Mean song, and Weir sang it well.

"The Dead performed “Sugar Magnolia” more than 600 times, and with good reason. Co-written with longtime Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, it’s a sunny tribute that Weir penned for his girlfriend Frankie, whom he lived with in the early Seventies. (“Takes the wheel when I’m seeing double/Pays my...

Organist McKernan was audible in the early Dead music, but, when they changed style after their first album, yes, organ and afterwards piano were more subdued in all their music. McKernan didn't do solos ever that I heard, but I like the Dead music best from those very early years with his...

Not sure if that's Odysseus. I'll check the back of the album cover and let you know if I find anything. Wiki online doesn't say. That whole Zombies album is good, good voices, nice piano, instrument mix, rock/pop band. Trumpets remind me of Beatles too. "Time of the Season" is also on that...

Always liked this song, especially at the start of a new year, so positive. Rod Argent (8) :-)

Yes' Rick Wakeman's arrangement of "extracts from Brahms, 4th Symphony in E Minor, Third Movement" from Yes' 4th album, in "which he plays electric piano taking the part of the strings, grand piano taking the part of the woodwind, organ taking the brass, electric harpsichord taking reeds, and...

Completely agree with you on Chris Squire. Tremendous. Never knew until now. Here's the opener song from their 2nd album with very prominent bass and organ. Strong organ and bass in albums 2 and 3, especially, I thought. Thank you to @Hornbein and @pinball1970 for the Yes album...

Thanks. Yes, I always tend to exaggerate. Also, thanks for the mesh strainer solution. The best solution! I have recently bought the most expensive ones at Ace Hardware in U.S. The all metal ones work pretty well for the bath/shower drain, but these I find work best: They have an...

Not sure what the bleach does, exactly, but someone recommended it to me one time, and I tried it. It worked OK, about like Drano works. OK, but not great. I really can't explain any 'double whammy' effect, though. It just sounded good. Well, I draw the line on augering, using the snake. I...

Every reply above to the OP question is excellent, I think, this last one especially for me. I have only been reading posts on this website for a short time, but, in strictly scientific terms, I think physicsforums.com is a real GEMSTONE. It is a full library of math and physical knowledge...

4 step sequence: 1. 2 quarts boiling water down the sink or tub drain. Boiling: 220 deg. F., not just hot. Softens up the clog. Then add 2. 2 cups (16 ounces) Drano (gel or liquid, commercial drain opener). Wait one full hour to let it work. Then add 3. 2 cups (16 ounces) bleach...

Great movie! Yes, I didn't know his history, either, or that he wrote so very many songs, so many popularized by others, or that he was part of the Stax backup studio band for other artist's recordings. Remember him with Pop Staples and Albert King on an album they made together. Memphis...
