Libby, at least give me "Traffic" LOL! 🙂 And I loved Mad Dogs and Englishmen, The movie was great!
Susie, I've stood twice in my life (once even on a Dec 8th) at the entrance to the Dakota and wondered why....
I still wonder why.
Feeling Alright was indeed written by Dave Mason. I like Joe Cocker's cover best, Warren's isn't too shabby either. 😉
Speaking of Joe Cocker, I just ran across something interesting. Mad Dogs and Englishmen has been remastered and was released on DVD October 18th.
Time to make my Christmas wish list! Ho Ho Ho!
Hi Charlesinator. It's a wonder how any of our brains can retain ALL of this music knowledge. It was Winwood, but covered by many and used in movies. 🙂 I like his version best.
I thought it was Dave Mason.
Great tune "Feelin' Allright" Hemi. Steve Winwood wrote it, excellent.
Gotta wish a happy b-day to Donna. But more importantly I have to tell you that Susan was amazing last night. Unlike the HOB show earlier this year she put down the guitar and really belted out a couple of songs. The entire wshow was filemed by what looked like 4 cameras. Teh keyboard palyer was acting like a full on ham and I think it took away from what was being done. Randall Bramlett and the sax player sounded good. Susan commented that she was playing more of her new album than previously played.
Unfortunatly tonights show was cancelled.
Go USC.. sheep and brent are at the game tonight.
Peace and love--scotty
...or there's this one......"All we are saying, is Give Peace a Chance" (25 yrs. ago on Dec 8, the 'dream was over')
Just remebering those in the war zone having Thanksgiving without loved ones.....
Now I don't mind, I'm chopping wood
And I don't care if the money's no good
Just take what you need and leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best
Hey, that's pretty cool- Donna Hopkins and my wife share the same birthday! Happy birthday Donna!
Hope everyone's havin' a good weekend!
There was a Jimi offer?
Jimi offer now closed---Thanks.
Thanks Jack. Kinda healthy discussion wasn't it?
Hi Everyone,
Tyler, glad to see you back up and running-your post got a good discussion going and helped move us from some of the negative recent posts-thanks. It is always how you say things-especially in cyberspace.
Hey Suzie-imagine rookie of the year nominee after your splashy beginning! LOL Great to see you. You always have a wide musical background.
Hemi-what was that last song?
Lamdog: check IM 🙂
OK.............
All this talk of Jimi this, and Jimi that, got me thinking of a great show that I rcvd from Chitown. Repeat the word 'Great'. I usually don't do this on the GB but it is a beautiful day today, I am alive, just got off the phone talking to Chitown asking his blessing.
Feb 1969.
I was a snot nose kid only a few months from watching Apollo 11 blast off from Florida. I sat on top of the roof of my uncle's car where he had parked it near the beach. I never saw a light so bright!-- except maybe a welder's torch! I watched the spacecraft as it rose through the sky and was lost to my vision. I have never forgotten that moment.
That is my shared memory.......Now, here is another one for the ages...

Next 5 (five) to PM me with their addy get this show. Jimi at his best.
Caught an outstanding U2 show last night in Atlanta. We were third row right behind/beside their open stage. Like the ABB, their catalogue is so big that you are bound to not hear a personal favorite (for me "Bad" go skipped), but their music is much more powerful live. Their last 2 albums particularly so. Wish they'd record the way they play 'em live. They put in a good 2 hours 15 minutes. Not sure I've ever seen a crowd more into the music. The floor was full of people who clearly are passionate about U2.
Only my second time ever seeing them. Last one was in 1987. Their more techno type tours in the 90s didn't do it for me, but they've returned to their rock roots which suits me perfectly. Fun night.
Did see/waive Willie Howard, Barb & Greg P who were at Ted's before theMule show. We were just in for a brief minute. Got to chat with Patrick Crenshaw, who is always smiling and fun to run into.
Next up for me is the DTB and Susan T on 12/30.
Tim
Anbody that can play Little Martha on a water faucet is ok with me :bounce:
:dance:
It's my great pleasure today to wish the Happiest Birthday ever to our special Hittin' the Web sister, the incredibly talented Donna Hopkins!
If you have a minute, stop on over to Donna's site and wish her a happy birthday in her Guest Book.
My personal opinion on Jimi Hendrix is that a lot of his acclaim, or a what makes him memorable or exceptional is his innovativeness. He had great licks, but in my opinion his chops weren't up there with either Duane or (vintage) Dickey.
Hendrix played the amplifier as much as he played the guitar. I've gotten into trouble here before for saying that Hendrix borrowed some of his technique from Eric Clapton - especially when it comes to playing with feedback and distortion. I stick to that assessment.
I believe that the three most innovative guitarists (in the electric sense) have been Les Paul, Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix. Duane probably comes in a very close fourth on that list, but I think he outshines them all when it comes to licks.
Just the rantings of an idiot who's consumed too much coffee on a Saturday morning. 😉
