Lynyrd Skynyrd – That Smell … just driving by and waving hello.

hey mr why — nice driveby :) *waving back atcha*

Dang it…my brain has been poisoned – I instantly thought of stoopid J O’Keefe’s attempted con of the CNN reporter instead of hearing the song in my head….

How are things, Suze? Warmer yet?

I gotta go, actually – day 2 tomorrow of 3 days of training for a new temp gig. Spent evening frantically catching up on all political news missed – Christie grudgingly agrees to pay for copter ride, too many idjits still talking about Weiner’s possible, um, weiner, the Mittster announces but Caribou Barbie dumps him from the front page…wait, what am I missing while at work??

Wow, what a find!
Nice one, Suz!

hey tejan — sorry about that. i didn’t make that connection when i selected this one (handing ya some brain bleach from my personal stash)

hey newton — how was your day today?

Playing the vid – my god, don’t those guys look amazingly young?

Had a good one. Yours?

read the comments on the utube page — keyboards bruce a dentist for 40 years in nyc

forty forking years??? has it been that long?

sunshine and showers today. weather dood says instant summer is arriving sat and has forecast temps in the 80-85 range for both sat and sun. and more rain monday.

Thanks for the brain bleach. I’m just sorry to have made that connection myself.

Actually, when I got home the house looked like the aftermath of “The Calico Cat and the Gingham Dog.” Don’t have time to look it up, but they have a fight and just leave bits of their stuffing behind, right?

I’d have sworn my 3 kittehs spent the afternoon pulling tufts of fur out of each other’s coats…clumps EVERYWHERE! Despite my best efforts to brush and prevent that…apparently I’ve just been loosening clumps – so considerable further brushing ensued this evening, following much bending and picking up, here, there and yonder. Sigh.

Congrats on the gig.

Kittehs appreciate the attention I’m sure. :-)

oh lardy. bailey has taken to leaving a dead mouse in the doorway from the hall to the kitchen every time i stay away at night.

not sure if its an offering to the gawds to make sure i come back… or stay away…

hey mzchief — how’s your side of the coast range tonight?

That 40 years thing… I’ve been dealing with that for a number of things in the last year or so…40 years since I first got married, forty years since we moved to Boston (I’d swear that was just the other day), forty plus since h.s. graduation…of course, last year it was, sigh, Woodstock…
Something about that “forty” – it just tells you you’re on the downside of “middle age,” I guess. But yeah, in my head it seems I’m always saying “Forty freakin’ years?? Forty years?????”

Something about a hit band member becoming a dentist, too….”Brucie, when are you going to drop this silly idea about being a musician and get a REAL job???”

no kidding. my oldest refers to me as a 17 year old trapped in an old woman’s body. sometimes i admit, i do feel she’s right…

Frenchs mustard.”

Today was nice made even better by a beautiful Hawai’ian style misty rainbow over Mt. Tabor today!

I am inclined to take a whole, uneaten mousey as a token of respect and appreciation from your kitteh.

LOL! Sometimes hard to tell.

Thx, mzchief: yeah, the kittehs have paid me more attention than usual tonight. Squeaky and Smokey discovered the “hidden” (behind a curtain behinda file cabinet) bedroom window onto the patio a week or so ago, and spend allll their time there, just coming out to eat. Then they wash up and go back.
Squeaky especially has been sweet tonight…currently on my lap, just finished licking off all the lotion that was on my arm.
Dayam, look at the time. Rumor has it that our regular schedules will be 7:30 to 4:30…I’m gonna miss LLN. Sigh. We’ll see if it really lasts 8 weeks.
So, signing off, good night, wishing sun for the PNW and peaceful sleep to all.

hey robert — how’s soPA tonight?

Hah. I have similar thoughts…still can’t get over that old woman in the mirror.

Hey, what’s that sound? You can hear it here. And, you can read about it here.

Niters Tejanarusa.

she’s never done anything like this before. the first time she did, it was when i got home after being gone while jen was having the baby. i left fri morning and got home sat nite. i found it sun as i was staggering towards the coffee pot. so glad i didn’t step on it…

hey oldgold — how ya doing tonight?

