I've never seen them live but really love their music. Too often these days the lyrics of songs seem rather empty to me. When I used to sing in bands I was the singer of a band called Jack Schidt. And yes, our bumper stickers said "I know Jack Schidt". We covered both Alive by Pearl Jam as well as Round Here by Counting Crows. We covered a large range of Music from Freddie King to Pearl Jam as well as some originals. It was a lot of fun.

I found that video a few years ago and was blown away! They were my first favorite band and my first concert. The quality of this video is amazing for the time period.

Okay, yet another link to Robbie Robertson. This is a song that Joni Mitchell wrote about her friend David Geffen on a trip to Paris with Robertson and his wife.
The way I see it he said You just can't win it Everybody's in it for their own gain You can't please 'em all There's always somebody calling you down I do my best And I do good business There's a lot of people asking for my time They're trying to get ahead They're trying to be a good friend of mine
I was a free man in Paris I felt unfettered and alive There was nobody calling me up for favors And no one's future to decide You know I'd go back there tomorrow But for the work I've taken on Stoking the star maker machinery Behind the popular song
I deal in dreamers And telephone screamers Lately I wonder what I do it for If l had my way I'd just walk through those doors And wander Down the Champs Elysées * Going cafe to cabaret Thinking how I'll feel when I find That very good friend of mine
I was a free man in Paris I felt unfettered and alive Nobody was calling me up for favors No one's future to decide You know I'd go back there tomorrow But for the work I've taken on Stoking the star maker machinery Behind the popular song

“I wrote that in Paris for David Geffen [president of Asylum Records], taking a lot of it from the things he said…Another song about show business and the pressures. He didn’t like it at the time. He begged me to take it off the record. I think he felt uncomfortable being shown in that light.”
I love a song with a good story.

"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
When the Doors first hit the scene. I was going to MiraCosta Junior college in Oceanside. Ca.
I had a job where I worked at night by myself for Rain Soft Water. A company that provided soft water filter tanks to homes. It was a brutally hard physical job. But I had a radio that I played the whole time. They would play the Doors all night.
Not that it's a favorite, buy wife and I took our now almost routine 1 mile golf cart ride again tonight. This came up on her phone and whatever speaker we have in the cart.
Thought I would come back to this. One time Pit was asking about outlaw country. Outlaw being country music of sorts mixed with anything from rock, soul, blues, whatever. I like that sound as well.
I really like this guy. He is a little on the rocker sound.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
This woman if fantastic. Her music is all over the board, but she incoporates some classic county sound with soul in addition to pop. Very talented on many levels. She just has the pipes for any music style.

Quincy Jones is one of the greatest names in all of music. Dude worked w/Frank Sinatra. He was a voice in jazz, but not the voice. He expanded into many different areas of music and worked w/the biggest names in music. In 1981, he released the album entitled The Dude. It was a wonderful mixture of jazz, latin music, soul, pop, and even ballads. Quincy always was in-tune w/new sounds in music. Check out the proto-rap title cut of the album: The Dude.
That is the way of things. But for all of those who never look to the past. I feel sorry for what is there to be seen and heard that most likely will not be.
I just had this come up in conversation recently... Iz's version is very popular these days, and it really is nothing short of truly great, but to me you just can't beat Satchmo's version.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.
