Enjoying...

Willie's Place, just added to the new Sirius XM channel lineup. Great classic country!

Mitch Mitchell R.I.P

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Mitchell November 13th, the original drummer for the Jimi Hendrix Experience died on Oregon. Anybody that could keep up with Hendrix and understood his vision must be recognized as a true legend of music history. Just listen to him rip it up in "Fire" and "Crosstown Traffic" We lost another... Rick

Meatloaf - Greatest HITS

2 CD set...TON of variety..and what a voice..

As we speak...

Bella Fleck and the Flecktones which was preceded by Stevie Rays version of Texas Flood. I hear alot of opinions on great guitar players. Am I the only one who sees the greatness in SRV? I LOVE that guys work. It seems so effortless.

From what I remember reading, SRV never considered himself to be a great guitar player, never felt it came naturally. He really had to work at it. Sure sounds great to me. And Bela? Caught the Flectones with Mr Milne a few months back opening for Return to Forever, and I'll see them again in Fairfield CT on December 12th. That's a talented group!

Willie's Place

I have Sirius in the van but XM from satellite for the TV so the only time I could listen to Willie's Place was at home before leaving for work. Pleasant surprise yesterday when the receiver did a station upgrade and there was Willie. Yippee.

old country songs

I like the older country, not the new stuff on the air now. This site is one that plays on my computer all day. < http://loudcity.com/stations/hpr1-classic-country/files/show/hpr1.html > This will play as long as you want. enjoy

Jobsite Radios

We've been listening to classic rock radio for two days now from the carpenters on a commercial job. My partner, who's early punk/garage said it was like his own private Guantanamo so he brought his i-pod today. During a work day I like variety so the radio works for me. For all you obscure band guys try this site www.archive.org Browse by band. Many downloadable live shows. Cracker is one of my favorites. Drive by Truckers as well. Alt country I guess. Many old radio shows on that site too. My kids bought me a turntable to convert all my vinyl to Mp3 but I haven't hooked it to the PC yet. Nice to see there's another TYA fan out there, John Barba. I have three of their albums in my vinyl rotation right now reliving my teen years. "Rock and Roll Music to the World", "A Space in Time", and "Cricklewood Green".

TYA

I'll have to check out more of their stuff. My band does "I'd Love to Change The World". Goes over big. Those guys, minus Alvin, are still touring, but I don't think they ever come to the US.

I agree

I think 1970's country music contains some incredibe musicians...Roy Clark , Chet Atkins , Jerry Reed and 1000 others that I can't think of right now. And a guy who jams on country like no other http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9PmrH0demA Tonight it's Tony MacAlpine , Tony Franklin , Dean Castranovo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xDAAFDONYM&feature=related ( And yeah , these links all get reported to youtube by that fool on a mission , whatever ).

music

My crew goes from Reggae to hard rock to Country. My favorite Me first and the Gimme Gimmes. Sing along songs you'd hear on the oldies station but... Punk just like the college days. Me first and the Gimme gimmees love their country is my favorite CD this year To Learn More About This Professional, Click Here to Visit Their Ad in "Find A Professional"

Kindred spirits

I completely agree. The only time I saw them was the relayer tour in 76(?). It was outdoors and I was far from the front. I almost went to see them in LI this year, but no could do. I hope Anderson gets better and tours again.

Paul, can you explain this to me?

Sing, bird of prey; Beauty begins at the foot of you - Do you believe the manner? Gold stainless nail, Torn through the distance of man - As they regard the summit. Even Siberia goes through the motions. Hold out and hold up; Hold down the window, Outbound, river, Hold out the morning that comes into view - Bluetail, tailfly. River running right on over my head. How does she sing? Who holds the ring? And ring - And you will find me coming. Cold reigning king, Hold all the secrets from you - As they produce the movement. Even Siberia goes through the motions, Hold out and hold up; Hold down the window, Outbound, river, Hold out the morning that comes into view - Bluetail, tailfly. River running right over the Outboard, river, Bluetail, tailfly, Luther, in time. Dood'ndoodit, dah, d't-d't-dah - Hold down the window; Hold out the morning that comes into view. Warm side, the tower; Green leaves reveal the heart spoken Khatru. Gold stainless nail, Torn through the distance of man - As they regard the summit. Cold reigning king, Shelter the women that sing - As they produce the movement. River running right on over,then over my head. Outboard, river. Bluetail, tailfly, Luther, in time, Suntower, asking, Cover, lover, June cast, moon fast, As one, changes, Heart gold, leaver, Soul mark, mover, Christian, changer, Called out, saviour, Moon gate, climber, Turn round, glider.

