Here's a guy's point of view - the black one. For sure. :)
Right - even folks who just sit in their room and play for themselves belong on this thread. Sounds like you've gone beyond that, sodascouts.
I don't think Lindsey owns a guitar pick; he does all of that amazing stuff with fingerstyle playing - like Mark Knopfler, another phenomenal guitarist. I really like and respect that style - it's so...
Miamisburg - nice area. My aunt lived in Fairborn near Wright-Patt. We'd shoot straight up I 675 to get there, right about where Dayton Mall is in Miamisburg.
Yes, we saw the Cincinnati show. We...
Do you live in Dayton, Chaleymom? Just up the street from here. I know what you mean; concerts aren't cheap - even for the so-called "cheap seats" - and I just don't like to drive all over anymore....
Ah, yes - Ann and Nancy - the Wilson sisters. Incredible musicians/singers and drop-dead gorgeous. Back in my misspent youth, they inspired many an interesting mental...scenario. :blush:
My favorite Neil is the solo acoustic version, especially early Neil (like the Massey Hall disc set).
I would have LOVED to see the reunion tour of JT and Carole King, but they didn't head this way. I have to settle for the DVD, which is awesome. The two of them are a perfect musical match, just like...
Sure. Van Morrison opened for the Moody Blues at the "acoustically-imperfect" Cincinnati Gardens (where the now defunct Cincinnati Royals NBA team played basketball). Van was not in the best of moods...
Wow. Some serious credentials, Tracey. I'd like to hear you sing.
Yes - you ARE a musician. Believe it or not, at one point in his life, Joe was right where YOU are - just starting out. Keep at it. You picked a great inspiration.
Thanks, Keith. Interesting; I'm in my 60s, you're in your 40's, and my son just turned 28 yesterday - and we all love the Eagles. And at the Cincinnati concert, that "three generation" family had a...
Thanks, DJ. As far as writing music goes, everyone has a different method. The best way to start if you're an absolute beginner is to put down whatever comes into your head. Write it down. Sounds...
When I play my gigs, either solo or with a band, we have a saying for when we load out gear and pack it away - "This is what they pay us for; we play for free."
Playing is fun! To quote David...
Oh, Brooke, you've got to see him if you can! It's an awesome experience.
Yeah - I've enjoyed them all. I read on here that someone has a tee shirt that reads, "I may be old, but I got to see all...
Yeah - if you saw the PBS show (I have it on DVD), you saw JT's original band - Danny "Kootch" Kortchmar on guitar; Leland Sklar on bass; Russ Kunkel on drums; and of course, Carole on piano and...
Witchy Woman - you are in for a real treat - and for $20 a pop, you got an INCREDIBLE bargain!
Like the Eagles, JT has only gotten better with age. His music is easygoing and accessible. He does...
Neil is primal. That's what makes him so popular. Neil and Crazy Horse are a garage band. Lots of guitarists and bands listen and say, "I can do that!"
But no one does it quite like Neil...
Hmmmm...these are all the musicians here? Gotta be more than this...
Fred Penner was my son Rick's favorite entertainer when he was a little three-year-old tike (Rick turned 28 today; Happy Birthday, son!). Fred is a gentle spirit who doesn't talk down to kids. That's...
James is THE MAN! I rank JT right up there with the Eagles as far as my absolute favorites - Eagles for group, JT for solo performer. When he came to Cincinnati on his first tour in 1970, tickets for...
I was thinking something similar watching the performers at the recent Beatles tribute doing their covers of Beatles tunes - with Paul and Ringo sitting just an arms' length away. Now THAT had to be...
+1 there - agree 100%. I don't think Beyonce (or any of those others) is a good role model for a songwriter to emulate. 70+ songs written for her last CD? I don't think so! That's a career for a lot...
Original handwritten lyrics by U2, Billy Joel, and Simon & Garfunkel.
Wow.
Those are some real heavyweights. I’ve always written lead sheets with lyrics and chords on a legal pad and was...
Thanks, all. I'm working on it.
