what music are you TTing with?

“Good stuff, Tilt!

I'm listening to Lowell George and Little Feat! "Waiting For Columbus"

'Cause there's a fat man,

in the bathtub...”

“Got some new Jay Farrar on now.

This guy keeps gettin better and better.”

“Feets don't fail me now!
Dixie Chicken!”

“Some guy’s car stereo about a block away. All I can hear is boom, boom, boom.”

“That's on there too, Stovie! What a great album...”

“Jack Johnsnon”

“LZ, that's good, that way he won't hear you as you are sneaking up behind him...”

“Too many witnesses, I'd never get away with it.”

“Beauty.


"Southern Pacific" always reminds me of a car I once knew. It was owned by one of my mother's friends who lived down the block, and she let me borrow it from time to time: a white 1970 Coupe de Ville convertible named 'Snowflake'.

I called it 'Moby Dick' LOL.... it was like driving a convertible Winnebago. I'd crank it up and punch in the Neil Young cassette... That steam whistle would blow and we'd roll down the highway.”

“I never said it was a perfect plan...”

“StoveStomper, Treebeard, glad to find some other Little Feat fans. Oh how I miss Lowell. I'm so glad I didn't miss my one chance to see them. Bonnie Raitt opened, yee ha!”

“lumberzac, I didn't realize my system was so loud, sorry to distrub you”

“Pekka, he was awesome. Underrated by a lot of folks too, IMO...

I saw them without him, though. Paul Barrere sang lead, I believe. Really good show, BTW. But, the main man was definitely missing...”

“I hadn't realized Craig Lee Fuller had joined Little Feat later.
He put out the first two great Pure Prairie League ablums in the early 70's. I believe he was in American Flyer also.”

“I wasn't aware of that either, SS...

I saw the Feat in, I believe, around 1980. it wasn't too long after his death...”

“I saw them 1976. Saw Pure Prairie League about 79. Wish I could travel back in time and see the Flying Burrito Brothers.”

“This thread got me to web searching Little Feat and Pure Prairie League info.
Any of you guys got any American Flyer?
Might have to do some horse trading or CD burning if you do.”

“No, I don't own any of that, SS.

Pek, you saw LF at a prime time, man!

And the Burrito Brothers. Dang, I don't even remember the last time I heard them!”

“I have about 400 albums and CDs. Mostly 70's stuff.
What I need is to figure out a good way to burn CDs from my vinyl albums.”

“The best part was when Bonnie Raitt came back out and did backing vocals and slide guitar duets with Lowell.”

“I have been thinking the same thing, SS. I accumulated over a thousand on vinyl alone. The thought of the tedium of putting them on CD is nauseating. But, it should be done eventually. As it is, I have three turntables, so I am not lacking for a way to play them...”

“The the
Voilent Femmes
Ride”

“Yea, I hear you. I broke down and bought a pro turntable about three years ago. I think I have played 3 records on it since.
CDs ruined me for vinyl.”

“Buffalo Springfield here.

But speaking of Little Feat, didn't Emmy Lou Harris join in on an album or two way back?”

“Emmy Lou Harris covered Oh Atlanta on her Evangeline album.

She was a backup singer on Little Feat's Feats Don't Fail Me Now album.”

“Korn”

“ss, i have an american flyer --
"please dont cry....spirit of a woman...i am blinded by desire..." what a great song...and album too...
i have some sort of wire hooked up to my computer from my stereo (dont ask me to name it, my son hooked it up) and I have been able to burn cds from cassettes...should be able to do the same with vinyl...if so, i will make you an american flyer cd

at the moment, i am tt-ng to mark Knopflers arrangement of the soundtrack to Princess Bride...Storybook love is the cut..mark is killing me, as usual
....but in about two mouse clicks i will no longer be TTing, rather..HTing outside and by then the moody blues...legend of a band will be the selection...
ahh..the stars, the bubbles ...the moody blues....
mark knopfler kills me and the moody blues welcome me into the heavens~~~ jai~”

“Richard X/Deborah Evans-Stickland on cable music Electronica channel.

I've got about 400 albums in crates in my closet and no turntable anymore. Wife wants to ditch them or donate them. I just can't let them go yet.”