What?

Isn't it obvious. It's right there! And if you don't know I'm not going to tell you :):):) The CD of Relayer that I have has a studio cut of Gates on it. it's obvious this may be an early run through of the song as it's not quite set up the same as the final cut. Anderson's lyrics are partially the same as the finished product. I get the feeling that with Yes the music is developed first, then the lyrics are developed to possibly make sense, but more to fit the song. In essence, the voice as another instrument. Most music I believe is wrtten the other way around. The words to Sound Chaser from Relayer seem to fit this premis: Faster moment spent spread tales of change with in the sound. Counting forms through rhythm electric freedom Moves to counter balance stars expound our conscience All to know and see the look in your eyes. What?

The Revealing Science Of God

Side one from Tales from Topographic Oceans Talk tothe sunlight caller Soft summer mover distance mine Called out a tune but I never saw the face Heard but not replaced I ventured to talk, but I never lost my place They move fast, they tell me, But I just can't believe they really mean to There's someone, to tell you, A course towards a universal season Getting over overhanging trees let them Rape the forest, they might stand and leave them Clearly to be home Getting over wars we do not mean We charm the movement suffers Call out all our memories Clearly to be home We've moved fast We need love A part we offer is our only freedom What happened to this song we once knew so well Signed promise for moments caught within the spell We must have waited all our lives for this Moment moment Oh! Now I get it, thanks! I am in the minority but side one and four on Tales are brilliant!

To tell the truth

I'm not familiar with Tales. That will have to be my next one. They're older albums were a bit more understandable. I was just listening to Southside of the Sky from Fragile. Definitely more understandable. Maybe with time they just twist the lyrics more and more until they barely make sense.

Tales is amazing!

Double album 4-songs. Side one and four make it totally worth while. Haven't listened to two and three in years, I better give them a listen. Blasting Weather Report - Black Market right at this moment...

Paul

I saw Alvin Lee at the Cubby Bear Lounge across from Wrigley Field a few years back. He WAS the band so anything less is well,...less. Really dating myself here but when I was young like a freshman in high school I saw them and I think it was their farewell tour. All the roadies came out at the end, turned their backs and their shirts read "F*** Y** to the crowd. Apparently the "Space in Time" album didn't fit well with the flying fingers approach Alvin Lee had with previous Ten Years After lp's and the fans reacted negatively. It was all good to me and still is. Keep on rockin' Tom G

I've had Sirius since Howard started

Howard in the morning and rock & blues the rest of the day. Could not live without it now. Now more annoying commercial breaks. Signal doesn't fade, never lose reception ever! Best $12 value ever. I drive all over New England, it simply rules. You can even listen on your computer. Only weakness is they don't have a progressive rock channel. But right now they have a 24 hour channels for Springsteen, Led Zeppelin and AC/DC. Sirius RULES!!!

hvacfreak: take note!

Do you get RFD-TV?..once in awhile they run episodes of the old Jerry Reed Show. One show had Jerry/Chet Atkins doing a freelance jam...awesome!

I like to watch RFD-TV Saturday night. Lots of the old country shows and especially enjoy Midwest Country Theater. One of the better country guitar players in recent times, Leroy Glaizer, who was the music director for many years, passed away in July.

Old Dream Theater

" Through nature's inflexible grace I'm learning to live " But the mention of " Yes " ...Chris Squire ...what a great sound , a great musician. I think he played a Rick , it may be a Fender , I'm not sure. My favorite " pick " player . As a child, I thought I could live without pain without sorrow As a man I've found it's all caught up with me I'm asleep yet I'm so afraid- Kevin Moore

Now that's a great mix!

Music

Metallica Death Magnetic

Chicago

Chicago's greatest hits! Sounds awesome in the factory Infinity Gold system in our Jeep. Love those horns!!

Yes

My wife picked up the Yes Relayer CD for me yesterday. I've owned the Album since it came out in '74, but haven't listened to it in years. This is one of my favorite Yes albums. Though it might not be everyone's cup of tea, I find it very technical in the musical sense, very intricate guitar work and very well engineered, though the mix might have been a little better in a couple of spots. . Cranked up with head phones is the best.

