Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

^ bidding on movie rights around the idea of an inherited banjo bass
needs to be film noir

Perfect subject matter for a film noir. Perhaps a child could inherit it. The film can focus on how the banjo bass affected and changed their life, both in the negative and the positive. It can conclude with them dying, going to heaven, and being the odd one out for causing stress when they insist in joining an angel harp band.

And for Soulful Sunday



edit: a bit of trivia I recently learned, In the Midnight Hour was composed by Cropper and Pickett at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, a few years later made infamous as the site where Dr. King was gunned down.

The Colonel Steve Cropper on songwriting

Interesting! Follow the dots. Something tells me that it isn’t that easy. I must be doing something wrong when I try to write a song like that.

 

[SoulReflection]

Talk about hitting the ball out of the park with your debut albun. It’s such a powerful song that keeps being covered. Written by Floyd and Steve Cropper in 1966. And what a lineup.

Isaac Hayes keeps coming up as a musician and songwriter of Stax material. Most people know him for the double album entitled Shaft which was used in the 1971 movie of the same name. A time when music moved more into disco.


Knock on Wood musicians.

• Eddie Floyd – vocals
• Booker T. Jones – keyboards, piano, organ
• Isaac Hayes – keyboards, piano
• Steve Cropper – guitar

Thanks @beans-on-toast. This is one of my favorite tunes that my group played, way back then. Great bass pattern, especially when playing Apple lossless through a good 2.1 or better speaker system, or, quality head/earphones .

 

[SoulReflection]

Congratulations. It’s amazing how quickly time passes.

Especially when you are having fun .

Speaking of headphones, a few months ago I bought some Lola’s from Blue. They aren’t super expensive but at the same time not cheap. I managed to get a sale price white colored ones.

I’ve never been able to use headphones for extended times, my inner ears swell despire not using them at high volume levels. That problem went away with these headphones. I don’t know why but I can use them for hours at a time with no ill effects. They are light and comfortable. Sound very good.

Born on a leap year?

Married on a leap day! So, didn't have an actual anniversary day this year.

Instead, we celebrated all last month! 35 years this year!! It's true what they say, "Love is lovelier the second time around", at least for us.

We each learned many things from our first marriages, and neither of us have gone too whacko for too long since. We raised a blended family of five kids together, and yesterday enjoyed the baby shower for our 8th grandchild. Life is good.

Now get off my muddy lawn!

Better to be having a good life. You wouldn’t want to be prayin’ for the end of time.

I have a little bit of Eire in me.

Me too and it comes out at the most inopportune moments!!

Should Victor Wooten be cast to play the part?

Now get off my muddy lawn!

Do blues musicians strive for a mucky Muddy Waters lawn?

No driving your truck on my lawn,
can't get the grass to grow,
It gots the muddy water blues.

 

[GwenOnBass]

Should Victor Wooten be cast to play the part?

More like Victor Borge, yes?

The weren't mods or rockers, they were mockers.

The stones were more concerned about finding satisfaction.