“Currently spinning...

Peter Tosh - Legalize It

This CD is a subliminal mind-ride back to my impetuous and borderline self-destructive past. Youth is often wasted on the young. ;-)

I feel some Israel Vibration coming on soon. Reggae moods must be properly fed, after all.

Ordin”

“youth is wasted on the young,

truer words never spoken”

“Great CD, Ordin. There are just days when you need to return to that mood and rhythm, and Tosh gets you there quickly.”

“man dood, neil young was one of the people who influenced me bigtime when i first started getting into playing guitar. along with the band "america". i collected anything i could find by them and at one time could play and sing(not as well as young, of corse) most anything he/they did, by heart. i've seen him several times live and if you never have, i highly reccomend it. he's like a musical machine when he's up there alone....seeing him the first time just blew me away ....it helped me improve so much on guitar...the way he gets totally absorbed in the music...part of the sound. it's hard to explain to someone who's not a musician, but it's really what performing is all about.... for me personally, this "concept" i'm trying(inadequetly) to explain is the reason i love to play and perform so much. it's "the rush"..."the high"....being part of the music, making the sound, feeling the emotion of a song. my wife sometimes says..."you just wanna be a rock star, so all the girls will fall all over you". nothing could be farthur from the truth. it's all about the music. getting completely wrapped up in the sound at any given second. eventually my style drifted into a much stronger blues style but i still love NY and america too.

anyways, i digress, as usual...

thanks for the NY lyrics, i'd forgotten that one.

some of my favorite NY songs are;
sugar mountain
love is a rose
old man
heart of gold
hey hey, my my
down by the river
cinnimin girl
all in a dream”

“Classical Gas - Mason Williams I think. Used to be a musician on the Smothers Brothers show. Also the band he used to play with became Manhein Steamroller, currently known for Christmas music.”

“For Sure, Strat. Funny thing you should mention America --- I've recently been trying to work out "Don't Cross The River"... off and on. Lotsa chords in that mofo!


And Mason Williams... What a nut!


Them Clod-Busters

How 'bout them clod-busters,
Ain't they neat;
Bust'n them clods flat,
With they feets.

Stomp'n them big clods,
Bust'n them little;
Mash'n them dirt clods,
In they middle.

Look at them clod-busters,
Have'n lots of fun;
Kick'n ever dirty clod,
Stomp'n on the run.

How to be a clod-buster,
Fix'n fields to sow;
Just find ya-self a dirt clod,
And bust it with ya toe!


He was also famous for doing weird stuff like the book that unfolded to become a lifesize photo of a Greyhound bus (currently out of print, LOL).”

“I was packing up my albums yesterday to put in storage till I move. I had forgotten how many I had. I need to check my turntable out and see if it still works.
I ran across one album just called Winwood. I think it was an unauthorized album some record company put out that was eventually pulled from the stores.”

“I think I have that one, Ewker. It's a compilation, right? Winwood is written along the side from bottom to top and it's a brownish, tannish color. Double LP with Spencer Davis and Traffic tracks on it. Is that what you have?”

“Tree, that is it. I emailed Winwood's website asking about that album. Not sure why kind of response I will get. I know I have looked at every web site and no one even mentions this one”

“Let me know what they say. I also have one of Woody Allen's stand-up stuff (double LP) that must have been put out by the same people. It has the same format in the way the cover is done...”

“BTW, that Winwood album is a great compilation!”

“pekka, don't throw away your vinyl records.

When I got the turntable fixed a few years ago and played some records I was struck by the depth of the sound compared to CD's.

Now all I need is a tube stereo amplifier to get "real" organic sound.”

“anyone remember Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks or Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen. Going through those albums brought back to many memories, good and bad!!”

“Save the turntables!!!!!”

“I haven't used my turntable in yrs. I need to see if it still works. If not it will get fixed if I can find a place to fix it.”

“Hot Licks, Cold Steel and Truckers Favorites......hmmmmmm?

Mama Hated Diesels

Bill Kerchen + Telecaster = Hot Licks”

“Not to be confused with Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks.”

“Renaissance:

In The Land Of The Rising Sun
Scheherazade & Other Stories”

“Got the Pogues on now, damn IPODs are nice!”
