Re: Oldie But Goodies

Good stuff lads.

Never heard of Vern Gosdin.. Ill be looking him up.

Father and Son, My brother whose been living in London now for 30 odd years, plays  and sings this beautifully  with guitar. It always reminds me of him..
I still believe we had the best music in our time. Out of 2 wars, The depression, and assassinations. We had the best times to write about. Percolating great music for years.  We had peace movements/ womans movement etc.
We went from Ginsberg, to Gordon Gekko. and greed greed greed. Very little of the eighties music appeals to me. We didnt change the world lol i do believe our acceptance of "Recreational drugs" was a downfall. A negative equity so to speak.
My Sis gave me  a Vonda Shepard CD some years ago. Love every song on there. This one is an oldie.
She sings it beautifully i think. [ Oh ! A big ole fly just landed on my pc ! First ive seen this year. Must be the heat were having] I digress !

Re: Oldie But Goodies

Would have been a good song for that, Old Doll.  Ozy, E,L and P was a great group.
So was Steppenwolf.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3PRV5Js … re=related

2 glasses of red wine sounds delightful.  I love AC/DC, especially "Highway to Hell" of course I do love Hayseed Dixie's awesome remake.  smile

I'm not a big fan of the "Eagles", but they did have some good tunes in their day.

Good point, but, music as Dave Barry put it is truly subjective.  We disagree on much, but, in the end music unites us all..............and thats all that matters.   Respect differences and respect music because;  "If it sounds good, it is good."  --Duke Ellington

Thanks!    One of my memories as a kid, was my mother complaining about the music I liked, rock and roll, acid rock, folk, etc.   The same old cliches that we probably all heard when we developed musical tastes different from our elders.  When our daughter entered her years of musical taste development, I resolved never, EVER to repeat those cliches.  And so far I think I've done pretty good on that resolve.  My only request is for her to keep any tunes volume down that I don't like.  And her tastes have evolved to include quite a mixture of styles and artists.  Not long ago, we heard "Skating away" by Jethro Tull on the radio.  She loved it and downloaded it onto her MP3 player.  My wife has tastes in music that I don't like, and of course I have tastes that she doesn't.  We know what we all like differently and together.  Respect for each other and respect for the music...............what a combo.  Oh and my wife and I will get to our 19th wedding anniversary next Tuesday, the 27th.  smile  And it looks like we're going to be a three guitar playing family, she won free lessons at a silent auction a month ago and has decided to continue her lessons, her goal is to put her poems to music and play them at local open mike night's.   

She knows about chordie, but, isn't ready to join yet.  She's still reading thru my folk anthology books.
