Good choices. Got any more nickels?
I clearly remember those days in the 1950's.

Here's an uptown version of rockabilly.
That's a classic!
I saw Little Feat in a free concert outdoors at UCLA sometime around 1971. They were GREAT!

So great. Beautiful production.
This song was originally from the musical "Hair". I wonder if I'm the only one on here old enough to have seen a live performance of "Hair" in the late 60's.
Probably not though....
There are some (a very few?) people on here who are older than me, but did they actually see a performance of "Hair"? We'll never know...
Tuba Skinny - Goin' Back Home - Royal Street
Erika Lewis - Vocals
Authentic Jugband!
That was a fun one. Definitely worth the nickel!
Tuba Skinny has other videos on YouTube-- I emjoy their stuff.
Some people may not be familiar with the term #Jugband-- so here's the definition:
The Jug: The signature instrument is an empty glass or stoneware jug. A player buzzes their lips into the opening—similar to playing a trumpet or tuba—to create a low, trombone-like bass note.
Washtub Bass: A single-string bass made from a metal washtub, a broom handle, and baling wire or cord.
Washboard: Scraped with thimbles or spoons to handle the percussion.
Other Homemade Items: Spoons, animal bones, a stovepipe, a jaw harp (jew's harp), or a comb wrapped in tissue paper (acting like a kazoo).
Back in my folkie days I used to enjoy jug band music.
I particulary enjoyed listening to the Jim Kweskin Jug Band, featuring Maria Muldaur singing "I'm a Woman", a fantastic combination and the song itself was really fun.
I did as well! (I listened to Jug Bands . . in fact I remember listening to Jim Kweskin. Also maria Muldaur!)
In fact along with a few friends we wanted to start our own jug band. We actually started but unfortunately never followed through.
Goodness, I do love a good clarinet solo and blended soul! The lady lead is so good (and she does not have a microphone for that clarity of voice!
Here's another of their performances:
Yes Sir, That's My Baby
Stellar! My new 'girlfriend' (the lead singer) has been added to with the clarinet, trumpet, and trombone players (not yet ready to add the banjo player). Back in the day. . . I played clarinet and trombone in school. That is some good full-bodied sound! (Wall to wall sound.)
Robert Johnson - Crossroad
True "hardcore" Mississippi Delta blues . . . many people don't like that srtyle.
I like it.
I do as well-- bought one of his albums. (Actually back in the day I listened to a lot of that type of blues . . .).
PSY - Gangnam Style
#Psy Gangnam Style
#K-Pop
PSY - Gangnam Style
Anyone remember this?
(Anyone not remember this?)
Anyone remember that-- and wish they didn't?
For some time Gangnam Style held the record for the largest number of views on YouTube. It was highly popular...but for some folks it was in excess.
However IIRC it was the first Kpop popular outside of Korea.
Gangnam was cool when it was cool. Seems dated now.
Definitely!
I suppose its of "historical importance" as it was probably the first Kpop heard by many in the west.
Also its not typical of most Kpop today-- now that's all popular all girl or all boy bands...
I can't get it.
PSY - Gangnam Style
I can't get it.
It was a trmendous hit at the time. (Now it seems dated, perhaps even a bit silly.).
Maybe it was censored or cut off somewhere-- it might have been too controversial for some people.
(I don't have the technical skills to put out a copy in an other formats you might be able to view)
No problem.
Pretty sure this is on every jukebox.
That was a great song.
Agreed.
blue moon of kentucky - al kooper
Mountain Dew- The Stanley Bros.
Sounds like something from Lee Mace's Ozark Opry. The Ozark Opry distributed some of the Stanley Brothers and Clinch Mountain Boys records but I doubt they ever played at Osage Beach.
I really love Bluegrass music. Here's a guy who had a significant impact on my tastes in music:
Brantly Kearns - No One Will Ever Know
I really love Bluegrass music. Here's a guy who had a significant impact on my tastes in music: Brantly Kearns
I had never been much into Country & Western, much less even knew the term "Bluegrass Music". But one day, (IIRC I was a Sophmore at UNC) I met a new person, a freshman named Brantly Kearns. He was authentic "Mountain Folk". One weekend I was with a bunch of friends and we went out to a cabin one of them had deep in the woods.
Brantly was with us. At the time he was known solely as a fiddler. He played the fiddle that night. The Orange Blossom Special. I was amazed-- I had never heard anything like that before!
The guy was incredible. From that time on I was a big fan of #Bluegrass!
Nice video.
I like a wide variety of music. I was mostly a fan of rock in my teens and 20s. I began to appreciate bluegrass and country in my 30s.
In my teens....
Eric Clapton - After Midnight
I did become a fan of "outlaw" country in my 20s.
I have found this to be a good song to grieve a relationship that had to end.
Billy Joe Royal - Burned Like a Rocket
Mississippi John Hurt - You Got to Walk That Lonesome Valley
Kris Kristofferson & Roseanne Cash - Loving Her Was Easier
John Anderson died this week. I enjoyed many of his songs.
John Anderson - Seminole Wind.
For comparison..
