Who can name all the songs Junior Brown did in this medley recorded at "The Ark" in Ann Arbor Michigan in 2003?
Info on the double necked guitar Junior Brown invented from wiki:
In 1985 Junior invented a double-necked guitar, with some assistance from Michael Stevens. Junior called the instrument his "guit-steel". When performing, Junior plays the guitar by standing behind it, while it rests on a small podium/music stand. The top neck on the guit-steel is a traditional 6-string guitar, while the lower neck is a full-size lapsteel guitar for slide playing. Brown has two guit-steels for recording and live work.
As always, this is Late Late Nite FDL, where off topic is the topic so chime in.

heya all
g’evening late late nite pups. how’s it going for ya’ll tonight?
Suz, this guy can play some gee-tar.
The YouTubes are not working for me here tonight, Suz. Not at C&L either. Other sites are fine. Is it something my computer has suddenly decided to piss me off about?
They keep stopping and starting…
Junior is very underappreciated. Most folks just write him off as ‘country’ and do not recognize how gifted he is.
12
try clearing your cache loohoo and see if that helps.
14?
Suz, I confess I’d never heard of him until just now. He’s great!
I give up
I am doing well. Came through the injections with flying colors and already noticing a difference.
And, of course, I am blogging between naps: On Hands, Pledges & National Anthems
neuro, i think tonight is a good nite for you to not be in vegas (laughing)
yeah!!! good news
i am quite pleased!

can’t name it but can chime in with a: har har har
thanks dood
Suz, I’ve lost count trying to pick out the songs he’s playing. Right now it’s Foxy Lady.
And with an ad for a cure for awakeness!!!
lol, Brown is a stream of classics
You Really Got Me?
played some awesome chuck berry in there and i thought i caught some led zep included too.
Is the cache under history?
I think I heard some ZZ Top at the beginning.
The Wind Cries Mary, now.
loohoo, pc or mac?
yeah :) just what the body politic needs …
Are you playing this? I love it.
lol
Suzanne!
Cream
I heard some SRV kind of riff before You Really Got Me.
Yea!
Heartbreaker.
One of my favorite Junior Brown songs You Are Wanted By The Police And My Wife Thinks You’re Dead (that is his wife playing in the band for your trivia buffs)
that medley is pretty cool, suzanne. thx!
Sunshine of Your Love is the Cream cover (i think)
I was looking for Doc Watson’s version, but found this instead:
Hank Williams — Weary Blues
Find the YouTube to match the riff?
yep
whole lotta Junior goin on
Nice find.
Johnny Be Good
i heard it around 0:45 or so in the junior utube, right before he went into the kinks. but, my ears have a tendency to want to hear SRV so…
ah, i wondered what he did with the bottom half. cool instrument.
running the numbers for clinton from the atlantic:
she keeps all her superdelegates, Florida and Michigan’s delegations are seated fully to her advantage, and if she wins in Ohio by 65% and wins in Texas by 65%, and all other percentages hold, she can win the nomination.

THIS is the coolest guitar ever.
Can’t talk about Junior without including Highway Patrol but I acknowledge I am biased on the subject matter.
Thanks RBG. With the help of my XM, my mind has been expanding the last few years ;-)
He invented it according to the wiki.
Whoa! Who the hell could play that?!
my mind expanded in the 60s and 70s, but it started contracting when Raygun got elected
sorry, tex, i was trying to say that junior invented his guitar thingie.
Wow! I like this:
lol neuro ;-)
i am thankful i had my juvenile record sealed about all that expansion i was doing back then…
Wonderful video!

Thanks for article on economic advisors. I only knew about the Goolsbee guy. interesting bunch who should inspires some confidence. The article was right, Thaler and Cutler are not ideologues or dreamers. I personally think Goolsbee is a little dreamy (no, not that way) in terms of his bas towards basing his work on neoclassical equilibrium economic theory.
Mathematicians have a little joke: economics is applied mathematics with no applications.
It’s math humor.
I think Goolsbee fits that picture somewhat. Certainly not Thaler and Cutler. But I think Cutler is wrong that the US gets more than for its health care dollar than we think, unless you define ‘getting something for your dollar’ in just the right, rather restricted way. But he is a very solid health economist, who prefers messy facts over perfect theory.
