What are you listening to right now?

the great ron bennington interviewing eric burdon

A thousand times better than the New York Dolls, and yet never, ever mentioned. Shame. This is the kind of band I wanna play drums behind.

I'm all about the glam tonight.

Pop Life-Prince

yes ~ long distance runaround...

Big Star

Yep.

Shame that the national news only stated that he was part of the Boxtops. Big Star was so much more than that.

Guy explaining how a B-bender works

Peter and the Wolf. I remember listening to this at age 3 in Flushing, Queens, at home, and being entranced with the music.

This French beauty came out in 66'. I was 9. Dad saw the movie and bought the soundtrack, no words, just music. A french movie, really good music.

A Man and a Woman is the title

These guys can play:

OK, I did listen to them. The singer has a good voice. But they are country and he has that country (((((twang))))) and well I would never download or purchase them and I would change the radio station. sorry.

Where do you live?

I live in England, but I was born in Texas and grew up in New Jersey. I used to be embarrassed to admit it to my Stones/Doors/Who loving friends in suburban New Jersey, and I used to pretend to my mom and dad that I hated our yearly half-way point stop at Nashville and the Grand Old Oprey every year on our way to visit the 'kinfolk' in Texas - but fact is - I do love certain country music. I love the instrumentation and the energy of some of country especially bluegrass, gospel and mountain music. I cannot deny it.
But I like literally something of every single kind of music there is - except techno.
I love to sing so if it's got an identifiable melody - and decent instrumentation - I like it.
My daughter even got me liking this song from Twilight (I don't know what you'd call the genre): what I like here are the vocals, bass and violin. (Your signature reminded me of it - this song would be a good illustration for your signature).

I listened.
I like some of Shania Twain. I especially love this video I posted. I think of myself when I listen and watch. I even have a bracelet of abalone like in this video.


Texas huh, what part:?: From TX to England. I hope you are OK with that kind of transition in your life.
I was born in Queens, NY and now live in OK. I lived on the east coast all my life near the ocean but am landlocked now.
I have two opposite sides to me. Mom was a southern bell and dad was from Brooklyn. We would go to Georgia every summer to visit the southern relatives and my cousins there had ((strong)) southern accents and yes mam', no mam' manners.
I love to sing also but lack a good voice.

My signature is from Sea Level, have a listen. You'll like it {lousy video}

I do like it. Thanks for introducing me to it.

I was born in San Antonio. But I only lived there a year before my dad was transferred up to the NYC office - so any transition I made was more from NJ than from Texas. I had the same sort of experience you did though - in fact my mother taught us to say, 'Yes sir, and yes ma'am' to the teachers at school (in NJ ) and my big brother got in trouble because they thought he was being sarcastic... .

I learned to talk in NJ so I didn't have that accent or any of those southern speech habits to contend with although every time my friends would call me and my mother would answer the phone they'd put on this cornpone accent and make fun of my name 'Rebecca Jean'... and whenever I'd come home from Texas and talk about my uncles Bennie Mac and Happy and Aunt Ida Belle - they'd say - 'You're making those names up.' I really wasn't.
My mom was born in Oklahoma City. Where do you live in Oklahoma?

I love England - I stepped off the plane and felt like I'd found my second home so it's been an easy and wonderful transition.

(Shania Twain is so pretty - but my son has always liked her more than I have). He's like me - he'll listen to anything and everything.

Anyway - nice to talk to you Phillis. I'm sure I'll see you around

San Antonio I have heard and seen, looks nice. I have not been to the SW yet and would like to see SA.

I had an Aunt Tilly and Uncle Waldo in Georgia. They were siblings and their house was old with slave quarters still on the property. I remember seeing a chain gang, stripes and all, working on the highway across from granny's house, very rural.

My moms first name was Ida Mae and was never called that, they called her Jean.
(I will send a quiet email of the town I live in.)

Listening, This is a dynamite song, brings back memories of travelling across America.
