IT is an animated short film of 74 seconds.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6t1PXuz7Nc<br /><br />Greetings from Franco, DeutschlandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-13501095711591760452009-05-12T20:37:00.000-04:002009-05-12T20:37:00.000-04:00Now it's items like this that get you a specia...Now it's items like this that get you a special tip of the Hatlo hat. I recall Gypsy Rose (or GR as we called it), your basic 69 cent, 24th pressing of long dead grapes rotgut that got me wasted and ill more than a few times growing up and throwing up in the early 70's. Truly foul tasting stuff (hardly accurately described in the spot), but hey it did the job.<br /><br />Thanks gain. I'll try to stay in touch as my basement is full of reel to reel tapes with airchecks of your FMU show. I was an avid listener back in the day and almost always rolled tape or had someone do it for me. When I move out of my Brooklyn hovel, I hope to sort it all lot.<br /><br />Met you some years ago at some party and barely got to thank you for all the music you exposed me to, so allow me to do so now.<br /><br />John Lightning Radio NewYork International & WBCQ<br /><br />Johnlightning.comJohn Lightninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946169052629762995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-86412253393143885802009-05-09T08:40:00.000-04:002009-05-09T08:40:00.000-04:00the above was meant to go under the Roy Buchanan c...the above was meant to go under the Roy Buchanan comments...The Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328225246284521960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-56829687878061936962009-05-09T07:13:00.000-04:002009-05-09T07:13:00.000-04:00"The Jam pt 1" got played in almost ever..."The Jam pt 1" got played in almost every city, it peaked at #39 on Billboard's Pop charts in April of '62 (#16 R&B) and probably went higher on Cash Box's chart since CB was a bit kinder to indie labels.<br />For more info on Buchanan's career Phil Carson's Roy Buchanan:American Axe (Back Beat Books, 2001) is worth reading. It was probably the success of "The Jam" that brought Leiber & Stoller's attention (Daisy was a subsidiary of their Red Bird label).The Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328225246284521960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-51765140147203379022009-05-09T06:44:00.000-04:002009-05-09T06:44:00.000-04:00Thank you for all the wonderful fortified wine pos...Thank you for all the wonderful fortified wine posts, the Eddie Kirkland, the Charlie Christian, the Slim Harpo, and on and on...<br /><br />Long live self-determination in matters of intonation!<br /><br />And everybody knows old out of tune pianos make the best music.<br /><br />Check out Pete Brown's alto playing on the Coleman Hawkins at Newport record.

I particularly liked the fact that the Ramones opened for Jimmy Reed's last gig ever. Even though the Ramones have boasted, in print, that their music was totally free of any blues influences (they're right), I still like the idea of two different worlds colliding like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-10799745967799538422009-05-08T16:30:00.000-04:002009-05-08T16:30:00.000-04:00"There is something to be said for that out-o..."There is something to be said for that out-of-tune thing. It kinda stretches the tone".<br /><br />There's a telling moment in Taylor Hackford's Hail Hail Rock & Roll where Keith Richards tries to tune Chuck Berry's guitar and he takes great offense, if you notice it's the b-string (which is always out of tune on his records), Chuck obviously wants it tuned to whatever he hears in his head. Speaking of out of tune have you heard the track Life Is Hard on the new Dylan record?<br />He's singing so far off key it's funny. Pitch correction software should be outlawed.The Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328225246284521960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-54757586518057319252009-05-08T15:59:00.000-04:002009-05-08T15:59:00.000-04:00"...If you notice, Chuck Berry was always out of t..."...If you notice, Chuck Berry was always out of tune also, which brings up the question-- who's to say what In Tune is?"<br /><br />Before I bought a tuner, I was out of tune, too. There is something to be said for that out-of-tune thing. It kinda stretches the tone.<br /><br />After 43 years, I still can't tune a guitar. Or play one, for that matter.<br /><br />:)<br /><br />But like you say, who's to say?J.D.
