I'm certain there are other threads that already have this topic, but I don't feel like searching.  So here goes...

For some reason, several times in the past week, this song has popped up in my world.  The original's a classic, but I really love this version:

I'm always amazed at how I can not hear or think of a song for a long time, then for no particular reason, it starts randomly appearing in my life in unrelated areas.

Not talking about commonplace, well played things. I'm talking about obscure limited interest stuff.

Currently, I'm being harassed by "I Don't Like Mondays" by the Boomtown Rats.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPtu5V3kHTM

Not exactly my thing. It came on a Spotify list the other day. Then, my daughter was investigating Queen's appearance at Live Aid. Sure enough, I walked through while the Rats were performing. Last week, my wife was re-watching "The West Wing". A tragedy occurred, and a soft piano played. Tori Amos started singing her cover of "I Don't Like Mondays".

In a week or so, the Universe will move on to something else.

I recall that song being almost a staple in various TV/movie soundtracks.  I was always okay with it, but never loved it.

Another one that's been creeping up on me lately, is by one of my all-time favorite bands so it's no surprise.

I did think about the words a little more deeply and realized that while it was relevant for the projections on-screen for TV and movies and magazines back in the 70s, it's possible that it's even MORE relevant in our modern era of social media.  Just something I was thinking about...

"I Don't Like Mondays" sadly recounts an incident from the late 70's at Grover Cleveland Elementary school in California. A 16 year old girl, who lived across the street from the school, stepped outside with her father's rifle and started shooting. Killed two adults and injured 9 students. While being interviewed about the crime, she replied, "I don't like Mondays. You know, this sort of livens up the day.".

I kinda stumbled onto this group called Home Free
5 guys and a cross between The Oakridge Boys and a barber shop quartet

Heres another one from them that I really like its a Percy Sledge cover and knocks it out of the park

There are several of those a capela groups out there these days.  

In general, I like what they do, but also, their songs end up all sounding sort of the same too.  I can take them in small doses, I think.

Yes Ive since heard other groups but I like these guys the best

I enjoy finding "unknown" performers and following them as they develop

I like all kinds of music.  I can't think of a single genre where I don't like at least some of it.  The lowest on the list, for me, is likely rap and hip-hop, but there's still a lot of 80s and early 90s rap and hip-hop that I do like.

Consequently I get some weird songs stuck in my head, on a pretty regular basis.

This is the one I'm constantly hearing right now:

Word.  And theater boys too!

High school drama was pretty great.  There were a lot of really hot girls, because obviously they were all going to become famous Hollywood movie stars.  There weren't nearly as many guys, and there were even fewer straight guys.  On a couple of productions, I was the only straight guy in a cast/crew of 30.

Suffice to say, that made for easy pickins.

I've only had one singing role so far, and the joke on that character is that he's a notoriously bad singer. Nailed it!

Ha!  


I wasn't in choir but I sing pretty well and managed to land leads in the musicals.  It pissed off some of the choir guys and honestly I would have loved to have been in choir, but band and drama and advanced computer programming courses took up all of my electives.
Title: Re: OT-- What song's on your mind right now?
Post by: utee94 on February 26, 2021, 08:18:33 PM
As a drama/band/wannabe choir nerd, I grew up loving musicals.  My dad loved them, he had an acting/music scholarship to Lon Morris Junior College in Jacksonville, TX before finishing his degree in RTF at Texas.  Lon Morris is also home to famous actors Tommy Tune and Sandy Duncan, plus country music singer KT Oslin.  My dad knew both Tommy Tune and KT Oslin, though I don't think he ever knew Sandy Duncan.

Anyway, I grew up in a drama/theater/musical loving household, and I too have always found myself drawn to them.  Phantom and Les Mis are probably my all-time favorites, but I love all the old Rodgers and Hammerstein, Cole Porter, Gershwin stuff too.

Anyway, after having ABBA on the brain for most of yesterday and today, I naturally progressed to the musical Chess, because the music for that one was done by ABBA members Benny and Bjorn, and the book by the wonderful Tim Rice.  Murray Head's expansively promoted "One Night In Bangkok" is the most famous song from the musical, but this one is my favorite:

They just dont make musicals worth anything any more

Im not a fan of Hamilton although I did like its subject matter

Musicals can teach you a lot like Fiddler on the Roof and 1776 and to some extent The King and I

Musicals can be funny as hell like Paint Your Wagon

Musicals can be a love story like South Pacific

some musicals Im not a fan of like Flower Drum Song and Brigadoon

but for the most part Im a big fan

Alex is my foundational influence. He never met a cymbal hit he didn't like.
Fortunately, I learned about Stewart Copeland who taught me that subtlety is key.

Alex was pretty tame during the DLR era.  When Sammy came, he just refused to stay off the cymbals for some reason.  It's sometimes quite distracting to me, but there are still some Van Hagar songs that I love, like that one.

As they should be, of course.

Speaking of Jeff Lynne, I always liked this version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." It has him, Tom Petty, and Steve Winwood. It also features some no-name playing the lead guitar outro...

The recordings at Sun Records utilized a subtle trick unique to Sam Philips at the time. The tape had two recording heads separated by just a couple of inches. When the track was laid down, the signal would be recorded twice. Since the signals would be separated on tape, they'd play back just slightly time delayed from each other. The result was an echo-y sound similar to a modern analog delay effect.

It's very obvious in "Whole Lotta Shakin".

Holds a special place in my heart. He was a frequent guest on David Letterman's show. Subbed in as band leader when Paul would be out. When he announced his cancer was terminal, Dave had him back and they devoted the whole show to him. On Dave's request, he ended the show with "Roland". He passed on the next day.

Warren played a small outdoor concert here in this small town - 100,000 people in the county

didn't go well at all.  Sound system was fubar.  He gave it about 3 attempts and then threw a few F bombs into the mic and walked off the stage

a friend of mine and I bumped into him at the hotel bar across the river and hour or so later.  As he says in Poor Poor Pitiful Me, "HE didn't want to talk about it"

short conversation, he headed back up to his suite.

My next door neighbor is a former 80s hair metal band lead singer from New Jersey.  They used to open up for White Lion and their manager was the same manager that Bon Jovi used for many years.

Anyway, he's now just a suburban dad but he still lead sings in an 80s hair metal cover band, and I go to see them pretty regularly.  They're really good, they have a great metal lead guitar player, and their version of Still of the Night is as good as the original.  Not kidding, it's that good.

Might be their best.  They were still pretty raw, not as produced as they'd sound later.  Pyromania was the transition album and is probably my second favorite, and then by Hysteria they'd made the full move to over-production (IMO), but there are still several songs on Hysteria which I love.

I always wanted to love their first, On Through The Night, but it just sounds way too much like Ozzy Osbourne for me.

My i s c & a aggie wife and my kids like that show, so on the occasions when I'm forced to watch, I'm okay as long as there are some decent Penny scenes.

I think the show's hysterical, but it can hit too close to real life sometimes. Part of our Fourth of July hot-dog conversation was degrees of freedom in enzyme conformations.

The show's just too formulaic, predictable, and full of caricatures for me.  I really hate Sheldon and any scene that's going to have him and NOT Penny wearing an interesting top, I turn off or walk away from.

Anyway, music.  I've always liked Men At Work, they're more of a gimmick band than a great band, but they do have one song that I consider to be great, and elevated above the rest of their more amusing, gimmicky stuff:

Love me some old Chicago with the horn section.

We just bought my son his first trumpet, he's decided that's what he wants to play, beginning 6th grade band this Fall.

I've been playing him all sorts of jazz, big band, and rock with horns, to show him what's possible.

https://youtu.be/WX_96uKZ7yQ
Guitar players have "Stairway to Heaven". Drummers have the last 2:00 of "Won't Get Fooled Again". It's the most cathartic way to just unload on a kit. Daltrey screaming, "yeeHAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" over the top just makes it that much better!

Moon the Loon is my spirit animal. He didn't like sitting still. Didn't like the structure of recording sessions. He made albums so he could tour and play like he wanted to.

His best advice to aspiring musicians: "To get a fuller sound and volume, hit your drums harder.". Words to live by.

Did you ever see the movie Elizabethtown?  A little bit of an under the radar romcom kind of movie directed by Cameron Crowe.  I liked it, maybe because I had a big crush on Kirsten Dunst, but this Free Bird scene is awesome.  It really gets kicking at about 1:38.

So she puts in a Lynard Skynyrd tape and goes to Freebird

Yeah I'm okay with that extremely folky sound in small doses.  Like I said, I like the banjo, mandolin, Dobro, and fiddle all together.

But I wouldn't be able to go see an entire live show of it, or listen to a whole album.

I think a lot of it has to do with the way so many of the young females choose to sing, they insert that overly breathy vocal fry all over the place, and after a while it really starts to grate on me.

Does singing pop music with a real southern drawl make it country?

What if you switch out the pop instrumentation and phrasing and replace it with country instrumentation and phrasing?

And then sing it on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry?

Would that then be considered country music?

Allergic to country music?  Come on man, you're from Texas.  And otherwise, you have such broad musical taste.

Surely there's SOME kind of country music you like?  

Alt-country like Old 97s or Wilco or Son Volt?

Rockabilly like Two Tons of Steel?

80s/90s country like Garth Brooks, Randy Travis, George Strait, Clint Black?

Classic country like Willie and Waylon, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash?

Vintage country like George Jones, Buck Owens?

I'll omit modern Bro Country, because if you DO like that, I don't wanna know.

My dad gave me an appreciation for "honky tonk" stuff like Johnny Cash, Kitty Wells, Ernest Tubb, and that era. I might sing Conway Twitty if I've been drinking, or play "Friends in Low Places" if everyone else has.

Other than that, nope. No way. Not ever. I've left a basket of groceries in HEB when they started playing it. It has no soul, no groove, no rhythm, and no funk. White people had to invent the utterly pointless "two-step" dance to avoid standing there with a cup full of sad beer. When that didn't work, "line dancing" was created.

I got stuck in a car when someone played "boot scootin' boogie" once. Had to directly mainline George Clinton for a week just to recover.

I was fortunate enough to see The Ramones play live, well, a whole lot of times. Both with Dee Dee and CJ on bass.
Whatever you think of them, their concerts were a whole other world. They walked on stage to "Good Bad and the Ugly" which transitioned to a quick guitar piece called "Durango 95" (the car from "A Clockwork Orange"). After that, it was nothing but Dee Dee yelling, "1-2-3-4!" and BOOM! The sound hit at 3x the normal tempo and kept going for the next 2 hours.

Johnny would make laps across the stage with his Mosrite guitar, playing nothing but furious downstrokes. Joey, all 6'5" pasty white, would stand in the middle of it all and really never move.

Good, fun times. Ministry, by way of contrast, ran a real risk of permanent injury or death during their shows.

I'm not a huge Ramones fan, they don't have any soul, groove, rhythm, or funk.  Slashing out toneless downstrokes on a battered guitar doesn't constitute music.  Young white people felt the need to come up with some kind of atonal noise to annoy the establishment and especially, their parents, and the result of that, was the Ramones.  When that didn't work, heavy metal was created.

They'd actually agree with you, except for the heavy metal part.

It takes about 30 seconds to tell which song they're playing, since they're almost all variations on "buh-da-buh-da-buh-da-buh-da" in 3 chords. That's unfortunate, because the songs only last 2 1/2 minutes.