Though, many economists don’t think that health economics is a respectable field -too practical and messy, too much grubby working through messy data, to wrapped up in intuitive ideas about human welfare and pesky things like that. Not enough room for High Theory and display of technical virtuosity.
his voice even sounds a little like Jimi’s
if using firefox browser, go to tools in your toolbar, and click clear private data. if in IE (you really should switch), it is your history.
Wow, me too.
ha, thats great!
That song is one of the great ex-girl friend songs of all time, and has a great lyric, goes something like
Better say hi some other time instead,
since you’re wanted by the police
and my wife she thinks your dead.
I’m gonna watch the clip.
Oh, sorry, not High school, just college.
When it comes to gee-tars, I always have to give props to the late, great Danny Gatton (local boy):
Sleepwalk
Gawd. Don’t let the freeway blogger know. Is Scarlot traveling the world now, letting everyone know that we do not like W?
I heard from him and Scarlet will not be attending the meetup Sunday. It was great having him last time but he is not going to be in the area :(
tis worth it – even on dial up
(Personal to Suz — after all this time, I still pull out your instructions on how to post YouTube links! Sssshhh, don’t tell nobody! *wink*)
Loo Hoo. @ 64 and wesgpc @69: i thought it was interesting … trying to guess what he’ll really do and who will influence him
(whispering back) i won’t say a word to a single soul LL – your secret is safe with me (wink wink)
Thanks again. Just watched it. His wife looks like a real southern cutie. No wonder he told the ex to hit the road.
Fixed, Suz. Thanks!
News and blog posts are up. I am off to sleep.
LooHoo, tis the #1 fix for most computer problems. If that doesn’t resolve it, rebooting the computer 99.99% of the time fixes it.
Last comment I saw from him, he said he would be spreading the word world-wide.
That’s what I had heard also. I will drag out my one IMPEACH sign that I have left from when we made signs here and proudly display it for the meetup.
Suz, one of these days I will surprise you and attend one of your meet-ups. Wish I could make it on Sunday!
Late Night Right! Here’s what’s on my mind, though Junior’s in my ears.
High Democratic Primary Turnouts
Turns out that the numbers of high turnouts are quite real, though the US News & Review tends to poo-poo their meaning. I have to disagree with their analysis. They correctly point out that Democrats have tended to outdraw Republicans in primaries since about 1972, and point out that this is because they were generally the party on the “outs” (IOTW Nixon was the incumbent in 1972, Ford was unchallenged in 1976, Reagan in 1984, Bush Sr. was coronated in 1988; and Bush II in 2004) the Republicans have drawn more twice…in 1996 when Clinton was the incumbent was first elected, and 2000 (when Gore was coronated and the the Republicans were highly competitive).
And they point out that Primary turnouts don’t necessarily predict who will win in the General Election in such circumstances. Quite true…but they fail to say that large turnouts by the opposition only fail to mean anything in the case of a currently popular incumbent. That individual will win. But if they have low popularity values they will lose (Ford, Carter, Bush I re-election). Otherwise the primary turnouts are predictive.
That’s what makes this election quite interesting. There is no “incumbent” and both Parties had competitive primary races. There is a wide, diverse selection of various “brands” of Republicans in the Primaries…yet few are turning out to participate. And that’s precisely where the USN&WR falls short – they don’t notice that this makes the Primaries much more comparable in terms of predicting relative turnout in the fall. There is currently an unpopular President, and the Republican nominee is attempting to “inherit” the policies of that President. I suggest that this is a recipe for a major electoral disaster for the Republicans.
Oh BTW…USN&WR also included the Florida and Michigan numbers (despite the fact that the Democrats decertified those races and turnout was much lower vis-a-vis Republican turnout in those states). Without them the differential is over 2/1.
YouTube has this listed as a related video to Junior Brown’s. I don’t know the connection, but it has some pretty hot guitar…
Johnny Winter doing Jumping Jack Flash
wish you could too (pouting but perking up at the perhaps)
iirc, junior has played with johnny winter and other well known folks.
I love Junior Brown. Way to go, Suz!
the central texas firepups are inviting all of you to our meet up during Netroots Nation in July.
Interesting analysis. I would differ only in that Ford did have primary opposition in 1976 from Ronald Reagan, and it went all the way to the convention.
