This guy was a real character. He stripped that Elmore James guitar sound to absolute basics but was way more exciting than people like B.B. King. I saw him live a couple of years b4 he died and I swear it was the LOUDEST concert I ever went to. I just noticed one of the regular posters on Ozpol uses a Hound Dog Taylor pic as his signature and it prompted me to blast a few tracks until the neighbours got upset.

grooviness! I would be head explodingly proud of my daughter if she did music at school - she was learning violin a couple of years ago but she never really got through the "cats screwing" stage of learning! (She is only 12 though, so maybe when she's a bit older she'll give it another shot?) hee hee

Well, come on now, don't hog the Eva all to yourself - share away! Wink

If this story dosen't break you heart you are tough.

At that age my Daughter was Playing Trumpet - she kept that up till the end of Y8. She played in the school stage band I went to their first performance and expected rubbish - seen some of the other schools including a Violin group who had played the opera house and started to cringe at our group who had been together for about 5 months. They blew the audience away and were invited to open for the Local eisteddfod. This was mainly due to a y12 saxophonist who was amazing and got the solo's. She tends to take up things and when she starts to get fairly good she just drops it cold. Typically about a week after I buy her an expensive kit. She was out surfing every day last winter on a crap old board - I got her a new one and she has only used it once, same with tennis and horse riding (didn't buy the horse though). Drums since 13 years and a bit of Guitar. Hope she keeps it up. The critics say that she dosent use a lot of flare but she is real tight with the beat and transitions.

I assume it's there, I haven't looked yet. Yep, you get the full version coz I reckon Kat can play along to this with her singing bowl

He left Fleetwood Mack to become a grave digger and wouldn't play for anybody but friends for decades. Rventually he was coaxed back on stage. I love the name of his new group, 'splinter' - 'wood' get it ?

bloody hell, I didn't realise Eva Cassidy was dead, and that she took her own life Cry

(I'm not really good with that whole knowing about musicians - I'm more interested in the music than the people who create it... )

Wow! I hope my daughter gets into music like that - she's followed in mummy's footsteps and is in all the drama productions so that's good too!

She was getting guitar lessons, but we couldn't afford them anymore.

haha - not quite in sync with my tibetan singing bowl - goes perfectly with my air guitar though, and my hairbrush microphone! lol Wink

EDIT:
OK, so it's time for me to admit something - sometimes I don't listen to the whole song straight away (3 kids, and a partner who gets annoyed when I listen to music at night coz it makes his game go slow)... Listened to it in full today though. Yeah, I might rock out to it with my singing bowl

Ah, thank you! I like it a lot! Cool

Also, thanks for the explanation, very much appreciated - you are all my musical sensei's!

P.S. - where are all the chicks?
