" What's a DONEY?" It's an old term used to describe a gardening tool. ( Not a shovel or rake) Bet your goin' fishin' all of the time. Your baby's goin' fishin' too. You can bet your life, your sweet wife gonna catch more fish than you. Many fish bite if you've got good bait. Here's a little tip that I would like to relate. Got my pole. Got my line. And I'm goin' fishin', yes I'm goin' fishin' and my baby's goin' fishin' too. Double entandre is a big part of what makes the blues so much fun. It seems to have become obsolete with the hip-hop generation. 40s and 50s blues has some of the most creative (and fun) you will ever see.

Lambano, lamballo, laballo, ballo, ball, throw, throw it out. Yeah! Yeah! That's the ticket! THROW IT OUT! Sorry, that's not a preposition. Preposition,pre-position, reposition, missionarry position, deposition----Now we're getin' somewhere. That's Riiiiiiight!

And then, of course, there's "working the crowd". Lots of that went on, too.

Wow! Anybody who says no good music is being made today, hasn't heard these guys. I had never heard of The Fray until this appeared. Shame on me. If you weren't familiar with this song, you might be easily convinced these guys wrote it. They made it their own. The instrumental parts were just what was needed and no more. Hard to not get carried away and play too many notes on something like this. The vocal was dead on. Captured the true essense of the song(IMO). OK--- Back to topic, now.

Carey Bell-----My Eyes Keep Me In Trouble(RIP Carey)

This is for Jonny and Polar Bear since we've touched on the subject of harmonicas. About 10 or so years ago, I went to a Paul DeLay gig. The club owner decided to have a contest to see who had driven the farthest to see the show. I won(150 miles). The prize was 2 tickets to the next show, Carey Bell. The crowd was light at that show (Sunday night) so I got to sit at the bar and shoot the breeze with Carey during his first break. He was a very sweet and open guy. I'm going to post some youtube of Carey playing "The big 64" in 3rd position, not using the button. Since the 64 is in C, this makes the tune in D(Dmin.). You could also play it in 2nd position on a G harp(diatonic). Note that he plays it through some type of FX gear. I have no idea what type. This is where the guitar players jump in and say, "Geeze, Waysider, that a hoopy doopy flang-o-matic." At least I'm HOPING they do because I'm quite lost with a lot of the pedals and special gizmoes. Also, note that the guitar player(Steve Jacobs,maybe?) seems to be using his index finger to very adeptly pick in both directions (no finger picks in use) OK--- I'm not too good at a lot of this stuff yet, so I'm putting this on my next post.

Actually, Peter Tork was already a veteran of the Greenwich Village folk scene when he joined The Monkees. He and another folkie buddy of his (some guy named Stephan Stills) were both supposed to audition but Stills did not go to the audition. The rest is history.

HaHaHa! Kinda reminds me of that Dylan song,"You Gotta Serve Somebody". Not sure of the exact title. Sounds like a good excuse to visit youtube, though.

Shock value-------Guaranteed to pique the attention of the audience.

OK Now I'm green with envy. A La got to go to "The Stanleys" and I'm stuck in a town that can't make the playoffs :)

Sonny Landreth

Wallflowers---Tasty stuff. Yep, that's Dylan's son Jacob. PB---Thanx for the Bill Evans Eddie has always been my fav bass to work with Bill. He was in outer space on this one. Claude Garden--- I had never heard him before. WOW! I checked out his youtube of Bluesette. Amazing use of glissandoes and octaves! I was a bit concerned he might just melt the button with his speed. I have some time tomorrow and plan to look at some Adam Gussow lessons. I have heard him perform as part of the duo, "Satan and Adam" but have not seen his lessons.

The number "6M" is not significant in and of itself. People use that(the number) to dance around the fact that the Holocaust was real. Was it 6 million, 6 thousand, 6 hundred? These are quantitative descriptors. None of that negates the reality of the Holocaust. I really don't care if the 6million figure is mathmatically accurate, it does not make what happened any less heinous or inexcusable. Are the Jews of today the chosen people spoken of in the O.T.? Again, not relevant to the issue at hand, which is the reality of the Holocaust. Here's a REAL question to ponder. Why was a " Biblical research and teaching ministry", who claimed to be focused on "The Word, The Word, and nothing but The Word" so obsessed with White Supremisist propaganda?

Hmmmm! Maybe I don't really belong on this thread. I don't feel like I've ever been anything other than "me". "Me" is not a static entity, though, nor is it retroactive. The "me" of 35 years ago loved to fish. The "me" of today thinks it's just "so-so". The "me" of 35 years ago loved all kinds of music. The "me" of today still does. Some things about us change and some remain the same. Through it all, though, I think the real "me" keeps a watchful eye on the progression of events. The trick, I suppose, is learning how to stop being the "me" who looks in through the window and become the "me" who takes a place in the midst of the room.

Beck, Bogert & Appice----Mornin' Dew(1973)

Orange Blossom Special--------Charlie McCoy--1978

Anyone interested in serious study of classical, chromatic harmonica? There is an updated version of the Tommy Reilly Chromatic Harmonica Course available at www. douglastate.com/book.htm(or look for link on Harp-L forum in posts for June 3, 07) Both Tommy Reilly and Douglas Tate were world class (and world renown) classical harmonica experts.

VPW wanted everything to be a "law"; the "law" of believing, the "law" of giving and receiving, the "law" of reversed efforts, etc., etc. Heck, I'm still trying to figure out where the scriptures guarantee mathmatical accuracy and scientific precision! I haven't found that one about fitting "like a hand in a glove" yet either. Where in the scriptures does it say we'll be able to understand difficult scriptures in light of ones that are clearly understandable? Why MUST there be a "law" of liberty that fits like yada, yada, yada.?

Yep Lay Lady Lay-------From the Nashville Skyline album.( The album that featured a component of Dylan's voice that had never been heard before and fueled rumours he might have been killed in his big 'cycle crash.)

Bob Brozman

Joan Armatrading (1979)

A young man decides he would like to learn to play Bass Harmonica. Returning home from his first lesson, the father asks, "How did it go?" "Great", said the son, "I learned 'C'." After his second lesson the father inquires again. "Super", said the son, " I learned 'G'." After his third lesson, he does not return at all and finally shows up in the wee hours of the morning. The father is furious and screams,"Where have you been?" To which the son responds---------------" I had a gig." borrowed from Harp-L(a harmonica forum)

If that doesn't answer the question, it can't be answered.

CC-----Film version OK?
