Music Night, October 28, 2011

Posted on October 28, 2011 by gummitch

I was more than a little shocked to learn that Tower of Power was celebrating 43 years performing (continuously), mostly because the first time I saw them they’d been together about a year. (And on a personal note, one of the finest women I ever loved, who never should have gotten away, had previously been lovers with one of the horn players — right up until she learned he was married. Cad.) There are likely hundreds of taped performances worth presenting, but I thought this one was particularly timely. And keep in mind, the song was originally released in 1975.

I saw Tower of Power – they opened for Tom Jones in portland a few years ago.

Here’s who I’m seeing tomorrow night (along with Thin Lizzy)

And my last for a while –

I think it might be time for Batshit to start lobbying for the Veep spot. She could really help rehabilitate the cultist by bringing the Fundies to Mitt. Here’s how Batshit might sing about it – Waterloo, Abba .

Phew, those were the days, those were two pretty girls and those were the outfits!

  Equating Batshit with ABBA is like…wrong. Shelly wishes she ever had any kind of popularity even close to ABBA’s. And only weirdos liked ABBA.

Well, per the discussion over on the other thread… this seems appropriate to post.

Roll Um Easy was where I derived my CB handle in the 70s, Vagabond.

Don’t know about the other male Critters and Zoosters, I suspect some are quiet and gentle. Some are a bit loud and blatant. None are immune to the ladies of song. Or ladies in general. Some are like me, rude, crude and socially unacceptable just because. Others have gotten past that childishness. It does make for a good mix. Just as Jimmy Buffet isn’t just Margaritaville

Odd how the northern groups and philosophies in Europe come up cold. Their music tends to be powerful but not on a personal basis. The music from the warmer climes is less harsh and the further south one goes, the warmer the music becomes.

Norway has no samba.

What is your song? What song tells your tale? Which song do you relate to as the one most definitive of just who you are? Some of my old friends tell me it is “Still the Same” from Bob Seger. Another group would say “Angel Eyes“

        The basic message of the song is, “the blues overtook me when I was a little child, and fast women and whiskey drive this poor boy wild.”
        
        hoodathunk on October 28, 2011 at 6:53 pm said:
        
        Interesting. I would say that the blues didn’t overtake me until I was an old man and fast women and whiskey are my solace.

    Nwoldguy, i never heard of it before, but I like it. That’s the good thing about Music Night. Very much like bar hopping you trawl through youtube starting in all the known places and it takes you to meet old friends, total strangers and sometimes new friends who introduce you to yet another stranger who may become a friend. I love it. I just wonder where all the action is tonight? Some, imho make a Cardinal mistake, by not being here

    Birdsong. Shit this Ipad doesn’t do what I want. Link is working for me though. I guess I give up and have another nap. It’s all I seem to be able to do insomniac me.
