Reading Vs Listening to Learn Piano
LOL...this reminded me of something that happened to me when I was taking lessons.Improvising comes very easy to me. Unfortunately, it became a problem when I was trying to learn "the classics."I was working on "Rhapsody in Blue" and I got to a pa... 
foreign lyrics -------do you care?
It doesn't matter to me; you can get the point regardless of the language. 
Eagles Concert Guitar Player
You're right, Drubin. The reason I remember is because Hamish had blonde hair, and Robbie had dark brown hair. (Dumb way to remember, isn't it?)In any event, I think the Eagles were profoundly stupid to boot Don Felder out of the band.

Drubin: Yes! I was thinking his first name was Robbie but I couldn't remember his last name. Thanks!

I agree; Felder was a much better guitarist. Joe Walsh certainly is an "interesting" personality, but when he talks he sure sounds like he burned out a few neurons back in the day. 
Eagles Concert Guitar Player
He was on the L of Joe Walsh...wasn't he a member of the Pretenders? If it's the guy I'm thinking of, he also toured with McCartney in the early 90's.I'm still po'd that they booted Don Felder out. I wasn't even going to watch it, but I couldn't r... 
What's the funniest song you ever heard?
Maybe not the funniest, but "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport" is definitely in the weird department. 
Does anyone do good protest music anymore?
In my mind, the last group to really do "protest music" well was CSNY. No one has been able to match the outrage expressed in a song like "Ohio," or the sad resignation of "Find the Cost of Freedom."JMO, FWIW. 
The song you just cant stop playing???
Papertrail: Sorry, I didn't see your question earlier. On the Beatles "Anthology 3" is Georges demo of WMGG. It's just him on an acoustic; Paul comes in toward the middle with a little bit of organ. As I said, there is also a different lyric at th...

No, not any more.

The demo version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." Beautiful acoustic version with a different set of lyrics at the end. 
Beatles "Butcher Block" Album
Thanks...sorry about that. I was mixing albums with kitchen furniture, lol. Need some sleep. 
Song intros that really grab you? ?
"50 Ways To Leave Your Lover"-that drum hook is amazing. 
Best Genesis Album - your opinions please.
None. I have never forgiven them for their dreadful concert at Veterans' Stadium in Philly (1989?). Awful, awful, awful. Absolutely no excuse for that; I saw McCartney there the year before and his sound system was spot on. 
Any one heard "The Five Browns"?
I have their album (ack, disc I mean). Very good; I really like the "Scenes From West Side Story." I was disappointed that in the DVD of "Scenes..." they didn't include "Tonight." Instead, they play an abbreviated version.Really interestin to watc...
