Jayboard, you got it,dude. It's amazing how men begin to sqirm when I make the comment that memory is the SECOND thing to go. Silly.... but, then, that's what helps us enjoy this life - all the silly moments :-) |
hey, Rcprince, I don't know the answer to yours, BUT
"what song do all New York Area radio stations play at noon on Thanksgiving Day? |
Undertaker, your hint wasn't too much help, as that's one of their few albums I never got! Let me try with their producer, George Martin, who played piano on a number of their albums, including the Help album. Otherwise, how about Billy Preston, who played the organ on a number of their releases. Here's a question which I have no idea why I remember it--in the late 60s, there was a group (SF based, I think) which recorded a song "Endless Tunnel", an extremely forgettable acid-rock anthem along the lines of the Doors' "The End". If you listened to WNEW-FM in NYC in the late 60s, you might remember it. Name the group. |
"Yesterday" began life as "Scrambled Eggs," a lot like my brains these days... |
Well, I'll be, Angela (4-7 post), I did not know that applied to women. wink, wink. |
|
phild, yes - the dukes of stratosphear. i have two of their albums as well as most of xtc's works. amazing ting to me, is that the dukes sound quite different than xtc even tho it's the same folks... doug s. |
david: don't let all those + votes go to your head, now. just remember that, purportedly, the majority of lottery winners blow their rewards in a year or less. -kelly (who's much happier being your friend than your adversary) |
Thank you for the kind words regarding this thread.It is a fun topic for sure.Thank you all for the + votes also.I have a tainted reputation here and need all the + votes I can get to keep audiogon from "assgone'ing" me! Im glad you are getting a kick out of this thread Angela.Maybe we can figure out a way to get a game of spin the bottle going here! |
whoa, Phild, I even have that albumn......somewhere...... and couldn't come up with that! +2/+2 from me, 2!
They say that memory is the SECOND thing to go... and I forgot what the first thing was :-) |
I think the Beatles may have had a session musician on one of their very first recorded songs. If I remember correcly, I think a drummer named Alan White played on one of their first singles...not Ringo. XTC's Psychedelic Psuedonym was "The Dukes of Stratosphear" (and it's a very fun album). |
Undertaker, YOU THE MAN! +2+2. "Donna Lee" on the euphonium, now that's something. |
Keep looking, reprince, that should "Help"!
I'll take a guess on Charlie Parker, how about the Euphonium |
undertaker, your hint re: steve earle is good, but his backing band's name is only *part* of xtc's *other* band's name... |
Right you are Rcprince. Good questions. What was Charlie Parker's first musical instrument? Hint, it was not a reed instrument. |
Frogman, I'll give you points, but it was 2 out of 3 (the last one was a little bit of a trick question). Steve Katz was the lead guitarist for BST, but NOT the Blues Project, where he was the rhythm guitarist (as we called them back then). Lead guitar honors went to Danny Kalb, who to this day still sticks in my mind as one of the best I ever heard play in those days before wah-wah pedals and other distortion devices other than my old fuzz-box. I understand he still plays in NYC, acoustic these days (a friend of mine ran into him at a flea market in Brooklyn a few years ago, as he was checking out a Blues Project album). Bbloom, I recall Super Session as being after Kooper left BST, but I wasn't thinking of that as a real group in that it more was a recording session--great guitarists there, though, huh? |
Or was Super Session right after BS&T? |
Is Frogman right? I would have said: Kooper, Blumfield and Stills. And Steven Stills was the Guitarist. "Super Session" |
Rcprince, not sure wether your questions are directed at Undertaker or not, so I'm going to jump in. 1. Al Kooper 2. Blues Project. 3. Steve Katz. I'll try again with my question: What was Charlie Parker's first instrument? |
Undertaker, I'll try again, you got me looking through my old Beatles albums. Would you consider Anil Bhagwat, the tabla player on "Love You To" from the Revolver album, to be a "featured" artist? I was going to guess the clarinetist from "When I'm 64", but I don't know who that was. One set of questions back at you, probably pretty easy--1. Who was the original organist for Blood, Sweat and Tears; 2. What group did he play with immediately prior to joining BST; and 3. Who was the lead guitarist for that former group? |
PS: Sorry about the There/Their's, I know better but have brain damage. |
David99: Sorry I have been blocked out of posting again last night and today. The George Harrison album and band was "Dark Horse", also I beleive on Dark Horse Records and there may have been two albums released, but I cannot remember for sure. The P. Roducer was "Harry Georgeson" and it was obvious that Harrison did the guitar work. He did not sing on the album because Apple (with whom he was in contract with at the time and with whom he was thourougly disgusted with) could have proved through voice analysis that it was him performing. Their were two vocalists in the band who both sang at the same time and when they did they sounded very much like GH. The rumor was that they were two unknowns that had been selected for this combined talent (or parroting ability) that they had. |
Let's all give David a round of applause and +2/+2 for this fun thread! "Drinks all around, my friends" |
David, you are one WIERD puppy (Your Madonna answer) but this is the BEST WAY EVER to use this voting system for FuN! This is a great idea and hopefully, some other creative souls can think of other fun ways to utilize the system. THANKS! |
|
Good guess, but there were two rock stars and a number of actors, who each did solos. I gave you points for an amusing guess. Your answer would have been as good as the real thing. |
|
Forgive me in advance, but I have to ask this question. Who made their guest appearance on Sesame Street singing one of my daughter's and my all time favorites, "You Got To Put Down The Ducky, If You Want To Play The Saxophone"? |
Undertaker, I posted that question about Gearge Harrison on Badge up above, only I gave the pseudonym, Angelo Mysterioso.
