As do I. In a different piece these same guys show how deadly-dull that same classic can be for the cello: it's essentially four notes over and over....which isn't bad, for what one calls "the one-hit wonder from the 1600s." (I
like that line.)

Good to hear, literally... Excellent selections, breezy and cool... And that bar's relaxed atmosphere is the kind I usually look for, when traveling.

I was a rock-solid Elton John fan through the 1974 Yellow Brick Road tour -- I saw him live at St. John's Arena in Columbus, OH -- but absolutely everything he's done since then has been irredeemable commercial shit. Thanks, Reg Dwight, for 40 years of horrid schlock. Philadelphia Freedom my ass.

I got onto Baldry due to so many others crediting him with helping their careers, including members of the Rolling Stones and of course Elton John himself, who got the John from Baldry while enroute somewhere to a concert and Reg Dwight simply wouldn't do. (I think Elton was after an uncle or other relative.)
Clapton, Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker...damn near half the Atlantic Records line-up for the British Blues Invasion then underway. They all owed Baldry. I was privileged to meet and talk to him a year or so before his death. And the song that I will always treasure from him is this one....
Long John Baldry ... Don't Try To Lay No Boogie-Woogie On The King Of Rock and Roll (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFsCbTZ7eLc#)
Okay, admittedly that one's for Anglophiles.
Here's Baldry (with his amazing voice) and the phenomenal Kathi McDonald (herself no slouch at torch-singin'), in Willie Dixon's "Insane Asylum," on a German TV show. (Baldry told me the soundtrack was literally GIVEN to him, after they aired the show, forming his terrific album Baldry's Night Out). Headphones-wearers will note how fine the audio mix was for this.

Don't get me wrong! I'm not trashing Baldry!
I'm just still mad about the complete collapse of Elton John, who was once my pop/rock idol. After "Yellow Brick Road," Mr. John went commercial in the biggest possible way, even to the point of writing and recording music for Billie Jean King, for Christ's sake. Billie Jean King was the first reason I ever encountered to call a woman a pussy.
TENNIS, man. We're talking TENNIS. BOP, boing... BOP, boing... BOP, boing.
Admitting you're gay is one thing. Adopting tennis as some sort of sporting goal is another thing completely. I can only speculate that he and Billie Jean and Elton's new boyfriend hadn't heard about badminton. Otherwise it would have been... TWINK, TOINK, TWINK, TOINK, TWINK, TOINK, until we all died of mediocrity.
I liked Bernie Taupin for a while. He at least could handle a receding hairline, and he liked girls.

Madman Across the Water was the last Elton John album that I bought. His lifestyle was the reason.

Madman Across the Water was certainly his best early work. (I think I bought it just for "Tiny Dancer.") Just three years later, he toured for
Yellow Brick Road -- that's when I saw him live in Columbus -- and I think that two-disc set was his high mark. For sure, the quality of the music plunged afterward, going from soft rock to cellulite schlock. It has not recovered.
Actually, his "lifestyle," meaning his bisexual/gay proclivities, didn't become public knowledge until around 1976, when he admitted the bi part in a Rolling Stone interview. See, you could have enjoyed two years of seriously good EJ before you got bummed out, had you scooted yourself down to the record store and ponied up for YBR when it came out. God, I remember listening to the title song, wondering what had gotten into the man to make him compose such an intensely pretty but unforgivingly gymnastic melody line. The nostalgia (Brit-style) of "Roy Rogers." And falling asleep to "Harmony."

GYBR is fantastic. Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding almost ruins it though, sadly - it's so amazing that the whole rest of the album pales in comparison.
It's sort of his White Album, he does everything...they even have that Jamaica Jerk-Off novelty thing.

The rumors had gone global by the time "Tiny Dancer" became a hit. It was absolutely no surprise when he did fess up.

I saw him do Augalung and Thick as a Brick. Hes a good story teller. A few years ago we saw him in Chicago, As much as I like his way, I found his concert rather sleepy. We were rather dismayed . It was nice to hear him, but the mostly all dialog, yea notsamuch.

I can see your point but think it
MAY be due to Red Elvises being primarily a club band (with some major venue exceptions). Drummers in clubs do tend to go heavier than they need to be. "Thrash" and other neo-punk groups
ALL go heavy on drums. Red Elvises clearly has roots in that camp.