It wrecked the 8 minute long saga ballads that ELP and Deep Purple were playing. They had talent. The Ramones didn't.

Heavy Metal was created when Tony Iommi realized he couldn't play Beatles covers with his fingertips cut off.

Sounds like a pop song to me, whether it was recorded in Nashville or Los Angeles.
Nothin' about prison, or trains, or gettin' drunk, or killin' somebody, or gettin' killed, or mama.
No steel guitar.

Denco's is long gone.  In its prime, it was a greasy spoon across from the bus station and featuring bathrooms in shacks attached to the outside of the building.  It closed, was sold, was resurrected as a mid-level red-bricks-and-ferns restaurant, sort of like a Chile's, but still featuring some of the classic Denco's fare.  Then it became a Coach's bar and grill.  Then it was destroyed by fire.

My son has started band in 6th grade, and he decided to play trumpet.  About a month ago we picked up his instrument and he's been SO excited about it, that we've been searching up great trumpet performances from various genres, and watching them online.  In the mornings, he usually finishes getting ready well before his sister, and has an extra 20 minutes or so, which he used to spend playing video games. But now he always asks me to play him some more trumpet music.

This is what we listened to this morning, so in keeping with the Original Topic, this is the song that's on my mind right now...

My son started with the French Horn his sixth grade year. He added jazz band his 7th grade year so he picked up a trumpet as well. Now, going into the 9th grade, his French Horn is now a mellophone for marching purposes.

He came home last year with his trumpet and wanted to know if I'd ever heard a song called "Yoho Comma Bosch". After a few minutes of debate, it was deduced that he was referencing "Oye Como Va". At that point, I took the double bass out of its cradle and started the bass line.

Kid surprised me! He hung in there. Doesn't have the notes perfect yet, but definitely feels the pulse. I'm going to encourage that one!
Title: Re: OT-- What song's on your mind right now?
Post by: utee94 on August 20, 2021, 12:27:59 PM
Oye Como Va was a staple in our Junior High band. 

My daughter picked the French horn despite my warnings and she loves it. She's already better in her 3rd year, than I ever was in the 6 years I played that instrument. The complexity of musical arrangements they're playing in her middle school is as advanced as what we were playing in high school, and the quality of production is better. They take it very seriously while still having a lot of fun at her school.  She's in the top one of the four bands her middle school has, and they travel all over the country and regularly win national awards.

Maybe one of these days I'll start pulling down some horn/trumpet duet sheet music and see if my kids will play together.

In old rock and roll, and country, it was quite common for the singer that popularized a song, not to be the songwriter.  Or sometimes, not to be a songwriter at all.

I think perhaps the "stadium rock band" era changed peoples' perception of what a musical artist was, or should be.  Everyone knew that Led Zeppelin and The Who were writing and performing their own stuff.  So folks sort of extended that expectation to all of music.

But that was never the standard practice in rock and roll, nor country, and in fact it's still quite common in country music to be a singer and not a songwriter.  George Strait is a great example of that.

Heck, they even had to invent a category of artist called "singer-songwriter" to cover the cases where juxtaposition occurred.

That's pretty neat.  I did band in middle school, which was two years in Baton Rouge, and that school's band was kind of like you describe.  They were annually invited to perform at Disney World as part of....something, I don't know what...but at any rate I got a free trip to Florida my 7th grade year out of it, and the band teacher was world class.  Great sound and great production.  Our students dominated the All-District band, representation-wise.  My 8th grade year I moved to UGA and learned that not all middle schools bands are created equal.  It was a noticeable drop.  I haven't always been impressed with other school bands I've checked out either.  Your daughter is probably fortunate to be in a program that's a cut above the usual.

Yeah good point on pop music, I don't listen to much so I didn't even consider it.

About the only pop artist I've really liked in the past decade is Taylor Swift, and she writes the majority of her own stuff, so perhaps there's a reason I actually like her music.

Well sure, but in cases where there are multiple covers, I'm always going to give consideration to the first person to popularize it.

For example, I like Willie Nelson's version of "Crazy" the best, but the general public will always consider it to be a Patsy Cline song, because she's the first one to popularize it.

You had situations like the famous "Brill Building". Just a big place cordoned off into basically cubicles - each containing a couple of chairs, a desk, and a piano. Songwriters sat there and cranked out tunes daily like accountants. The songs would be shopped through whatever group was available.

The idea wasn't to sell recordings (which were not widely available yet). It was meant to sell sheet music. A group would perform it, it'd make the radio, and people would buy the sheet music at the store. As a result, several groups might record the same tune. It didn't matter.

I'm not a real big fan, but I respect The Beatles who were among the first to say, "We wrote some stuff. We're gonna record our own stuff.". Their momentum due to their fame allowed them to really change how an artist related to the music they made.

I have a Patsy Cline CD I really like, greatest hits etc.

It's kind funny, it's slotted next to one by Brahms, who apparently did write his own music.

I also really like the Chopin Etudes.  I once aspired to learn them all, but got about four half done when I had kids.

At the time, or now?  At the time I think most folks understood how the business worked.  Most (all?) of his hits were covers.  Yet in general his versions were either the first to hit the airwaves and gain any popularity, or they simply became more popular than the original version so quickly, that they became Elvis songs.  Even "Blue Suede Shoes" which many consider an Elvis song, was written and performed and charted by Carl Perkins.  I don't think it even ever charted for Elvis, but such is the power of his fame and personality, that the song became linked to him anyway.  Still, I don't think at the time, anyone believed he'd written it.  Because he wrote almost none of his own stuff.

Now, people seem to have different expectations of the music industry.  That was the entire point of my "stadium rock band era" commentary.  And droog is right, the Beatles were one of the early bands to write and perform their own originals.  That sort of led into the stadium rock bands doing it.

ABBA will get a room full of women of a certain age dancing. If they're theatre ladies, that range extends a little further.

That, and "Cell Block Tango" from "Chicago".

The musical Mamma Mia brought a whole new generation of music and theater lovers into the ABBA fold.

Personally I didn't think it was that great, other than the music of course.

I like more music now than I used to.  For a long time I had a pretty specific thing I liked, as far as production, engineering, and certain skill sets within musicianship.  Quite a lot of stuff falls outside that narrow range.  I still "like what I like" the best, but a neat thing came out of a crappy thing that helped me appreciate, and ultimately like, more music. 

Christian music has gotten so god-awful (swidt?) crappy in the past decade+...I mean really new levels of repetitive, redundant, monotonous sameness.  There's literally two songs in modern praise and worship music, the fast one and the slow one.  Bro-country falls into this category too, and I work next to a girl who plays bro-country all day, I believe it is grounds for aggravated assault.  It drives me so crazy that now I like to listen to a lot of stuff that I used to be meh about, just because it's not that, and it's really interesting by comparison. 

So for example, driving home yesterday Paul McCartney's Live and Let Die came on, and that's a song that I used to say "Cool, but not something I seek out and I'd rather change the station or play something I own."  But man is it so much better than what I hear and play at church on Sundays, that I don't mind the sound is old, the drums aren't crisp, the EQ is fuzzy, the music lacks a certain polish I used to not be able to live without.  Fact is, the chords are super interesting compared to the same 4 over and over and over of p&w/bro-country, and the song structure does neat things.  There's a station in Beaumont that plays old CCM stuff from the 70's - 90's, a fair bit of which I used to also not like because I didn't like how the rhythm section played, or I thought some little element was lacking.  Now I enjoy it, along with a lot more, just because I realize how much good stuff there is to focus on. 

When it comes to enjoying music for me, perfect was probably the enemy of very good for a long time.  Thanks to truly craptacular music, I'm free to like a whole lot more stuff that I used to pass on.

My church band was (is) odd. I'm the drummer (80's hair metal). My bass player is my age, but from a heavier metal background. Our lead guitarist is from the 60's - blues and rock.

Which is hilarious because the girl in charge of it all is your piano playing elementary school teacher type. We tried to keep the "Jesus is my boyfriend" songs to a minimum.

When we stopped playing regularly (like 2 years ago), popular Praise music had just become Mumford and Sons style ripoffs. It's ear treacle. Fortunately, David Crowder sort of left a catalog we could fool with.

All that "cool story bro" to say that it's fun when you discover a new vein of music that you'd previously ignored. Myself, I'm learning jazz after a lifetime of finding it pretentious and overblown. I just wasn't grasping the right handles for it.

Oye Como Va was a staple in our Junior High band.

My daughter picked the French horn despite my warnings and she loves it. She's already better in her 3rd year, than I ever was in the 6 years I played that instrument. The complexity of musical arrangements they're playing in her middle school is as advanced as what we were playing in high school, and the quality of production is better. They take it very seriously while still having a lot of fun at her school.  She's in the top one of the four bands her middle school has, and they travel all over the country and regularly win national awards.

Maybe one of these days I'll start pulling down some horn/trumpet duet sheet music and see if my kids will play together.
I always have a bunch of band kids in my AP U.S. History course.  I love 'em!  They are so dedicated and such good time-managers that they do well in my course despite practicing more than the state championship football team does.  Our band won state as well, and I take more pride in that than I do the football championships.

You had situations like the famous "Brill Building". Just a big place cordoned off into basically cubicles - each containing a couple of chairs, a desk, and a piano. Songwriters sat there and cranked out tunes daily like accountants. The songs would be shopped through whatever group was available.

The idea wasn't to sell recordings (which were not widely available yet). It was meant to sell sheet music. A group would perform it, it'd make the radio, and people would buy the sheet music at the store. As a result, several groups might record the same tune. It didn't matter.

I'm not a real big fan, but I respect The Beatles who were among the first to say, "We wrote some stuff. We're gonna record our own stuff.". Their momentum due to their fame allowed them to really change how an artist related to the music they made.
In their early days, Neil Diamond and Carole King worked in the Brill Building it its waning days.
People either love Neil Diamond or hate him, it seems.  My wife and I are Neil Diamond fans.  When he was at his peak, he was writing about 80% of his own music.
This lesser-known one from 1972 has been on my mind lately:

That song was taken from Neil's Hot August Night album.  It was recorded (sadly, not on video) at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles in August 1972.  My then-GF/now-wife saw it in Tulsa two months later.  I think it was Neil's first concert in Tulsa.  It was the same set of songs as are on the album, and it was great.
I too really like the "African Trilogy," off the Tap Root Manuscript album.

My son has started band in 6th grade, and he decided to play trumpet.  About a month ago we picked up his instrument and he's been SO excited about it, that we've been searching up great trumpet performances from various genres, and watching them online.  In the mornings, he usually finishes getting ready well before his sister, and has an extra 20 minutes or so, which he used to spend playing video games. But now he always asks me to play him some more trumpet music.

This is what we listened to this morning, so in keeping with the Original Topic, this is the song that's on my mind right now...

Really, it comes down that I've known too many academic musicians. That is, they wanted to excel at an instrument, so they majored in it. They learned technique and performance. Once they had it all down, they studied "jazz" because it had all sorts of descriptions and charts.

What they never had was any soul. They're technically proficient at an instrument, but their stuff is devoid of feeling.The notes were all there in the correct order, pitch, and time, but it just didn't swing.

Like having your ears unplugged, I had to learn that jazz didn't have to be clinically boring. I was just hearing boring stuff.

