my own turntable, in my own bedroom, when I was just but a wee lad(holding my hand about 3 feet above the floor), before I ever went to any fucked up schools. It was a childs plastic portable turntable. Real cheap but functional and sturdy. It had a handle and I used to carry it around with me. I had a whole stack'a kids 45s I used to listen to all the time.

Same here. I can still remember playing my dad's Beatles 45's on that thing. It was grey, black handle, speakers that attached on the sides with hinges. I eventually accumulated a lot of my own 45s, just songs that I'd hear on the radio and want to have to listen to.. "Swamp Witch" had to be one of my favorites of that stack.

I had that one on 45 as a kid, Jim Stafford, right?  Another 6year old RTP (I was so cute then, the horns had just sprouted.....) fave was "Convoy" by CW McCall.

Just listened to Coltrane again.  _A Love Supreme.  Yeah.  It's Tough.  Pursuance.  2nd time I listened to it.

I see your Coltrane now.  So I actually went out and bought this shit brand new!!  So as I'm listenin' to it and rollin one up I'm thinkin' about the board 'n' all...

Frod knows the 1972 Yes record I've got right here.  Recorded on the 1972 tour.  So yeah, I think it's all live.  I'll have to listen to it again as well...

The Coltrane was cool though...Part 3_'Pursuance' got my attention in particular.  A lot of things come to mind... How things are related...how divisions are created...how one thing becomes another...the drum heads become bass strings that vibrate the air and are felt on the drum of the ear... all sound is a vibration in the air...

I got that other Monk and Coltrane on now_At Carnegie Hall...

You should check out the CTI Summer Jazz series.  I'm tellin' ya.  George Benson, Milt Jackson(vibraphonist from Modern Jazz Quartet), Freddie Hubbard(trumpet) and Grover Washington jr.(sax). with others.  Recorded live at the Hollywood Bowl.  Doin "Inner City Blues/What's Goin' On" by Marvin Gaye and "California Dreamin".  There are no vocals.  George Benson s guitar does the singin'...    

I don't know...like '76 or something... 'cause 'member we were talkin' bout the difference between Coltrane and Benson an'such...I was sayin Coltrane was too spacey... but I hadn't heard _A Love Supreme yet, when I wrote that.  

I'll see if I can get a link up for ya or somthin.

O F&*%.  I fail at the internet.  I can't find a good link(I'm not really tryin' that hard but I know where all this will lead).

You have to just take it upon yourself to find CTI Summer Jazz (series), "Live One At the Hollywood Bowl" catalog #7076

They are different styles of jazz, but both great.

Yeh, that was Jim Stafford & that had to have been his best song.
I liked Convoy a lot too back in those green years; I recall that I used to 'act out' that song with matchbox cars, etc.  ::alieneyesa::

The soundtrack to Oh Brother Wherefore Art Thou

.

Big Rock Candy Mountain, written and performed by Harry McClintock,  recorded in 1928.  Easily one of the top 100 songs of the century.  I mean, seems like a shoe-in to me.

I'm not familliar with the other stuff.


I heard another song by Harry McClintock, "Halleluia! I'm a Bum!" on the radio a few weeks ago, it was a great old hobo song.  Ol' Harry had soul, yes he did.  Gotta love "Big Rock Candy Mountain", too; the soundtrack to that movie is incredible.  Do you know who did the song the sirens sing to the main characters, and what the song is called?  The one with the line You and me and the Devil makes three.....?  Another great one.

I think you would like Modest Mouse, Pirate, they are amazing musicians, and witty lyricists, that album in particular has a very psychedelic vibe to it.  Good stuff.  White City is good if you're a big Townsend fan, otherwise skip it and get Empty Glass instead, or better still, get the reissue of Live At Leeds by The Who, it has about twice as many songs on it as the original release.

PM me with your email addy and I'll send you that playlist from youtube, the one with all the German psychedlic stuff on it.

