GEEZER'S MUSIC THREAD

Entwhistle's bass solo also propelled me towards buying a bass guitar.
I slowed the record player from 33 to 16 rpm to learn it.

Y'all mind if I reminisce?
Purple Haze will always be linked to the first time I got totally ****-faced.
Me and my buddy pitched a tent in his back yard and cadged a bottle of his dad's bourbon. As my world spun, Purple Haze was the sound track.

As for me, just replace the bourbon with psilocybin mushroom.

I hear ya...

I haven't been doing any 60s, because I turned twenty in 62.

However, that being said, I soon turned my interests elsewhere.

'Shake, Rattle and Roll' Big Joe Turner

He was called a blues 'shouter' in the early days of popular (Blues) music. This music, to my ear at least, is clearly Rock and Roll as opposed to boogie-woogie blues. Said by music experts, "Rock and roll would have never happened without him."

I listened to rock the first time "illegally" because my parents thought, I was to young to go here

This is the first song I heard by Johnny Cash. In retrospect, it would seem it ought to have been Folsum Prison or Walk the Line.

'Endless Sleep' by Buddy Knox

Never heard it by Buddy Knox.

Isn't this the same record?

You're right. I shouldn't have believed the credits left by users on Youtube. That version should have been credited to Jody Reynolds.

However, there may also be another version by Buddy Knox (not this one)...but I can't find it listed on Youtube. I think his version might exist on Amazon. I'm still looking. I seem to recall in memory a slightly different take on it by someone else - perhaps by Buddy. My older brother recorded it on reel-to-reel but for the life of my I can't recall exactly as I was only 7 or 8 yrs old, after all.

It's fairly common. Somebody has the Tokens The Lion Sleeps Tonight listed by Belafonte.