A lot of my favorite musicians are people who were trained in jazz, but then applied it elsewhere.  Went on to live in a different world, so to speak. 

My church music is boring now, but at my home church in Louisiana, it was not.  Lot of gospel music, sometimes relatively complicated stuff.  I began to notice at some point that my favorite gospel musicians were guys who were trained not so much in gospel, but in jazz (closely related, tho) and then moved into gospel and brought elements of jazz with them out of habit. 

Another well-known example is Flea of the Chili Peppers.  He grew up woodshedding jazz on the trumpet.  When he got interested in bass and joined a funk rock band, it really worked out for him.  A lot of his best "Flea" moments over the years are just him dipping into his childhood bag of tricks.

It's fun to spy on influences. I tell people my foundations are Keith Moon and Alex Van Halen. Alex never met a cymbal crash he didn't like. As I've learned, I've felt a lot more Stewart Copeland. Stewart channels his middle-eastern upbringing and plays off the beat with finesse letting the sound vacancies enhance his touches. Not hearing the full bottom end of a passage can really make it powerful - so long as the vocals don't drag the tempo into a ditch.

What really makes me happy is to sit on my cajon (!) and have the djembe in hand. So many of my friends play guitar that I'd rather drag my hand percussion along to fill in. As long as they're prepared for a little Brazil/Peru/Argentina to salt up their Texas, it'll all sound OK.

If you don't have them already, you might really enjoy a couple of albums Stewart Copeland did with a group called Animal Logic back in the 80's.  It was Copeland, bassist Stanley Clarke, and a singer named Deborah (Holland?).  It's all very distinctly Stewart.  There's a song called Spy In The House of Love on one of them, it's a halftime feel, and his backbeat lands hard on the snare on the "and" of 3, instead of on the 3.  Nothing else about the groove gives away that displacement is coming or just happened.  It feels like you're listening to an odd-time song, but it's simple 4/4.  Very disorienting every time the snare lands, it's so solid and certain and doesn't feel like it was displaced, it makes you feel like you counted it wrong.  I love it.  

I like percussion but it hurts my hands.

Since we're doing 5/4, here's one I can feel decently well due to the structure of the guitar hook, Steve Lukather and Steve Vai's rendition of Carol of the Bells.

It's funny to think that at one point, Dave Brubeck's music would be considered "subversive". You could get away with it if your dad thought you were listening to Sinatra. Otherwise, you'd need a glassed in apartment with those funky blob-curved coffee tables to hear it.

That was kind of a gateway. Once you got comfortable with that, you'd find yourself listening to The Bird:

Then, they'd all know you were "taking the pot".

Wife and I were listening to this a couple days ago and it made me think of Tulip.  A song in 5/4 from my favorite Sting album.  Also a good example of one that I can't play without counting.  I just can't latch on to the "feel" of this.

Rather than hearing a vocalist croak and fry her way around a lead vocal using half-head/half-chest voice, pinching off or squeaking up the tail end of most phrases, I'd much rather hear her hit every note strong with full voice and use the diaphragm to control power and duration, instead of the back of the tongue and throat.

Here's an example of a strong female vocalist using her full voice appropriately, with no strange affectations.  Even when she mixes in head voice, she does it with strength, and avoids croaking or squeaking.

Last weekend, whilst glimpsing the Huskers' unfortunate performance, I saw someone hold up a large, full color, foam back mounted picture of a runza. Thought of you.

My wife asked, "What the heck is that?". I confidently answered, "That's a runza!!!". I was thinking she'd be impressed, but it didn't move the needle much.

HA!

I, too, am one of the few Texans that knows what a runza is, and I owe it all to having interacted with Fearless (and maybe some of the other huskers) over the past several decades.

Known as the "King of Country," Austin City Limits 2021 Festival headliner George Strait is selling his enormous San Antonio castle. So if you've got $7.5 million to spare and have ever wanted to get out of Austin, now is your moment.

The Santa Fe-style compound sits on 12.2 private acres in the elite Dominion enclave and was originally listed for a steep $10 million in 2018, dropping by just over a million in 2019 and was listed again for 75% of the original price in February.

Nice.  I almost did this one, but then opted for Carole King.  I was keeping Def Leppard in my back pocket in case the whole thing went another round... ;)

Man, Fearless!  That's one long backing track!

Here's what's on my mind right now, because I heard it on a "name the artist and song" contest on the radio this afternoon.

It's a one-hit wonder, and I wonder why.  It sounds like the group had some talent.

The radio guess for the artist of "Smoke From a Distant Fire" was Boz Scaggs.
And the guesser was going, "Smoke From a Distant . . . , Smoke From a Distant . . . something. . . ."
I was laughing at the radio, trying to figure out what other than fire might be producing smoke.  A distant cigarette, maybe?

Tonight will be my first night not singing Johnny Cash tunes on-stage in 2 weeks. We pick back up Wednesday for a final Thurs-Sun run.
I get "Cry, Cry, Cry", "One Piece at a Time", "Sunday Morning Coming Down", and "Delia's Gone" all to myself. I split verses on "Country Boy", "Big River", "Get Rhythm", "Egg Suckin' Dog", "Five Feet High and Rising", "I've Been Everywhere", and "Angel Band". I get most of the lead for "Daddy Sang Bass", and a more than it oughtta be duet on "While I've Got It On My Mind".

Those are the songs on my mind right now. Fun show!

There's a Broadway musical called "Ring of Fire". As written, it's a little confusing. It's supposed to be a "jukebox musical" (meaning the songs are the majority of the content with not much acting linking them up) about Johnny Cash's life. The actors kind of take turns being Johnny Cash. It can be kind of hard to follow from that standpoint.
My local community theater is doing the "small cast" version that four guys and one girl (singing June's parts). We make it clear that nobody is representing Johnny Cash. The dialog is there to sort of connect one song to the next as quickly as possible, but primarily it's an excuse to unload over 30 Johnny Cash tunes in 2 hours (with a few more of our favorites thrown in beforehand).
I heard these tunes in the cradle and have sung them ever since. This is the only time I can really imagine myself singing on stage (sober).

My now-wife and I saw this in New York a few years ago. Neither of us went in quite sure what to expect. Ho. Lee. Cow. The characters all have tons of issues, but I left just slack-jawed at the production. I had the same thoughts then that I did in some Vegas casinos: who thinks of this stuff?
 
I know that there are national tours, but there is something about seeing it in New York. 
Title: Re: OT-- What song's on your mind right now?
Post by: utee94 on October 27, 2021, 02:39:01 PM
I've seen Phantom in NY, Las Vegas, Dallas, and Austin x 2.

The theater production in a standing theater (as in, NOT a touring show) can obviously be more detailed and intricate.  But honestly, it really depends more on the cast.

The best version I've seen, was the touring company that came through Austin the first time. Phantom, Raoul, and Christine were each better than the NY show I saw.*

*Note-- I did NOT see the original Broadway cast which included Michael Crawford, Steve Barton, and Sarah Brightman in those roles.

Ive had folks ask me to name one signer of the Declaration of Independence besides John Hancock of Ben Franklin and because Im a huge fan of 1776 I can raddle off at least 10.  Id bet 90% of my fellow Americans cant do that.

Anyway its a family tradition that every 4th of July we all gather around the TV and watch it.

Rush use to play Cleveland quite a bit
The debut album, Rush (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_(Rush_album)), was released in March 1974; the initial pressing of 3,500 copies quickly sold out.[26] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_(band)#cite_note-26) It went on to peak at No. 86 on the RPM Top Albums chart. Most critics considered the album highly derivative of Led Zeppelin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led_Zeppelin).[27] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_(band)#cite_note-Led_Zeppelin-27) It saw a limited release until it was picked up by Donna Halper (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_Halper), a music director and DJ at rock station WMMS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WMMS) in Cleveland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland), Ohio. She added "Working Man (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_Man)" to the station's regular playlist and the song's blue-collar theme resonated with hard rock fans in the predominantly working class city.[28] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_(band)#cite_note-28) In June 1974, Danniels signed Rush to the American booking agency ATI, of which executive Ira Blacker sent a copy of Rush to Mercury Records (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_Records). The record caught the attention of A&R (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%26R) man Cliff Burnstein, who signed Rush with a $75,000 advance as part of a $200,000 deal.

First love was named Ann,met her in 8th/9th Grade Catechism class of about 20 kids.Sparks but I wasn't driving yet and we lived in different communities to far apart.This tune brings me back to those words,Lightfoot was fantastic in the mid-late '70's.One of the Guys who went down on the Fitzgerald lived right down the road about 6 miles.I spent summers/weekends up at the lake cabin '74-'78,assholes developed the whole area,doesn't look like progress to me,but that's what the natives said also

Yeah I'm definitely one of the few people I know that dislikes the Stones.  I think it's Mick Jagger's voice, mostly.  It just grates on me.

I think Rush is similar for some people.  I love the band, but Geddy Lee can be a little screechy, and the band can be a little preachy, sometimes.

My favorite Rush song:

Heh!  The Johnny Mercer and Frank Sinatra videos could work as motivational videos.

But West Side Story is a horse of a different color for me.

Appreciating Broadway musicals--especially when they include dance numbers--always requires suspension of disbelief.

There's a story that illustrates this.

Robert Leckie was in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II.  He served in combat in the Pacific theater, as a scout and a machine gunner in H Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines, 1st Marine Division.  He saw combat in the Guadalcanal Campaign, the Battle of Cape Gloucester, and was wounded by blast concussion in the Battle of Peleliu.  He returned to the United States in March 1945 and was honorably discharged shortly thereafter.  In 1951, he saw South Pacific on Broadway and walked out halfway through. He said “I have to tell the story of how it really was. I have to let people know the war wasn’t a musical.”  (He went on to write a best-selling war memoir, Helmet for my Pillow, and a great poem, "Battle of the Tenaru, August 21, 1942.")

Leckie couldn't suspend his disbelief for South Pacific.

I can't suspend my disbelief when watching West Side Story.  All I see is a bunch of guys dancing around pretending to be hoods.

For some reason, I can suspend my disbelief when watching the source material--Romeo and Juliet--and for Rogers and Hammerstein, and for Lerner and Lowe, but not for West Side Story.

my point by posting the "Cool" scene was calm down football is only a game and not whats really important in life

Im a very big fan of both South Pacific and WSS

but if you have ever seen WSS in person up close as a play when performed by Broadway actors and dancers

I think you would just sit back and enjoy the art of the performance

I use this melody to explain the "hemiola"; effectively three notes over two beats. 
The "I want  to live in A Mer-I-Ca" is counted "trip-el-et trip-el-et one-two-three". Bernstein wrote it as a compound meter 6/8 3/4 (one measure of triple meter 6/8, followed by duple meter 3/4). Since the whole piece grooves with the triple meter feel, the duple hesitation forms the horizontal hemiola.

Sorry to disappoint.
You mentioned seeing it live and loving it.  I think I'd like it too, seen live.
Movies make the suspension of disbelief more difficult.
I saw a performance of The Barber of Seville, by Rossini, at the Eisenhower Center at West Point back around 1995.  Rosina, the female lead, a contralto, was played by a Chinese woman.  5 minutes into the production, I forgot that completely.
I would not have been able to forget that in a movie.  There would have to be close-ups, and I would be reminded of it constantly.
I think that, in general, I like the theatrical versions of musicals better than the cinematic ones.