Depends on one's music tastes, admittedly, but the power of music to incite imagination has never been better from surprising and heretofore unknown sources.
I'm finding a huge niche of epic music is out there, but not all of it is pure-dee blood-and-thunder Conan-Barbarian stuff (in the Basil Poledoris vein). Some epic music is surprisingly introspective, and, yes, inciting. It gets me off my duff to DO things. (That, son, is

If this brilliant young man does not go into full-fledged movie scoring and SOUNDLY kick Hans Zimmer's ass, I will be hugely surprised....

Interesting that you point out that part of the lyric.
A friend of mine passed away a couple of months ago. In her last days she turned this song into a personal hymn to God. The lyrics fit perfectly for our relationship to God!

I think it's funny how they have a picture of Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit on here, because I'm also active on a Limp Bizkit forum, but that's the only other one. I grew up listening to them, and met them when I was 15.

Excellent tune. I've heard of the Bone Conduction
show but not Thayrone, unless the name slipped by me. A lot of the 60's/70's Detroit rock-acts followed Nugent & Mark Farner's (Grand Funk Railroad) lead and simply adopted

Hell, I thought that very thing when Iggy Pop showed up as an alien on a Star Trek show. :lol:
My wife and I both listened to him until WEMU caved in to NPR and canned him rather than try to work out a compromise. (So much for "locally funded stations.") Thayrone did put out a CD of a typical show, and a bonus disk with a few of his more modern tunes like "I Ain't Got No Job!" but neither Amazon or Youtube appears to have them.

What it really amounted to was partisan politics.
Thayrone was openly conservative using lines like "the People's Republic of Ann Arbor," and so on. He's appeared many times on conservative talk radio Ann Arbor station WAAM, and is not exactly shy about getting into a liberal's face.
At the mike at WEMU, he had rock-solid taste in music selections and a fully-loaded closet of shtick to lay on the listeners...but he also had leftist NPR on his case, demanding WEMU carry
ALL scheduled news broadcasts. To simplify, Thayrone lost.
Here's a 2010 speech he made in Ann Arbor on the U of M Diag (center of campus). It's about the Tea Party, the Democrats, and what we can and should do about fixing what liberals broke.

I can see what you mean about Guess Who similarities, particularly in the "advanced garage-band" sound they did in this song below. (Primitive drumming, not-too-tricky chord changes, and yet VERY effective overall, something the average two-singer band could rip off without much trouble.)

Back about 1969 or '70, the Brit rockers like Clapton and Cocker were over here supporting some homegrown talent that many folks only recognize in hindsight for their greatness. Although Bonnie Bramlett (like Janis Joplin) did not have a GOOD singing voice, like today's Edie Brickell she did have a raw intense PERSONAL grasp on the material.
Here's a frankly marginal recording with one brief muffled spot where somebody shifted a microphone, but it's easily the best sing-along song I ever heard from the days of the folk rockers. It's the classic "Going Down the Road Feeling Bad," with Duane Allman on guitar.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAtS-T7H1J8
The original version on disc is here. It's a great introduction to a short-lived partnership. "Lay Down My Burden" is simply amazing, as many times as I've heard it.

I was on the fringes of that UK/southern-US hard-blues country-traveling niche. Mostly, Leon Russell for a short time. I saw The Allman Brothers, with Duane (Cowboy was their warmup-band). But in my mind, I began to realize that the songwriting for all of it began lagging.
I never got into Edie. Because I was usually listening to Windsor's CJOM avant-garde stuff. She sounds pretty-good though.
I also saw Ike & Tina. Unforgettable. Ike's wooden stage-presence was unforgettable for the wrong reason, as later explained by Tina in her bio.

All this early folk and folk rock should rightly include the sometimes bawdy, always-outrageous and truly powerful-equals-LOUD 1960s songstress, Judy Henske. Fortunately this has the full intro, itself hilarious (and true) about folk music itself, and a great final payoff stanza.

I listened to about 25-minutes of it so far. I need to be hearing it in an environment I'm unfamiliar with so the 2 can interact.
I couldn't find just the first song separately. Sorry 'bout that.
Here's another, far more direct, done by the guy who influenced Bob Dylan and almost every other first-generation folk singer.
I was privileged to spend an hour chatting with Ramblin' Jack Elliot in Ann Arbor a few years back, and after I quit smoking it's one of the funnier songs out there for me. He and Dave van Ronk over WBZ Boston in the mid-60s were two of my early faves.

I bought the LP which is shown above and recommend it for several early (pre-commercial) folk songs. Theodore Bikel "The Rising of the Moon" for example is terrific, and many more.
Here's Doc Watson...and then Mississippi John Hurt. And more.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeiXnyvo0d4&list=PLw9LHJQG82Hnv_kzvBoPTV1-hA7c8X6UF
Same song by Bikel, just a different album.