Aloha, Suz and LLN pups…! I’m gagging on The Grey Lady’s Jill Abramson’s referral to MoDo as a source of her inspiration…! *gah*

Kewl– when are they coming to PDX?

aloha tut — how’s paradise tonight?

Staggering toward the coffee … { LOL } Better that than in your slippers (well, I guess that’s all a matter of perspective).

grass

shhhhh she might hear you — don’t give her any ideas

Great song. (Ooops … >^,,^< )

Gorgeous summer weather. Tonight myself & The Sweety eating pizza and drinking root beer and watching a Godzilla marathon on Turner Classic Movies….

Not too shabby…! Mostly overcast all day, with the same on tap tomorrow…! ;-)

Good lord, I’m thinkin my Junior High years.

KYA Radio, 1260.

Tom Campbell DJ rentin out his red Sting ray.

Lord.

There was a place called Longshoreman’s Hall, back then, n the Bay Area.

Where this band, and many others in the early to mid 60′s, did their thangs.

Wow.

Hell of a catch Suz!

*G*

kind of a drag

hey larue — how’s sac tonight? makes ya think of strawberries and incense?

no green tea nor lemon cake?

itchycoo

Classic song and snazzy shirts.

Egg-sactly, M’dear…! ;-)

I only drink green tea and munch lemon cake alone. When watching dinosaur movies with The Sweety, it’s pizza & root beer on a hot night.

Menu:

GODZILLA, KING OF THE MONSTERS! (1956)

when i woke up this morning

my music selections tonight fit right in that timeline

all day and all of the night?

Btw, I did enjoy a hearty laugh when this email arrived today… ‘Why men act weird when you’re pregnant’…! Now, do we really…? ;-)

You have hit every band tonite that was SF Bay Area can think of.
‘Yer good!!!!

*G*

Chosin Few, Beau Brummels, a few others, but ya hit them rock halls n that rock hall sound n reverb.

Damn yer good!

*G*

laugh laugh

naw, i just get lost in the utubes and run across some good shit… this is the one that started off the search that lead to the up top video

This is just not fair . . . . Beau Brummels were incredible in their time.

I hate to say it but I told you so,
Don’t mind my preachin to Youuuuuuuuuuu . . .

*G*

Suz, yer da best LLN n old school music jammin hossette I ever knew, with Bay Area Roots.

*G*

I remember Glen Campbell remarking on his old show that he was mystified by how that We Five song’s last guitar cords were done. He said he found out it was with a two-arm guitar….

*blushing* thanks dood

double headed guitar

prunes

Flintstones Brummels

ohmystars.. i remember those days — both the flintstones and the jetsons featured rock bands (or pseudo rock bands) to stay hip

Something Good

*swoon*

Evenin’ Lakers,

Probably won’t stick too long tonight. Strange program on Coast to Coast my SO wants for me to listen. Something about ancient ancestry and the breakdown of present day human activity.

Also, I just found out a favorite aunt of mine passed away Tuesday. I really wish I could go to Chicago and be with my extended family.

Now, with her passing, I am the patriarch of the extended family. Mostly that isn’t celebrated or acknowledged in current society. Mixed blessing!

Horns.

Damn yer killin me from my early teens.

*G*

Actually, Campbell then proceeded to play the cords on an actual guitar with 2 fully strung arms….

hey starbuck — i’m so sorry for your loss and that ya can’t go back there for the funeral (((starbuck)))

sweet — is it on utube?

Shit, I have that in my music library . . . .

Dang yer all over it tonite!

*G*

am i pushing too hard?

psychotic

What the World Needs Now … I almost posted the We Five earlier, glad I was paying attention.

Yeah, kinda typical . . . yer all over stuff tonite that’s slayin me.

I’m not sure I could match ya, yer so hot!

‘*G*

Thanks, Suz.

Guess I’m not good company tonight.

I give up.

‘Yer playin my life as a teen.

Slay me now.

;-)

Herman & his Hermits actually did an afternoon summer session at one of my country’s small amusement parks.

I remember standing with The Sweety & The Daughter (1994)off the bandstand, thinking I had never expected to see them in person in my lifetime….

So the tale of going from the big time to small time….

world without love

ain’t got nothin’

I don’t know if You Tube has a clip of that. Wouldn’t even begin to know how to render a search to find it. I’ll have to leave that up to your expertise, Suzanne….