There are some occasions when it's acceptable to wear a hat indoors.  For example, whilst 2-stepping at the local dance hall.

But it's never acceptable to wear a hat whilst sitting at the dinner table.

I mean, you can certainly think that, but the name of the genre is "Hair Metal."  And the speed and strength of the guitar parts are more metal than pop.

They're somewhere in between, say... Journey, and Iron Maiden.

Thus, Hair Metal.

Also, Heavy Metal is pretty bland and boring.  I used to like both Heavy Metal and Hair Metal, but decades later, the Hair Metal is WAY more listenable than the plodding, thudding repetition of a Dave Murray or Jeff Hanneman guitar part.

that thing was good for 165 mph
I notice that it's RED.
Did you ever take it up to top speed?
My students often ask me if I've taken my Boss 302 to its max (speed-limited to 155 or so) and I always have to disappoint them by saying (1) I haven't tried and (2) I can't afford to get tickets for driving like that.
The fastest I ever flew an Apache was (IIRC) 140 knots, which is 161.1 mph.  I might have reached 165 mph in there somewhere.

hell yes, 2 or 3 times a month

had to pick my spots where it was relatively safe

of course I was 25/26 years old and before kids - my ideas of relatively safe were different

supposedly the speedo was a bit off that 165, so probably about 161, but with a good south tail wind I saw the needle hit 170
big difference at 125-130, then over 150mph
I sold that bike when first daughter was on the way

We actually said hi to each other at UT

She was making a speaking engagement and I was on the second floor at the student union when all of a sudden around the corner here she came walking alone

I knew it was her immediately.  She was dressed in an all leather brown pants suit.

anyway I stopped she continued walking toward me smiled and said hi

I stammered a hi back and she turned the corner and was gone

its funny the things you remember about college

It came on network TV one night when I was a kid, early 80s, as one of those "Feature Presentations" the networks used to air.  It was at least 15 years old at that time, so I'm sure the network didn't have to pay much for the rights to air.

I think maybe my folks were having a party and they banished all the kids to the back room with the TV, and it was on.  The moment I first saw her on screen I was instantly smitten.

Then we watched it later in one of my high school theater classes, it was a favorite of my drama director.

Since I'm a band/choir/theater dork, I love musicals and always enjoyed that one, so I've rented it a few times over the years since then.  Well, mainly I've rented it because I still have a crush on that particular version of Jane Fonda.

Yeah I was a very good student. 

That's one of the most positive things I found about band, lots of smart kids all encouraging one another to do well.  It was simply an expectation that you'd be in mostly or all Honors/AP courses, and that you'd be working hard to excel at them. It was also an expectation that you'd not only go to college, but likely get scholarships to do so.

There were other social groups where academics either weren't a priority, or even worse, where smart kids that were actually trying to do well in school, were frowned upon.

Ive watched the first 30 min of it so I really cant judge fairly but from what I saw it follows the original fairly closely 

Ill watch the rest of it and give you my opinion later

Saying it's "much better" would be fighting words with a lot of aficionados.

That said, it's very well done. I enjoyed it. Considering Sondheim's and Bernstein's works, you'd be hard pressed to change much. The updated feel, while still being exactly the same story (although not always in the same order), makes it seem much more accessible to a modern audience.

They didn't smooth out much, but "I Feel Pretty" was changed to "I feel pretty, and witty, and 'strong'" or something like that. I guess they didn't want it banned in Florida.

I like the new Westside Story better in some respects

they replaced the stage play type of view with it happening in a real city type of view


and changed some of the dialog between songs to fit a modern audience and it was well done

The new Maria was good but not near as hot as Natalie Wood but they can be forgiven as thats a very high bar

also one touch I liked is the fact that Rita Moreno who played Anita in the original played the drug store owner in the new version

anyway they kept all the dancing and presented the musical numbers very close to the original 

overall Id give it an A and worth seeing

I guess Eric Clapton is the guy on guitar back behind the drummer.

I wonder who was more surprised, the group, at being invited to appear on the Johnny Cash show, or Johnny's fans, at seeing them on the show.

Those aren't the same song, are they?

I don't know Hall & Oates from Loggins and Messina, but I like their "She's Gone" better than I do Eric Clapton's song of the same name.

I'm not much into electric guitar solos.  To me, they are just demonstrations of technical excellence.  Whether it's Eric Clapton, or Prince, or Eddie Van Halen, it doesn't move me.  I'm impatient for the guitar solo to be over and the "real" music to resume.

Probably blasphemy to the ears of serious musicians.

Les Paul pioneered the redub which was recording on top of a previously recorded

song.  He might do this several times so it sounds like many people singing when in fact it was only one.


Les Paul is one of my favorite entertainers

Les Paul is among the handful of people who might have invented the solid-body electric guitar.  An early one was a 4x4 "log" that he later added two halves of a guitar body to it for appearance's sake.

He is the only person to be inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

Actress Hedy Lamarr is also in the National Inventors Hall of Fame as the co-creater of an early radio frequency-hopping technology.

As a follow up Les Paul came out with his overdubbing technique in the late 40s and early 50s

When rock and roll got going a number of performers used the overdub approach

an example of this was Leslie Gore who used a 2 voice overdub on most of her hits

Per the Font of All Wisdom and Knowledge, Bobby Troup, after graduating from college in 1941, enlisted in the United States Marine Corps but did not receive orders until January 1942. After completing officer training, he was assigned as one of two dozen white officers to direct recruit training at Montford Point, the recruit depot for the first black Marines. In 1943 he became recreation officer and helped build a recreation hall, basketball court, and outdoor boxing ring. A friend installed a miniature golf course. At Montford Point, he also organized the first African-American band of U.S. Marines. During this time he composed "Take Me Away from Jacksonville", which was to become an anthem of sorts for the Marines at Montford Point and other areas of Camp Lejeune.

It was a ton of fun. We visited El Matador Beach in Malibu, Santa Monica, and Simi Valley, where we toured the Reagan Library and Museum.  Five days of beautiful Southern California weather.

I like her boots too.

She was no great talent, but that song was not bad.  Silly, yes.

When things got really icky was when she and Frank recorded "Somethin' Stupid" as a duet.  DJs called it "the incest song."

Frank got a little goofy in the 1960s. I don't think that he realized that he was an old man by then. He was still trying to talk and act like a hipster.

And the hymn itself.

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings it more beautifully.

But it gets one word wrong.

As it is sung here, properly, it's "Let us die to make men free!"

It's a battle hymn, after all.

Heh! Great song, but Woody was not a good guy.  His guitar may have said "This Machine Kills Fascists," but for the 22 months that Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were allies, he was opposing anyone who wanted to stop Hitler.

I'm embarrassed that Tulsa houses the Woody Guthrie Museum.

I think I remember infuriating daddyact on the old CFN boards when I produced some alternate lyrics to that song.

To come full circle, though, one reason that America is great is because guys like Woody Guthrie get to have their say.

I think 1976 is the wrong year, Fearless.  For example, I think that "In-a-Gadda-da-Vida" was from 1969.

By 1976, Fleetwood Mac, Boston, Starship, groups like that would have been popular.

Sunset Gill is good, but Boys of Summer is achingly haunting in a way that always spoke to me.  It's definitely my favorite Don Henley song, not just on that album.

I've always been a big fan of Chris Ledoux.  That's a good tune.  Another favorite of mine:

"Empty Lake / Empty Streets / The Sun goes down alone..."
"I'm drivin' by your house / though I know you're not home."

Imagery of all the things that were there for fun and good times, now left idle as we head back to school and other commitments.
Of course, to a kid in the late 80's with an ink-still-wet driver's license, it's also a "things I should have done, but was too timid to seize an opportunity" vibe. Regret really isn't the right word.

We've always played a wide variety of music around the house, and our kids like all kinds. We play plenty of country and the kids like some of it and some other maybe not so much, but last week while we were camping, we were playing a lot of George Strait.  And my 14yo daughter must have really liked it, because now all I hear blasting from her room is the King of Country. I'm so darn proud!

This song seems to be her favorite:

This one's a classic and she was playing it at "11" this morning whilst getting ready for her second day of Summer Band:

I will not lie, deceive, or mislead-- I've never had pot. In any forum.

Or any other drug not named alcohol.

It's not a big deal to me, I'm not opposed to pot and drugs in general as long as they're governed by the same laws as alcohol like DUI.

But it's also not a thing I ever cared to try or become involved in.

There, I said it.

I'm a square.

theres a part of me thats what tha hell

anyway a few months back I went to the local drug store to buy some Sudafed

and wasnt sure which one to get but the one that worked best made me have to show
my drivers license so they could log my purchase to make sure I wasnt using it to
make meth

so when I asked the druggist if they had Sudafed she said yes and I asked is this the one where I have to show my drivers license and she looked at me smiled and said yep its the good stuff

we both laughed over that

On separate occasions in recent days, I've heard BOTH of my kids blasting this song from their rooms.  Unlike some other songs and artists that I've basically hit them over the head with over the years-- Willie Nelson, Van Halen, Journey, Jerry Jeff Walker-- this is one that they seem to have found on their own.  I've always liked the band, and the song, but it's not typically on heavy rotation around here.  I simply consider it a testament to how well I've raised them, that they could discover a love for this music independently...

I drove from Tulsa to McAlester today on some family business. The fast route is U.S. 75 South to Henryetta ("Home of World Champion Cowboys: Jim Shoulders and Troy Aikman") then Indian Nation Turnpike to McAlester.

I decided to take the scenic route home. U.S. 69 North through Eufala (home of the Selmon Brothers) to Muskogee, then U.S. 64 West back to the south edge of Tulsa.

As I left the vicinity of McAlester, I could pick up two (2) radio stations. One was religious, the other was "country."

These were the first two songs on the country station. After that, it was dreck.

Oh, it's about as accurate as "Sink the Bismarck" and "Battle of New Orleans."  Meaning not very.
But it was very heroic on JFK's part.
Especially if you ignore the fact that he got his boat cut in two by a Japanese destroyer that was about half as fast as PT-109. I suspect that the crew were all asleep until seconds before the collision took place. Their missions were night after night, and they were grueling. And it was hard to sleep during the heat of the day. Besides, maintenance on the boat needed to take place and so did mission planning.
Sometimes extreme heroism is what saves the day after mistakes have caused everything to go to Hell.
That song dates from a time before the full flowering of the anti-hero in our culture.
And when we could hate and demean our enemies (or former enemies) and feel good about it!

This morning on the way to work the local rock station had a song going when I first got in the car, it was near the end and the lyrics were over with, other than the high-pitched "do do do-do do-do-dooooo" that repeats over and over at the end.  I couldn't put my finger on the song, but I'm pretty sure it's from my high-school/college years.  Couldn't get my soundhound app up fast enough for it to identify the song, and the station's website is handled through iheart and doesn't keep a "recently played" list for me to look at. 

Now it's the only thing on my mind, I can't remember who it is/what song it is, and it's driving me nuts.

Lots of folks have covered that song.  Some versions are good, some not so good, and Patsy Cline's version was of course the first and most famous one.

But I'll never like any version of it as much as I like Willie's, from back when he wrote it.  His voice was still so strong and nuanced back then:

I've been to San Angelo once.

