Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

I had one summer to teach myself to surf. I must have been a bad teacher because I never learned well.
Were i the type to morn the past...
I lived the first 17 years of my life less than 20 miles from the ocean and never got past body surfing.
I did do a fair amount of skin diving

Steve Vai - about Frank Zappa

If he drove an Edsel he deserved all bad things. Let's be honest. What a hideous car.

Yes he drove an Edsel, just not very far, out of the garage and onto the Railroad tracks where he dumped
a innocent for her more willing sister.
 
What a treasure!

Joe Pass and Oscar Peterson were bandmates for a very long time. That must have been impressive. I've never seen either one live, but have listened to countless recordings. It is a shame I wasn't clued in years ago when I had the opportunities to actually see them.
 
Mostly they celebrate love unrequited.
Often the object of such love is a complete heal or a totally unfaithful slut.

I feel the main objective of torch songs is to contrast the purity of heart of the singer with the complete sociopaths utter indifference to love.

A great torch song makes the listener deeply feel how very much better off the singer would be if they had fallen for ones self.
"Anyone who had a heart"

Pretty much sums it all up.


Shazam, another fantastic post. Thank you Dan!

I only lived within walking distance with one old heavy and large (and ugly) surfboard to the beach for one summer.

I was being tongue in cheek. I thought those Edsels looked hideous. I think I probably had a lot of company.
 
Khalid - Disclosure Know Your Worth

When ever I come across a new talent i really like, there follows a period of time usually a few weeks or more, when I do nothing.

I don't look 'em up and I wait for enough time to pass so that when I do look em up I won't crash if they totally suck.

So many one hit wonders.

So good to see Khalid raise above. Thanks Me George.
 
Before
When Boogie boogie was just a little baby, There was a brief interval of time when it was all Ragtime. Here is most probably the most widly and wonderfully known Rag.

 
Ragtime has always been a sunny day in the park for me.
Scott, Well Scott IS ragtime. So here's a sunny day in the park With a half wild pony! ":O}

 
Perhaps my favorite Gospel song.
I've posted on this and spoke about it before

This point in Gospel time can be likened unto the Big Bang!

The stage is set,
"The hopes and fears of all the years as silent stars go by."

God is Awakening John by way of an angel.
John has been chosen to call the world out of darkness. out of the wilderness of the instincts.

John will Baptize the Holy one and "tell the people this is a holy day."

John stands as a bridge between the people and the Coming of God into this world.

And believe or not the world will never be the same.

"Palms Of Victory"

Then palms of victory, crowns of glory
Palms of victory I shall wear

I saw a wayward traveler in tattered garments clad
And struggling up the mountain, it seemed that he was sad
His back was heavy laden, his strength was almost gone
Ηe shouted as he journeyed, "Deliverance will come!"

The songsters in the arbor that stood beside the way
Attracted his attention, inviting his delay
His watchword being "Onward!" he stopped his ears and ran
Still shouting as he journeyed, "Deliverance will come!"

Then palms of victory, crowns of glory
Palms of victory I shall wear

I saw him in the evening, the sun was sinking low
He'd overtopped the mountain and reached the vale below
He saw that golden city, his ever lasting home
And shouted loud, "Hosanna! Deliverance has come!"

Then palms of victory, crowns of glory
Palms of victory I shall wear

It turns out the the Edsel was the car or choice at railroad crossings everywhere. Let's face it, Edsel was a car only a rail road engine at 90 miles a hour could help.