Peace

RTP

'Ey!  RTP, what it be ??

Yeah man, 'O Brother',...huh ?!... :lol:

I think you are askin' 'bout "Didn't Leave Nobody But the Baby".  That's sung by Emmy Lou Harris, Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch.  Fuckin beautiful, man.

Hn... What is that song about ... ??  Anyhow ...??  "Go to sleep little babe...You and Me and the Devil makes 3...Didn't leave nobody but the baby..."...  Better listen again. Sounds like death come an' took ever'one but the babe.  And some stranger who happened by is tryin' to settle the lonely sufferin child.  I bet that other Harry McClintock is cool too.

Live At Leeds has been on my list for a while.  I'm not a big solo Townsend fan though.  He's alright.  The Who's bad.  Aint there a "Who Live On the Isle of..." Wight or Man or somethin' ??  That sounds good too.

I don't really know what you mean about sending me the playlist.  I don't see how that will help, as I've already read the post.  You pro'ly think you can just send me a youtube account or something, but see, I'm workin' off this ol' beat up computer that my sis gave me a few years back.  I can't watch any videos or hear any sound.  My emotocons don't even move or nothin.  I'm barely able to post.  Sooner or later this ol' thing 'll just quit altogether.  I guess that's when I'll start hookin' up this other one I got sittin' here.  Anyway, is that what you meant ??

Thanks anyhow.  Are you gonna go find the "Live One At the Hollywood Bowl"  ??

I was hoping you had a youtube acct.  If you can't watch vids on your machine it wouldn't do much good though, would it?  Some cool stuff over  there, hopefully it will stay up and still be accessable when you get a faster computer.

I'll probably go look for that Hollywood Bolw record at a record store a friend of mine owns.  He trades in vinyl and CDs, so a good browse of his stuff would be in order.  Haven't been there in a month or two, either, so I should go there this weekend.

Yep, that was the song I was thinking of from O Brother..., thanks for the info.  I also like the version of "O Death" they used.

I like The Who a lot, I'm a little lukewarm about Townsend solo myself, but there's some cool stuff out there. Just not as .....exciting(?) as The Who.

The Joe Cocker Live CD includes:
Feelin' Alright
Shelter Me
You Can Leave Your Hat On
and a total of 15 songs

It too listened to those kids songs that were mentioned. I have a Jerry Garcia CD called Not For Kids Only and I have a lot of Pete Seeger stuff. My kid met Pete a few times as we are members and volunteers of the environmental group he started called Clearwater. So, my kid likes his music. They sponsor a folk music festival every year.

www.clearwater.org

I have been listening to a CD called Phillip Hole, The Singing Grave Digger. The singer, Rick Nestler, is a friend of mine. We met through Clearwater. Google it for reviews. Our favorite song on this one is Old Woman from Wexford;

"There was an old woman from Wexford,
   In Wexford she did dwell.
She loved her husband dearly,
  but another man twice as well..."

He also sings Rosin the Bow on the CD.

Today I listened to
No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded

I haven't heard much good new stuff lately. Guess I'm getting old.

"Predator" soundtrack

Alice In Chains--Dirt

Some reggae comp with badass, crucial tracks from a lotta obscure artists, some of the highlights were Barrington Levy, Black Uhuru, Pato Banton, and Eek-A-Mouse,.

Mr Bungle--California

Cheap Trick--Heaven Tonight

....I could see that he was loving it/ Because of his expression/I told him "this is sensi/the healing of the nation/in some places doctors use it for herbal medication/and Ronald Reagan smokes it just before he talks on television/after Margaret Thatcher visits him/she brings some back to England /and distributes it equally/throughout the House of Commons/but fun and jokes aside/it gives me deep deep meditation/i fills my heart with niceness/and it gives me inspiration......I do not sniff the coke/I only smoke/Sensimilla".....

Pato Banton, "Don't Sniff Coke"

A good album, but their first one is even better!
