Exactly the speed of my most used hammer, ha ha.

  Well, wicon, I hope that's not your upstairs neighbor singing that.  I would call that motivational music for moving out.

  Though, some days are like this (an apt title for an album in such a case as well).

While stumbling around the many rabbit holes opened by this thread and the link to "Barret's Privateers" my friend Sean sent me I came across this folk group, "The Longest Johns." Their rendition of "Barret's Privateers" is exceptionally good. I've been binging them for a day or so while making my head ache looking online for a laptop to replace this dying one. They do excellent Sea Shanties.

Below is a fun video of sea shanties. I don't know what game they're playing or if the ship is a sloop of war or a brig of war but I think it'd be too cool for school to sail past Long Beach harbor On step on one.

  Good stuff.   There's some I have heard but many new one's.  Could the game possibly be Assassins Greed, Black Flag?  Warms an ole sailors heart.  Almost makes me want to go about talking like a pirate again.  The comment's were also fun to read....

By the by, what happened to my Joe Walsh link?  Kind of throws my whole post out of kilter.

I have no idea, my posts disappear sometimes too. Nah, your post is kiltered enough for this crew. 

Speaking of crew, here's another series of Longest Johns videos that's pretty entertaining.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBRuG4GMZ98&ab_channel=TheLongestJohns

I THINK Sea of Thieves is the game but I don't know. I know the game is credited a couple times but my memory is . . . What were we talking about again?

  Muzak...  

 

IFI staff does not normally delete posts, unless they are duplicates; we just hide them from public view, and I don't see any post hidden in this thread, when did you post it Scott?  I suggest you repost

  Right after Wicon posted his.  It's not any big thing, maybe I should not have mentioned it.  If you look at other videos of the same song, it's pretty political.  But not the one I posted.  I'll post it again but the context may be lost.  Thanks.

 

Ayup, I confirm Scott posted this back when! 

Ahhhh, 1961 hair, the hair THE HAIR!  My older Sister wore BIG HAIR!

I can remember Mr. Postman on the radio top 10 and I was 9 or so.

  Almost like my first experience with fire and flame. 

Here's a good old rock/blues band.  I can't post my favorite song here tho.  

 

Ahhh, those are a blast from the past, Savoy Brown was okay but the muppets are always worth watching. Seriously who can't use fire proof paper or recipes for Swedish dishes? 

Thanks for my morning smile Scott.

Frosty The Lucky.

  Your welcome.  I admit Savoy Brown is a little crusty.  I found a montage of Honeydew and Beaker but it was quite long.... Fun stuff.  And one of making pumkin pies with a chainsaw and bazooka.

 

Oh YEAH, the only people I know who don't like, "Southern Cross" had a brother / Sister,  room mate, live in, etc. that played it constantly. Or other songs, some of which I never want to hear again. My little Sister got a 45 player for her birthday and literally stacked copies of the same song so she could hear it Over and OVER and O V E R. 

Not that I played my favorite Simon and Garfunkel albums over and over till I fell asleep and Mother came in and turned it off. Not me, no way!

Here is one about someone we all know.

 

  Good one, Billy Bones.  Lol.  I'm going to forward that to the "someone" I know....  He's a good sport and I wonder what he'll send me back...

  

 

I have been a Bob Dylan fan for as long as i can remember. Sadly the last time i saw him live his voice was about done for. 

How about something fun

 

Well that was pretty listenable, Billy.

I've loved Dylan since the first time I heard him, still do but the last I listened to a live performance his voice was pretty shot. It's not like he ever had a "good" voice but there isn't much left. <sigh>

Frosty The Lucky.

Last time I saw Dylan was when he was doing a tour with the Grateful Dead. The show was at the Humphrey Metrodome (since demolished) in Minneapolis. The Dead played their sets & the sound was only okay (the dome's acoustics were lousy) then there was a lengthy delay while the crew switched sound systems which was a head-scratcher given how good the Dead's sound systems have been over the years. The resulting sound for Dylan's set was really poor which was a shame as I was looking forward to hearing him. Seems like only last year, but it's been decades now.

Going back to the '60s my opinion on Bob Dylan is that he is a great song writer and composer but whoever told him he could sing was lying to him.

GNM

I don't think Dylan had any illusions, I think he set out to sound like a road weary traveling minstrel. Arlo Guthrie is another musician I like to listen to and his Father Woody intended to sound like a poor downtrodden victim of the capitalists who disagreed with his politics. On the upside Woody never pretended to be anything but what he was.

I like folk music, I like being able to hear the vocalists over the instruments and especially songs that tell a story. I like rock and roll music but folk and country western songs. Hoyt Axton is a favorite composer of mine. He sings well enough but his songs sound better when performed by others. Who doesn't like, "Dela And The Dealer" or say "Wild Bull Rider"?

I saw Dylan with The Dead in 2007...maybe 8,9,6... those were some of my not so better days shall we say, but it was everyone but Jerry playin. I do have a bootleg of the show on CD somewhere. I will have to dig it up to see what the dates were. Good show though sound system was excellent but Dylan's voice was bad. 

I agree with George however. Dylan never could sing. But like Frosty says there was a feeling in his voice that made it good. Same as Janis Joplin, she could not sing either but had a feeling in her voice that made her great. And that is art and singing is art. It stirs a feeling. 

I saw Arlo Guthrie at a Hookahville at Buckeye lake bake in the late 90's. I cant remember but it was i think either Bob Weir or Willie Nelson played that same year there. 

So anyway one of my favorites

  You hit the nail on the head there.  Art is what's in your heart.  I am reminded of an opera singer I once read about, Florence Foster Jenkins.  Supposedly the worst opera singer in history.  She never let that get in the way though.  She was a philanthropist and once filled Carnegie Hall.  I won't post a video, but look her up and give a listen.  I recommend earplugs.

  I like Janis Joplin very much.
