  1. Here is another obscure piece with phenomenal guitar playing, from 1952,
  2. I have been following Angela on YouTube for a few weeks now, just wanted to post another Doors cover, her use of harmonics is impressive, how she blends them into the piece. I'm curious what tunings she uses.
  3. Dylan is probably the most prolific song writer of our times, no doubt, he is an incredibly talented artist.
  4. He is capable of proper verbal communication, in the studio anyways, so the mumbling thing may just be a cover for him because he can't remember the words or he is just tired of singing the same thing over and over again, night after night,. I like Dylan's writing. He has written great songs, but since Nashville Skyline it seems other artist cover his songs better than he does. In the clip you shared he seems to be covering Curtis Stigers
  5. That's one of my favorite Dylan records, pre mumbler era. I saw a video of Dylan playing recently, I noticed there was a person doing hand language for the deaf, how ironic the only people who could understand what he was singing were the deaf members of the audience, but then I realized the interpreter was probably guessing too!
  6. In the jazz world he was well known, a child prodigy who at age 16 was invited to join Miles Davis, who was at that time the biggest name in Jazz. Joey was a one man band, piano, keyboards, Hammond B3, Trumpet, Tenor Saxophone. RIP Joey, thanks for sharing your gifts with us mortals.
  7. Well if there is a bar and a food joint close, this place would be heaven, and as for rockers and cars, don't forget the Fab Four, beside a cool song, Baby You Can Drive My Car, George was into racing for a while at least. If I recall correctly he collected Porsches, Paul own several Astin Martin's. Also Jeff Beck has a taste for wheels too.
  8. Viruses? We don't need no stinking viruses!
  9. Don't forget the acid in coffee. Tea doesn't have the acid found in coffee
  10. You eliminated a lot of sugar, that helps with gut health, that helped you lose weight, the loss of weight helped with your breathing, maybe.. Are you drinking decaf tea? If not, green tea is loaded with caffeine that will make you feel energized!
  11. Trust me, after two or three trips across Texas from east to west and vs at 55mph will convince anyone that Texas sucks too! Miles and miles of miles and miles. But the food was good.
  12. One good thing about Oklahoma,, It ain't Texas! I should explain, I drove semis coast to coast for a few years back in the 70s, remember the 55 mph speed limits of that era? If you picked up a load in LA, and had to deliver it in Atlanta, you could choose to take Interstate 10 or 20 and spend one or two days in Texas, or you could take 40, and save a lot of time. A big plus.
  13. I traveled through some rather off the beaten path type places in various states, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Bama, some places you just don't want to get out of the car. People look at you like you just walked in on something you weren't supposed to see..
  14. If you see celebrity spokespersons you always though of as a young whipper snapper doing ads for AARP, you may be old.
  15. I believe mortgages are common in many nations other than the US. And believe me, i do feel lucky, even blessed to be in the US. It ain't perfect but neither is any other country.
  16. I worked with a young lady from Haiti, I asked her if she would return her reply "HECK NO" But with a little different h word. My neighbor who is from Bucharest? Nope. My Vietnamese friends? Not a fing chance. One of the custodians that cleaned our office complex spent 3 years in a prison in Africa because he had a Bible in his house. He really likes it here. One of the men who developed a program used to monitor air quality was from China, he spent 12 years pushing a wheelbarrow filled with rocks to build an island, his crime? His father was a mathematics professor in China when Mao took over. He is in no hurry to return. One of the hydro engineers was from Jordan, came here to study engineering, he goes to Jordan every two years. No way is he ever going to move back. In fact the only one who said she missed her native land was a Russian. She said she has to many choices here, back in Russia the governmnent told you where to live, what to study where to work, and she only had to wait 15 years for a car she paid on all those years. She left in 92 to come here. She has every opportunity to buy a ticket and return, but, nostalgia my warm the heart, reality is quite different.
  17. Don't be sorry, it's a sore subject with me,. I over reacted.
  18. I worked with 6 Chinese nationals who are now proud Americans, they agree with you,!
  19. Yeah, we Americans are so evil, vile, and disgusting that even our Catholic priest are crap. Nothing lime self loathing to win brownie points from people who hate us anyways. I worked with so many immigrants who have left China, Russia, India, Brazil, and even Great Britain to come here I lost count. To a person, they all expressed a greater appreciation of this nation than 85% of the Americans I know.
  20. I'm with you on this issue. Add China and Africa to my no go list. Along with a host of other places . As for population, it does play a roll, but so does modern travel, an infected person can literally travel around the planet, spreading crap around major airports, filled with people who then spread it to every corner orvevdry city before the first symptoms appear. We will be victims of our accomplishments,
  21. If everyone tells you you look good for your age, you might be getting old.
  22. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
  23. Mines an Scottish and Italian with a touch of scorpion