Really enjoy the music, Suz!
thanks, i like his ear candy and find i always think better when there are good tunes playing.
i still don’t know if i’m gonna be going or not.
neuro, that’s good stuff.
Very late here, good night pups! Rawk on…

Plus, polling is off. People (like me) have given up land lines, in part to punish the telecoms, and use only cells. People with cells are not polled, and the same is true of people who screen their calls. Life is different, and the pollsters are not able to keep up right now. How many people under 30 have land lines?
Indeed. That’s why she’s trying to fiddle with the Texas caucuses…and make all the delegate selections based on the vote. But given the polls (which shows things about even, or Obama slightly ahead), and the ways that areas that had larger Democratic turnouts in the last two elections get more delegates, she’s likely not to get more that way either. Cities like Houston, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Austin, Beaumont-Port Arthur have more “oomph” that San Antonio and El Paso since they had poorer turnouts previously. I think it’s gonna break even (or maybe a smidgen more for Obama) in Texas in terms of delegates. And there’s no way that Hillary will get more than about 55% in Ohio; it’s closing in Pennsylvania, too.
Obama is expanding his lead in North Carolina and Vermont..and these States may be called early enough to have an impact on either voter selection or caucus turnouts later in the evening. Rhode Island looks like it’s easily going for Clinton…but that’s just a few delegates.
Look forward to seeing you! Will Cassie be able to come?
TDS is totally going after boosh… said his senioritus was showing

OK, Jr Brown, Jonny Winter, I guess it is a serious night here. Makes me think of the second Sonny Boy, for no particular reason.
I hope that this is what Bush will be saying to Pelosi when the meet to hash out future compromises (the awesome and elaborate lyrics 3 min into clip):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i44baLmU5js
Jon set me up. I almost felt guilty swinging at it.
I cannot get over this business of 1 in 100 American adults in prison. This is so screwed up. How about let’s legalize marijuana and divide that number substantially, and at the same time tax it?
sonny makes me think of willie
I came into briefing one afternoon back when I was still working and there was a statistic that involved ‘if we started executing all the prisoners on CA death row at the rate of one per day, it would take ___ years.’ i forget the # but it was one that stuck in my head and has never gone away.
This isn’t about the polls. It’s about the turnouts at the primaries and caucuses, but I would agree that the national polls are biased in several ways. They’ve actually been pretty good in the Republican Primaries, which is surprising given that there was often a complex of three to four candidates splitting the vote in different ways. Yet they almost always got both the order and the numbers right within a few % points. About the only screw up they made here was in pre-Primary punditry at the national level…predicting Giuliani as the favorite and McCain “out of it”. But their State-By-State calls as elections approached were pretty good.
The Democratic Primaries were filled with massive errors. They’ve been off by double digits (sometimes almost 20%) in several races…they’ve messed up predicting who was supposed to win and the placements of others. That’s because of many factors. I think that many Democrats (more than Republicans) have given up land-lines, as you say. That can be because Democrats are increasingly urban, younger, move more often, use alternative technologies (cell phones and Skype), etc. But I also think that the polls have made a very real fundamental error in their analysis of the poll results that they actually HAVE.
The results you see are never actually the raw results from their telephone calls. What the pollsters do is alter the results by a complex demographic model that they hope predicts who will actually turn up to vote in November (or at the primary). Thus they weigh whether or not the respondant will vote by things like if they are a long-term registered voter, or if the are a newly registered voter who has never voted before, or if they are registered at all. They may weigh age factors, sex, length of residence, and ethnic identifiers.All that goes in to predicting a “likely voter”.
That’s where these polls have been screwing up…they don’t realize that young, newly registered, minority voters are truly inspired this campaign. And they have discredited the non-registered who, in many Primaries and Caucuses, could register on-site. The pollsters calculations also failed to accurately incorporate “discouraged Republican” voters who switched parties, and “decline to states” who contributed far more into the mix.
In some cases the number of Republicans voting in the Democratic Primary was as many as the number that the WINNING Republican candidate received In one case OBAMA almost received as many Republican votes (at least as judged by those stating their party affiliation in an exit poll) as the winner of the Republican Primary. Chew on those results for a minute!!!!
so what is the solution?
