The One Truth's Lounge Thread

Plini's music takes me back to my undergraduate days. I was 'forced' to take a music appreciation/exploration class and we wrote music critiques. I did mine on Joe Satriani "Flying in a Blue Dream",

and an excellent job I did in my humble estimation... :) but the teacher gave me a B. I showed my review to several other students and they agreed that I should have received an A. They were, as we use to say 'Chicks' and the teacher favored them... :)

Anyway, I might have chosen Plini to do...

Of the last few years, this guy has been one of my favorites:

My daughter did a performance of 'Spanish Serenade' on her self-taught ukelele after about a year of playing. She got a standing ovation with acclamation that she would be the next Yo Mama. Nobody recorded it (her mother or I). What a loss...it was play worthy. :) I so wanted her to get serious but she just wouldn't. :(

As a sidenote my adoptive dad tried to teach me to play the guitar as a kid and gave up after a single lesson... :)

I have that album, and I saw Joe live in 1993. It was on his "Extremist" promotion tour, but he did play "Flying In A Blue Dream" and several other songs from that album, as well as some stuff from his earlier albums ─ e.g. "Satch Boogie". ;)

I've known guys who hate Satch and Vai because they're such technical players. They're merely jealous because the only thing they know how to play is the pentatonic scale. :p

The song was not a big hit when it was originally released by the Brothers Johnson, until the remake of the movie "Shaft" came along, with Samuel L. Jackson playing the role of the eponymous detective. ;)

Is that so? I've first heard the song maybe a few years ago when I saw Quentin Tarantino's movie Jackie Brown, I've never heard the song before that except from the brothers I know the song called Stomp which I like a lot too.

This song is a real ear worm to me now that I've discovered it again, it's not that I only dig but I'm addicted to it. What can I say, when it comes to the real music from 70's, I'm a sucker. :p

He did some mild funk, but he was more of a soul guy. ;)

you folks are trying to turn me into a billie Elish fan...no limits to creativity in the world.

I can't say I liked Billie until watching actual interviews, starting with one posted by Gio when she was on Howard Stern. She came off as real and not a freak. Have I posted her appearance on carpool karaoke yet? Hmmmmm....

Here it is.

An "oldie". :)

I always loved that song. :)

Not much beat, but it's easy to sing to, I give it a 85... :)

I'm not happy :) My daughter hates this song...or claims so, anyway.
