Tour Talk

Hmmm, I was going to add "kazoo" to my most hated instrument list, but I just found out Mozart actually wrote a symphony for them.

That funny little man. Always coming up with ways to piss off the Archduke.

Spoons are pretty bad, too...or a washboard player with no soul

haha ok

I see everyone's got issues here. I would go with guitarists as well. The leads
just cant stop soloing. Cant stand it when they think we're all getting shivers down our spine! The beauty of a solo comes with structure or it's just a self contained mess of notes that only helps to feed the guitarist's ego.

mruff !

Irmy,
I scored some clean vinyl of our ol' pal Peter Schickele over the weekend.

P.D.Q. Back Strikes Back!

It contains some first class annoying kazoo playing, as well as bagpipes , balloons , and bicycles.

It's the drummer that plays as hard and as fast as humanly possible, as if he plays with less vigor the world will stop rotating and we will all crash and burn.

The Drummer can't tune his drum either as he has no clue that a drum can be tuned.

HowlinJ I WORSHIP that guy. Now THERE is a showman! Knows his music and can damn sure grab a crowd.

By the way, as a keyboardist I thought you'd get a kick out of some tracks from a CD I put out several years ago called "The Glory Circuit" - my electronic versions of Bach pieces from his "Gesselschaft" collection.

Enjoy -

You just reminded me of the old lead singer for the B-52's, Fred Schneider. When he wasn't singing, he'd wail on that cowbell and I wanted to wrap that thing around his scrawny neck, it was so annoying.

Lmao. No cowbells! Ever.

There was that damned keyboardist who only used that annoying casiotone caliope noise or horrid crappy horn sounds...when I asked him for a simple piano tone, he told me that that would cost more!

Needless to say, he's outta the picture

That would...."cost more"?

Oy.

Yeah, he meant that he would charge the band more for decent tones...what a effin' jerk!

I caught him out in the parking lot smoking crack one night, & went back in the bar & got like 15 ppl to come out and start banging on his car door asking for a buzz...it was hilarious! He never came back...I wonder why?

Ecch "rocks are for throwing, not for smoking."

Irmy,

Just downloaded your "Prelude toEnglish Suite 2"

JESUzzzzONASTICK!!...4.39 minutes of pure joy!

How much are those CD,s ?

I'll be definitely be listenin' to the others later.

You is one talented Witchboy!

Bach on!
Howlin'

GA you will never make it to TX without the cowbell my man. more of a wink wink inserted musical inside joke that an instrument. always gets a redneck to smile. Kinda like cat nip.

I called up a local music store once, & the owner was at another store.

I asked his wife if they had a triangle in "E"...she said she didn't know, they weren't labelled.

So I had her play about ten of them over the phone after I told her I was holding my tuner to my phone. T'was hard not to laugh while she seriously played each one, & then asked me if it was the right note.

LOL...I felt kinda guilty about that one, & had to go & buy one from her the next day.

Glad you liked them Howlin....you seem to know so much about music, I had no doubt you'd "get" those!

I'll send you all the tracks at some point if you like (MP3s), on me.