I wonder what the top-ten crimes are for convictions and imprisonment are…and whether treatment or other programs (restitution, supervised parole) would be far better in dealing with these issues. I know you and I are Californians, and Ahhhnold is suggesting releasing a whole bunch of non-violent felons who have served most of their sentences in order to pare the budget. I personally think it’s a good idea IF they make sure that these folks aren’t simply going to be picked up in two months (in which case it’s a useless act).
I’d rather they start off in a lighter supervised program and it get harsher if the individual repeats the crime after “intervention” (social and medical, if drug related). I have a friend who was hooked on heroin and was placed into a good rehab program and it saved his life (and a music career). I’m sure he would have died or been emotionally shattered if he’d gone to prison.
Hey, Suz – What’s the Sunday forecast?
sunny and temps in the 60’s. wear layers.
weather can change so fast here, i’m waiting for the sat forecast before i believe it (laughing)
Over 600 Californians are on Death Row…with those added in that period of time it’s take about two years to execute them all at 1/day.
Yes. Good for your friend. Just seems the war on drugs is such an expensive and useless endeavor.
i then extrapolated that number to all the death rows in this country and figured it would take a decade or so. Sobering thought.
Prisons are Big Bu$iness.
And that’s another whole issue. It costs more to put someone to death here ($10 million?) than is realistically needed. Better life in prison.
money to be made from privati$ing prisons to corporations.
True, but what’s weird is that the prison union is probably the strongest in California.
I saw the corrections officers union becoming stronger under Republican rule. I think it was part of that appealing to the law and order types. just my humble opinion.
Well I no longer trust discredited polls except for showing a) trends within a particular poll using the same methodology, and b) what “likely voters” will do. I have to fudge a bit when those not measured by the poll are likely to turn out. Sometimes exit polls in other states can tell you what’s happening. For example all of these show that groups that were strongly coming out for Clinton are shifting over to Obama in the last few elections. Exit polls are not prone to the same sampling errors as telephone or adjusted polls (although there is some effort to regionally balance the total results). If “X%” of women say they voted for Clinton that’s an accurate number (unless they lie). Same with % of 18-24 year old reporting they voted for Obama.
But people should not pay that much attention to polls in terms of whether they will vote, and they certainly should be primarily voting on issues. But if it comes down to who they may select in terms of electability in a primary they may dare to peek at the polls – but remembering how they can be flawed.
I keep thinking back to being told (i forget by whom) that the numbers can be interpreted so many different ways depending on how the questions are asked, etc. i inherently distrust polling data.
Suzanne, you in CA? I think it was both timid centrist Democrats and GOP. Davis relied on the prison guards union for anti-crime credibility and contributions.
The Gubernator said he was going to reform the whole shebang, but has wandered around aimlessly getting nothing done, as with almost everything else, until the courts threaten to take over the whole operation.
yeap. back in the mid to late 90’s i spent some time up in sacramento as my department’s representative on some juvenile justice reform legislation that was in the works (we were in favor of it). learned how quickly the CO union had the ear of the state senators, along with the association of sheriffs and police chiefs. power talks to power and the CO union had power. as i said, it was just my opinion as to how they got it but i got the strong impression that it was so the politician could claim ‘law and order creds’.
Yes. Maybe they would flip and go with Bush if it ever came down to martial law. But I doubt it. I doubt anyone would other than say, Blackwater folks who are not Americans.
my sources are old but pre-9/11, i know for a fact that rank and file members of law enforcement and the CO unions did not support the privatization of prisons nor private security. they always looked upon them as ‘wannabe’s’.
not to mention the whole ‘taking jobs away from us’ meme.
Suz – I like the Republicans (Raygun, the Duke, and that fucker Pete Wilson) to get their share of blame for the state of the imbalance of influence in CA, but the Dems haven’t covered themselves in glory either.
Nunez for example?
Note the source! This is from the Onion!
Bob in HI
oh, i agree 100% newton. ca has been screwed by our state governments and we didn’t even get dinner and a movie first.
I worked for a private correctional company for seven years, from ‘86 to’93. When we were young, we did a lot of things better than the state, but ultimately the cost and profits thing takes over any company like that. The owners kept making the programs leaner and meaner until the company was worth a lot of money, and then they sold it to Cornell for about $60 million. It was during that Reagan-Clinton cusp when so many things were getting privatized, and when the correctionl model went from “corrections’ to “punishment.” Things have continued rapidly downhill since.
