THe death of music

**properchopper** · 12-06-2012, 09:51 PM

OK Mi Amigos - now that we're in some hardcore vein, suck on this :

During the O.J. trial I was so pissed off at the "Dream Team" bunch of lawyers trying to get O.J. off by coming forth with "the Columbian Drud Lords did It" or "Outer space Aliens did it" that I wrote this song. I let it sit for over a year until one day I was bikin' with my Bud Johnny Ransom, lead singer of a local hardcore band known as the Smut Peddlers. They recorded it and it became a fave at the time : no vid, but the next one will exhibit some of Johnny's talent (and probably get me banned,) so Sayonnora Y'All

Wow, this is getting heavy. And wow, I misspelled 'punctuation'. Damn. Good stuff.

Just got in the door from playing a show, our own brand of hillbilly turbo folk. Now we're up to #3 on the alternative folk charts for Eastern Canada.
All those years of playing rock and I finally make it somewhere playing acoustic! Funny how you just have to keep at it and wait for the right group of people.

I forgot about the text, sorry, my phone doesn't work at home though, so it didn't come through 'til later the next day at work. Yes, Foxboro is one of the places I go, also Toyz4Boyz in New Bedford.
I like this newer stuff!

To me, I think that music from the previous decades had more integration with vocals and instrumentation.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3fI0mLz3ks

**domwilson** · 12-07-2012, 03:31 PM

Plus we had 45's

More "Sweet and Mellow" from the Old Fart part of my brain and (past) and glad to have lived there :

Carole King with Joannie Mitchell and James Taylor on backup vocals - grab a tissue

Carole wrote it when she was 18 I think. But most people remember this version...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnPlJxet_ac

Good choice. This one came out when vinyl was on the serious decline. I bought the vinyl and the CD copies.
If Douggie is out there in Douggieland...He'll answer which sounds better.

I'll bait him with this...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0fy1HeJv80

**domwilson** · 12-07-2012, 05:26 PM

I think the 60's and early 70's was a good time for "cross over" music...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPtK5V5wKz0

Early disco and classic Rock wasn't bad until somebody left the synth on and all but wiped out a population of free will'd humans.

I think you just unearthed the origins of what I now call "sychronized gerbil dancing" behind most of the pop (pap) music today (have barf bag handy)

I always thought she was trying to be too much like her brother. But If the formula works....
Anyways this guy had a movie named after him...Can you guess the name, boys and girls? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8Tiz6INF7I

Yesterday was a sad day for me as I learnt of the death of Ravi Shankar....he made my ears understand other music forms.....he was a genius on the sitar,sarod and many other instruments...Reast in peace

Douggie

**siberianhusky** · 12-13-2012, 12:46 PM

Yep Ravi introduced me to a whole new world of music.
Ever tried playing a Sitar? strange critter, movable frets! Tied on with string.
Lol easier to cheat, load up synthtar (virtual instrument) and use my workstation.
Really fun when I borrow a buddies guitar that has a midi pickup.
