That's funny, sad but funny.

Still lots of Bricks & Mortor record stores here in Portlandia...how else can musicians support themselves?

My understanding of how this works at the Kennedy Center is that the Artist being honored is typically paid tribute by others influenced by him or her and generally they seem to be of a younger generation than the honoree. Given that Beck is rather more of a contemporary of Zep's and arguably as much as or more of an influence on Page than the other way around, then it would not make sense for Beck to be honoring Zep. That would be kind of like McCartney honoring Badfinger! OK, this makes sense, the rest of this thread, not so much. JSngry too, in his own way.

Not a slight. It's well known that Beck was jealous of Zep's success. I believe he felt that Jimmy stole the thunder of the JB Group. It just turned out that Jimmy was smart enough to pick the superior singer and musicians to back him up. I believe they're on friendly terms again, though. All's good then I guess, Page, Plant & Jones certainly seemed to enjoy the evening.

Anyone else think it was rather telling that Jeff Beck played in the Buddy Guy tribute and not in the Zep? Given his long history with Page it's hard to not see it as a rather deliberate slight.

Bunch of ECM vinyl and Merle H and Elvin & Oregon for $1/each at the Twilight Rummage Sale here in Portlandia.

All music is siritual, if you play it right...

Talented guy, interesting career.

Nice Studebaker 'bulletnose', bonus Q - Is it a '50 or a '51, Champion or Commander? "Goat-esque"?! This is an actual term of art, WTF does it mean?!

Big deal, local Saskatoon rockers, Mozart & the Wolf Gang, did this 40 years ago, and probably better. "4Seasons" with a harmonica solo anyone?

Everything I've got sheet music for...

I think if you do the math on the mass being moved, it's actually pretty efficient....no?

Hence the begining of "All You Need is Love"?

No Drifters then? Some days I'll take late period/Brill Bldg. Drifters over pretty much anything.

Amazing what you learn on Organissimo! I didn't know 'Deck the halls' was a traditional Welsh carol. MG https://www.google.com/search?q=deck+the+halls+welsh&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a the consensus seems to be that indeed it is.

It is, indeed, all that; but, that's not all that it is...

http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~bernard/ayler_christmas.html haven't heard this, yet Have heard, and do like very much, the Venture's Xmas offering - Frosty (the Snowman) Tequila!

I actually enjoy PBS's Lubinsky-thons, mostly but not entirely for the old clips which I'm unlikely to see anywhere else. I also enjoyed Itzak Perlman saying how much he digs doowop. What can I say, I'm easy to please, sometimes.

I once read an unintenitionally funny article which went to great lengths to argue that Jimi actually dug surf music...

Recorded in a Turkish bath? Indeed - the sound is very murky, sort of muffled by the primeval steamy pea-soup. They obviously had other things on their minds...

I don't know what that means either. Or it could mean (not vulgar Latin) that it's more like Virgal than Dante, or it could just mean that the stuff he's calling vulgar strikes him as somehow crude, which might or might not be a reasonable assessment...

It means the're 'great' but not 'fucking great'.

Why would this lovely record evoke negative emotions?