Fall of 1990, a warrant officer and I were flying an Apache from the factory in Mesa, AZ, to Dover AFB, DE, for it to be loaded on a C-5 and sent to Saudi Arabia for Operation Desert Shield.

Our first day was to be Mesa to Fort Hood. We had left Mesa in the afternoon, so it was dark on the Biggs AAF (at El Paso) to Ft. Hood leg. Ahead of us, the sky was full of lighting from as far north to as far south as we could see. So we turned back to San Angelo to spend the night. The people at the San Angelo airport's Fixed Base Operator were great. They took us to a motel in town and picked us up in the morning. They had the Apache refueled when we got to the airfield.

Nevertheless, getting into Fort Hood late morning of Day 2 instead of nighttime of Day 1 put us half a day behind, and we were never able to make it up. We pushed through bad weather all the way, spending the next night in St. Louis, and getting leaving late in really, really bad weather the next morning. We ended up getting to Dover about an hour too late for our Apache to get loaded on the scheduled C-5.

Anyway, I got to see San Angelo, which I had known of from this song since I was 7-8 years old.

In Ranger School, during down times, we sang variations of that song.
I can remember the following lines:
I've seen all kinds of kills
And had all kinds of thrills
But the biggest thrill I'll ever get
Is the thrill that'll get me
When I see my picture
On the cover of "The Bayonet"!
"The Bayonet" was the post newspaper at Fort Benning, where Ranger School started and finished.

« on: September 22, 2022, 12:20:28 PM »


This morning on the way to work the local rock station had a song going when I first got in the car, it was near the end and the lyrics were over with, other than the high-pitched "do do do-do do-do-dooooo" that repeats over and over at the end.  I couldn't put my finger on the song, but I'm pretty sure it's from my high-school/college years.  Couldn't get my soundhound app up fast enough for it to identify the song, and the station's website is handled through iheart and doesn't keep a "recently played" list for me to look at.

Now it's the only thing on my mind, I can't remember who it is/what song it is, and it's driving me nuts.


No one made fun of it so Im not sure what you are talking about

I dont recall any actual song youve ever posted here

But if you did Im sure it was top shelf

I was unaware that Bill Withers did that song.

I used to show a 9-11 documentary on Flight 93, called "The Flight that Fought Back," to my students. In the opening scenes, as passengers drove to the airport and boarded in Boston, that song was playing in the background.

I recently played that song at random, it just popped into my head so I had our household wiretap device (aka Amazon Alexa) play it.  I've always found it to be soothing and uplifting.

My 15yo daughter was really taken by it, she loved it.  She must have added it to her personal playlist because these days, on many mornings, I hear her blasting it from her room as she gets ready for school.

Epidemiology and public health. She picked up a minor in history; I suspect so she could hang around for another football season.
Fair enough, since she arrived with like 60+ hours of credit from taking dual high school courses. Her first two years at Texas were obliterated by Covid protocols.

I would assume her major source of jobs would be from the government

Some majors are job training. You kind of want your engineers to have engineering degrees. A lot of other majors just kind of give you experience in a field and don't necessarily dictate a job pathway.

Certainly civil health related entities would be interested. However, there's a lot of healthcare employers outside of government that require planning and strategy. She's currently got a lead to teach high school and be the assistant soccer coach for her old team if she chooses that.

Since this is the song thread:

Yeah as I've said many times around here, engineering is effectively a vocational school. My "liberal arts" requirements were so minimal that my high school AP courses placed me out of almost all of them.  So in college I ended up only having to take one semester of a "soft science" for some reason, and the options were things like psychology, sociology, philosophy.

I took Sociology and it was great-- easy A and SO many cute coeds.  Nothing like my engineering courses.  It was a... fruitful... course for me.

But it's about the only non-engineering course I ever took because I placed out of the minimal requirements for literature, history, and I think government.

Destroy pop music?  What are you talking about?  Pop music survived and thrived.  It still does.
Popular music--in the sense of it being listened to by most of the country--no longer exists. It's a hundred different genres and sub-genres.
I'm not saying that there is no good music being made today. I'm saying that there is nothing that the whole country listens to.
Back when I was teaching middle school--pushing 20 years ago--the jazz band from my old high school played came to our school and played at an assembly.
The Screaming Eagles they were. When I was in high school, they played contemporary music. They recorded an album every year. I had the album from my sophomore year for a long time. Because it was also the title of the album, I remember that Track 1 was Simon and Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair." It was a big song that year.

https://youtu.be/-BakWVXHSug (https://youtu.be/-BakWVXHSug)

The other songs were of the same ilk. Instrumentals of big songs of right then. I'm sure there was a Beatles song on there.

Anyway, when the 2005 (or so) edition of the Screaming Eagles came to Woodrow Wilson M.S., they did not play contemporary music. What could they have played that everyone would recognize and appreciate? Instead, they played big band music. Swing. Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, the Dorseys, Artie Shaw, et. al. Late '30s and WWII music.
And the kids loved it.

B

OK but rap and hip-hop didn't do that, and it certainly didn't happen in the 80s.  Country, western, jazz, rock and roll, hard rock, punk rock, new wave, pop, dance, disco, Motown, funk-- all existed before the 80s.  That's why specific-format radio stations existed.  In the late 70s, off the top of my head, Austin had 2 country stations, 1 rock station, 1 pop station, and even a couple of Tejano stations.  Bigger cities had more stations and a lot more variety.

In my childhood in the 70s there was no "popular music" uniting the entire country's musical tastes.  If such a thing ever existed, it was before I was born.

It just seems really weird-- and potentially racist-- to blame that on rap and hip-hop.

The barrier to entry doesn't exist any longer. If you can't play an instrument, well, you don't need any. You don't need studio time or a distribution deal.

The good part is that anyone with a creative force can build up their tracks on a computer and stream them. The downside is that people without much creativity can also do it.

that's right, videos weren't invented until the 80s
Technically HBO's video jukebox featured music videos in the late 1970s, they called them "promotional clips" at the time.  In 1981 they went to a full half-hour show format for the videos, and of course MTV also premiered in 1981.  Within about a year, MTV's subscriber count eclipsed HBO's, and it became the official home of music videos (and 80s pop culture in general).

A decade later they basically stopped showing videos and lost most of their relevance.

As a kid, I had to rely on American Bandstand & Ed Sullivan to see rock acts.  There were a couple of shows, Shindig! and Hulabaloo that lasted a couple of years in the '60's.  The first time I saw a bluesman was when the Rolling Stones brought Howlin' Wolf to Shindig!.  That turned my concept of music upside down.

Post by: MikeDeTiger on December 22, 2022, 10:28:16 AM
I read an article a few years ago that opined only one new Christmas song had been added to the "Christmas standards" list in the last half century.  i.e., not talking about all the new Christmas songs that appear on newer artists' Christmas albums that most people don't know, and that artist and version is the only one that exists for that song.  It's referring to something like "Silent Night" which everybody knows and has most often has been covered by many artists.  Something added to the Christmas lexicon of the culture.  

It argued that only Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is the only standard added in recent years.  I think that's correct despite the fact that as far as I know, nobody else has covered that song.  But her version is so ubiquitous and recognized by nearly everyone, and is so featured in radio rotation every bit as much as the other standards, that I think it does qualify.  

However.  I would argue that Mark Lowry and Buddy Greene's "Mary Did You Know" also belongs in the Christmas Standards list.  I don't know if it was written with Christmas in mind but I do know it first appeared on an album that was not a Christmas record.  But since that time several major artists have covered the song and because it works as a Christmas song, it has been used as such.  It's not as pervasive or recognizable (imo) as Carey's song, but it's present enough that I think it has also entered the hard-to-break-into Christmas Standards club.  

Can you think of any other new(ish) songs that deserve to be added to the list?

Post by: utee94 on December 22, 2022, 10:49:38 AM
Yeah I guess it depends on how loosely we are defining "recently."  If we're talking "anything newer than the 40s/50s" (which is the era when a TON of the Christmas standards were estalished), then I'd say there were definitely some additions in the 80s, like Wham's "Last Christmas."

But it does get pretty tough to identify more than a couple of them, and I'd agree that Mariah Cary's "All I Want for Christmas is You" is the only major "new" one and even that one, is what, two decades old now?

"Mary Did You Know" is a great song but I really only hear it in religious contexts, I don't often hear it in the more secular environments like shopping mall playlists, so I'm not sure I'd  agree it's made the leap to "Christmas Standard."

Title: Re: OT-- What song's on your mind right now?
Post by: MikeDeTiger on December 22, 2022, 10:59:09 AM
Our 80's pop station here goes full Christmas music between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and they play Mary Did You Know.  

I've heard it show up in the background of some film scenes, can't remember if it was a movie(ies) or TV show(s) or what...I just know I've heard it here and there.  

I don't recall ever hearing it on any secular stations in Austin at Christmas time, though, and I agree it's lesser known than Mariah Carey's tune.  I guess I hear it enough (even a few "secular" artists have covered it) that it passes for me.  Then again, I'm more likely to hear something that appears mainly in a religious context than some others.   

I did think Wham's Last Christmas should qualify.  Maybe the Band-Aid song as well.  Radio stations do play them, though not as much as the other old standards.  

The Jackson 5 have some Christmas songs, I'm assuming from the 70's, that get a ton of play and most people recognize them.  Notably 'I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause' and 'Santa Clause Is Coming To Town.'
Title: Re: OT-- What song's on your mind right now?
Post by: utee94 on December 22, 2022, 11:24:32 AM
Yeah that Jackson 5 version of Santa Claus is Coming To Town is pretty ubiquitous.  

You wanna know a couple of "standards" that I really don't like?  "Santa Baby", and "I'm Getting Nothin' For Christmas".  Any time I hear one of those two songs, it's an immediate "nope out" for me.
Title: Re: OT-- What song's on your mind right now?
Post by: MikeDeTiger on December 22, 2022, 12:22:49 PM
It's a tricky thing to assess what has been/should be added to the 'standards' for Christmas music.  

I think one metric has to be enduring through various generations.  

I say Wham's "Last Christmas" should be added, but then I look at my nieces and stepsons and they don't know that song.  People my age and surrounding within a certain range will always be on the lookout for that one at Christmas time, but is it enduring like old Bing Crosby tunes?  I'm not so sure.  OTOH, my nieces and stepsons know Mariah Carey's song and can sing along with it just fine.  

My sample size is way small though, and I have no idea what kids today know and don't know.

Meredith Wilson is a native of Mason City, Iowa, and a very accomplished playwright, composer, and bandleader. He's the man who wrote the 1957 Broadway hit "The Music Man" and six years earlier he wrote a famous Christmas song.

In 1951, Wilson wrote "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas", a song that would become a Christmas standard. The song has been recorded more than 200 times over the years, but two of the most famous versions were done the very year it was written.

On September 18, 1951, Perry Como and The Fontane Sisters and Mitchell Ayres and His Orchestra recorded the song.