Great renditions, though the second is a Celtic land-based rallying-shanty (chanty).
I saw Watson in Greeley, Colorado... in the early 70's. Stoic, palpable, and not without humor.
I never got-into Bikel that much. He seemed kinda Burl Ives-ish.

I got that recording on a limited-edition CD that Jo-Jo Schutte McGregor authorized a few years ago. Written by a Canadian newsman and read by McGregor (then news director at CKLW-AM, the most powerful AM station in North America), it remains one of the very best statements from our longtime northern friends and neighbors.

This one's "Wrong Side of Heaven," by a group calling itself Five Finger Death Punch, and it is a very loud song on how military vets are treated in America. This is Grade-A material, once you get past the volume.

I can think of a dozen sound-alike girl groups from the 60s, and even back into the 40s with the Boswells, and Andrews, Sisters ruling that roost. But in point of fact the packaging of musical stars is nothing new...and talent has the least to do with it. Examples begin with the Disney studios and the way they completely reinvent (and totally mess up) their juvenile stars.
Let's face it. The hotter the girl, the greater the male audience. Lindsay Stirling is a terrific violinist, but without her brazenly good looks, would she be nearly as popular? Video makes the stars these days. The Buggles were right. Video killed the radio star.

More likely it was an RCA-77DX studio microphone and a really good audio engineer who understood microphone placement. Live orchestras also helped. Today's studio dweebs think every channel and instrument has to be equal volume. (Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" it ain't.)

Actually, I was wrong. The 77-DX was the classic "Old Time Radio" studio microphone, either on a boom for multiple speakers or (more usually) a pedestal base for desktop use. It had a warm sound that later microphones often lacked, even in the analog era. I mentioned it because the American Forces Radio & Television Service had a dozen of them at their headquarters studio in Tokyo, where I worked. It's a truly sweet sound from one of these.

Nowadays the Shure SM57 or SM58 will probably be most common for live-performances and narration.

Why do you come to an American web site, to post videos of things Americans aren't interested in?
A song called "Touch My Knees" from a Serbian pop-rock group "Zana", recorded in 1982. An interesting fact is that they have named their group after their first singer, Zana Nimani, who is an Albanian born in Belgrade. This is certainly one of the all time favorite pop-rock songs in Serbia. It was allegedly sampled from ABBA's "Lay All Your Love on Me" (1981). Although the main melody seems copied, refrains are completely different. Incidentally, they have recorded all of the songs from that album in Sweden. I have heard, when the idea for the song was presented to the singer, she asked: "Why are you giving me this sirtaki, this will never succeed?" But during the recording, she liked it, and the song became one of the greatest hits. I have also heard that her father disowned her because of this song, but she bought him a house after. The group Zana still exists today with their fourth singer, but their best period was in the beginning.

This song still touches me when I listen to it, and I am posting it just to see what other people think and feel of it, do we have the same sentiments or very different. I will try to offer a translation.

Most Americans speak only English and perhaps a second language (from their homeland or parents' homeland). It is particularly suspect during political years for anyone to post anything not in English, for that reason. What the image says and the lyrics say may not always be the same thing. This can harm the web site's reputation if a second-language attack is launched and management here can't catch it.
I hope this one's not suspicious, especially when it's elections year. :wink: It's message is surely better than the song or the video. The truth is that a civilization is spoiled and weakened by it's luxuries. That is a proven historical pattern. If you want to spoil and weaken a society - provide them with lots of luxuries. Please do notice - not spoiled by the wealth, as commies would claim - but spoiled by the luxuries. It is great to be wealthy, but not to invest in luxuries which will destroy you, but to invest in more liberty for you and your children. To make more children, to invest in their proper education, in weapons and ammo, to donate to the Church, to the poor, to the culture. To invest in things which will make the society stronger. That is what I would do if I was wealthy.

Regardless, this is one very talented group, granted, a very small audience, but the more you watch, more of the genius is comes through.
Some songs are absolutely timeless even after centuries.... Rock on, Johann Sebastian Bach! I Love this tune, and for a live (evidently bedroom studio) video accompanying a prerecorded drum and organ track, it's WAY above-average.

Yeah, I always liked his music, despite his being a product for the 60s female market, he has a deep rich voice unique for the time.
Granted he didn't write the song, the words tell a story of a different time when getting a divorce as a woman required the husband's permission to leave the marriage.