CO types are often creeps. When I was in management – four of the seven years, one of my main jobs was weeding out creeps who applied for work, or who we had stupidly hired. I’m sure they were later able to find work at Abu Graib, though.
Yep. Goes back before Willie Brown was in charge of things in the Capital. Corrupt to the hilt, and flying the same flag now. This place needs a house-cleaning bad.
hey ET
“that ****** Pete Wilson”
So, you must live in CA too… ?
Entering the Capital building in Sacramento, there ought to be a sign that reads “Bring your own Vaseline.”
That’s why the term limits passed. I really am not in favor of term limits, but I guess people felt like they’d rather have rookies than professional politicians.
Just home from work. I showed the Nader youtube to Ms. ET, then started a fire in the shop woodstove so Strider won’t be too cold tonight. Keyboarding away on a fellowship application in my special gloves until it warms a bit out here.
which brought its own set of troubles having rookies being taken advantage of by the lowlife lobbyists who so nicely offered to ’show em the ropes’
Yes, I recall that the CO Unions freaked when prisoners were shipped out of state to “rent-a-jails” to alleviate the overcrowding that occurred as a result of the 3-strikes law.
I think with many CA Democratic office holders, it has been combination of standard timidity, combined with term limits. Everyone is on the make for a new election for a new office in two terms or so, so always afraid of what vile CA GOP will do to them with low info voters for election to new office. And since they are moving out of leg or to new office in short time, they all have a ‘let’s just stave disaster until I’m outta here’ attitude.
So, remarkable that they are better than Congressional Democrats, but not by much, in my opinion.
if those are the plug in heated gloves i’ve heard about but never been able to find…grrrrrr
Hi ET! Hope you warm up soon.
I would have given up a year of my life to help Jackie Speier run against Ahnald last time.
Just as well, though – she’s a lock for Lantos’ seat.
jackie will do good work in lanto’s seat. following in his good works. i’ve always liked her.
They’re not plug-ins, but they’re wool, and the finger tips are bare, so you don’t hit three letters at once.
Arnold hasn’t been as bad as I would have guessed. Guess it’s good to have a Kennedy in the family.
I don’t understand how these kinds of marriages work, though.
i saw a pair of gloves that had fingers free and you could plug them into the USB port of the computer and they would heat up.
was on some tv show and i’ve never been able to find em.
In one of my music appreciation classes today at UAA, I was comparing early telegraph messages and Morse code to texting. I asked the kids, “What do you think the first message sent over the telegraph was?”
A kid raised his hand quickly, so I called on him. He asked, “WTF?”
I want those!
Good works and all, this district needs a Critter with a wider… issue portfolio. Jackie is that Critter.
And her tangle with the credit card companies suggests she cannot be beaten, even by the likes of the Papans and the Browns and the Burtons. She is nails.
i’ve been looking for them ever since. if i find em, i’ll let ya know and visa versa.
That’s a deal, Suz.
I was invited to a 50th bday party for a friend I’ve known for many years. I’ve seen less and less of this couple over the years since 2000 when they voted for Bush. (It was kind of a joke then, me for Gore and this couple for Bush). Then in 2004, they told me they were voting for Bush again based on the tax issue. I’ve seen them very seldom since then…been kinda busy, you know. Then I got the call for the surprise bday party. I asked the Mr. who he was voting for in the primaries, and he said Romney. I just have no interest in socializing with these people anymore. It’s so sad. But who would vote for Romney??? Even over McCain? I just have nothing in common with these people anymore…
jackie has proven before that she has brass ones and doesn’t cave.
Funny!
hey suz -
CO got their power the good old-fashioned way: they bought it.
Among top three payer$ (IIRC) in CA electoral contributions (to $tate candidates).
yeap
The CO union is so flush that they agreed to take less so that the teachers could take more. It was pretty unheard of!
i was trying so inartfully to say the CO union was able to overcome the ‘union’ label that is normally scorned by R pols with the law and order cover it gave the pols. they could point to stuff helpin the CO while shafting the other unions and still claim to be union friendly.
spitting.
Gotta sleep now, pups.
g’nite loohoo
Yeah. I told him, “No, it was this.”
