Chuck Mangione Feels So Good From 1978

2009-12-14T15:56:00.000-08:00

Flash back to 1978 when all you city folks were walking down the street in corduroy jeans, multi colored, butter fly collar shirts, by pay phones that used to only cost a dime. When you get back to your car, which you have to manually unlock and open, you turn over the key.
The radio comes on before the engine starts and
Chuck Mangione's "Feels So Good" is already playing. That was 32 years ago...

Lightnin' Hopkins On Youtube

2009-12-04T11:15:00.000-08:00

Born in Centerville, Texas, Hopkins' childhood was immersed in the sounds of the blues and he developed a deeper appreciation at the age of 8 when he met Blind Lemon Jefferson at a church picnic in Buffalo, Texas. That day, Hopkins felt the blues was "in him" and went on to learn from his older (somewhat distant) cousin, country blues singer Alger "Texas" Alexander...(more from Wiki article)

Domestic Violence Is The Cornerstone Of The Blues

2009-11-25T13:14:00.000-08:00

"The issue of domestic violence is to be added to the school timetable in England. But head teachers say schools are being asked to solve all of society's problems..."
(continue BBC article)

They could pay them teachers extra, for starters...

Hmmm...that is an important issue to be thinking about during the holidays. Maybe here in America we can look across the pond and realize what we need to be aware of. Especially during the holiday seasons when people are already stressed out.

Speaking of stressed out, you should hear this man wailin' away. It might be better to sing the blues than to wind up a domestic violence criminal. Lord knows that much is true.
Y'all hang in there this holiday season, ya hear?!
Ok?

There's No Sheriff In Netsville: Love Vs Fashion On Twitter

Well, apparently...some folks don't feel that way. Some folks like to feel bad and then post their feelings on the internet. They often share their bad thoughts about other people. The problem is that, sometimes, those people sue the pants of that first person for slander! And then some lawyer makes a million dollars!

Pirate Radio To Rescue Us From Hi Tech Music?

2009-11-13T13:56:00.000-08:00

Hey everybody? How are you doing today? Good? Have you heard about Pirate Radio? I'm talking about the new movie.

Director: Richard Curtis
Producer: Tim Bevan, Eric Fellnar, Hilary Bevan Jones, and Richard Curtis
Written By: Richard Curtis
Starring: Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy, Rhys Ifans, Nick Frost and Kenneth Branagh

Looks like a good cast. I hear it has a great sound track, too.
Speaking of music...
The radio stations these days play a lot of computerized music. All that kind of music is music that didn't have to be learned by anyone. It plays on command. At the press of a button. It's more art than music, these days. And constantly on display. And the young DJ's who do this kind of artful expression have made a huge money market for themselves. Good for them. Mean while...I hear the youngsters are starting to crave real music again. And when that starts to kick in to gear...oh what a wonderful world it will be...again!

Lakers Great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Has Leukemia

2009-11-10T14:00:00.000-08:00

Say it aint so! Not Kareem! Do you remember this great basketball player? Here's a refresher from Wikipedia:
"Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is an American retired basketball player. During his 20-year professional career in the NBA, from 1969 to 1989, he scored the highest points total of any player in league history (38,387), in addition to winning a record six Most Valuable Player Awards and six NBA championships." (More from Wiki)

The "skyhook" was his famous shot. At 7 ft 2inches tall, he could almost drop the ball into the hoop over his opponents. I hope his doctors don't drop the ball on him.
Good luck Kareem!

Blues Legend: Muddy Waters

2009-11-06T15:30:00.000-08:00

I figure since it's the rainy season I'd bring up blues guitar legend Muddy Waters. Why? Oh, I'm sure there are plenty of reasons. But one good reason to bring up this particular artist...his music.

Waters grew up in the cotton country of Mississippi and taught himself to play harmonica as a child. He took up the guitar somewhat later and eagerly absorbed the classic delta blues styles of Robert Johnson, Son House, and others. He gradually evolved a style of his own, aggressive and less purely lyrical, and won a reputation as a worthy successor to the legendary generation of bluesmen...(continue reading)

Yeah, he sure got his name around. Almost everybody knows his name.
Just think about all the blues legends we don't know about, though...

If you have land, put down another zero. Family, land - what more could you want? Well, if you've got a good reputation, put down another zero. You got it all.

And that's what I love to do. I do enjoy all the smiling faces in a crowd. To know that there is music attached to those smiles just brings my heart up to a high C sharp! Fans keep music alive, ya know? And there is some gossip travelin' around Netsville about a particular fan. So I checked it out myself. And you should have seen the smile on my face.
She goes by the name of Super Fan 2009. Maybe it means something. I'm not too sure. But what I do know is that I spent an entire afternoon downloading free mp3's from her many lists of tunes.

Sarah P. gives me the Heebie Jeebies...

Hey there everybody!