This week in 1976, Boston's debut single, MORE THAN A FEELING reached its US chart peak at #5. When it was released, group leader Tom Scholz still had his day job working for Polaroid (Dec 1976)
Group leader Tom Scholz wrote this song, which is about a guy who wakes up with the blahs, turns on some music, and gets lost in reverie dreaming of his days with Marianne.
"It was written about a fantasy event," he explained.
"But it's one that almost everybody can identify with, of somebody losing somebody that was important to them, and music taking them back there."
According to Rolling Stone magazine, Scholz was inspired by the "heart-tugging mood" of the Left Banke's 1967 song "Walk Away Renee." He worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
Tom Scholz recorded most of Boston's first album, including "More Than a Feeling," in his Watertown, Massachusetts basement studio, which was stocked with equipment he bought with earnings from his job at Polaroid.
When Boston finally got a record deal with Epic, they had to abide by union rules and complete it in a proper studio, which Scholz felt was a hindrance. To get around this restriction, he re-recorded his demos pretty much note-for-note in that same basement studio and had his vocalist, Brad Delp, record his vocals in the Los Angeles studio Epic arranged. Boston drummer Sib Hashian played on "More Than a Feeling," but Scholz played all the other instruments on the track.
This was Boston's first single, and a surprising hit. The group's rise was sudden and unexpected; when "More Than a Feeling" was released, their managers spent a lot of time pitching it to radio stations, which is a very tough sell for an unknown band, but the song is so polished and radio-friendly that many stations put it on the air. It took off, and very soon this unknown band with an album recorded mostly in a basement was a major player on the rock scene.
The album Boston is one of the best selling of all time. It sold very well in the '80s and '90s due to catalog sales, which were these offers record companies made to the public where you could get something like "25 CDs for a penny" as long as you chose from their selection and agreed to buy a certain number of albums in the future.
Nirvana sometimes played the beginning of this as an intro to "Smells Like Teen Spirit." When asked about Nirvana's confession of semi-nicking the song's chord progression, Scholz told Best Classic Bands: "They didn't do a great job on the chorus. I heard the story about people thinking that part of that song sounds like it was a swipe from 'More Than a Feeling.' I don't hear it. If it were, I would consider it a compliment."
The dream girl in this song, Marianne, was based on a real person. "She was my older first cousin, who I had a crush on when I was 10," Scholz explained. "I ran into her many many years later and she was very annoyed at me for mentioning that she was my older cousin."

Wife was watching Lisa Marie Presley's memorial service on YouTube this past weekend.  Axl Rose was one of the people asked to participate.  Interestingly, he was one of the better speakers, not so much in his comfortability with public speaking, but in that his words actually made sense and didn't just string together poetic-sounding nonsense phrases like some of the other people did.  

Then he did November Rain with just himself on piano.  Man, the years have not been kind to his voice.  

Since it's one of my favorite songs from my youth I had to go listen to the album and a few old live versions to wash the bad taste out of my ears.

Yeah rock music (and smoking and drugs, probably) hasn't been kind to the voices of many of my rock favorites over the years.  I saw Bon Jovi a couple of years back and he really struggled with some of the phrases he used to manage effortlessly.

I still have most of my old vinyl, and I also have my dad's collection of ~1,000 albums from the 60s/70s/80s (he was the GM of an FM country radio station and was given hundreds of albums as promotional material).  

I currently have two turntables, my old TEAC from circa 1986, and then a really sweet Garrard 401 that was my dad's, from the radio station.  I have the TEAC running through my modern main home theater system, and the Garard in a separate room hooked up to my old Marantz amp with Boston Acoustic stereo speakers.

I loved that song when I was a kid. But I wasn't around yet in 1951.

I'm not a huge fan of the rainbow song but, Paint it black is a great one (Blues) and one of the early songs that sparked my fandom.

"can't always git" is a solid classic
Title: Re: OT-- What song's on your mind right now?
Post by: utee94 on March 23, 2023, 11:06:19 AM
I really, really hate "Can't Always Get."  A lot of it is because I dislike Mick Jagger's voice, the weird way he modulates his sounds and sort of chews his mouth and then spits out words.  Those annoying effects are minimized on Rainbow and Paint It Black.  But they are maximized on songs like Can't Always Get, and Just Waiting on a Friend.

I seriously can't stand listening to him sing those songs, and most others. I change the radio station every single time.

Edit:  As for the music itself, it tends toward really generic blues and rock progressions, nothing special at all IMO.  Paint It Black is an exception because it's a really haunting melody.

I can't even fathom how one plays music with two hands that way, or even reads music with that many simultaneous notes.  It boggles my mind.

Playing an instrument like French horn or trumpet, there's only one note at a time.  That's all you'll ever read, and all you'll ever play.

Forty years ago I was a decent pianist for a piker, I could play some interesting pieces.  Sometimes I marveled at how my hands were moving without conscious thought.  When you really master a piece, your hands play it and you're thinking about intonation etc.  I never mastered a really complex piece.  I'm trying to get back into it now, we bought a Yamaha electronic piano that is fabulous, it has a normal keyboard that then controls the electronics, so it feels just like a grand piano.  My problem for now is my hands are really weak, so I have to exercise them, which is boring, and we travel a lot.  This is one of my favorite pieces.

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed
In the maritime sailors' cathedral
The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald


At the Mariners' Church in Detroit, they rang the bell 30 times the other day. #30 was for Gordon Lightfoot.

I had a question on the B1G board, who is this Taylor Swift person.  Her concert here was "big news" of a sort, I've heard the name, don't know the music at all (I quit listening to any "current" music a long time back.)  (Well, sometimes a fellow will drive by with rap music blaring out of his car, the car shaking and rattling so much it seems about to fall apart, usually a 2003 Honda Civic with loud exhaust and an automatic transmission).

Audio only. Before Van Halen ever had a record contract, KISS' Gene Simmons produced this demo and shopped it to his record label, who rejected it. Less than a year later, Warner Bros signed VH. 10 tracks on this demo. "Runnin' With The Devil"...outside of Dave's vocal tracks, the demo sounds like the actual album version. Hard to believe someone rejected that.

Taylor started off as an acoustic guitar style country sounding artist when she was like 15 or so. Wrote a lot of her own stuff, performed it, and really had some catchy to it. "Mean" was one of the first ones I remember being popular.

As she's grown, she's experimented with a lot of styles. Some more workable than others. I still think she's at her best telling stories with her guitar, but she'll do a lot of electronica inspired tunes now.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that she's grown into a modelesque beauty queen.

A lot of her songs were comically about boyfriends breaking up with her.
Title: Re: OT-- What song's on your mind right now?
Post by: utee94 on May 16, 2023, 04:09:32 PM
Yup, I'd always thought of her as a country singer/songwriter.  Then I started listening to her more recent stuff, before that concert at COTA in Austin in 2017 or so, just so I'd be familiar with it.  1989 was the most recent album of hers at the time, and it represented a major departure from her older stuff, but I found it really, really catchy and interesting and enjoyable.  IMO, 1989 is one of the biggest and best albums since the beginning of the 2000s, of any genre, like easily top 5 kind of material there.  It was just a pure blockbuster album.

I haven't loved everything she's done since then, but I've liked more than I haven't, and I'd be happy to go see her again-- if I could get tickets, that is. :)

My dad met and played some guitar with Roger Miller in the summer of... maybe 1962 or 63?  At the time, my dad worked summers at Six Flags over Texas in Arlington.  His job was as a wandering guitar-playing musician in the Mexican section of the park.  After work he and some other college-age kids would go to a nearby park in Arlington and drink beer and hang out, and he'd take his guitar and play songs.  

One time one of his friends brought a stranger along, and introduced him as Roger.  None of those kids had ever heard of Roger Miller at that point, but as they were hanging out and my dad was playing music, Roger asked if he could borrow the guitar and he started singing and playing some songs.  One of those was an early version of "Dang Me" which he recorded and charted with a peak at #1 within the next year or so.

As a band kid, drama kid, and choir kid, of the 1980s, I'm a huge fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber.  Phantom is my favorite, but I'm a huge fan of pretty much all of them.  I got to play the role of Judas Iscariot in a local production of JCS.  And I always wanted to play Che from Evita.

Bobby Troup had an interesting life. He trained Black Marines during WWII. He composed "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66" during and after a drive from Pennsylvania to California with his wife in their 1941 Buick, as he wanted to be a songwriter. He was an actor in guest roles in the 1950s and 1960s. He got a permanent gig on Emergency, along with his second wife, Julie London. Died in 1999 at age 80.

Trivia fact: Oklahoma had more miles of Route 66 than any other state. You'd think it would have been New Mexico or Arizona.

The "Father of Route 66" is Cyrus Stevens Avery. Born in Pennsylvania, he ended up in Tulsa, with several stops along the way.

The first recorded version of the song:

I always liked that theme. I never had any knowledge about the time signature; I just knew that it sounded really jazzy.

IIRC, Mr. Tulip discussed 5/4 time way back on this thread.
Title: Re: OT-- What song's on your mind right now?
Post by: utee94 on July 08, 2023, 09:29:07 AM
5/4 is an interesting time signature.  It's unsettling to most ears and is often used to convey the idea of discomfort.  It's also not often used throughout the entire duration a song, but only as part of the piece.

"White Room" by Cream comes to mind, the opening is in 5/4 and then it kicks into common time when the verses begin.

Good post, 320! I did not know that Steven Spielberg (or anyone else, for that matter) had done a remake of West Side Story. That scene is a lot brighter--visually--than the one in the 1961 version. I think I like it better.

Wikipedia notes that some critics believe that Spielberg's version is better than the '61 Wise/Robbins version. Also that it is closer to the '57 Broadway version.

The setting for that "America" segment shows Spielberg at his best. Convincing street scene with period cars. All in great colors. It really captures what you think of when you know that it is set in 1957 in an immigrant-heavy section of New York City.

I agree but keep in mind that the original movie was in 1961 and todays camera technology has made major improvements over the last 60 years

Here's the same scene in the 1961 version. It looks like it was filmed in a gymnasium.

The 1961 moviebwas almost an exact repeat of the Broadway Play set wise while the current movie transformed the story into a wide ranging on scene location approach  which is better received by audiences

I haven't ever seen the stage play, but the Font of All Wisdom and Knowledge asserts that: "The [2021] film's screenplay hews more closely to the Broadway script of West Side Story than to the 1961 film adaptation written by Ernest Lehman."

Of course, that doesn't necessarily say anything about the sets. The "America" set of the 1961 film definitely looks like it was based on a stage production.

One of the cinema’s most powerful scenes occurs in a film many might disregard due to its genre. In “The Outlaw Josey Wales,” a man trying to rebuild his war-shattered life, rides out to face a Comanche chieftain.
Josey: You be Ten Bears?
Ten Bears: I am Ten Bears.
Josey: I’m Josey Wales.
Ten Bears: I have heard. You’re the Gray Rider. You would not make peace with the Blue Coats. You may go in peace.
Josey: I reckon not. Got nowhere to go.
Ten Bears: Then you will die.
Josey: I came here to die with you. Or, live with you. Dying ain’t so hard for men like you and me, it’s living that’s hard; when all you ever cared about has been butchered or raped. Governments don’t live together, people live together. With governments, you don’t always get a fair word or a fair fight. Well, I’ve come here to give you either one or get either one from you. I came here like this so you’ll know my word of death is true. And that my word of life is then true. The bear lives here, the wolf, the antelope, the Comanche. And so will we. Now, we’ll only hunt what we need to live on, the same as the Comanche does. And every spring when the grass turns green and the Comanche moves north, we can rest here in peace, butcher some of our cattle, and jerk beef for the journey. The sign of the Comanche, that will be on our lodge. That’s my word of life.
Ten Bears: And your word of death?
Josey: It’s here in my pistols, there in your rifles . . . I’m here for either one.
Ten Bears: These things you say we will have, we already have.
Josey: That’s true. I ain’t promising you nothing extra. I’m just giving you life and you’re giving me life. And I’m saying that men can live together without butchering one another.
Ten Bears: It’s sad that governments are chiefed by the double-tongues. There is iron in your word of death for all Comanche to see. And so there is iron in your word of life. No signed paper can hold the iron, it must come from men. The word of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life . . . or death. It shall be life.

