Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[GwenOnBass]

Was thinking about this today, sorta. What you describe was at night when things got rolling. The daytime vision of the same place during band set-up with the harsh clean up light on painted a different picture. Darkness hides a lot of grime.

Spot on, sorta. Joe Maphis writed the song. New Riders of the Purple Sage put me over the top. Giving more and more idle thought to a NRPS kind of band. It'd draw the right crowd without the overhead of expectations. Which was what my last band was, so who knows where I am in these times.

John Banner's character in Hogan's Heroes was based on the Sgt. Schultz character in the movie "Stalag 17". Hence the same name.

Sounds good on a pipe organ.

Interesting to note, the album was the first release on Virgin Records. Mike Oldfield began writing Tubular Bells when he was 17, it was released on May 25, 1973 (almost 48 years ago if you can believe that!) when he was 19. At the time he was living in a dumpy apartment in the North of London working as a bass player.

Tubular Bells came first. It was later adopted it as part of the soundtrack for the movie.

With a Leslie speaker cabinet, you don't have to do that, the speaker spins.

So, bass players make heads spin...got it .

I first heard Tubular Bells as pre-show music when I saw Genesis the second time round (yes, there was a Leslie involved [not who what you're thinking]), in the fall of '73 when they were touring Selling England by the Pound. Now that I think about it (a µ sec. later), actually, I heard tubular bells the first time I saw Genesis (Phil played a set of them).

It'd be 'fun' to attach a coupla laser pointers to the spinning horns. Watch kitty go nuts.

Maybe best to watch the movie if you want to see projectile vomit.

That looks like an ashtray base. That makes it double scary.
