What if they survived

[TyBo]

Thanks, guys, I actually never heard of Scott LaFaro until right now.

Excellent! TB has lived up to its highest ideals.

Indeed! Scott LaFaro's work with Bill Evans is probably his best known ... he certainly made his mark. Gone too soon.

I don't even know what to say, that's the most amazing shiat I ever heard

What's more amazing - LaFaro only lived 7 years after starting to play the bass. He got REAL good, REAL fast.

I keep this, framed, in the music room...a reminder of some of the remarkable members of the family I am a part of, and what I should aspire to.

Thanks to Ward Sutton, we have a educated guess about what would have happened to Kurt Cobain:

Seems plausible to me, with the exception of the Gn'R thing.

Yeesh. Okaaay ... I will. Geez, it's like pulling teeth here. Who exactly were you referencing in the following? If not me, then who you were arguing with? (It was my post you were answering, after all.)



So you most certainly exaggerated what I was saying, engaged in a bit of hyperbole there. And yes, you implied that I was saying Hendrix was "the best in the world", when you said (among other things), and I quote, "I am only arguing the statement he is 'The worlds greatest guitar player.'" That "greatest guitar player" bit is not a statement I ever made, yet you're clearly attributing it to me (as well as comparing me to a religious zealot). If you're not attributing that statement to me, then who are you attributing it too, and who exactly are you arguing with, since that's not a position I ever advocated? Can you see where this would be a little irritating, when it's simply a misrepresentation of what I was saying? Religious zealot? Really? What part of anything I said has even a hint of that?

OK, I think maybe the tooth is pulled now ... ("No it isn't." Yes, it is." "No it isn't ... I came here for an argument" )

You read it that way. I didn't write it that way. I was not attempting to insult you at all.
You are now becoming tiresome. Let it go.

 

[TyBo]

Pretty vague and unconvincing rebuttal on your part. I'm not going to take it apart, what I wrote before speaks for itself, and you haven't really answered it. You're right though, that this is tiresome (although I wouldn't say that's all on me, by any stretch). TBH, I thought you'd already let it go, as my post was a while ago. It doesn't really matter anyway, this is a small matter, and we've spent more than enough time on this chew toy.

Well Put!

I believe Roy Buchanan deserves to be more than mentioned as a part of this thread!
My wife and I saw him in a club in NYC in the early 80s. I remember him being larger than life...the best guitar slinger I'd ever seen. He could do it ALL, with grace and speed and taste and a wry smile, as he made a joke about my cowboy hat.
I remember hearing about his death from Paul Harvey, of all people, who did a masterful obit during his 15 minute mid-day program on a random weekday. He had the time, and he took the time, to explain to those who had no idea who Roy Buchanan was, just how important and unique a musical figure had crossed the river, and in such a tragic way! I remember being struck dumb!
"Livestock" is still one of those albums that I would have to take with me to that desert island.

 

[TyBo]

Good one! Roy is definitely missed. A master of the Telecaster.

I need to get "Livestock" in a digital format - I've had the vinyl for many, many years, and it's a great album ... the remastered CD is even better, really brings out the dynamics. I sometimes play "Can I change My Mind" from that album, which has a great guitar figure as part of its signature sound. Of course, I can't duplicate Roy's solo (so I don't try, just do my own thing), and I don't know that I can sing it as well as Billy Price does, but it's a great tune.

 

[the harp unstrung]

it's a great tune.