I Know a Place

even when its expected, its still difficult….

Beverly Bivens n Wee 5 were so damned kewl back then it hurt.

You Were On My Mind is timeless.

NIce hit, dude.

mercy

Hi Suz
I’m back. Can’t sleep. Gotta an interview tomorrow to do extra work. I guess I’m excited.

I was gonna go . . . . ok, I AM gonna go.

Stay tuned.

*G*

She was quite the woman. Very calm in the midst of chaos.

She was a founding mother of the La Leche League, which started in Chicago.

hey demi — fingers and toes crossed for ya — have ya tried some soothing tea?

You beat me to Peter & Gordon. How about Gerry & the Pacemakers?

wow

evening, Suzzzz

i’ll never find another you

hey ppd — how ya doing tonight?

Did a cuppa tension tamer. Thought that would do it.
Gosh, the chance to make some money. Imagine.

I Offer This!

*G*

that chance is a good thing

bad link dood — no html

Down In The Boondocks … and thanks to the folks who post these gems to YouTube for our enjoyment.

dirty water and hear hear for the uploaders at utube!!

Gonna try some warm milk. Law’ this music is making me feel older than I am.

doing good thanks ppd :) hoping to go see jujube next week

I gotta say, Suz’s LLN crowd knows as much or as more than I do about the music she puts forth.

Tonight was an incredible run of old Brit Invasion and more,

The SF Bay Area Top 40 was insane to start with!

I love this town.

N now I gotta slumber, but what a great LLN this one was.

‘Thanks to all!

*G*

a taste of honey

g’nite larue

Peaceful sleep, Larue.

congrats on snagging the happy lucky 100 demi!!!

S&C

There ya go. You’re on a real roll.

Little Things

So Sorry.

I meant this.

These Dudes.

Couldn’t hoit. I’ll take it.

sounds great – you’re in the bonus round

hello darkness

thanks — i wudda fixed it but there was nothing there to fix dood :)

Can’t be listening to the Buckinghams without playing this.

western union

Larue, I always thought until you posted this link that the song’s title was I Had Too Much To Drink Last Night, not Dream.

Wow, learning that truth after all these years makes staying up tonight very much more worth the while….

don’t you care

Out of the loop as usual.

But I maintain this visual of the Chopin Nocturne in e-flat, is a bit how I think of it in my head when I play it.

The louds, the softs, the high, the low.

This visualization is really close.

Master Jack

hey kelly — how ya doing tonight? this is my fav nocturne

lay down

I played that nocturne as well.

I took a bit of time here to play the opening piano part for the Ravel G major Piano Concerto, second movement.

Fits my mood.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Fpim9AanqI&feature=related

Smooch!

Well, Malinowski hasn’t animated that Grieg Nocturne yet, so I’m still viable! Weeee!

Just driving by – gotta go. Smooch again!

*smooches backatcha babe*

g’nite kelly

All I Really Want to Do
Trying to remember if I can include multiple links. Let’s try.
second version
Haven’t found a version by Dylan himself, so here’s a version you may not have heard.

wow dood — what contrasts!

Ahh, you caught my attention. I love that andante.

Do you play the 3rd movement? I can’t play the goddamned 3rds hand over hand for my life.

My daughter just adored Melanie’s songs. Jen was in her very early teens when I would be in the living room watching TV and she could be heard upstairs in her bedroom, headphones on, bellowing from upstairs Lay Down.

Melanie played Woodstock. I was disappointed when I purchased the Woodstock movie that her performance had been cut from the film….

Bedtime. Goodnight all.

tis is my fav song of hers — i’m sure i drove my folks nuts singing it with my bff ami… over and over and over

g’nite mr why

Gotta be kidding1

That version I posted, by Helene Grimaud, is one of my favorites. We play it very similarly.

I have been thinking of writing an ending fro it at the intro point to the orchestra so as to make a complete little solo work of it. Pick up on the long trill at the end of the movement.

one

What great songs tonight!

glad you are enjoying them margot :) thank you

duncan becomes joy

Guess I’ll sign off.

Later….

g’nite starbuck

Hey, Suz… I was atop MK when this vid was shot…! ;-)
