♪ "Feel Good Music" ♫

Next to Jethro Tull at Red Rocks (just outside of Morrison, CO), back in the '70's (of the 19s),
the best concert I can imagine today . . .
Would be Jen Chapin, as an opening act,
for Trout Fishing in America at The Blue Door . . .
(in OKC!) (without riots and thugs!)



Of course, "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now". =)
(as were the troubadors ^. =)

Believe it or not. That wish could come true. =)

I'm a Pink Floyd fan. I've had some students who wanted to learn the
bass lines of Roger Waters. I wish I would have kept all of the lines I've
transcribed during lessons.

I should write a book.

I'm also a Jethro Tull and Yes fan. I'm not sure how many of their
concerts I've seen. I did see Yes back up Jethro Tull at the Civic
Center in 1969 or 70. Talk about a mind boggling concert. Probably
the most incredible concert I've ever attended.

Duh... I have many students playing all over the world. Seriously.
They are playing in major orchestras, jazz ensembles and rock bands.
Teaching my gift to youngsters is far more important than anything I
have to offer except Salvation in Jesus Christ.

Odd that I've never had a student or parent complain about my
teaching. Can anyone explain this?

Running a few errands this evening, prior to the Ice Apocalypse, I tapped the button to KOSU on the radio. The Spy was on and some program I'd never heard of before was being aired. This was what was playing. It was so good (in my opinion) that I did a little research and came up with this. It sounded to me like what might result from a merger of The B-52s and Blondie (with a trace of Zappa). What really got me was the killer bass.



The host of the show got back to me with the name of the cut and the band within minutes of my requesting it.
This is yet another reason why I love Public Radio--even in OKC.

And to think that I thought the only good thing to come out of Australia back about that time was Men At Work . . .

Uptight and Outta Sight . . . Thanks.
(I've been told that James Brown was a harsh taskmaster in term of musical perfection on the part of his combo. And I'm glad that he was.)

Edited to Add: I left out David Byrne and The Talking Heads in my reason for liking that unknown Aussie Band resurrected by an obscure radio station in OKC. =)

Pretty good for just another guitar picker . . . =)

Would have loved to seen him while he was alive in his glory days. He had the voice of an angel
