I just want my own band!!!!!!

It's never so bad that you have to lower yourself to blues.

Never, ever, ever....

Never ever ever ever.

I'd rather I never woke up this morning than play the blues.

 

[Greg_L]

Well, someone needs to every once in a while. Just to let you know you're loved.

I don't need to be loved, or hated. I'm fine either way.

 

[RFR]

Yeah, you are your own fucking island.

 

[Bubba po]

Yeah, you are your own fucking island.

Norman is an island.

(From the Readers' Digest book of Treasurable Misheard Quotes, 1973 coffee-table edition)

 

[Greg_L]

Yeah, you are your own fucking island.

It's not a bad way to be. Go ahead, yell at me or something and watch how much I don't care.

 

[RFR]

Lol

 

[Sky Blue Lou]

Is Norman a rock (er)?

 

[XploZiveToyz]

Don't be talking about the blues. The blues is where it all started!

The trouble is you never get to sleep in when you play the blues

HAHAHA! So true!

An omelette starts at a chicken's buttgina too. That doesn't mean i wanna eat a chicken's buttgina. I'd rather have the omelette.

Sounds more like a geographic rather than sign of the times dilemma...

If you lived in Austin, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Nashville etc...unless you really suck as a musician and person in general getting a band together wouldn't be to tough of a deal...

Now putting a band together anywhere that is going to take you to the top of the charts and land you in chip city....you're better off buying a lottery ticket.

There's alotta musician wannabe's around me. Very few actually show any promise. I've only met one (within my age range) that I actually considered really good. Yeah, the Mid Michigan area is nothing like one of those large cities you mentioned.

We're all farm boys and gangster wannabe's.

I [...] woke up this morning..

Deh-DEHdeh deh DEH

 

[Greg_L]

Deh-DEHdeh deh DEH

 

[Bubba po]

Deh-DEHdeh deh DEH

At least you got my gag. Perhaps it was too subtle.

 

[JDOD]

Blues isn't too bad. Well "Deh-DEHdeh deh DEH" blues it shit, and bog standard 12 bar is a little irritating. Led Zep did really good blues, JJ Cale did some cool stuff too. On the whole Blues is a lot better than "worship music" and free Jazz.

That aint no lie.

In my opinion, it doesn't get any better than what Benny Goodmans band laid down in the 1930s and 1940s. Those cats were musicians of the highest order. You listen to one o'clock jump or bugle call rag and realize what passes for musicianship now days is a joke in comparison (myself included)

 

[JDOD]

Benny Goodmans - one o'clock jump

Sounds like a bag of dicks to me unfortunately.