Then I pulled the blackboard a bit forward, and wrote “ROFLMAO”
The kids were spewing for 20 seconds. I think I saw one with a cell video up in the air. This prof may be on YouTube soon for that one.
i wanna see that utube :)
nite Loo Hoo!
Then I told them the real first texting msg – “A patient waiter is no loser.”
why was that phrase choosen et?
great one, ET
good night LooHoo
good niht pups
off to bed now….
good dreams…..
anticipating “network busy”?
g’nite kirk
I just watched an interview with Mrs. Pelosi on Charlie Rose Show. Boy is she a basket of goodies. Sounds like she is biding her time waiting for Bush to vacate the White House before she can fully move ahead with her agenda. That and praying the senate gains a sixty vote majority and of course a democrat as president. I liked it how she almost winked at Charlie Rose when he asked her if she thought Obama would get the nomination.
nite kirk
bailing out, too
nite suzanne, pups
g’nite newton
My dad was a radio ham from 1935 to his death in 2005. He told me that, and he told me why they transmitted that, but only remember the phrase. I’ll google it….
maybe. punaise could figure it out.
sorry, et i can google it – wasn’t trying to cause ya extra work. my first reaction was why – i admit to being the bane of many of my teachers as a young thang.
as Samuel Morse texted — ._../___/._.. = “LOL”
from wiki:
the first of a series of toobz…
I found the story, but not a clue as to why the Judge handed his son that particular message.
Samuel Morse was described as an artist/inventor… …so maybe he patiently waited tables while waiting for his big break?
Definitely one of the mass media cornerstones right there, ET. A biggy.
in the google there is a passage from a book who’s print is way to small for me to read but the google entry says that the message was written out by someone and they were told you send this message and if mr morse can accurately receive it i’ll believe ya. maybe it came from that banker guy.
Right. The first telegraph was funded by the federal government from taxpayer dollars, as was the Internet. So, FUCK YOU, RONALD REAGAN. Some things are better done by the government.
hear hear! take that mr drown the forking government in the bathtub norquist.
Amd W made his fortune through having Arlington taxpayers buy a stadium to make his worthless franchise priceless. Doncha love the free market?
Obama both ”denounced” and ”rejected” Farrakahn’s antisemitism. But now, McCain will neither reject nor denounce the support he is receiving from Christian Zionist John Hagee.
i think the free market means only free to them, et. costs the rest of us plenty.
Alfred Vail’s father, Stephen wrote the message. I guess he never told anyone why.
I guess so I could research telegraphs in the dark of night.
hey, jacqrat has a post up over at howie’s place about tommy yum and esten
i figure he thought they could not scam him if he was the one selecting the message immediately before transmission as a way of validating the invention.
smgumby, what part of the planet are you on?
Damn… couldn’t sleep
Thanks for the jacqrat link, Suzanne!
It’s great news!
Both things near and dear to this place.
I live in the forests of the Pacific NW. Just after 1 AM here.
i thought that was what you had said before but its late and i could be mis-remembering :)
fork newton, i hate it when that happens.
but yeah, great news about estan – nice to see jacqrat having a post over there. her and howie worked together on all those media buys for the had enough ads.
ok, pups, that’s it for me. thanks for hanging with me tonight. g’nite ya’ll
nite suz
i’m trying again, too
Goodnight
I saw the mention of double necked guitar this morning and I thought I should mention that Sir Victor Uwaifo invented it in Nigeria, I’m guessing in the 1960s or early 70s. I know I saw it in the early 70s. You can see Uwaifo’s biography here:
http://combandrazor.blogspot.c…..art-2.html
along with links to tracks that I highly recommend listening.
There is a CD, but it may be hard to find: Sir Victor Uwaifo – Greatest Hits, Vol.1. You can download it at emusic.com, or download individual tracks from amazon.com. I particularly recommend listening to Guitar Boy and Joromi if you have the opportunity.
I believe it is an old adage that means “a patient man who waits will receive the rewards of his investment”…and is modified from Scripture (the Psalms). It has nothing to do with restaurant servers.
In this case Vails father had pout up the money for their experiments with electrical communication through wires and was, his son thought, growing impatient. In fact, while working on the invention Vail avoided his father for several weeks to avoid the psychic pressure. Thus the message may have been one intended to tell his son, I was patient and now I shall receive what I have been waiting for.
