What is you favorite bands, songs, or singer?

Zuzu, interesting life! what a cool story.

Yes that was Barry Maguire, not Eric Burden (and the Animals) But the 2 Songs are pretty contemporary though. Only about a year apart.
People just started writing songs that weren't just about girls & cars. The landscape changed.

Amy, I don't know him. He joined the band later on I guess. But they weren't jazz.

Except for the goofy name, I like Foreplay. That is who I saw at Lyman a year or 2 ago.

i may have worked that one too - all the smooth jazz shows are a blur to me!
(er, the name, i think, is Fourplay.)

Plantaholic, one of the bands on your list caught my eye immediately - Betchadupa. I've never heard of them, but having a babushka grandma the name it me right off, so I had to google them, lol!

Amy, I'm kinda like you. Not a country fan, but I do love some of the old bluegrass and cajun stuff, some of the real, old-time music. I don't know a lot of either the music or the performers, but I do love it when I hear it. I love the fiddle. I drove up to a fiddle contest in upstate Vermont one year and it was incredible.

Of course, I also love the old, old blues too. And some of the old gospel stuff.

Yay! Another person not afraid of a little twang in ther music!
i went out with a crazy fiddle player (not sure there's any other kind) for a whaile in TN. Man, the way some of those guys can play!

Amy, I was in awe of some of these fiddlers. And the amazing thing was, so many of them were soooo young! It turned out there was a 12- or 14-year-old (can't quite remember which) there at the VT festival who actually lived two towns over from me in CT. This girl could play, and and that young age. Many other young players too. Just amazing.

Glad to hear Dave is into Foreplay. How do they end the show?? On the song comparison, the Beatles were already miles away from 'Yeah yeah yeah' in 1965. Rubber Soul came out that year.

DiggerDee-
Betchadupa is the band of Neil Finn's son. Some really catchy tunes, and it's interesting to hear how similar his voice is to his father's. 'My Army of Birds and Gulls' is a great song.

I love this thread! Nearly every other post takes my mind to the memory of some really incredible music. It's so nice to hear about everyone's appreciations. Music is so cool. :)

VG, The program is great but the commute is a killer. Classroom
type classes are held at night, usually, but in tree/ shrub ID class
we go on lots of field trips to botanical gardens, cemeteries, etc.
There is a requirement that we also work at Sedgewick gardens
at Long Hill. It's owned by the trustees of reservations, a non-profit land conservation group, as part of the course. The instructor, Dan, is fun and very knowledgeable, and the work is instructional and not too hard. We also help out as needed at other Trustees of Reservations properties around Cape Ann and eastern Mass. It's not the National Arboretum but it's fun and the people are great to work with and the hands-on aspect is invaluable.

did i miss something?

Sounds great drzz!!!

Here is another song I like - it's from the musical Chess - "One Night in Bankok" I thought the lyrics were very clever.

one of my favourite musicals ever - but the British version only - they rewrote it for the US and ruined the whole thing...

I think drzz posted a reply on the wrong thread.

Actually, drzz was referrring to an earlier post up above, where Victor asked her how she liked the program she was enrolled in. I guess it got kind of lost in this long thread!

oh, hee hee, must have skipped right over it.

o wow - i found it - on the morning of the 15th!

Yes - I asked about his reference to 'test'.

Oops, sorry drzz - didn't know you were a "his" and not a "her"!

No sweat,DD. I realized too late that I got long-winded on the inappropriate thread. Does anyone else like Delbert MacClinton?
I guess he's a little like Bob Seager with a little less soul and a little more bite. Before Imus got the axe he promoted several of his favorite music acts and Delbert was one of them that I liked.
I just can't listen to him as long as, say Don Edwards, the singing cowboy. "Coyotes" is a favorite song of his. It was used in the documentary about the nut in Alaska who thought he could live with the Grizzly bears and got himself and his girlfriend eaten
by a bear. Poor bear.

Grizzly Man. Great movie.

The newspaper yesterday made reference to a "grizzly accident". I kid you not. All I could think of were two bears driving. Sad, when newspaper editors don't know the language....

heeheehee.
That's the sort of thing i always have to giggle at. People think i am strange. i'm glad there's another one of us...
; )

LOL, Amy, I prefer to think of myself as "grammatically aware" not strange! I remember once sending in my resume for a proofreading job at a local paper, and not even being called or sent a rejection letter, and I swore I was going to save up every page with every typo (and there were a lot, lol!) and bring them in to the company and tell them they should have hired me. But then I realized I was just being my usual grammar geek and I got over it. (Till the next typo, lol!)

I'm the same way, Dee. I did proofreading and editing. I had a file of all the errors - not typos, but genuine spelling, grammatical and factual errors I found (and reported) in the NY Times.

"...I had a file of all the errors - not typos, but genuine spelling, grammatical and factual errors I found (and reported) in the NY Times..."

omg! That is exactly something I would do, lol! As Amy says, glad to see I'm not alone in this...

Dr Z,
I like Delbert.

Glad to hear it Dave47. I also like Dilbert. Maybe we should start a thread for favorite comic strip/animated TV show. No time now.

The lead singer for the Dave Clark Five died today. Only 64.

The Delbert & Dilbert thread? Maybe go all Bert. Include Ernie's friend from Sesame St, the chimney sweep from Mary Poppins......

You're too much D47. Bert Parks could be the M/C.

Don't leave out Engel.

Fredrick Engel? BTW, who is Bert Parks?

He used to host Miss America.

EngelBERT.

oh . . . does EngelBERT have anything interesting to say on social issues?

I went to see the Dave Clark 5's movie, "Having a Wild Weekend" when it was released in 1965. It was made shortly after "A Hard Day's Night" in an attempt to cash in on the popularity of the British Invasion. It was a terrible movie. I was 12 years old and the only gardening I was doing then was growing potatoes in the dirt in my ears.

We could get Bertrand Russel

one of my all-time favourites...