Sedond, Edward Hopper is correct. |
Undertaker, in answer to your Beatles question (2), does Revolution No. 9 (no. 9, no.9, no.9) count as a song? |
RCPrince, you are correct, Ravi Shankar did not play sitar on WYWY, that was George. There was another debate earlier on here about just who did play on While My Guitar Gently Weeps, but I'm pretty sure that was Clapton (it sounds like Clapton to me, and Clapton is listed on the credits, so I'd conclude it was Clapton). Further, Harrison did play on Badge -- Do you remember what his pseudonym was?
However, Clapton was not the first "guest" instrumentalist on a Beatles song. |
This is a nice thread. Undertaker, on your (1) Beatles question, I don't think Ravi Shankar played the sitar on "Within You, Without You", did he? If not, I seem to recall that Eric Clapton played on one of their White Album cuts--was it "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"? Just guesses, my memory's a bit hazy, and it's been a tough day. Maybe I'm confusing that with Harrison playing on Cream's Goodbye album ("Badge")? |
Hint on the XTC question; isn't it the same name as one of Steve Earle's backing bands?
Two more Beatles trivia questions: (1) Name the first Beatles song to "feature" a musician other than John, Paul, George, and Ringo; (2) Name a Beatles song that featured none of the fab four playing instruments; and (3) name the other one (at least that I can recall). |
oops, a quick search came up w/edward hopper, blbloom - is dat cheatin'? ;~) |
bbloom, is it norman rockwell? david, no it's not limp bizkit, and, not to worry, no negative wotes for guessin'... ;~) doug s. |
Duddy- answer:Limp Bizkit?? |
what is xtc's alter-ego *pop* band called? |
Tom Wait's "Nighthawks at the Diner" just came up in another post. The cover is a parady of a painting by a great American artist. Who is the artist? |
|
Undertaker4. You are taxing my brain with this one. Easy question, yes, but my memory isn't what it used to be. I think it is Duran Duran. |
Heres an easy one: What band got their name from Jane Fonda's Barbarella? |
Bibloom-thats easy! White Out (thanks Undertaker Shhhh!) |
Blbloom, I know the answer to this one, but am not guessing. I would hate to hog this thread, so I wrote the answer out, and am now whiting it out with an office product. |
Angela-I checked my skivies and they are white (good?) smooth silk like material(bad?) and the label says "Madonna's Pink Pleasure" (????) |
Next question. What fortune is Michael Naismith of the Monkeys heir to? |
Undertaker4, Right, Gary Busey played drums for Leon Russel. |
Frogman, correct +2/+2 for U ! |
OK, I guess it's time for me to jump in. Angela, if I'm not mistaken, Al Dimeola played with "Return To Forever" in the '80's. Here's a couple: 1. What was Charlie Parker's first musical instrument? 2. What (live) farm animal did Airto play as a percussion instrument on Hermeto Pascoal's brilliant '76 recording "Slave's Mass"? |
Angela, that is the funniest post you have ever done. Don't spill your drink on the Junkies, unless its green wine. |
Angela100; seems we were posting at the same time. But either way I think you are correct. "The Trinity Session" just lists three, but on the Studio Sessions, John Timmins is listed as 'back-up vocals'. But I don't think John is a "regular" or full time band member. Either way you get the cigar IMO, and the votes. Cheers. Craig |