I'll guess that's 1983?  I know and can sing at least part of every single song on that list.  
Title: Re: OT-- What song's on your mind right now?
Post by: FearlessF on July 18, 2023, 05:58:04 PM
yup, 83

and yes, all popular

not any I'd call classics, or great
Title: Re: OT-- What song's on your mind right now?
Post by: utee94 on July 18, 2023, 06:35:34 PM
The #1 song Every Breath You Take is absolutely a classic.  My kids and all their friends know it well, 40 years later.

1999 is pretty classic and I'd call it great.  Unique and ahead of its time like much of Prince's early stuff.

Most of the rest is just pop, but same goes for your 1972 list.  The only song on that 1972 list that I actually like, is Rocket Man. Lean on Me is a classic but I think it mostly sucks, if only because it's been so overplayed over the decades.

Oh and I personally like Don't Let It End but I'm a super-weird Styx fanboi, even the later stuff like that song.  I don't expect anyone else to like it that's for sure.

I'd say I like their "mid" stuff.

Their early stuff was nothing more than the drugged out ramblings of some total burnouts.  A glimpse here and there of something special, but mostly rubbish about getting high and hooking up with underaged girls.  

Mid stuff was great.

And then Paradise Theater and Kilroy Was Here which I really liked, but I can understand those who don't.

I love the guitar work.  I like the voices okay, although the chick made some artistic choices that I don't love.  Changing things up in a cover is fine, but some of her alterations didn't work all that well, in the register she was singing.

Every time I hear or think about Dire Straits, I, as a drum-nerd, can't help thinking of the raging debate in the drum world about their song "Heavy Fuel."  As in, did a drummer named Jeff Porcaro play on it, or a drummer named Manu Katche.  The album credits either don't say, or are known to be unreliable....I forget which.  Complicating things is there are about three different versions, only one of which made it to the album, but in these days where everything in history pops up on the internet, the tracks with alternate drums have been unearthed, which clearly seem to point to one drummer over the other.  But, says some, that's meaningless, because musicians get bumped on sessions all the time and another guy is brought in to redo the part. 

I know this bores you all to tears, but it's a thing. 

It's totally Manu, btw.

I dunno if he still hangs around anymore, but he used to be a terror for the record labels.
He'd hang around the studio after finishing his own work. Afterward, he'd tour the halls and check out everyone else's stuff. When he heard something he liked, he'd ask to jump in and play along.

Totally cool from a music perspective. When you're the licensing and royalties guy, it's a nightmare.

It's quite eclectic with a wide range of music spanning at least 5 decades, and I'm quite proud to say, she has put Into The Mystic on that list. One of my all-time favorite songs.

I like Miss Underwood's style and her voice and she's not unpleasant to look at, either.

I have to say I don't love most of her music.  I think it all started with that song about vandalizing her boyfriend's truck.  I just can't get into that kind of stuff.  I also intensely disliked the Dixie Chicks and their song about murdering a dude.

Sort of like how Big Band music was the music of America during WWII.

The Chicks lead singer is Natalie Maines. Her dad is the legendary slide player Lloyd Maines. If you're making Texican music, Lloyd will magically appear in your rehearsal and start playing dobro, lap, or pedal steel.
He's played with Jerry Jeff, Joe Ely, Wilco, and anyone else who'll sit still.

I don't know the most about Lloyd Maines but I knew the name.  Never realized he was Natlie Maines' dad.  Pretty neat.  

One of the singers from the band Toto, Joseph Williams, is also a legacy music guy.  His dad is the legendary John Williams, film composer and conductor responsible for the music from classics like the Stars Wars, Indiana Jones, and Jaws franchises, along with Harry Potter and dozens more.  To me, the only film composer that's in his league is Hans Zimmer, who is very different, but also great.

I liked Ravel's Bolero long before Bo Derek made it famous.

When George Gershwin met Maurice Ravel in New York in 1928, he asked about studying with the French composer.

Ravel reportedly replied, 'Why would you want to be a second-rate Ravel when you can be a first-rate Gershwin?'

Quote
His rock and roll career faltered in the wake of his marriage to Myra Gale Brown (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myra_Gale_Brown), his 13-year-old first cousin once removed. His popularity quickly eroded following the scandal, and with few exceptions, such as a cover of Ray Charles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Charles)'s "What'd I Say (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What'd_I_Say)", he did not have much chart success in the early 1960s.

Also lesser known is that Lewis also considered becoming a preacher instead of a rocker, just as Swaggert was on the fence between the two himself when he was young.  I don't know that Gilley ever considered any sort of ministry.

Also lesser known is that Lewis also considered becoming a preacher instead of a rocker, just as Swaggert was on the fence between the two himself when he was young.  I don't know that Gilley ever considered any sort of ministry.

Also not sure why 320 calls Lewis the guy from TN who married his cousin.  Dude was definitely from Louisiana. 
Yup, all 3 of them were, although Mickey Gilley was technically born in MS.  But he got to Louisiana as soon as he could... :)

Of course you don't consider yourself a Coloradan.  At 3 years old, you probably don't even remember it, and Colorado forms hardly any of your formative years.

That's quite a bit different than growing up in a place until you're about 20 years old, where all your family is and remained, and which contains the churches and dance halls where you honed your craft for years and years.  

John Lennon died in NYC.  He grew up and learned to play in Liverpool, UK.  Nobody says John Lennon was from New York City.  

It doesn't make me "feel better" to say JLL is a Louisianan.  It's a simple matter of fact, just as I live in Texas for many years of my adult life, but no one would ever say I'm from Texas.

I can't remember exactly, but I probably heard SRV's version first.  Then when I heard Jimi's original, I probably wondered, "Why the heck did he make up words to this song???"

I didn't hear Sting's version until the release of Nothing Like The Sun, but I really enjoyed it then.  I was a huge fan of The Police, and Sting's first solo tour for Dream of the Blue Turtles, was the very first concert I ever went to with "just my friends" rather than having my parents and family there as well.  I was in... 7th grade I think...?

I saw Sting once, in 2010, way past the time I would've liked to have seen him.  It was at the UNO Arena in NOLA and sadly, it was extraordinarily lame.  He was touring with London's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and the orchestra was the bulk of the music.  He still had longtime guitarist Dominic Miller with him, playing all acoustic, but I mean....it was all acoustic, and there was no drums, bass, or keys. 

An orchestral version of Sting's career was not/is not really high on my list, but I went because somebody gave me a ticket and he's one of my faves I'd always wanted to see. 

Had a chance to see him in 95 or 96 for the Mercury Falling tour and I let something dumb that came up cancel it.  Really wish I hadn't done that.

Only concert I ever wanted to leave. I was with some friends who were enraptured, though, and I got stuck.
Sting played somewhere in Houston. Annie Lennox opened, and she was absolutely spellbinding.

Sting came on and was such a hackneyed pretentious $*!@#% that I got bored with it instantly. Rough, because Stewart Copeland is one of my idols. I grew up an Alex Van Halen, straight ahead kit bashing for all I was worth, and have  been working to incorporate Stewart's finesse game into my soul.

Hmm, which tour did you see Sting?

I saw him three times, for all of his first three solo tours in '85, '87, and '91.  The first two were amazing, back when he had Branford Marsalis as the head of his combo.  Just unreal.

The third, was just okay.  He just had some ordinary rock band combo behind him.  Maybe some doowap singers, but not nearly as much soul as his first two tours.  Which is odd because the name of that 3rd album was "Soul Cages."

The Soul Cages album was born out of a lot of personal pain and intentional change of direction in music to reflect that.  Both Sting's parents passed between the time Nothing Like The Sun was released and Soul Cages was recorded.  The relationship with his dad wasn't the best, and those themes are fleshed out in tracks like Why Should I Cry For You.  The songs themselves were just darker and totally different than the first two albums, so it probably wouldn't make sense to try to infuse that with the same "soul" the first albums' songs allowed for.  That was also the point when Sting went back to being his own bassist, which meant changing out Daryl Jones (or Jackson?) on bass and bringing in Dominic Miller on guitar....definitely no ordinary rock guitarist, but certainly changing the sound.  The drummer and keyboard player remained the same from second tour (first and second tours/albums had different drummers).  I think Branford Marsalis maybe didn't do that tour, but he was definitely on the album. 

The live recording of his first solo tour, titled "Bring On The Night" is one of my favorite live albums to this day.  But my favorite "Sting lineup" came with the Ten Summoner's Tales album/tour, where he traded out Kenny Kirkland for David Sanctious on keys and started a several years long colab with Vinnie Colaiuta on drums.  I have quite a few high quality bootleg live shows from those days, and they're amazing.  Various recordings is really the only thing I can speak to when it comes to those tours, since I obviously didn't get to go.  

I think maybe Tulip gets confused on "hackneyed pretentious $*!@#%" and just being British.

This tour was in the early 2000's that I remember. He mostly stood in the center of the stage making bass face and expected everyone to swoon at his intense sexual magnetism. He brought on a really awesome female singer for a few numbers. I really thought she should have headlined. 
He kept the opening to "Roxanne" going for like 10 minutes. Acted like it was our privilege to witness it.

Yeah Branford definitely didn't tour with him on Soul Cages.  I didn't love that CD and the show was pretty "meh" for me.  At that point he seemed to pass into the adult contemporary world and fell off my radar.

But those first two solo albums and tours were something special IMO.  Every bit as good as Joshua Tree and the tour that followed it.  All are still up in my top 15 shows I've ever seen, even more than 30 years later.

His loss ;)

I have a mentor/buddy in the Nola area who studied under Branford and Wynton's father, Ellis Marsalis, at NOCCA (New Orleans Center for Creative Arts).  He was the first guy I ever gigged with who was not a run-of-the-mill guy talented at rock, pop, etc., and who could do more than just hack his way through non-American genres.  I vividly recall sitting down to practice with him one time and he started playing kind of a Latino thing and I thought "Ok, cool, I can hack my way through some Tejano."  After I joined in he just quit and shook his head and said "No, no, no.....I'm playing a well known Brazilian thing, and you're playing an Afro-Cuban beat which would be very offensive in that context."  I looked at him dumbly and said "I guess I didn't know there's a difference."  He shook his head some more and proceeded to try to explain to me the difference between Mexican beats, Brazilian ones, Cuban ones, African ones, a bunch....and how a knowledgeable drummer does not conflate them.

Sucka.  His obvious mistake was "knowledgeable drummer."

I have a fascination with Soca music. When I start the description of "ya see, the basic beat does this, 'Bum--ba-dum-ba" thing whereas reggaeton has more of a 'bum-baba-bum-ba" feel, she looks past me and goes, "uh, huh". 
I know there's a difference. I couldn't demonstrate, identify, nor tell you what makes each of them unique. All the islands in the Caribbean, the South and Central American countries, and the coast of Africa all have their flavors colored by their heritage (I never knew Merengue was native to the Dominican Republic).