Have you heard the news about the vice presidential candidate for the republicans? Well there she is. Aint she lovely?She looks different without her glasses on, now don't she? What a fine choice of fashion wear she has made for herself, too. I hear it's cold where she lives and probably spends a lot of the states money keeping her self warm. Which makes sense if you were born with the body temperature of a reptile. That's ok. I'm sure she won't have to change her dress code anytime soon. I don't think she is going anywhere but back home to Wasilla, Alaska this coming NOvember. Anyway, let me get to the point I was intending to make, here on line, while I have your attention. It seems that Ms. Palin is terrifying a lot of American people. That might make her a virtual terrorist, I 'm not too sure. But what I do know is that Obama is not threatening anybody at all. You see, what Ms. Palin is giving us is the Heebie Jeebies. It's a symptom of a disease that some folks are just born with. Especially in American politics. The Heebie Jeebies feels like someone has emptied all of your closet nightmares into your pillow case. Then as you sleep they crawl in a single file line right into your ear hole! Aint that creepy?! I get the shakes just thinking about it! Well to remedy this particular feeling I composed an antidote. Because that's what I do as a musician.

So here ya go ladies and gentlemen...

Nina Simone

Hello! How you doin' today?!
Good?
Good...

That lovely lady is Nina Simone. A piano playing singer/song writer type of gal. Look at her...aint she wonderful already?! I think so, too. And you aint even heard nothin' yet. Nina Simone has a history that is simply marvelous. She started recording back in 1958 and didn't stop until the 80's. She has a reputation for not being particulary attached to a certain style or genre of music. So talented is she that even when listening to her version of "Strange Fruit", one can almost imagine a ray of hope and sunshine in her voice.Put your seatbelt on when you listen to that song, by the way. That song is devasting to behold. It was originally a Billy Holiday classic, as I recall.

Nina Simones most famous recording, I think, was when she did Gershwins " I loves you Porgy" from the Porgy and Bess soundtrack. Anyway...I could go on forever about Nina Simone!
So I'll stop right here and maybe continue this later on...

Hurri-McCain

Hey everybody, how ya doin?
Good?

I think that if you are a democrat, you would be feelin' good right about now. Especially after last weeks speech by our president to be, Obama. I was almost cryin' tears of joy, when I heard him speak last Thursday. America has been waiting 232 years to hear that speech from a presidential candidate. Even here in Netsville I would say that I almost had a 400MB tear count, which is a lot of virtual water to be pixelatin' about.

Well...speaking of water...New Orleans is getting ready for Hurricane Gustav to show up. And we New Orlean natives know a little somethin' about that, as you may probably understand. The newspapers are reminding us about that particular fact. Here is part of an article I found from way over in San Francisco's on line news service:

"McCain, his wife Cindy, and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, toured the emergency management center in Mississippi, a state that could be hit hard by the approaching hurricane.

The Bush White House and Republicans in general are still shadowed by criticism of their handling of relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans and parts of the Mississippi Gulf Coast three years ago. Party leaders fear that televised scenes of celebrations and partying at the convention could subject them to similar criticism now."

Looks like the hurricane don't want McCain, huh? McCain didn't plan on THIS, now did he. And so it looks like the republicans are gonna have to experience a little karmic responsibility, as they have to post pone their coven meeting.

Meanwhile, this song is already runnin' through the good folks minds about LAST hurricane.

Hey everybody!

How y'all doin' today?

Good?

I was readin' this here article that I found on the googly web. It made me look in the mirror with a thought that has never crossed my mind before , as a man. And remember, I'm not even alive, technically. But regardless of my virtuality, there I was...staring over my shoulder wondering about my own backside! How many times have you heard a woman ask you about the shape and the weight of theirs? And how important it is to them and how RIDICULOUS it sounds to you.

To turn around and read an article about, now this is what it says....you ready for this? Butt pads! For men!

Some lady in Indianna told her husband that he is, uh...lacking in the back pocket area. Not the usual wallet biz, but the actual shape of that area! And you know what he did? He went out and bought himself a new ass! S' cuse me for such indecency, but THIS is what you people of 2008 are throwin' on the proverbial pile, round here!

(sigh)

Here is a quote from the article...

" At Butt For You, Christman says, 17,ooo butt pads were sold last year, a 39.4 percent increase over 2006. The customer base is 85 percent male. "

Hey y'all, how ya doin' today?

Good, I hope.

Seems to me that if you are trying to gather some good tid bits of information, the pickins is gettin' kinda slim. Now don't let yourself get all hot and bothered with bad news. You know it aint never gonna leave, right? You know that don't cha? That's why some of us have to go searchin' for ourselves for some good news out there. I found some today at www.sfgate.com.

Yessiree, I got to readin' about the olympic games and found out some things that made me feel good about myself and my fellow country men. And especially women.

Ms. Natalie Coughlin. Such a pretty name, too. She has done somethin' special for us all to remember for the rest of our lives. Two gold medals in a row. Two! I figure if she wins three she could have a new set of gold trumpet valves! That would really excite me. Aint this news some kind of wonderful? Don't you just want it to last forever? Especially when you got some other folks talkin' about other things that aint so good. Like a big old mighty powerful country invading a tiny little insignificant, powerless country. No, no, no...I aint talkin' about us and the middle east. That's old news. I'm talkin' about what's his name, the soon to be ex president of the united states. The way he 's talkin' about Russia makes you wonder if he sees what he is doin his own self, huh?

