Audio Flynn Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 The ladies have departed west on a ladies mission; so the Flynn dudes have the house for the wekend. 10 year old Aaron is a bit of a harpy on Dad needing to play a video game every now and then. We got PS2 Hot Shots golf on the 55 Sony. Dish Sirius "old vinyl" station on the satellite in the optical input of the Sherwood Newcastle HT PRE (1999 vintage 20 bit DACs). It is a heretical 2.1 configuration that certainly is not purist ( would most likely make the Parrot cringe); but you wany to put the hammer down for Smoke on the Water. How many of the song names can you match with the band? If you do not know 90% of these songs consider adjusting you playlist away from Mettalica or Barry Manillow. "In my Life" Midnight Rambler Marakesh Express It's only R&R China Grove Space Oddity Major Tom Feel like makin' Love Behind Blue Eyes American Woman Volunteers of America Layla Benie and the jets On the thin ice of a new day TIme is on my side Hello I love you While my guitar gently weeps Black Dog Sea of Joy Black Majic Woman It about as decadent as I get at 45 years old A more than nice departure from living out of a suitcase and working 60 hours in 5 days hour business rat race.

That's what I remember without peeking. Blind Faith really sticks out for me...the album was an 8th grade graduation gift and I still listent too it way too much.

jt1stcav Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I failed miserably...[] Just because I work at a Guitar Center doesn't mean I know jack-squat about matching rock'n'roll bands to their music (and I'm 42 and should know better which band/songwriter created the music that I grew up with...sheesh)![] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heideana Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Opps, I forgot about Clapton's derek days...for good or bad, I lost track of him after Blind Faith and suspect someone else here knows he's blues history better then I. I didn't pay him much attention until his George Harrison memorial and saw his bounderies being stretched again by that material again, especially the Indian orchestra. Now he's back with Cream for a few shows...I can't wait to hear whatever material is released! Baker is such a hot drummer and Bruce is so post-modern cool and the two's jazz groove always seemed to push Clapton out of his comfort zone to new levels. Dream would be have Stevie Winwood join them on guitar/keyboard and vocals and watch them achieve nirvana...hopefully the Cream re-union material won't be destroyed by overprocessing! Speaking of dreams, did anyone catch the Floyd re-union? I'd lost track of them after "wish you were here" and forgotten how good Gilmour is. I also initially poo-pooed that event until a friend sent me a DVD of their set...made me tear abit and I decide if they could put their differences aside as the ultimate metaphor of golf playing coorporate rock business men with Oracle sized egos at war, then the rest of the developed world might be able to grow-up, get along and help those needing help without engaging in colonialism. I guess this really makes me really old enough to pre-metallica as well. I saw a bit of their therapy movie channel surfing and was a bit appalled. I think whoever the member was that chatters non-stop would make me pretty crazy over the long-haul. My partner called out from the kitchen and voiced the same thought and he wasn't even watching or paying attention to the storyline...wow!

Timmikid Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 got them except guess who, blind faith (shame on me), elton john, airport and the doobies. Not too bad for a 37 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBrennan Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Flynn---As I recall the band was Atlantic's Miami studio band. When Atlantic's Jerry Wexler decided to stop farming out recording to the Memphis and Muscle Shoals studios he took some Muscle Shoals players down to Miami and opened a studio there. Allman was one of the fellas. As recall the fella who ran Fame in Muscle Shoals was very tight-fisted with his musicians and lost several entire studio bands to raids from Nashville and other studios. One band bolted, opened their own studio, Muscle Shoals Sound, and did very well. I'm going from memory here, I have a book "Sweet Soul Music" with all the facts but can't find it, that drives me nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I got em all too Flynn..my age is showing..but all great music. I always get a charge out of "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" on Derek and the Dominos album..it was about Clapton chasing his best friend's wife (Patti, wife of George Harrison) and it was released before it came to light. Now that takes kahonas!! Of course, Layla was about Patti too. Steve PS..of course Duane Allman was there..along with Jim Gordon, Carl Radle and Bobby Whitlock, who played the piano..
