While I rarely shy away from breaking rules, I think stating the personal significance of our selections was a great idea. I would sure like to hear why someone is choosing to share a particular video no matter how trite the reason. Here’s one I love. It was used for the end titles for the movie “Idiocracy” and I remembered hearing it many years ago. It was easy to track down in youtube and it’s a great feel good tune to kick off a weekend. I like the way Jimmy Dean says nine but only holds up five fingers. Also, I like how Buck Owens seems to lose the tune around 1:15 and Don Rich carries it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I don’t play covers. I argue with a musician friend of mine that says by playing covers you learn. While i think he is right, i can’t get past the fact that i’m copying -- and copycat-ism has always been a turn off for me, not just musically; but in stories, protests, or whatever. However, for some reason, i enjoy listening to covers. Ran across this on You Tube -- spoiler alert ... this really isn’t the Beatles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice except for the very high solo guitar notes that seemed a bit off. JJK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to hang out with Rita Coolidge last fall after a concert. Since I bear a striking resemblance to James Bond.............. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputnik Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 After several attempts over my lifetime to be taken on as a groupie, I finally got to meet my all-time heart-throb, Judy Collins. She hasn’t lost a thing over the years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s the same song with Stills backing up Judy. I like the studio version better but the banter is worth watching. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to hang out with Rita Coolidge last fall after a concert. Sweet ... glad you had that opportunity and took it. I got a photo of me & Brian May taken at a 3D Photography show (he’s a big 3D photographer and took photos ALL the time while touring with Queen -- and the photos are so cool to look at). I have never asked for one -- i will take one if happens without me having to ask; so I had the chance to take one with Brian and couldn’t turn it down.(Unlike the time that i met the actress Rhona Mitra, who is not only BREATHTAKING, but has that cool British accent. I have a phone on my camera, but like i said, i never ask. She did stop and chat for bit and to this day, i regret not going fanboy for a minute and taking a photo for a nice memory). Brian is a very nice guy. We’ve met a few times and i’ve got to talk to him one-on-one which was enjoyable. It was super cool because i saw him later and walked up and said, “Brian,” and he looked up and said “Steve.” I nearly stopped dead in my tracks realizing “he remembered my name.” Talked about a certain guitar that i was having trouble finding and he told me to email him (he lives in London and we were in Los Angeles at the time) and he’d help me out -- AND HE DID. When i got around to it a month or so later, I emailed. He replied to my email saying that his guitar tech would hook me up with this guitar shop in London who had the guitar. That same day, i get an email from the guy that runs the place confirming that he had the guitar that i was looking for. So, now that guitar is special to me because of the story and Brian’s personal involvement helping me get it. A couple years later, I attended a short Queen show that was before they kicked off their North American tour. A guy i know was on the invite list and couldn’t make it, so i went in his place. Got to meet and talk to Pete (Brian’s guitar tech) and thank him for his help. He remembered doing it ... or at least acted like he remembered, which either was nice. Haven’t been to a concert in a couple of years now. Guess it will be a while before i get to one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to 'like' your great parts and 'sad' the others at the same time. I miss live music very much and I feel like I may have to stay away for a bit longer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
