RE: Owning a piece of Trump... stock

Fundamentals will matter at some point. As of now it's a meme stock. I wouldn't touch it but that doesn't mean it won't go higher, for a while at least. Trump won't be able to sell any shares for 6 months because of lock-up.

RE: How to sound EXACTLY like Jimi Hendrix...

Yeah both Clapton and Hendrix played on that record. I think it's the only record they were both on. professor

RE: How to sound EXACTLY like Jimi Hendrix...

I know he played on Stephen Stills solo album. In those days there were limited tracks, anyhow he laid down a great solo but said afterward he could do better.. so he tried again but never achieved what he did in the track that was written over.. doh

That's a story that Stills tells..

RE: Opening songs...

I like those early Steve miller albums. Number 5 is a great album. Charlie McCoy did some outstanding harp tracks on tunes like "Going to the Country." thumbs up

RE: Playing a BEATLES album backwards...

Yeah I remember when quadraphonic sound was going to be the next big thing. I guess the masses weren't interested. I had a Marantz stereo amplifier and added a Marantz tuner in the mid 70s. Sometime in the 80s I replaced those not knowing they would someday become quite valuable. Which reminds me of those Topps baseball cards I had that I gave away, not knowing I had a fortune building there too. wow

RE: Playing a BEATLES album backwards...

It sounds like you had some nice stereo gear back in the day. I can remember wanting a Dual turntable but they were kind of expensive so I got something else. I never got around to playing the Beatles records backwards… laugh

RE: The End...

Yeah I'm sure Clapton learned directly from Duane Allman before he died tragically in '71. guitar

RE: The End...

There's a great album "Delaney & Bonnie & Friends With Eric Clapton On Tour." It was recorded at the end of '69. Harrison went along on that tour but didn't get album credits. guitar

RE: The End...

George wasn't into Sgt. Pepper. His thing was Indian music at that time and learning the Sitar. He was a fast learner. In a few years he would get interested in slide guitar after touring with Delaney & Bonnie and became very good at that as well.

RE: The End...

When George walked out of the 'Let it Be' sessions Lennon had said he would ask Clapton to replace him. As it turned out Harrison wasn't out long and there was no need to replace George. The 'Let it Be' sessions were just prior to Abbey Road. guitar

RE: Condo insurance increases...

Interesting discussion on rising HOAs and condo association boards.

RE: Condo insurance increases...

When I was a condo owner in the 80s it always bugged me when the HOA went up at a higher rate than inflation. According to google "On average, owners in Florida can expect to pay between $100-$500/month in association dues." writing $100 sounds like a bargain, in any state.

RE: Condo insurance increases...

I had been interested in retiring to FL but the hurricanes and rising HOAs have me re-thinking that. writing

RE: Drummer Stewart Copeland...

I read Sting's biography. He talks about Copeland some. It was Copeland's idea to name the band 'The Police.' Sting wasn't that enthusiastic about it but went along with it. Copeland was an American living in England at the time.

RE: Remembering those bloggers who are no longer with us...

I thought of Willy after the Lions beat KC in NFL week 1 as he was a lifelong Lions fan. It’s too bad he wasn’t able to see it.

RE: REVOLVER...

Interesting. I like reading about the wrecking crew and Carol Kaye. Jamerson is a legend. I just finished reading the Leon Russell biography and that gave a lot of insight into the wrecking crew. thumbs up

RE: REVOLVER...

You must be a bass player. I can tell the difference in sound of an upright bass from an electric bass and that's about it. I like the sound of an upright with a small ensemble, usually jazz. guitar

RE: REVOLVER...

Interesting that you could tell the difference in sound between a Hofner and Rickenbacker bass. I wouldn't be able to do that. dunno

RE: Singer Jimmy Buffett dead at 76...

I never got to see him in concert. Dang. His shows seemed to sell out fast around here. He had some talented guys in his band. Sad day in parrot-head land. crying

RE: Zebra Crossing...

I always thought it was their best album. I know they intended it to be their best album as they wanted to go out on top. Rolling Stone readers picked Revolver however. dunno

I didn't know until later that Let it Be was recorded before Abbey Road. There are so many stories about both albums and how the band was starting to disintegrate.

I thought the 'Get Back' film provided some insight into what was going on with them at the time.

RE: Zebra Crossing...

Iconic album and album cover for sure. It was released in '69 though wasn't it? The White Album came out in '68. tip hat

RE: The Twitter bird is gone...

Sign of desperation perhaps. Twitter's value is down considerably since Musk got involved. sad

RE: Record heat

52 new fires in Greece... today. wow

RE: Rock icon Jeff Beck dead at 78

I was fortunate enough to see him 3 times in concert. He'll be missed.

RE: Why I refuse to fall in love

When love happens you won't have much you can do about it. It just happens. That's why they say "fall" in love. You fall... then you land some place good, hopefully. wine

RE: see my lover photo......

Good that he gave the peace sign. It could've been worse. thumbs up

RE: White guys playing da Blues...

The Rolling Stones named themselves after a blues song and always said they loved the blues. They didn't record that many blues songs though. Just a few that I know of.

dunno
