Celebration of ordinary people was the foundation of the folk music scene. Guitarist Tommy Emmanuel is still like that.hutchphd said:Noel Paul Stuckey lived a few miles from me in Blue Hill, Maine and was a really active member of the community. A good friend and bookstore manager entertained Mary Travers for a reading and reported Travers to be remarkably friendly and unpretentious.
Small world. It is nice when your icons do not turn out to have feet of clay

This is hard to imagine being surrounded by the frenzy of a joyful crowd that all know the lyrics while the lead singer lays down facing the stars in Sao Paolo with #Coldplaylive 72m views and everyone wearing stars on their wrist. Mind you, it does remind me of the 1st US festival in Cali watching Police, Santana and 30 other bands for 3 days and nites with a half million others camped on the side of a mountain and 500 kW of perfect stereo audioHornbein said:That speech is by Charlie Chaplin shortly before his exile.

Cover of Diana Ross. That was a big hit when I was a kid near Detroit.
That choreography would never get on TV in 1966.
You shamin' me bro?pinball1970 said:Glee?
I like the original and if I heard this on the radio I would say it's ok but has no atmosphere to it. That 60s haze.
Glee though?
pinball1970 said:That was my first encounter with a 13th chord. Jazz!
The positions get tricky. A13 is all on second fret or you can bar on the fifth and fret the 6th giving you the 7th as well as you release A on the 7th fret. Some of the others though? b5th b9th +5th sus4/2 maj9th and combos of?Hornbein said:Jazz chords are really pretty simple. All you do is stack up notes with intervals of thirds. 1 3 5 7 9 11 13. It's pretty awkward on guitar though. That's one of the reasons I play keyboards.
If you are McCoy Tyner you stack up fourths, usually in some mode. 1 4 7 10 13.
Voicings, that I don't know yet. You can get pretty fancy results by playing a basic triad and adding some other note in the bass. Play a D triad, put a C in the bass, and you've got a 13th chord. Easy as pie on a keyboard.

Hornbein said:Here's the original of the popular cover by Blondie.
pinball1970 said:If we are looking at this style then this guy was the master. Introduced by Oscar Peterson, the best ever Jazz pianist? It's a version of "Ain't misbehaving," so still qualifies for the thread.
EDIT: The link helps.
Hornbein said:I like the harmonies here but the arrangement was pretty bad. Through the miracles of modern technology, if thy rhythm section offendeth thee, pluck it out.
pinball1970 said:I hated the Fugees version of this, with a passion.
Alyona is doing that version, from the 30 seconds I listened to. Even without the drums and what sounds like a sitar or something I still hate it.
Anyways….I always thought Roberta Flack did the original but it was actually Lori Lieberman who also co-wrote it the lyrics.
Hornbein said:According to Wikipedia the origin of Killing Me Softly is fraught with forty years of drama.
I too find the Fugees version intolerable. Alyona's version is very pretty but Lori's version more sincere with the arrangement very good. She doesn't have a hitmaker voice though. That's maybe 70% of a pop song. Without that you've got two strikes against you stepping up to the plate.
I really don't like affected mannered singers but the general public goes for it. Whatever. I just wish that They hadn't decided that groaning and gasping indicates soulful feeling.
To end on a positive note...
Hah! I didn't even notice.pinball1970 said:That something stupid version was very good and a nice touch at the end. A couple of bloopers.
It is simple, honest, a little bit hippy. Made me think of Joan Baez or Joni Mitchel.Hornbein said:She doesn't have a hitmaker voice though.

There are many covers of this, all of the same one minute Tik Tok length! I find that weird, but then again people do many things that I find weird.
pinball1970 said:This is not very good, it is out of her range, her tone is weird in places (probably due to the range) and the guitar solo is awful. Did he not learn vibrato? Could he have not changed to a strat for this?
You need the harmony too and she cuts it short.
However, she is doing Comfortably numb! For her! Why for her? Because she likes good music???
She has not messed with the key, how low does she go!? Sure it affects her tone but she is still doing it. Live.
This is my second MC, the first being Jolene.
pinball1970 said:From one of the best musicals ever this arrangement is played by one of the greatest drummers ever.
It's live too which is....cool.
pinball1970 said:These guys wrote it. The is OGWT and are usually live so I assumed it was.
I like this version too.
Argent did "Hold your head up." Rick Wakeman described the organ solo as the best he had ever heard.Hornbein said:Never heard this tune before. I like the Kiss version. It sounds a lot like Queen.
I recall an interview with a man who was offered the choice of producing Boston's first album or one by Kiss. He saw little room for improvement with Boston so he went for Kiss, where he felt needed.
