    Nothing like the sound of cracklin vinyl or a tonearm needle skipping along a record. The only ones left in use are by hip hop DJs, and they're playing records backwards...ha .
    Digital music rules! including the remastered oldies.

    Hey Rob

    Digital music may rule...but how many kids today know what's on the "flip side?" ....

    They probably don't even know the term flip side...

    What a shame...

    WOW,almost looks like the 60's again.Although, my victrolla if any one remembers that word,had a fat part in the middle to stack up to 20 records and automacacally change to the next record.that was pretty advanced back then, now almost feels ancient.What is a 45 anyway.?At least we can bring back that pld sound together one more time..Thanks Rob for that picture of beauty.

    I'm curious ,how many people actual ever use a turntable at all now. my oldest son tried to put a record on my super B$O turntable about 15 years ago and broke the arm. Vinyl does not last long in a humid basement.

    2. Courtney Cox ( Dancing in the Dark )
    3. BB King...needs no explanation,
    Ben E. King ( Stand by Me), King Curtis ( A Whiter Shade of Pale)
    4. 17 minutes ( and sometimes the scariest 17 minutes of my life...you will have to ask Kenny Gold at the reunion about that one... lol)
    5. George Harrison's wife. (Pattie Boyd-Harrison) I think "Layla was also written about her as well)
    Bonus. It is either Rickenbacker or Fender...I'll go with Rickenbacker

     

  • At 6/18/2006 2:32 PM , Blogger Rob said...

    Did'nt Ina-gadda-da-vida really mean In the Garden of Eden ? I broke the top of my dashboard once from thumping too hard in one of those 17 minute 'experiences' Don't let my kids know about that one OK ? LOL

     

  • At 6/18/2006 8:11 PM , Blogger Mitch said...

    Rob...I believe you are correct about the title. I think the band was in a "drunken stupor" when they recorded it... and decided to leave it in anyway. It was the "sixties".... It really didn't matter...lol

     

  • At 6/19/2006 10:09 AM , Blogger augie said...

    The third King is Freddie King an awesome Texas guitar player. In the early 70's Leon Russell formed Shelter records and put out 3 Freddie King albums with classic backup band including Leon on Piano.

     

  • At 6/19/2006 9:32 PM , Blogger Rob said...

    OK Kup you are good. The 3 KINGS I was looking for is BB King, Albert King & Freddie King. (Augie, I'm impressed you know and like him , he could lay down some wicked licks and his voice was so strong)Ben E King was a great R&B man , but the top 3 are in a class of their own.
    (Hey Kup , Procol Harem did whiter shade....)
    4) too Easy
    5) Right Kup! - good one
    Bonus question- Good try, but it is..LES PAUL, later to be made by Gibson. He began toying with the concept in the 40s , but finally got the chance to record the 1st elelctric music around '52'. Great American hero who never has gotten enough credit.

    OK Stay tuned for the next one ....
    Warning , I'm going to step it up a notch.

     

  • At 6/19/2006 9:47 PM , Blogger Rob said...
