2005, Sixty-Six Steps, quirky albs by two very talented musicians that play together in quite interesting ways.
Alien Ant Farm’s version of “Smooth Criminal” cracks me up.

I’m getting better.
We’re Blogging Shalom in the Home.
But I can hang out here at the same time.
KB, your link doesn’t seem to work.
I deleted the story. For stupidity.
Lovely selections tonight, folks. Wish I could play! Alas, all I have at random here are books, vinyl & assorted neglected mail.
(lurking)
I’ve yet to say hello, katiebird. I’m a cad.
Hello!
(unlurking) Hi!
How’s the water in your corner of the pond, kb?
I’m sorry I’ve yet to visit your site. I’m trying to curb my OL time, now that I’m supposedly urgently involved in real life.
It’s very, very quiet these days.
well I just disturbed any dust that had the audacity to consider settling around there. I am going to re-commit myself to regular reminders for health, which is what your site was allowing me to do.
HI EVERYONE!!!!
Get your desk cleared so it’s 3 days smooth sailing?
The desk is definitely not cleared but I’m taking the three days regardless.
😀 😀 😀
I saw!! What a thrill. And I answered, too.
{{Manny}}
Hope you have a nice long weekend ahead.
I will, it started last night.
Slacking is something I excell at, but I’m practicing for the Geezerhood. So with that I’ll bid all good night.
Night all.
now that the hockey game is over?
I was playing w/ some more flower photos I took tonight as well.
I’m rooting for not-sabres.
I finished the Alchemist’s Daughter. I liked it, though I have some quibbles (which I won’t mention in case you read it). The writing’s very good — it’s intelligent, evocative, and has emotional depth.
I’m just about to head to bed and wondered if you’d be available to open another cafe if it is needed.
it’s only 8:28!!! 😉
I’ll be around this evening too to help out.
Good night.
hey really great phots o, especially the lady bug porn…. yuk yuk yuk!
🙁
against you if you are lurking at your own blog? I was heartbroken having to do that this week as chaos ensued around the office.
(are you opening up the next one, or should I?)
But seeing as how you’ve got all those great contributers holding down the fort, you’ve got a few leeway days.
And I’m glad you’re week from hell is over.
You can. 🙂 I don’t want to creep anyone out tonight LOL.
yes at the b…. ok for the comment next time…. it’s a little tricky to type and cycle at the same time… still getting the hang of it….
And of course, a weather and site metre nerdess. 🙂
glad FM has gone to bed and won’t see that one!
Have a good night, FM! See you when the sun shines.
Night FM
I’d try the listing thing but short term memory’s full at the moment.
No random music, but do have a random tale…from the same wacko who sent me the brutally funny Touchin’ the Taser, another late night excursion into the bizzaro world of Frank and
The Texas Chili Cook=Off
Enjoy, I ROFLAO’d when I read it…hope the length doesn’t offend, he’s kinda verbose…:{)
Peace
<uncontrollable haw hawing>
That’s pretty damn funny!
if you haven’t read it. I don’t know who this guy is, and my buddy keeps it a secret, but he’s got a bizarre sense of humour.
is always appreciated here, inasfar as it differs from what’s considered ‘serious news’ nowadays.
Thanks, dada.
that the ‘serious news’ is really a bizarre joke…
I vaguely remember being taken to see a group of bands at a large concert venue, because my eldest maternal uncle managed one of the bands & he’d generally invite the entire family to the shows, complete with limos.
So, I saw quite a few bands at once who were popular at the time; I was told I fell asleep for The Doors.
Last concert: not sure — I’ve got vast, gaping holes in my memory from about ’82 to ’97.
Last concert I remember is a show by King Sunny Ade’, master guitarist from Nigeria, in about ’85. Danced like mad.
Slept through the Doors? That was almost my reaction to Oliver Stone’s movie!
As to your moshing inquiry, those are big boys in those mosh pits, so I stayed far away and just stood on my chair.
A wise move — enabling you to be safe & sound here with us today.
As for the Doors movie: what dreck!
It’s time to call it a night. Enjoy yourselves.
I’m slowly on the way out too, Toni.
Have a good night! Kiss the sweet child for me.
come on over for some late night, puppy-dog love at the new lounge.
