thebes Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Jonette Nopolitano. Greatest pipes on the planet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 You want range, how about Glenn Hughes from Deep Purple and Trapeze. 5 octave, great scream, and soul to boot. Beautiful post Indy..btw, Jon Anderson of Yes' lyrics are sometimes selected for the consonants in the words and the sound of the word as much as for meaning. Just witness Tales from Topographic Oceans, some 'lyrics' are in no known language.. And I've always been a huge Robert Plant fan. Beautiful lyrics, crooning one minute, belting out the blues like the best Mississipi Delta singer the next. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myhamish Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 hey thebes, did you say pipes? Now we're talkin', laddie. Favourite vintage pipes are vintage silver and ivory Hendersons with real ebony - these were my Great Grandfather's. Favourite pick up and play pipes are a set of '82 David Naills with Naill chanter - African blackwood and synthetic ivory so there's no border hassles. Slante Mhath!!

Slante Mhath!! Ohmygod! Men in skirts blowing on bladders. This is a strange forum indeed. They had to invent a very special word to describe bagpipes: canterwailing They do come in handy at funerals though. Telll me why do the Scotts hold so many funerals, what do they do- hang out with the Italian army? Now Johnette is the lead singer of Concrete Blonde and in full throttle tectonic plates in the earth's crust have been known to shift.

Myhamish Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Mr. Thebes and the twins mosey on into the local establishment with an octopus. Mr. Thebes declares that his critter can play any instrument in the room and 50 backs up his outrageous claim. So the fiddler hands over the fiddle, the octopus picks it up and plays beautifully, 50 to the octopus. Same for the drums, the guitar and banjo... Then the piper declares he is sure to meet the bet and come out on top. So he hands over his pipes and the octopus turns them first one way then the other, and not a sound comes out of it. Mr. Thebes looks little nervous and asks the octopus whats wrong. "Play it? I'm still trying to get her out of these pajamas!!!!!!!!!

itsawomanthing Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 ok - this deserves a re-post since I've been thinking about the question. Male: Bass: JD Sumner. "Sumner joined the Blackwood Brothers in 1954 and sang bass in the quartet until 1965. He was known as the worlds lowest bass singer and also was a prolific songwriter. J.D. was responsible for creating the first customized bus for travel. He was also one of the founding members of the Gospel Music Association and the National Quartet Convention. He later sang with the Stamps Quartet, the backup group for Elvis Presley. He was one of the original Masters V Quartet." [direct quote regarding Mr. Sumner from The Blackwood Brothers website] Tennessee Ernie Ford. "Ford has sold more than 60 million records worldwide--an astonishing number, even by today's standards. Even more astonishing...to date, more than 40 million of that number represent the body of work he became best known for...gospel, hymns and spirituals." [direct quote from his website] I grew up on this music folks. It's in my blood! Still like to hear a good gospel tune every now and then.

IndyKlipschFan Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Greg suggested Barry White... Wow, your right on here... With his "Love Unlimited Orchestra..." With the exception of Lou Rawls..(who was not quite as low...) No one had that soul, love me for me. unbelievable register sound wise of Barry's low octaves or smoothness... . As big as he was, you always assumed he always had the ladies... Might sound "corny" to today's standards, but pour a glass of wine.. crank up Barry... You just might SCOOOOOOORRRE with the ladies!!!! Something never to be confused with Eminem today. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I would have known of his effect on women back when I was single. I did learn, the hard way, that Leonard Cohen sure has a negative effect on "the mood".

You played Leonard Cohen AND managed to get married....all I can say Sputnik is "WOW" --------------------- A goddess - she is especially alluring in the warm glow of the fireplace. Every syllable of her body language says green light. A young and dashing Sputnik then opens a second bottle of wine and pours two glasses. He puts on a record to play soft background music. He dims the lights. She purrs and nestles closer. Leonard Cohen then "sings" about death and despair. Her bedroom eyes slowly glaze over as she is transported and begins to sob uncontrollably. Completely untrained in psycho-analysis, he is utterly helpless and woefully unprepared for what is to follow. He will eventually be resurrected by the love of a good woman, but not this night.

itsawomanthing Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Good heavens Sputnik -- rein it back in buddy boy!!!!
