thebes Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 For some time now I think we've been relying to much on our inside experts to answer the pressing audio questions of the day. Searching about I've managed to track down a couple of old buddies, Joilet Jake and his brother Elwood, collectively know as the Blues Brothers. There's something about two guys who will speed down a road in the middle of the night wearing really dark shades that is confidence inspiring . They've agreed to respond to a question or two so I thought I'd start if off: I believe fancy high priced speaker wire will make my system sound better. Do you agree? Oh by the way, they can get a little lazy in responding so feel free to borrow their pic and respond in a Blues Brothers like fashion.

oldtimer Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 You need this system. It's got cop interconnects, cop internal wiring, cop decoupling , cop speakers, cop amps, cop crossovers, cop speaker wires, cop cabinet bracing, cop room treatments, cop interface, and not only that, the cigarette lighter is an easy fix...

Daddy Dee Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 And now people. And now people. When I woke up this morning, I heard adisturbing sound. I said when I woke up this morning, I heard adisturbing sound. What I heard was the jingle-jangle of a thousand lostsouls, departed from this life.Don't be lost when the time comes, for the day of the Lord cometh like a thief in the night. -- Rev.

IndyKlipschFan Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 What kind of music do you usually have here? Claire: Oh, we got both kinds. We got country *and* western. What I loved about the above quote was those that have no clue, got a good laugh... And those that DO know the difference, did too! What about Bluegrass too? As for chicken wire.. As a college kid, I was the lead singer in a top 40 cover type band.. Think Loverboy, Mellencamp, Tom Petty, 80's type "one hit wonder" music that was fun! (yes where people drank beer and danced too.... hehehehehe) Anyhow, we got booked in a small town once in a bar that was not a good fit for us, music wise. Some drunk kept yelling in the second set FREEBIRD!! We did not know it..... I said from the stage... "OK, We will play "Freebird" when you dance like Michael Jackson!! He was really drunk... He jumps up on stage... Does a very bad rendition of Michael Jackson dancing... as the bass player and drummer and keys... start into "Billy Jean" and we had a good laugh, and someone through a empty can of beer at him hahahaha I "understood" the chicken wire thing.. hehehehehehe So to be fair..The guitar player starts into the "Freebird" song. (Thank goodness he kinda knew it...) .... Bass player and drummer followed with some interesting keys too..... I improvised... I know it sucked.. They all laughed at us..too... Trying to please them.. For the rest of the night they put up with our choices in songs and danced.... and drank a lot of beer.. And Mister Michael Jackson was our best friend... hahahahahaha Everything worked out. Before that moment.. it was a tough crowd, trust me! We were asked back.. but kindly moved on.. I would of had to really learn all the words to Freebird, and the song which sounds simple enough..is actually quite hard... You need to have two guitarists and two drummers... hahahahahahaha Now "Rawhide"... We knew that one! Enjoy!!! http://youtube.com/watch?v=QbN2O94AdG4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Great story Indy. Don't know the lyrics to Freebird but I got Rawhide memorized: Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' Keep movin', movin', movin', Though they're disapprovin', Keep them doggies movin' Rawhide! Don't try to understand 'em, Just rope and throw and grab 'em, Soon we'll be living high and wide. Boy my heart's calculatin' My true love will be waitin', be waiting at the end of my ride. Move 'em on, head 'em up, Head 'em up, move 'em out, Move 'em on, head 'em out Rawhide! Set 'em out, ride 'em in Ride 'em in, let 'em out, Cut 'em out, ride 'em in Rawhide. Full Lyrics Rollin', rollin', rollin' Rollin', rollin', rollin' Rollin', rollin', rollin' Rollin', rollin', rollin' Rawhide! Rollin', rollin', rollin' Though the streams are swollen Keep them dogies rollin' Rawhide! Rain and wind and weather Hell-bent for leather Wishin' my gal was by my side. All the things I'm missin', Good vittles, love, and kissin', Are waiting at the end of my ride CHORUS Move 'em on, head 'em up Head 'em up, move 'em on Move 'em on, head 'em up Rawhide Count 'em out, ride 'em in, Ride 'em in, count 'em out, Count 'em out, ride 'em in Rawhide! Keep movin', movin', movin' Though they're disapprovin' Keep them dogies movin' Rawhide! Don't try to understand 'em Just rope, throw, and brand 'em Soon we'll be living high and wide. My hearts calculatin' My true love will be waitin', Be waitin' at the end of my ride. Rawhide! Rawhide! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
