Something to Take Our Minds off of Our Current Situation.....

How about .... New Riders Of The Purple Sage... specifically "Panama Red"

Classic!

I remember Panama Red, that was back in the days of Acapulco Gold and Purple Flats! Of course prior to that time there was the Age of Innocence in America. RAY

Ricky sang a lot of songs quite good.
Shame he died so young.
Had a Great voice---Didn't need loud "Noise" to drown it out like most "modern" Songs (Noise).

Doesn't seem like Great voices are wanted any more.

Most of the "hit" songs today are written by two guys; one named Martin and a guy with a Swedish name. A lot of the lyrics repeat and they use a specific beat. So boring.

An interesting side note of Austrailan-based singer/songwriter Megan Washington is that she is a stutterer, except when she's singing!

Yeah, no kidding John, I guess we're just too old to fully appreciate rap, I hate it. Guy like Sinatra, Dean Martin, Ray Price knew how to carry a note, Elvis too. Hell, I could rap, starting heavy construction at the age of 17 I learned how to swear fairly well. RAY

reminds me of Mel Tillis ...

reminds me of Mel Tillis ...

That's it---I couldn't think of his name. Thanks Keith !!
When somebody said "Sings & Stutters", I remembered Mel Tillis from one time I saw him on "The Fishing' Hole", but his name eluded me!!

Jerry McKinnis was actually co owner of Bassmater magazine, which I still subscribe to.

I believe Jerry M. was actually a Pro Ball-player from St Louis, before he became a Fishing Program Star. You get a line & I'll get a pole-----------

Ya'll mind if I stick my head in the down and reference a few? I see some do albums (showing my age here at least I didn't say 8-tracks), some reference groups and some reference songs.

Lets see what I can stir up.


Beach Boys, all California dreaming the place every , every red blooded American boy wanted to be to find one of those hot beach babes! The Drifters, Sam Cooke, Jacky Wilson, Jan & Dean, Righteous bros, Buddy Holly, OMG I forgot ZZ!!!!
Then was the soul era; Gaye, Temptations, Rascals, Smokey Robinson, Franklin, Procol Harem,
Then the college years; Chicago Transit Authority, Jefferson Airplane, Byrds and the Dirt Band, college was sweet.
John Prine's first album in its entirety, all about our second place finish in the 1st annual SE Asia war games. Unbelievable music, perfect timing, required play time in all ll quonset hut barracks nightly.
Crosby Still Nash and Young, what ever happened to Nash?
The Beatles and CCR, the only band to have gazillion top hits and never get a number 1, someone always topped 'em. Seal & Croft, Carlos Santana, Dwayne Alleman, Leo Kottke
Gary Moore the sweetest blues you ever heard, he topped Eric Clapton and Eric Johnson (the guitarist who was reputed to have such an ear as to tell the difference in the type batteries in his foot petal).
Then the redneck years with Skynyrd, Thorogood, MMMurphy, McEuen, Daniels, Clark, Travis, Willie, Hank Jr., Reba, etc....

I'll stop before entering into the realm of classical which I definitely enjoy also.

I think you hit the nail on the head, Foam, whether you realized it or not. There were too many good groups from that era to count. There is still some good music coming out today but you have to look for it...
Yes, I had a shoebox full of 8 tracks (I think I wore out Huey Lewis and the News) in the back seat :-)

I'm going to check out the Jimmy Buffett concert @8pm. My first Buffett concert in 2000 or 2001? Our bus burned down on the way to Camden NJ. We stopped at the Allentown service plaza to meet with another bus tour group. The driver forgot to release the back brakes and the tires caught on fire, charring the hole bus.

Bus was destroyed but the beer was cold...needless to say we arrived a bit late. I'll see if I can dig up some pictures.

Also been listening to a lot of Son Volt lately.

Leon Redbone. What an interesting character. Saw him in a small theater on Nashville campus late 70s. Overhead lighting, Panama hat. Never saw his face for the entire concert.