Thank Heaven Lalo Schifron didnt feel the same way

I'm just mad I struggled so much with it.  I learned to feel other "odd times" such as 7/8 very well to where I could play them without thinking about it much.  Many people have done cool things with 5/4, but try as I might, I could never "feel" it and I had to count internally the entire time if I was gonna try it, and even then I was asking for screw-ups.  I don't believe I ever performed anything in 5/4.....practice only, and it never got to a point I would've tried it in public.  Not that it comes up enough for someone to have needed me to do it.  

The Mission Impossible theme was okay if I concentrated on the low-end hook and ignore the melody and didn't try to embellish anything.  The only other 5/4 song I can think of I ever had any moderate success practicing was Steve Lukather's "Carol of the Bells," because the main recurring chorus makes a hook that's relatively easy to fall into and not have to constantly think about.  But the verses where the main theme goes away, and even the end where the main theme is there but the drums are soloing over it.....killed me.  The drum stuff was hard enough if it had been in 4/4.  Trying to do it in 5/4 just frustrated my tiny Cajun brain.  

Since it's Christmas time and now I'm thinking about it, here it is so you can see what I'm talking about, on the off-chance you care.

Most 5/4 pieces I ever played, had some driving reason for that time signature, so the rhythm felt natural within the piece.  Some emphasize the 1.  Some emphasize the 5.  Many emphasize the 1 and the 4 or the 1 and both 4-5, which could also be written as alternating 3/4,2/4 or alternating 3/2,2/2.  But that gets messy. 

If there's no natural rhythm within the piece based upon the time signature, then the time signature itself doesn't really matter at all.  You could write the piece in 1,200/4 and it would make just as much sense.

I always liked seeing Rush's music transcribed.  They'd sometimes go through 5 different time signatures in as many measures.  It's crazy how tight that band always was, given the complexity of the music.

If there's no natural rhythm within the piece based upon the time signature, then the time signature itself doesn't really matter at all.  You could write the piece in 1,200/4 and it would make just as much sense.

Right, but in the more common times (3, 4, 6) the feel of the rhythm remains even if you get outside the musical cadence that drives it.  Which is what frequently happens if you want to sprinkle any pizazz on the drums and not just keep time the whole way.  Whatever limb I go out on in those time signatures, my internal time always has me grounded in where I am in the measure, which is important for sticking the landing when I want to play something extra and still fall back in with the band where I need to. 

In 5/4, if I step outside shadowing whatever hook is driving the 5/4 feel, it's internal chaos unless I actively count through it, and even then it's dicey for me because under the best of circumstances I relied on feel far more than I was used to counting.  This probably didn't matter as much when I was in band and played set parts to sheet music.  Set parts meant no deviation and sheet music gave me one thing at a time to focus on with a conductor up front telling me exactly how long that particular note should last.  In set drumming in band contexts.....I just really struggled with 5/4.  A lot of guys do, so I'm not alone there, but it is something to see these guys who can genuinely feel it and just go nuts in 5 and never lose where they are. 

Incidentally, that kind of thing is scattered all throughout Sting's first few solo albums.  Lots of odd times sprinkled in there, and again, the ones in 7 I can feel without thinking about it.  The ones in 5 have these little parts where the drummer does something seemingly simple, but if I tried it, I'm asking for trouble.  Quite oddly, imo, there's a song on the Mercury Falling album that's in 9/8, but sort of phrased like alternating measures of 5/4 and 4/4.  You'd think that as much trouble as I have with 5, the problem would compound when the time signature constantly switches.  But for some reason, I found that one very easy to play along to and even embellish and solo over.  No idea why.  My tiny Cajun brain does what it does.  OTOH, my first introduction to such a thing was a Toto song in 9/8 that I never could get.  The song itself drives the 9/8 time, as you say, but it's so weird and disjointed that I just couldn't get it.  The 4/4 and 7/8 parts.....no problem.  But it starts and ends with that 9/8, and just....neaux.

I learned 5/4 mostly through playing "When Your Mind's Made Up" from the musical "Once". Playing cello onstage, carrying it from spot to spot, bowing standing up. Mostly, I felt it as two dotted quarters and two quarters. If I considered it as a 3/4 and 2/4, both conducted in 1, I could keep it straight against the guitarist. This on the advice of our music director - a friend of mine who's an actual, studied percussionist, instead of the "make it up as I think it should sound" type that I am.

I've seen Once twice, such a great modern musical.

I especially love how it's a small, personal story, rather than being some grand epic tale like so many playwrights and artists think they have to tell, in the musical theater format.

I'm not so big into musicals. They're just popular on stage, and since I'm equally mediocre on a lot of instruments, I get opportunities. 
"Once" was really a lot of fun! Great cast, great musicians. Lots of work since the music had to be memorized (couldn't bring stands on stage). I played the bank manager. I sang one song "Abandoned in Bandon", while playing acoustic guitar. Perfect, since my character was supposed to be a lousy singer.

About 10 years ago, at the HS where I taught, our Drama department put on a production of The Three Musketeers (not a musical). There were some innovations. D'Artagnan's servant being his sister who stole away from home to join him was one. Another was that part of the audience was onstage, and the action (as in swordfights) took place around those onstage spectators, including my esposita and me.

We did that version of "3 Musketeers" in 2018 or so. I got to play like 5 different characters (no real "name" ones - just a host of disposable bad guys, including Richileau's hitman). 
The fun thing was learning swordsmanship. We got rapiers and parrying daggers. The first 3 weeks of rehearsal were almost exclusively sword play. You had to get your fights down PERFECT because you couldn't "pull" a sword movement. If it was supposed to be able to hit your partner, it had to be on-line and directly at him. Reason why? If you swung off-line (to the side), the partner had to block wide. As the blocks got bigger and bigger, you increased the chance of a missed block and injury.
I wore volleyball knee pads under my costumes. You can stagger around when you die being shot. When you're stabbed, you pretty much gotta die straight down. Took a toll on my knees.

That's synthtastic!  And that's back before MIDI and digital synths.  That guy was probably creating all that off various analog synths, and multi-tracked to analog tape, which requires real audio engineering skills, not just this digital point-and-click we do today. 

Something interesting to me is how 80's synth sounds have made their way back....into Praise and Worship music.  It's not prominent and up-front in the mix like 80's music, but a lot of the songs have it in there, behind the guitars and keys, etc.  Me and another guy create synth tracks for the worship team at our church to duplicate the album stuff.  I used to play them live, but actually doing live music in church is cumbersome, so we just make tracks that play behind the rest of the band. 

It's all point-and-click, never worry about channel space or playing badly....just point and click and do it again.  Or just play anything and then point, click and drag stuff around until it sounds the way you meant it to.  Skill is nice, but optional.  And if you can't create the sound you want, you can usually find something online to buy that you just download and use.  Guys like this who did Miami Vice had to know what they were doing, and be very quick and efficient with it. 

Oddly, I hated synth-driven music growing up.  Now I like it.

At the true root, is Wendy Carlos demonstrating Walter Moog's invention:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SBDH5uhs4Q

If you've ever wondered why synths historically create sounds using "bank" and "patch" terminology (I know all y'all have), this is where it came from. A sounds waveform, as well as the Attack Sustain Decay Release envelopes, were built up from basic wave oscillator banks that were then "patched" to one another using TRS cables.

Once she's done mixing, you get "TRON":

This is correct, but the cool kids call it ADSR.  You don't want to be the dork who spells out Attack, Decay, Sustain & Release.  But you do need to know what they are and how they work, because most of the envelope labels in digital synths and even modern analogs only label with the single letter.

Yep, but I figgered most posters wouldn't recognize ADSR and it'd just make me sound like a hi-falutin' music snob. =)

In reality, the days in my youth when I got free reign over my half-brother's Roland Juno-60 let me in on the world of waveforms and how music happens the way it does. Of course, in those days, I'd then hafta ride my bike over to the library and get books on what it all meant. I'd tie an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.

Helps immensely putting guitar pedals in order. They do a thing to the signal. Those things are cumulative. If it happens to a sine wave, it happens to all waves.

I believe one of the old Juno's is what Johnathan Cain (Journey) used to make the keyboard intro to "Separate Ways."  

.....which is what I spent half my time doing last Saturday morning, using one of Logic Pro's digital synths to recreate that sound, instead of working on the church's music like I was supposed to.  

I can't be blamed for that.  Priorities.  If you claim to work with synths and you don't have VH's "Jump" and the Separate Ways one, you have nothing :)

I don't know much about a-ha outside of that song, but I always thought that guy was an underrated vocalist.  He hits some pretty high notes in full voice.  Fine, so did a lot of guys in the 80's.  But he also hits some pretty low notes in that song....lower than the average 80's singer whose range was up in the rafters could go.  Dude has/had a pretty impressive vocal range, I always thought.

Yeah I liked them pretty well-- well enough to have bought their first couple of albums, anyway. The other big hit off their first album was "The Sun Always Shines On TV" and then my favorite from their second album was called "Manhattan Skyline."

If possible, Sun Always Shines is even more a-ha than Take On Me ever was...

Roland's Juno line were budget, single oscillator versions of "real" touring keyboards like the Prophet-5. Both models were right there at the end of the "analog" keyboard world right before Fairlight and SynClavier debuted their digital ones that included sampling and graphics. Of course, they also cost more than the studios that held them.

Right now, the damned Rolands cost more than they originally did! There's a resurgence in synthwave and the recreation of those late 70's/early 80's sounds.

Oh wow, they sure do.  My brother played keyboards in an 80s frat party band, and he had a Roland Juno 106.  I'm not sure how he afforded it new, probably blew his rent money on it and ended up living back with our parents, but it was sweeet at the time.

I think he pawned it in the early 90s for maybe 400 bucks or something.  I don't dare tell him what they cost now, he'd be sick over it...

I believe one of the old Juno's is what Johnathan Cain (Journey) used to make the keyboard intro to "Separate Ways." 

Poop......now I'm thinking it was a Jupiter, not a Juno.  It was one of the J names, I'm sure, but totally can't remember which.

Edie Brickell is the woman in the video.  She's a singer/songwriter from Dallas from the 80s/90s with some relative fame of her own, but most notably she's married to Paul Simon.

"What I Am" was her big hit (I'm not aware of too many things / I know what I know, if ya know what I mean / Do Ya?).

Edie and Steve were the writers and inspiration (more or less) behind the musical "Bright Star". It's a semi-true story centering on the "Iron Mountain Baby" tale.

I was honored to perform Waco Civic's version on the stage several years ago. I was the lawyer.

Wanna say I saw the Old 97's open for Joe Ely at Stubb's. Ely was playing his "Letters to Laredo" stuff.

I'm a fan but have never seen them live.

I have seen Joe Ely, down on Auditorium Shores for some free concert or another back in the day.  Definitely a talented dude.

Prolly the only decent song on a crappy album maybe Draw the Line to. Nowhere near Aerosmith/Get Your Wings/Toys in The Attic or Rocks.

This one had all the tight vocal harmonies (a capella as well), a groove that borders on funk, and a screaming bass line.
