Cool, and with playing tips too

I agree on Raindrops keep falling on my head, I've been playing that one for years, How could I have not mentioned that one. (brain out to lunch I guess)

Where in darnation is Cape Breton Island, Badeye?

You may be a guitar player, but you sure do have a strange address.
By the way, where would one find Coney Island (I think Lou Read mentioned it once or twice)

yours quizically

Hi Doc, David again.

You're right as usual, I shouldn't make a joke about my son's performance.

He played my bass, used a microphone he borrowed from me, and he's still high on the adrenaline. ( is that how you spell it?)
I couldn't see the gig because it was at his school leavers party and parents were not allowed in.

The next time that 'Toxic Life' perform I'll try to borrow a video camera and capture the event.

still keeping the faith

David

Cheers Ken,

That's it !

I have a friend ...

OK, I wasn't going to get drawn in but ....

I agree with most of Michel's list. I'm glad you mentioned Elton, much under-rated these days, forget the hype listen to the music.

I've only recently accepted that Metallica are worth listening to, I think it was krishanu that did that for me.
Classical I would agree with Bach and add Mozart.
Johnny Cash is in his own league, but try Dwight Yoakam for country. (" I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die", nice one Johnny)
Folk, Nanci Griffith, I've seen her live four times, never disappointed.
The Clash are undefinable, they did just about every style you could shake a stick at. (and did them all well)
The Ramones, it couldn't get any better.

And if like (or not) Girl Bands, give the Sugababes a go, you never know you might just like it. (Sorry I really do have eclectic tastes)

cheers

As a fellow commited atheist, I echo your sentiments.

And to Blair and Bush and their arse licking cronies, We don't need this war thaang!

I think I'll have to start a new thread ...

I never did, but when I was working as a carpenter on a house renovation, the owner of the house and myself stopped for a cup of tea.
We were sitiing in the kitchen, (the house had been gutted and was therefore full of echoes), we both heard footsteps coming from the living room.
I shouted "Hi, we're in the kitchen", and the owner went to see who was there.

No one.

I have no explanation.

The truth is out there Scully!

How do you add a friend in Bebo?

I've just joined as acmecorp , but I'm old and confused and can't figure it out

help!

Cheers

I think you're talking modal music here.

This is going to be very simplistic

The difference between modal music and diatonic music is that in diatonic music the solo notes follow the chords, but conversely in modal music the notes of the scale that you choose, be it lydian, phyrgian et cetera determine the harmonies that you are trying to achieve. Simply put  you invent the harmonies from the way you play the scale.

I was going to explain some more but it's too late and I'm knackered. I'll try again tomorrow.

sorry for now

David

Well, actually, I agree with Ken, I only started this topic for a bit of a laugh, (but the story about my son is true).

You should go and knock them dead with anything you know.
My favorite is to piss them off with stuff like the Spice Girls until they actually here you singing along and wonder what drugs you're on.

Then quickly start a Rolling Stones song, before they quite get it!

Hint : most of the Stones early stuff takes only three chords.

cheers

Interesting fact (NOT!)

You can play that melody using only the black keys on the piano.

(how do you do a yawning smiley)
