Stretch out. Put your feet up. Help yourself to whatever's in the fridge.

Thanks, I have champagne.

Mmmm. I just have my diet Coke.

Wall to wall Wade in the Waters?

Hang tight. Water's gonna get even deeper.

JtotheK:

hi everyone. haven't listened to this john bishop lp in a while!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:13pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey J! Yeah, LP is far superior to the bad 45 edit that I foolishly chased for a while
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:15pm
Funky16Corners:

Somebody ought to do a boxed set on TRC/Tangerine. Very interesting label
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:18pm
JtotheK:

now that you mention it - i've never actually looked up the tangerine discography. but i tend to at least give a listen to the 45s on the label when i come across one i haven't seen before.

I voted for the Salem Travelers version. But who knows what the Electoral College will do.

Uncle Michael:

Speaking of box sets...the new Isaac Hayes...wow.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:19pm
JtotheK:

*still hasn't found Louis Jordan '65 Bars' on Tangerine.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:20pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Still b/p! One more coming. Hold the tally.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:21pm
Funky16Corners:

Louis Jordan was all over the place in the 60s. He has some stuff on Pzazz, too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:22pm
JtotheK:

One more...I will guess either Ramsey Lewis, or Marlena Shaw. (And probably be wrong.)
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:22pm
Funky16Corners:

Clover, buncha San Fran hippies
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:25pm
Uncle Michael:

I didn't know Clover existed as early as 1970. Huey in the band then? McPhee? Alex Call?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:26pm
Uncle Michael:

Call and McFee, yes...Huey, no.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:29pm
coelacanth∅:

clover just played on Elvis' first one. the whole album's a demo.

...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:30pm
coelacanth∅:

hi Larry! and all!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:30pm
Funky16Corners:

Huey didn't join up until a year or two later. Clover goes back to 1967, though I don't believe the recorded until 1969
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:30pm
Funky16Corners:

Hi C!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:32pm
Uncle Michael:

I do not believe MAIT is demos.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:33pm
Funky16Corners:

According to Wiki they were rerecordings of EC demos (with Clover this time)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:34pm
coelacanth∅:

well, i wasn't there; but apparently the record company (stiff) asked Elvis to record it (they booked clover for it) to try to convince Dave Edmonds to record some of the material...or something like that.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:35pm
Alex In Illinois:

We just danced to the Staple Singers version of For What It's Worth.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:35pm
Uncle Michael:

Never hear that tale. I understood EC was Basher's to produce.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:36pm
Funky16Corners:

Hi Alex!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:38pm
coelacanth∅:

that staples' track was Brilliant! (that statement is redundant though)
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:39pm
Funky16Corners:

Yeah, love the Staples, esp their Epic period
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:39pm
northguineahills:

Only have heard the Byrds' version.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:39pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey NGH! Of which song?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:40pm
coelacanth∅:

buffalo springfield track, right?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:40pm
northguineahills:

Poco's
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:41pm
northguineahills:

oh, wait, coel is correct as per usual.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:41pm
coelacanth∅:

hahaha! duh...i just realised what you're doing!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:41pm
Funky16Corners:

Yes, this set is all Buffalo Springfield songs
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:42pm
northguineahills:

I even have the Buffalo Springfield Box set...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:42pm
Funky16Corners:

I love this Yes version
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:42pm
Funky16Corners:

Excellent boxed set. Worth having even if you have the LPs
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:43pm
coelacanth∅:

ngh is the long(est) version of bluebird on that? it seems pretty difficult to find.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:44pm
Funky16Corners:

You can get it on the 2-LP Buffalo Springfield set that came out in 1972. Still pretty easy to track down
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:44pm
northguineahills:

I need a tulpa to help me put my furniture together so I can put my turntables up to my hi-fi (first world problems)

@coel: Crap, that one is very damn long, it might be....
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:44pm
Funky16Corners:

I think I played the long Bluebird a while back
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:47pm
Uncle Michael:

Play a whole set of Clancy.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:47pm

What Expecting To Fly will we get?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:48pm
Funky16Corners:

None tonight (he said sheepishly)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:49pm
coelacanth∅:

i don't know why that bluebird's been illusive to me then. (maybe because i've been reluctant to duplicate what's on the albums...)
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:50pm
Uncle Michael:

Early Bonnie makes me mooney like a schoolboy.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:50pm
Funky16Corners:

Yeah, right?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:51pm
Uncle Michael:

An her second album...killer.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:53pm
Uncle Michael:

I hung out with an old friend in L.A. this spring who had dated her for a while in the '80s. She even came to play a show with him in Lawrence, KS back then. I wasn't there but my mrs. was.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:53pm
Funky16Corners:

I only saw her once, in 1979
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:54pm
Uncle Michael:

I've seen her a few times...but nothing as intimate as that bar gig I missed.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:55pm
Funky16Corners:

I'd love to see her do a solo acoustic show
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:56pm
Uncle Michael:

The friend I visited is very tight with Mike Finnigan, and plays with him often...who's in her touring band these days.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:56pm
Uncle Michael:

acoustic would be nice.

"In 2009, [Hugh Hefner] received a "worst supporting actor" nomination for a Razzie award for his performance as himself in Miss March. On his official Twitter account he joked about this nomination: 'Maybe I didn't understand the character.'"

Funky16Corners:

Dean, vice versa, Etta predates Bonnie significantly
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:02am
coelacanth∅:

i never thought of Etta whilst hearing Bonnie...or vicey versy.
i have to try that out!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 12:04am
Funky16Corners:

I think Bonnie is a somewhat softer voice, but I think Etta was an influence, esp on the ballads
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:09am
coelacanth:

okay - still can't hear it! -but i'm only somewhat familiar with Bonnie's music...like 2 albums' worth, kind of...
i'm in no position to deny it, for sure!

...'night!
