Let's spread some musical misinformation

Ah, the Almond Brothers - their fans went nuts.

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't...

No problem! It costs peanuts to replace.

Yep, there's no point in sugar-coating it.

Manufacturing costs for music in the North are prohibitively high so very little is produced , and usually only for export. The raw materials grow slowly due to extreme temperatures and environmental conditions.

But the north produces the best reverb. Tundra reverb can not be reproduced with a pedal; analog or digital. Consequently it commands a high price and few bands can afford it and northern countries have agreed to strict export limits. It is the secret behind Geddy Lee's vocals.

That's rock and/or roll. I had great fun in my youth playing in a roll band. The Rolling Stones is of course a crossover band as it played (in the early days) roll as well as rock (Stones ...). Rocks that could also roll. Then they discovered the blues.

The Rolling Stones experimented with many types of music. Having failed with the reds and yellows, they stumbled into the blues.

Come on, that's not true, there's Southern music, and stuff from Japan is eastern. I've never heard of any music from the north, though, apart from Rush and Abba.

Well, there was this from the North:

Because the Allman brothers band sued over the name.

Parliament, the groundbreaking funk band, took its name from the British House of Commons where all the original members were serving MPs. In 1972, the band was opened up to the House of Lords to allow Bootsy Collins to join. The 1977 hit Dr. Funkenstein was written by Bootsy Collins about his friend and mentor, then leader of the opposition, Margaret Thatcher.

Bass dulcimer would be awesome. I have a couple of spare bridges, some wood, strings, and a couple of spare pickups. But I only have a really big rubber mallet.

Just do what I did: Fake a car accident and while you're in the emerg there are plenty of those rubber mallets doctors use to test reflexes laying around. I only had to fake three accidents to get them: One for each hand and a spare!

Rosewood hammers for blues?

Ahhh you know it! You must've heard my band "The Delta Dulcimer Blues Explosion Eh!" in one of BC's Lower-Mainland pubs. Small confession, all the guys lived in Delta except me — but we thought "The Delta & Surrey Dulcimer Blues Explosion Eh!" was too long, that and Surrey has a stigma attached to it. I was literally across 120th street from Delta, Scott Road, in Surrey — still the wrong side of the "track"; So close, yet so far ...


Alas I don't play bass-dulcimer well enough to play jazz and besides, I couldn't afford the ebony hammers required for jazz.

Oh man, Was it you who did "Johnny's dulcimer solo" on your version of 'The Devil Went Down To Georgia.'? That's the smokingest version I ever did hear!

I confess that was not me. I had to hire a sub to do that as I was busy being the stand-in stunt-double for Les Claypool on the video of Primus' cover of "Devil Went Down to Georgia". Great video shoot! The craft-services was a taco truck with a running hot-cheese fountain (I think the French call it "Fondieu").




All that's in the past now, and the dark metal dulcimer band just folded. The drummer and I are looking for a lead dulcimer player to start a Djent-Doom dulcimer trio. We're going to call it ...

"King Nepdoom's Tri-Djent"

Their sister, the youngest in the family, was supposed to do background vocals as well as some lead vocals on some songs — however she decided to go into the candy business instead. Her name was "Joy".

Keanu Reeve's band only experimented with the reds and blues.

Can a white man sing the blues, it is asked. But can a blue man sing the whites? A question that can be answered in any Scottish winter folk club session.

Well, there was this from the North:

Ah, lots of small hand cannon for their version of the 1812 overture. Also good for tough crowds should they be expecting country and/or western

The famous UK venue the Town and Country specialised in these two forms of music, but Town is now known as Urban

Of course. A Blue Man can play just about any genre.

The Blue-Woman Group basically quit before they got started – everyone's strip turned blue and they all went on maternity leave.
