The Outpost Cafe / Re: Burton Cummings makes a stunning move

I think Burton Cummings has one of the more distinctive voices in music.  As it happens, I once worked at a radio station in Idaho where his cousin Gary was the program director.

 It's my fault  :-*

I think you're right. Once you've seen Mark, who's brave enough to compete??   8)

I think the news of his death landed with a thud. No outpourings of anything except re-caps of his murder trial and later criminal conviction for the Las Vegas inciudent.

The Battle Over Classic Rock Band the Guess Who Just Went Nuclear

Very interesting - we just got tickets to a concert series in Fort Collins this summer, and the band Guess Who is one of the concerts.

Seriously, with its catchy, uplifting, yet minimalist hook it is very American in a good way. You guys excel at joyful music.



Thank a fella named J.P. Sousa. One of the most brilliant march composers in history. Practically every march he ever wrote is an earworm. Marches may be out of favor as popular music, but every 4th you will find large crowds savoring every note, and his marches play continually with fireworks displays.

Respect for the Frogman.  He was one of the old guard.

Great tune that Haggard makes really believable. Love that one.

I watched some Reaction videos on YouTube. Pretty interesting to see how females responded to the Righteous Brothers Unchained Melody and Sound and Inspiration - they all melted.  Those boys did it right; one rapper could not believe they were white!

The Moody Blues got great reactions too.

It was interesting to see rappers and younger people react to the Doors...and the difference between tunes like Light My Fire and darker stuff like L.A. Woman with the growled "Mr. Mojo Rising"...which was an angram from Jim Morrison's name.

Kinda fun. But it was good to see that the greats consistently come across as great.

I was tempted to start a channel with reactions of an old white guy to rap and hip hop. But nobody would be interested.

Looks to me like someone in design found a leftover box of specially treated sugar cubes from the 60s and has been using them in their coffee.

Gibson Basses / Re: Cleanest 1969 EB-3 at Norm's (+demo)

My only entry into Gibsonage is my 64 EB-0.  Nice light bass, easy and fun to play. Not sure if it's worth much with an added pickup and a repaired headstock, but it's a nice bass.

Yesterday we were having a beer by the lake in our neighborhood here in Colorado. The ice just melted off it about a week ago. Our neighbors' son is in college in NY and was visiting, along with his girlfriend from Florida.

They were shoving off on a little flat-bottomed party boat with the help of the father.  We were sitting about 30 feet away, and I clearly heard her ask "Are there alligators?".  I could not muffle my laugh quickly enough.

Florida.
