And what is now an old favorite

 

[pinball1970]

Sigor Ros.

 

[pinball1970]

That's a lot of chords, and some tricky ones (for me), like G7(b13).
I almost never go into those harmonies; on keyboard and guitar I usually stick to major, minor, sus chords and occasionally 7 chords.

My friend sent me a fun Christmas clip recently...
...here's a guy who obviously is a great player (jazz, I guess) and would easily wipe the floor with me...

Just on that, you can learn a shape on guitar and that will give you all the other keys.
I couldn't do that on piano l, I learned notes first.

Anyway, a good 13th?

What is and never should be- led zep.

A13 E9

And if I say to you tomorrow..............…........Take my hand child

 

[Ivan Seeking]

She came in and started this song.... I wish I could tell the story that goes with this. It was the most memorable Christmas of my life.

I LOVE Romany Gilmour. She reminds me a lot of her father.



Like velvet...

Jean Michel Jarre has a very, very special place for me

Brilliant and unique.

We're in good company :

A number of famous artists express the importance of Jean Michel Jarre to them in this clip:
(e.g. Air, Vince Clark (Depeche Mode, Yazoo), M83, Gary Numan, Moby etc.)

I'm trying to be objective, do I like these songs because they are great or is it because they remind me of being 14?
I think hand on heart they are great!

I'm leaning toward great. Strong groove, nice tone and chords and lyrics.

Who invented this style? The Byrds maybe. Hard to say.

 

[Hornbein]

Jazz! In 1980s pop charts, yes. These were great players and writers.





@DennisN Did you like any of these? Even listening now 40 years later I know it was those scrunchie chords grabbed my ear.

Nice as you can get. Isn't that Tiger Woods there on the right? About time he gave up computer games and broadened his horizons.

This reminds me of a joke. The audience requests Melancholy Baby. The singer whispers to the piano player I don't know it. He whispers back, I'll help you out. When they get to the melody he calls out "G minor seven flat five."

In the right place it is beautiful.
"Do you know the way to San Jose," has it then to the Maj7.

Sigor Ros.

That's a guy?

 

[Hornbein]

This originally a hit with a software robot singing the melody. With this and many other tunes she became the first software superstar, unless you count Laura Croft. But these humans do a better job with this one.

By the way these are about as typical of Japanese faces as you're ever going to find. The both have the J teeth.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

I love this song by Árstíðir (Icelandic Folk Band). It is simple but sweet.

I'm madly in love with Kristen Bell so I like everything she does.


She needs to lose Dax and give me a call. She is so damn cute in this video they made on their trip to Africa.

 

[Hornbein]

The Indonesian Queen playing Friends But Friendly



Bali women would never do this. This band must be from Jakarta. In the 1700's Jakarta might have been the most sex-oriented society ever before the Dutch suppressed it. The eyewitness accounts are hard to believe.

 

[pinball1970]

That's a guy?

Yeah, Falsetto

Who remembers The Singing Nun? This song topped the charts in a number of countries.

Yeah she cropped up before on another thread.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

This makes me sad. She is gone and he is the only one of the Gibbs left.

[pinball1970]

I dont know her, ill have to check it out

She was a child prodigy. This is one of her performances when she was 11 years old!
A must see!

Beautiful. I don't think she sang it?

 

[pinball1970]

Timeless

The version I know.

Google said she did sing it!

 

[Ivan Seeking]

IMO, some of the best scenes from one of the best movies ever made. But you have to watch it all to fully appreciate this artistic endeavor.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

The final scene is brilliant!

A one-hit wonder from 1967 - Blues Magoos, We Ain't Got Nothin' Yet

The Blues Magoos are an American rock group from The Bronx, a borough of New York City, United States. They were at the forefront of the psychedelic music trend, beginning in 1966. They are best known for the hit song "(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet", their only single to reach the Billboard top fifty.