So that's why it's best to keep searchin' for some good news, here in Netsville. And when you find some, it makes you want to look for some more. So when you read about Natalie Coughlin,

keep searchin'. I bet you'll find somethin' on Michael Phelps, too. So far, all these sports in the water are being dominated by American swimmers. I can't wait to have a president worthy of delivering speeches to depict this national pride. I guess you could say it 'll be like water for chocolate...

Here's that Natalie Coughlin news article.

So some of us pooled our pennies (from heaven) together and got you a gift so that you can gradually enter the world of advanced techno freaks.

Slowly and surely, as you sit for the next four years with nothing to do, you will be able to acclimate to the climate of modern technology...or maybe underwater basket weaving...

Hello everybody! How are y'all doin today?

Good I hope.

I wish I could say that for Amy Winehouse and her husband.

Now, first of all, she is a very talented, grammy award winning, singer from the UK. Beautiful voice, I tell ya...
I youtubed a video of her not too long ago and I must say that she is also what we would call the cat's meow.

Now...the problem with being young, beautiful, rich and talented is that your personal life may experience a bit of
exploitation. That's show biz. If Amy lives ALL the way in England and we know about her husbands assault and battery jail sentence here, then you what I'm talking about.

Nothing is a secret when you become famous.
I would know. Did you know people think I smoke the marijuana plant? It's not true. I mean it might have been when I was alive, but I have been clean since I reappeared in Netsville. I must say that since I have been off the sauce, my memory has been a little less foggier.

Anyway...
Getting back to Ms Winehouse...I wonder if she ever sung a sing like this when she was younger...
Here is a little number I found in Netsville called
'dear mr. and ms. troublemaker'

Hey Everybody! How y'all doin out there? It's Always nice here in Netsville. What? What did you just say?

Gas prices? Well I have no idea what that could mean, ya see...I'm inside the computer. I can travel as fast as a beam of sunshine if I wanted to. For free. But hold on a minute...lemme take look here...oh lordy...now I see what you're talkin' about. The gas prices seem to be rather unpleasant to look at. I can't remember ever havin' to spend THAT much money on it in my day.What kind of car needs THAT much gas, anyway?

The only car I ever really liked was when it was attached to a locomotive. You know they got one in Indianpolis that they made for little old me? Aint that sweet? My own locomotive!

Well...I guess that's what folks are gonna be doin' more often. Until they find out how to roll out the barrel for less. Oh that reminds me...I gotta little number that might be close

to how y'all might feel right about now. It's a tune that those nice people at muzic.com have up on their website.

It's called -Yes I'm in the Barrel-

Enjoy when you can...

Hello everybody! How are you doing today? I was just reading about the new presidential race.
America is gettin' ready for a very exciting moment in history.

Obama and McCain are already telling us their different opinions on what this country needs. The debates are starting to get serious and some of us are getting delirious! There is SO much to talk about now. The WAR is one. The ECONOMY is another. The FUEL situation is in dire need of SOME kinda change. Between all of these things that everyone is calling VERY important...I start to feel dizzy.

(I know what you mean Louis!)

It reminds me of a song I did a long time ago. A song about that particular moment when you just can't decide what exactly the best choice is. Because EVERYBODY got somethin' to say about EVERYTHING in their own way.
Sometimes I would say...with a big old smile...

Let's call the whole thing off!

Really?!

Hello Dolly! I heard we gonna have Americas FIRST BLACK president!!
Well goodness gracious, I do declare...that is the BEST news I've heard since I
been back...yes indeedy!

Oh what a joy, what a JOY to be back in the swing O' things. Somebody has put one of my public domain songs on the internet! Now I can get back to what I was doin' back in 1938 when I wrote this little number : -play me-

Oh...

The sweet music...

So much to say, so much to say...and NOW I got all the time in the virtual world to say it! AND for us old timers...we got the mighty Google. Ah yes siree...when ever I need to know something, I just go to the mighty Google and ask it what ever I wanna know. And it always tells me what I was askin' about. Sometimes even more. It's what I always wished I had back when I was traveling SO much. I'm surprised that folks still go to school these days. With people runnin' round so busy tryin' to get things done. Hustlin' and bustlin'. Barely makin' time for themselves to enjoy the luxuries of sweet life. And if ya askin' me...I will always say it's the sweet sound of music. So bless muzic.com for playin' my song for all the wonderful children, mommies and daddies to enjoy. For FREE!

Now don't pay me no mind about that school thing I had

just mentioned. I know that it's important for the children to go to school.
To understand what it's going to be like in the future...ya oughtta have some education in your past. The great thing about school is the music programs.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aint it sweet to go to school and pick up a horn and play somethin' all nice and romantic for your school sweetheart? It's better than what some of the riff raff is doin at lunchtime. Don't even wanna think about THAT stuff.

I'd rather think about music. That is what is so wonderful about this country, America...the music that they offer in the schools to all the children that wanna grow up and play like their uncle Satchmo!!
