Dave1291 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 @babadono you're not related to Claude & Neil are ya? Asking for a friend. Thought you were from up that way just wasn't positive til now. Ohio did do ya a solid though when Mark Chatfield joined Bob and the boys. Got a heads up a couple weeks ago and he's gonna start workin with his old band "The Godz" here in the Columbus area doin some shows. THAT should prove to be interesting in a good way. All these old guys steppin back but they're still gonna play birthday parties & smaller gigs if there is enough money involved. lol Now back to our regular programming Tony Bennett. Sorry @ClaudeJ1!

babadono Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Depends on how far back you go I suppose as far as relations go...Bob Seger played at my high school dances back in the day before he hit the big time and way before Mark joined him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seegar Ave now maybe? Sumpin though. Bob would slide down here and play Cbus a lot and that's where I met him. Mark always told me that someday he was gonna play w/him and by golly he did. We STILL laff about that when we bump. He ALWAYS reminds me of that too. lolol They'll never quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His recordings with Lady Gaga are some of my favorites and I am not a big fan of Gaga. Her music is just not my taste but like Tony Gaga has a great trained voice. RIP Lady Gaga was a very good jazz singer going no where when she was advised to switch to contemporary rock. I'm thinking that was some of what got them together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a 3 maybe 4 story yellow brick high school on a corner. It was a little ways from his house I think. He had me so lost I just kicked back. The street in front of the school was named after some rocker. I wasn't taking too many notes just enjoying the ride. Thinking it was after my Danley back massage at @ClaudeJ1's place. Felt like I was the sound test crash dummy again after that. 2 hours ago, rmlowz said: Had to get a FM amp-booster to listen then LOL Been there done that and got busted by my dad for messing up the TV somehow. roflmao Reception here in Duckburg STILL sucks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Knew about this last week when I saw the news. Somehow just missed seeing the thread on it here. Tony Bennett wow, one of the best ever and one of the smoothest male singers ever. Also. I mean who could you compare him to that had that velvety voice that was still masculine? I was talking earlier and the only other I could think of in that respect would be Nat King Cole. Both are in the big choir now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 @JohnJ Yea, remember to give it a couple minutes before you walk over and sit where I was sitting. The micro chip with the good songs on it is in the bananna peel stuffed between the slats on the bench just like always. 10 minutes ago, babadono said: No Don't make me find an emoji for that one tough guy! 😂 7 minutes ago, JohnJ said: All right kiddo, quiet over there Don't feed him John.
