Pfeil Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Wiping down one of my cars in the garage and dreaming of Brigitte Bardot on a boat sun tanning out in front of the city of Nice on the French Riviera and listening to the maestro of class playing a great song. Henry Mancini - Lujon - YouTube I think I'll have another cocktail now. Edited March 15, 2021 by Pfeil (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAKerry Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I will go back to my statement that I inherited music from my older siblings. I was more than likely the only kid in the 6th grade that had every Grateful Dead album (In the 5th grade I wore out Love it to Death-Alice Cooper). Never been to a concert, never had the desire to do so. I checked out with them on 'Go to Heaven' maybe? Its been awhile since I have seen the album. Preferred the earlier stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I serviced his 1972 Chevy back in the mid 80's. It was a rat. His house has all his old cars, trucks, and tour busses out back. Nice guy.

Sirius XM and many radio stations are very interesting and I made a bit of study on them. If you listen to XM and you dial in say 60's music, or you have a radio station that plays 60's music you actually get music from a play list, and that play list only plays a fraction of the popular songs of a particular decade. I challenge anyone to see for themselves that they are NOT hearing or the station is not representing the music of that era correctly. You can look up the top 40 or top 100 tunes of any given month X12 and year and compare what they are playing you will see what I mean. And they play that same short play list over and over.

George Cole Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Eventually you will all get old enough to hear the music in your head. I guess it happens at different ages for different people. No idea where it's coming from, but it's there and it's different song/songs every day playing continuously. Some of it will be songs you haven't heard in 60 years, but within the first several notes, you'll remember the words. But then it keeps playing over and over and over throughout the day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Funny thing with music and old people. Even after you have Alzheimer's and ar confined to a memory care home, you will remember the words to old songs and sing along when the guest entertainment plays your songs. You'll know these lyrics long after you don't know your wife's or kid's names. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was turning the air blue.

30DodgePanel Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Country/Bluegrass/Cajon Mark Knopfler (from Dire Straits) and Emmylou Harris anything together... preferably live.. Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris - OUR SHANGRI LA - The Best Version - YouTube Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris - If This Is Goodbye (Real Live Roadrunning | Official Live Video) - YouTube Knopfler is one Scot that has proven the Bluegrass sound is universal. John Prine and Bonnie Raitt live Angel from Montgomery Bonnie Raitt& John Prine - Angel From Montgomery - YouTube Hanks, either one... Waylon, Merle, Buddy Holly and most anything from the 50s, 60s, and 70s when country wasn't cool but rock and true rhythm and blues was. New stuff is garbage. Jolie Blon by Doug Kershaw or the Waylon/Buddy Holly versions Jimmy C Newman Doug Kershaw Joel Sonnier - Jole Blon - YouTube Jole Blon - Waylon Jennings, Buddy Holly and King Curtis - YouTube Balfa Brothers Dewey Balfa - Jai Ete Au Bal - Awesome Fiddlesticks - YouTube Hackberry Rag Breakdown à Pete 1938 - YouTube Rock/Rhythm and blues The Pogues (Dirty old town!)/ Flogging Mollys / U2 with Clannad Zepp, Physical Graffiti and One most any cuts Most any Floyd, particularly Live at Pompeii with no fans (not a Covid thing)... especially Echoes. Pink Floyd -"Echoes" Pompeii - YouTube Stevie Wonder Temptations Marvin Smokie etc.... Alternative/Christian Jars of Clay live with symphony Frail Jars of Clay - Frail - YouTube 10th Ave North most anything Tenth Avenue North - Love Is Here - YouTube Tenth Ave North - You Are More - YouTube Opera There's only one Pavarotti Music... the true great uniter.

Tomita's version and the whole album was released in 1974, probably a large influence to his music was Wendy Carlos who did the famous LP in 1968 called "Switched On Bach" and for years on PBS's "Masterpiece Theater" and introduced by Masterpiece Theater's "BEST" host Alistair Cook was part of the background music. Without this pioneering work with the MOOG bands like Emerson Lake and Palmer would have had a harder time. Do you remember now?, and it's not new age-it's 53 years old!

Try this, back in 1962 it was my first introduction to Brazilian jazz, and these are the original compositions by the master. He was so famous the city of Rio named one of their international airports after him. It opened a whole new world of music for me. Many artists use his compositions, like Stan Getz, Frank Sinatra, Vikki Carr, Astrud Gilberto just to name a very few. You'll most likely recognize some of the songs but didn't know who wrote them.

AL1630 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 There is a pair of youtube channels called "The78Prof" and "The45Prof" that catalog most every hit song (pop, and some country and R&B) from about 1925-1950 and then 1950-1966 respectively. They have lots of songs from the 50s and 60s that were popular back then that never get played on radio anymore. They're sorted in to "Hits archive" playlists with lots of songs from a particular year all in one that you can shuffle. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBdfpBp6qA6WwTpFF0utT9A/playlists?view=50&shelf_id=3 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC43oS1vZRDBWr3f2N7m8B8g/playlists?view=50&shelf_id=3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
