General Music Chat

I remember learning proud mary on the ukelele in grade 5 music class. tom dooley as well come to think of it... folesom prison was in gr6 when we got to guitars.

as a band first song I did was hold the line, toto

ABC's
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

House of the rising sun was the fist I leared to sing and play on the guitar.

I rember Mom singing and playing a song when I was very young and I don't know the name of it but would kill to find it again. It ended in the chorus with " If some folks would leave us alone". Thats all I can remember of it since its probably bee 35 years since I heard her sing it last.

I was in the Choir once. I think the Art / Music teacher flunked me on purpose just to get me out .

Thanks a million Paul. Its been a long time since I've heard that song " Loose Talk'. The video with Henry sellers was made down the street a couple of miles . I used to go get my bluegrass fix there once in a while. The thing about bluegrass is I get bored after moving my capo two or three times. At one time I wondered if my mom had wrote that song as I couldn't find it. But that was quite a few years ago. I think I'll learn it in memory of my mom.

Yikes, was it really that long ago>?

Rockin' Robin by Michael Jackson. After hearing his voice, I always knew I wanted to sing.

I was working a cover band with two singers down in central FL - one got sick, the other 'figured' we wouldn't go on without the first one so neither one of those dipshits bothered to show.

My brother and I were stone broke and running a bar tab at the club - wondering why we had no singers. The drummer was in poor shape too. We had to go on stage.

So what was my first song? Sweet Jane, then Doo Doo Doo Heartbreaker (my soundman played trombone on that) and then I ran out of things I knew the lyrics to. So I began a talking blues thing for a long time and people seemed to like it. It helped that my brother plays lead guitar like a mad man.

Couldn't do our originals since I had never bothered to learn to sing them! I just wrote them and handed them over to the singers.

About half way through the gig I was sweating bullets but the crowd was juiced enough that it was working. Barely...then a chick singer I knew showed up and I put her on stage immediately and she baled us out. We'd worked together before which helped.

The owner knew we had winged it but everyone was smilin' at the end of the night so he paid us off. After subtracting the bar tab...

So that was my first attempt at singing. I'll post my next attempt shortly, God willing.
