Marblehead Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) I tend to be all over the place musically (classical, rock, post-rock, punk, ambient, folk, electronica, jazz, avant-garde), but lately I've been getting into Wire. This tune (and energy) has been stuck in my head for quite some time: Â I would throw that in the basket labeled "Garage Rock". I have listened to that style of music but am not too impressed with it. Â Â Â Apech, that left me wondering "Why?"

Marblehead Posted August 23, 2011 I am listening to Marmalade this morning but they just did a cover of a song by these guys so I thought I would share the group with y'all: Â http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyIW_tnF4oM&feature=related Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted August 24, 2011 What do I know I'm a Brit ... its all folk music to me. Â Hehehe. Â Well, y'all did produce the Beatles and Ringo did do one Country Album. Â Actually, if you go back to the early 1900s in America most country music sounded like the music from the Isles. Heavy with the Irish, of course, but folk music none-the-less.

Marblehead Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) When I was a kid I lived for a bit in the states and I remember this: Â I was very, very young. Â So country music is in my soul after all . Â Yea!!! Â Yeah, that song was recorded by many different artists. And yes, I remember it well. I had to do a search on it. Here is what I found from Wiki: Â "I'm an Old Cow Hand (from the Rio Grande)" is a comic song written by Johnny Mercer for the film "Rhythm on the Range" and sung by its star, Bing Crosby. The Crosby recording with Jimmy Dorsey and his Orchestra was a hit in 1936. Â That kind of song normally goes into a separate category called "Cowboy Songs". They are one of the roots of Country Music that evolved during the 1940s. Edited August 24, 2011 by Marblehead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zerostao Posted August 24, 2011 i kinda liked that "old timey" amy lee that ralis posted. to see her , i mean hear her sing as she is stretched out on a grand piano... i reckon "old timey" means different things to different folks. i have posted some ragtime blues, for me this next one is old timey i remember those old times when america had factories Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted August 24, 2011 Yeah, the first two are classics. Â The last one, well, yeah, a good song. I haven't given the Headhunters as much attention as perhaps I should. Maybe one day during the winter when I have nothing to do. Â I'm listening to Hank Locklin right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Yes, beautiful song, exceptionally well performed, and yes, Dorthy was very lovely. Â But hey!, I have a full head of hair (pretty much a full face of hair too) but when I cut it I buzz everything from the neck up. Much easier to take care of that way.

Mendelssohn Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) I am trying to learn Felix Mendelssohn's Prelude and Fugue in e minor, op. 35 no. 1. (just the fugue half for now). One of my favourite pieces. Very beautiful and intense =). Â There aren't really any good versions on youtube. I have better one's on CDs, but this one is alright: Â Edited August 24, 2011 by Mendelssohn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted August 25, 2011 Yep. I have a fair collection of both Jim And Jefferson. Â Sad thought entered my mind though: The loss of Jim, Jimi & Janis. Â I'm still listening to Old Time Country. Hank Snow right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zerostao Posted August 25, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjWAHX2jsk4 i reckon the new guys still play the old time country. it just doesnt get played on 98.1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted August 25, 2011 i reckon the new guys still play the old time country. it just doesnt get played on 98.1 Â I don't know Wayne but just from listening to "Summertime" I would think that that band could play some really great Dixieland music. Â True, don't hear much Old Time Coutry or Bluegrass on the country stations any more. Â I am listening the the First Hank (Williams) now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