Yes, ok, I was just joking, trying to make a comparison, as what if someone today sang about his romantic gay company during night, it would have had completely different meaning, because the modern society has lost most of innocence and decency.

I remember when the song first came out and a bunch of us kids sat around trying to figure out WTF the song meant.
Of course our minds went to a big breasted lactating woman. :woot:
You're right, today's kids would most likely go down the gay road. Believe me, when I heard his interview, I was a bit surprised, because I hadn't thought about it's meaning in decades and instantly got a chuckle thinking back to how ludicrous our scenario was.

Ha ha ha, that was my first thought on the song, too. :cool: But the song appears to be much more innocent. A lost love, a less milk needed from the morning milkman, um alright then, it does make a perfect sense. :mellow: Kind of sad, actually. :sad: I can imagine the first chill of a lonesome cool fall dawn just before the sunrise, a calm silent street in a suburb, someone steps on the street are heard as he's rushing for the first morning bus to get to work, the smell of the falling foliage mixed with smog and the smell of the milk from the half empty bottle...
Here's another one I often hear on the radio. I listen to a radio station called "Nostalgia", and they play a mix of the cool old music and some modern crap, they need it probably to gain more listeners. When I hear something I like, I try to figure out the lyrics and then find the song on You Tube. But when it's just a tune, like "Take Five", it's impossible to discover it. Maybe I could if I used some smart phone, there is an application called "Shazam", but I like to stick to my regular Nokia.

The river Danube has been an inspiration for more than just one waltz.
(https://conservativepoliticalforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.johann-strauss.org.uk%2FFiles%2FImage%2Fivanovici.jpg&hash=9125682dbad652cc3ec27ed6a9368dde763c1848)
Jovan Ivanović/Josef Ivanovich/Ion Ivanovici (1845-1902) was an ethnic Serb born near the town of Timișoara, which was then in the Austrian Empire, and it's in the modern day Romania. He joined a military music band, toured the country, then moved to the city of Bucharest, Romania, and started composing musical pieces. Today, he is known only for his waltz "The Waves of the Danube" (1880), but he wrote over 350 dance pieces and marches and his works were published by no less than 60 publishing houses around the world. He won the coveted march prize to mark the World Exhibition in Paris in 1889 out of 116 entries by other outstanding composers of the time.
Ivanović had a desire to establish a senior music school in Belgrade, Serbia, but when he addressed the authorities to fund his idea, Serbian King Milan rejected him, saying: "We don't have any budget for music, we must build up a standing army." So, Ivanović remained in Bucharest, where he had good conditions for his work, and now he is known as a Romanian composer. He later said: "There, I, as a Serb who loves his people, am going into a foreign country, being unable to work where my holy duty orders me. And, as you may see, I am achieving a success here which is being praised." My heart is bleeding when I read "The Waves of the Danube" is a Romanian composition.
In the United States, the waltz is also known as "The Anniversary Song", a title given by Al Jolson, when he and Saul Chaplin released an adaptation of the opening theme of the waltz in 1946 with lyrics added, for the movie "The Jolson Story".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VcQVNw2w78
And here is the original composition.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLyfeTD0b7w
I have been attending a dancing school shortly, for a period of four months, and had a chance to dance slow waltz. It's like dancing a dream, round and round and round, truly amazing. In the school, they were forcing Latin dances because of being popular, but Latin dances don't allow you to come even close to your partner. In waltz, you really grab your partner, but it's very difficult, you must know exactly what you are doing, in order not to trample her all over. You need to practice it every day in order to dance it just well enough. And I couldn't imagine dancing Vienna waltz, which has much faster pace than slow waltz. Waltz was a rock'n'roll of its time, back then when it was invented.

Almost fifty years ago, in Japan, I was introduced to the newly-emerging world of electronic music, particularly this sweet, haunting song, "In the Heart of a Rose." Its creator, Jean-Jacques Perrey, died Nov. 4 in Switzerland, at age 87. RIP, m'sieur.

After a number of prominent (and not-so-prominent) musical types all turned down an offer to perform at Trump's inauguration, one young singer named Jackie Evancho stepped up and will sing the National Anthem.
Here's another patriotic tune, also by Miss Evancho...who surprisingly has seen her album sales skyrocket after Trump's announcement. For that, try here....

Do we have a list? Maybe we should turn down purchasing their CD?
Since I have highjacked this topic :cool:, here is another one of my favorites. A Montenegrin actress sings in a Serbian TV series about the Bosnian Jews. :thumbup: I can't claim this is the best version ever, but for me the favorite one for sure, and also a great singing for an actress. :wub:
