Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Chowny would be a good name for a short scale dog.

Glenn Miller died tragically on this day.
Research has determined there's a high probability the plane he was in was hit over the English Channel by bombs jettisoned from an allied aircraft which had aborted its mission and was returning to England.

I’ve read that...or maybe it was a documentary...from, what seemed to me to be a credible source.

War really Is hell. :banghead:
 
Happy Soulful Sunday...


Great ol' tune. We used to do it as a trio-GBD-but really lacking w/o the horns.
Which reminds me: A snake and a trombonist are struck and killed on the side of a road. The difference between them? The snake might have had a gig.
 
Happy Soulful Sunday...



We played this well in the last band I played with...

Here’s another song we played
well...



Every Sunday is a Happy Soulful Sunday when you got music in your soul. :thumbsup:
 
I have a serious need for information. I was reading the Wiki entry on "hipster culture" and was brought to a screeching halt by the idea that they favor "ironic moustaches". Someone please explain to me how facial hair can be "ironic".
haha....It implies they are being silly rather than serious...like those handlebar mooostaches

It might be related to drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon beer...the polar opposite of the ‘craft’ beers their peers drink...or perhaps they believe they have no peers...no one nearly as cool as they are...or perhaps they get a giggle out of wearing their cappuccino froth for all the world to admire...

I could go on, but I’ve got a Poor Boy Refreshment Tall Boy staring at me longingly... :thumbsup:

OK, I have a "Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout" that needs my undivided attention.
 
How good is this live performance. Great horn section.

What struck me is the high placement of the drum cymbals. The drummer must be an experienced studio musician. It's hard to get drummers to position them high. With the cymbals lower like most drummers like, the drum mics pick them up too much which can requite trimming the high frequencies. Better to address the problem at the source.

Despite other releases of this song, Berry Gordy had to be pressed to put it out. In December of 1968, Marvin's version immediately went to number 1 on the Billboard pop charts for a seven week run.

Same way I can play a P bass ironically, and decorate my home for Christmas ironically.

Probably not possible to drink this ironically. But someone did drink it ...