What am I listening too? One particular very loud

co-worker who will just not pipe down, why? Now, where is my Ritalin Dart Gun, duct tape and Bose Noise-Canceling Head Phones? :)

Brad's

co-worker, whom I can hear all the way out here in Worcester. Actually, Michael Graham waiting for Rush (not the musical group). By the way, has anyone bought one of those record players that you can record onto a built in CD player? Thanks, Jack

I agree Paul

Relayer was one of my favorites. Very Technical. My friend saw Yes Friday night with a new singer taking Jon Anderson place. I hav'nt had a chance to ask him yet. Scott To Learn More About This Professional, Click Here to Visit Their Ad in "Find A Professional"

The reason that Relayer surfaced is that I heard Gates Of Delerium on the radio the other day. That has to be a first, at least for me. Granted, it was not what you'd call a mainstream station. Let me know when you hear about the concert. I was thinking of going to the show on LI, but scheduling got in the way. Jack, I have a USB turntable. We plug it directly into our laptop. Does a nice job.

Oldies

www.pandora.com set to 70s mellow stuff, right now playing some Mac!

Music

The older I get, the older the music I listen to. Bix Beiderbecke, Fletcher Henderson, Duke Ellington, Kitty Wells, Patsy Kline, Bob Wills, Machito, an eclectic mix.

Carbon Leaf

I'm listening to Carbon Leaf's Ether-Electrified Porch Music and Echo Echo CDs. It's a rootsy acoustic-electric heavy Celtic rock type of thing, out of Richmond, VA . . . spectacular jazz-like drumming and heavy bass lines combined with great acoustic guitar work and tin whistle. It's kind of like Dave Matthews and REM with an attitude meet the Chieftans. Very Cool. Yesterday, it was "The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place" by Explosions in the Sky . . . Kind of like Pink Floyd would sound if they were from Seattle. Yes is cool too. I'm a guitar player and I'd give my right arm to play like Steve Howe . . . wait . . . That wouldn't work very well . . . I never tried a turntable with a built-in CD recorder. I did tie my old turntable and stereo receiver into my computer sound card, and digitized maybe 100 LP's from my collection using a $10 shareware program called CDWave, before burning them to CDs. The results were more than adequate. Skunky '70s rock just doesn't sound the same without the crackle.

Black Sabbath The Mob rules

and Glenn Hughes, Soulfully Live in The City of Angels. The new stuff out there is Horrible...but what can expect? look at the mess out there. Mad Dog To Learn More About This Professional, Click Here to Visit Their Ad in "Find A Professional"

Listening

For me it's Sirius 62 the road house

Careful Mad Dog. Your starting to sound like somebody's father. :)

I agree Chris Squire

Is a MONSTER on albums and live. Saw Yes at least 5 times in 70's-80's. Relayer might have been my favorite tour. Saw the Tales tour at Cornell front row. When you see them live you think that there can't be anybody better on the planet. I wore out Yessongs on vinyl. Siberian Khatru probably my favorite Yes song. Close To The Edge second... Rick

Gates Of Delirium! Go Paul!!!

Paul, I listened to Relayer and side one of Yessongs just the other day! Killer albums, saw the tour in 74? Also listened to GTR Live and Dream Theater - Images and Words. If you are on the fence with Dream Theater, get Images and Words and crank it. Best man for man talented group working today!

Yessongs!

I actually have 2 copies of that 3 record album. I much prefer the renditions on that live album over their studio cuts. Freak: Squire has always been number one on my bass player list (besides me, of course :). That's a Rickenbacker, same one he's been playing since the mid 60's.

Morph the Cat,,,

CD was just a playing in the car. Donald Fagen. Some of it's real good some of it's eh...

iTunes Genius

Made some iTunes Genius playlists before getting on the plane today. This helped pass the time: Rock & Roll Music To The World -- 10 Years After Fallin' In Love -- Souther-Hillman Furay Band True Blue -- Rod Stewart Tell The Truth -- Derek & The Dominos Oh What A Thrill -- Rockpile (VERY underated band!) Spaceman -- Harry Hilsson Redneck Friend -- Jackson Browne Choo Choo Mama -- 10 Years After (live Alvin Lee!) Pre-Road Downs -- CSNY live Albert Flasher - The Guess Who Soul Deep -- The Box Tops Mercury Blues -- Steve Miller Band A Certain Girl -- Warren Zevon Little Gandy Dancer -- Bachman-Turner Overdrive Good Feelin' To Know -- Poco Reelin' & Rockin' - Thorogood (live) Let's Work Together -- Canned Heat Woodchopper's Ball -- 10 Years After Made a 2.5 hr flight fly by a little quicker... JMB

Today....

The CD player in the car holds Frank Zappa recorded (VERY crudely, I might add) at Saarbruken Germany in 1978. Lead song....Dancin' Fool, and a ton of mid 70's classics. I find the version of St. Alphonso's Pancake Breakfast particularly righteous, although a bit tinny sounding. Tomorrow, I've selected Better Than Ezra for the day. Chris

Pink is on the cd player, yep hostile female voices so soothing.
