The U S residents of the dust bowl states that had lost everything! https://daily.jstor.org/how-the-lapd-guarded-californias-borders-in-the-1930s/ Yes, I also play Woody and Arlo music in my garage.

Pfeil Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I prefer the uplifting to the tear down songs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank DuVal Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 ??? Protest songs ARE uplifting! Signs of things getting better instead of worse. If flaws are not pointed out, then there will be no getting better. Same as having a points judging system in the AACA. That Lee Greenwood song was a protest song against terrorism that happened on our land. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John348 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I always liked the Brent era (Stadium era) of the Dead, maybe because I went to a lot of those shows back in the day. But I enjoy listening to those shows when I am down in the shop messing around 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Mack_CT Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 As they say, you may be cool, but not as cool as Dick Dale! Why, well consider this guy spent his career playing on right handed guitars left handed, upside down, transposing chords in his head. Dick also played the drums, brass instruments and the piano. Of course he is best known for inventing surf music. Today I am getting inspired to make some adjustments to the A roadster... Upside 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bloom Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 10 hours ago, Xander Wildeisen said: Xander, a great tune. About 5 years ago, I’m back in my little hometown, Frankfort Indiana, as they have a banquet and Introduction of the the town’s inaugural event naming 10 individuals to the Frankfort “Hall of Fame”. I’m there to show some love and support to my best friend since 3rd grade who is going in as one of the 10. Will Geer (grandpa Walton) is selected as one also, his family accepted in his honor (an eccentric dude), and one of the 10 was Kyle Cook from Matchbox 20. He is about 10 years younger than me and I did not know him growing up. My friend and I spent quite a bit of time visiting with kyle at the event. He is a really good guy and I became a little more of a fan of their music after meeting him and knowing he was a townie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Match Box 20 has a bunch of good songs. Fun listening to the music people post, a lot of songs and artists I have never heard before. Always good to have music playing in the background. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsailer Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Lot's of good stuff here. I listen to a lot of well know songs, but I also like to dig for gold, so I thought I'd post a few of (what I think) are lesser well-known songs on my recent play list: Luther Harris: Black Feeling Whatever Happened to Gus: Medeski, Martin & Wood Shuggie Otis: Inspiration Information Air: Kelly Watch the Stars Hugh Masekela: The Boy's Doin' it Little Jr Jess & His Teardrops: Funky Stuff Grant Green: Hey Western Union Man Corduroy: Long Cool & Bubbly Jukka Eskola: Jova Darando: Didn't I Eddie Roberts: Easin' Down Kraak & Smaak: Squeeze Me Andrew Williams: Do It Cymande: Bra Nick Drake: Pink Moon There is so much great unknown music out there. You could spend your life trying to find it all. Cheers! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yobudal Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) Oh, garage music brings back some nostalgic vibes! 🎶 I remember jamming out to those tunes in my younger days. It's amazing how it still has a special place in my heart. But hey, did you guys know that some garage bands are making a comeback on Spotify? It's incredible how you can buy spotify plays and show your support by boosting their numbers!

A small scattering of names include Dylan, Baez, Phil Ochs, Judy Collins, Richie Havens, Pete Seeger, I am not much for music in the background. I went through a period where I sought out instrumental versions of songs and then pretty much just stopped listening. However Pete Seeger does have a presence on my man door. In the early 1990s I bought a 1956 Olds Holiday 88 that had one of Pete's Save the River bumper stickers. It was verified by the previous owner.

Scott Bonesteel Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Lots of different types, from rock n roll to classical, but my favorite is still 'The Best of Sam and Dave'. Just the right mix of mellow and R&B to keep me working. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank DuVal Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Quiet? Nope, then I get to hear the voices in my head!😁 Actually the noise in my head from Tinnitus. So I always have music on in the garage. WTJU usually. UVa station plays a wide variety of music. The local stations and even Sirus radio keep playing the same 50 songs over and over (50 songs of each genre) with a few others now and then. Booring. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
