Lady T,
You are in one of the best places in the world for live music. Bob Wills is still the king.

Yep, it is a great place for live music for sure. The Steel Wheels were in town a couple of weeks ago. Always someplace has live music....no covers where full tip jars abound. :wink: We appreciate our musicians/artists around these parts.Darryl Hattenhauer said:Lady T,

One guy who put on a heck of a concert was Corky Seigel, saw him a couple times.
Not rock, but I saw what is arguably the two top bluegrass bands in the iindustry a couple years ago, Del McCoury Band, and Alison Krause & Union Station. Seeing Jerry Douglas play with Union Station was worth the price of the tickets all by himself.
Then what in the world are you doing here?Scratch said:but I don't find it difficult to remove politics from an appreciation of good music.

" I always liked that guy that interjected his little 'Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaw' in so many of those songs.
I was going to ask...."do they still celebrate 'Bob Wills day" in Texas? But then I just looked it up. Yes indeed! 8)

This one I knew as a child. The song has it all! Horns, fiddles, pedal steel, a few guitars.....( except for the trademark, "Ahhhhhhh-Haaaaaaaaaw")

Speaking of feeling things, you reminded me of Phil Lesh playing his giant bass-thingy at an AIDS benefit concert in the Oakland Coliseum in '86 or '87 I think it was.Los Angeles said:The lifetime award goes to Philip Glass conducting and performing the soundtrack to Koyaanisqatsi in an orchestra pit as the film played on stage. This was at the Chicago Theatre maybe 7 years ago. I've never EVER felt anything like it.
And by the region, he means Thailand.adorshki said:Speaking of feeling things, you reminded me of Phil Lesh playing his giant bass-thingy at an AIDS benefit concert in the Oakland Coliseum in '86 or '87 I think it was.Los Angeles said:The lifetime award goes to Philip Glass conducting and performing the soundtrack to Koyaanisqatsi in an orchestra pit as the film played on stage.

The thing was laid out like a pedal steel except it was so big he could use his leg to fret it. :shock: At least that's how I remember it. :lol:
For sure he was using some batons on the thing that were like small baseball bats and he could hit the strings or use 'em like a slide, and he started a drone going.....after about a minute of that I realized I could literally feel the concrete pad I was sitting on vibrating..... :shock: :shock: :shock:
You can't convince me he didn't do a little testing at the sound check to find the resonant frequency of the whole d--n stadium. Or h-ll, maybe he just found it during the solo and went with it... :lol:
I literally started wondering if chunks of concrete were gonna start breaking loose and began looking for a place away from possible falling objects.
I solemnly swear I was under the influence of nothing stronger that day than what can currently be legally obtained at many dispensaries throughout the region.

In Thailand they've dispensed with dispensaries. Here in the Free California Republic they're enagaging in creating a brave new world of medical jurisprudence.TonyT said:And by the region, he means Thailand.Adorshki said:I solemnly swear I was under the influence of nothing stronger that day than what can currently be legally obtained at many dispensaries throughout the region.
