Re: What song are you listening to right now?
1851with all the protests that have been going on, the only song that has been stuck in my head lately is "Do you hear the people sing" from Les Mis
I used to LOVE the Ramblers! Saw them in Chapel Hill, NC (their home town) and again in Northern Virginia. Tommy Thompson was still the driving force then, RIP, and Merchant's lunch is still a clever, funny song. "Hard Times" was well done, but I always like "Daniel" with the harmonies and counterpoint.Hiker wrote: Mon Mar 30, 2020 9:57 pm Hard Times by Stephen Foster, performed by the Red Clay Ramblers
Jealousy is not an admirable trait. Still, wish I could say the same. I envy your experience!
I had a Guild Artist Award for a time, but I could never be as good as those jazz guys. Stuck to finger style and my ol' Martin. But it sure gives me an giant appreciation for those guys. Mundell Lowe. Man, he was smooth. Loads of vinyl down in the basement. Jim Hall. SoCal back in the day fairly oozed excellent jazz gigs.rolandson wrote: Wed Jun 03, 2020 6:50 pmJealousy is not an admirable trait. Still, wish I could say the same. I envy your experience!
His touch is one of the few that I haven't been able to cop. I can read the charts (transcriptions), but the flavor eludes me. I never had the opportunity to meet him and I'd've sorely loved to have 'taken a lesson' from him...it just never ... wait for it ... wait ...
Came to Pass...
It did.
What a lovely rendition...rolandson wrote: Tue Jun 02, 2020 11:44 pm Misty ala Joe Pass...
A version that I struggled with for decades, getting close once. Now in the throws or arthritic delight, a distant memory.

If I botched linking the youtube (it appears I did), sorry...it's been a long time and things have changed.
