RIP Bernie Marsden
I’m enjoying y’alls contributions [emoji1303]
Been thinking about sharing this,
I come from a bit odd background probably, musically speaking.
I wasn’t exposed to much variety growing up, so a few albums/groups that I did hear, I guess made sort of outsized impressions on me.
The first, my parents had the big huge stereo thingamajig most hip young couples aspired to have in the 60’s.
Turntable, radio, and reel to reel.
Thing took 4 people to move. But they only owned a handful of albums,
sometimes they would stack them all up on the turntable and let them automatically play, one by one as we were going to bed. Went to sleep listening. The only 2 that made impressions were Willie Nelson, Redheaded Stranger - and a Glen Campbell album. I loved Willie, Glen not so much [emoji6]
Then into my early teens, I had a few 8 tracks bought at yard sales, and a couple bootleg cassettes from the flea market. Wore them out, AC/DC,
38 Special, Foreigner, Nazareth and a few more. Just never spent much money on music.
Then when I got drivers license and started getting out on my own, buddies and I went through a Hank jr. kick, riding back roads drinking beer. Not much changed for a long while, had a bunch of hot cars, but hardly ever got around to having a functional radio. Every dollar went towards cams, headers, Holley double pumpers, motor builds, drag racing… tear it up and build back faster.
Went in to the Air Force at 18, made friends with a guy from North Carolina, he almost had to twist my arm to get me to listen to bluegrass. Started off w Ricky Scaggs, but I liked it and was soon exploring the older, more traditional stuff. But still, not a huge part of my day to day.
I guess what finally made a change was Pandora app on my phone. Started listening to it over a little speaker while I worked, and that really expanded my taste.
I can’t let my collection play on shuffle unless I’m just looking for laughs - it’ll go from bluegrass to classic rock to old country to punk,
Alternative rock to outlaw country-
I seem to especially like stuff that’s hard to stick into a category.
Guess that’s enough for now, I enjoyed writing all that, hopefully it entertains somebody for a few minutes.

Reading JW's expose' reminded me of something :
I've listened to music on 78, 33, and 45rpm vinyl records ... reel to reel tape ... cassettes ... CD's --- but the one thing I've not owned in my life is 8-track tapes. My roommate, back in the 70's, had 8-tracks & played them ... and that ruined me from ever wanting them. :Rofl
I lived with my Grandparents from Jr High until I got out of the Army, and watched Lawrence Welk & Hee Haw with them ... and American Bandstand & other similar shows when alone. Once out on my own, I mostly listened to music on 33rpm vinyl (& the occasional 45). I've got records & CD's that I've never listened to, four of which are CD's that have never been opened. :yikes
While I'm cruisin' CdC tonight, I've got another window open and this timeless classic playing. This, in my opinion, is the benchmark by which all other performances of this piece should be judged. His tempo, phrasing, and allowing the acoustics of the building to add to the personality of the piece is flawless. And notice there is no sheet music; all from memory. So often, this is played as fast as can be seemingly just so the performer can show his/her dexterity.
So if you've got a good set of headphones or a great speaker system on you computer, crank this one up. And while it's playing, read some of the comments, especially about half way down the page. Some of them are pretty good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHNLdHe8uxY
Watched that till the end. Wow what an instrument, among one of my thoughts. Can’t help but wonder what all those other switches do.Quote:

That has to be the most complicated thing I’ve ever watched anyone operate. Thanks for posting.

This is excellent, first class. While I listen to Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, etc., I appreciate such things. Thanks so much for posting - I enjoyed it.Quote:

Sorry to change the tempo. Although I’ve always been a Merle fan, I used to find this song mildly annoying. But it came across my pandora station today, and I enjoyed it. Guess I’m getting old. Silver Wings (2001 Remaster; 2001 Digital Remaster) - YouTube

This is the one that clinched me as a Merle Haggard fan. Yes a cover, but very respectful and well done. I still love the original too!

A couple of years ago I came across this clip and it was my introduction to Junior Brown. His style of music and his rich, deep voice led me to put quite a few of his tunes on my Ipod.

He and his "guit-steel" offers a lot of depth of talent. Some of his live video's run a bit too long on the instrumentals for me but a lot of his other works hit all the right buttons, for me at least.

For some reason, probably my favorite cut is this one:

Didn’t realize until I went to watch, I have seen that cat before. He is enjoyable to listen to.Quote:

Raul Malo and the Mavericks. Raul has a terrific voice and range. I think this cover is way better than the Hollies version that was a big hit in the 70's.

Wow, never heard the likes. Will say, my old bluetooth speaker I listen to out here has seen better days. All those notes made it lose its mind - rattling [emoji38]Quote:

My computer has the speakers built right in to the monitor so they are really bad.
My good headphones plug in to the monitor as well and there is a world of difference in sound quality. A lot of the music on YT really sounds good with the proper speakers. I think most sound cards will offer pretty good results even if not top of the line, and I don't know what top of the line is. I'm more of a "That's good enough" type of guy.
That was beautiful. You have a great range of music to post!Quote:

Thanks for that link, I'll have to dig a bit deeper on that gal.
I listen to a wide variety of stuff, from Adele to ZZ Top but much of it is not the popular names most of us are familiar with. I lean heavily toward vocalists rather than the bands themselves, such as Raul Malo for example. Lots of his solo stuff on YT showcase his talents, rather than as the front man for the Mavericks.
Lots of good music in movie soundtracks, too. I've bought CD's of movie scores or soundtracks before ever seeing them, such as "Gladiator" featuring Russel Crowe. Browsing through the music at the old Border's store, where you could sample the tracks off the disc before buying it was wonderful back before the internet and YT.
Most any movie I watch, I'm usually listening intently to the score to see if it moves me in some way.

She participated in a thing called the transatlantic sessions with Dan Tyminski and some others, did a really beautiful rendition of Annabelle Lee

I remember both of those, Black Betty is on the Ipod, the other is not. Both good tunes!
