What is the Best Saxophone Song?

[turbo]

Kind of a cute video. For those who aren't familiar with Steve Vai, he is the guitarist that played for the devil in the movie Crossroads. Ry Cooder played Ralph Macchio's parts and Vai played his own.

This is one of my favourite songs, from their album "Takk" but this version is from the "Heima" DVD and the footage is great. I will retire to Iceland one day it's so beautiful.

Thanks Borek. It is much nicer to have the video displayed via PF in this thread rather than simply linking to YouTube as I had been doing.

And, thus, I will now seek out and display some tunes that I like and think others will enjoy. "The Best Songs Ever"? Well, it's a matter of taste. There's so much wonderful music out there that it's really hard to choose.

By the way, I think that this is the best thread on any website I've ever been to. Listening my way through it has been a joy of auditory discovery for me. (Did I phrase that correctly? Well, I think you probably know what I mean.) I've already heard lots of music that I really like and would probably never have heard if not for this thread, and I've only 'skimmed the surface' so far. (I'm going through it chronologically, from the beginning, as well as checking out the most recent stuff.) So I do hope that people will keep posting stuff that they like here.

Met James Brown in the late 60's in Cincinnati. He's a little guy. Wirey though. Gnarly face. Was drinking a huge glass of beer. Had a couple of (I guess) bodyguards with him. I said, "Hey, James Brown!" He said, "Hey!" I said, "Like your stuff." He said, "Thanks, glad you like it." Then I continued on my way.

The 60's was a very interesting time. Music was changing. The public consciousness was changing. I was in San Francisco for most of 1967 -- selling pot to make a living. :-) Never really got into smoking it though.

I love this song.

 

[Bararontok]

The song that will be posted here is brilliant! It captures the might of industrialization! Here is a soundtrack that would be most befitting for this site which is a glorious ode to progress!

Presenting Lindblum, the Industrial City:

Junior knows I like acoustic guitars and he showed me Ewan Dobson today:

And Antoine Dufour:

(there is some more guitars at http://www.youtube.com/user/rpoland...son are the most interesting, at least for me).

Crank it and play it over and over.



Boz opened the show for Fleetwood Mac in Boston. The Eagles closed it out. Neither came to Boz's musicianship. As a host and sponsor of open-mike jams for years, I always appreciated his energy, and tried to emulate it. If you're not having fun, is anyone else?

BTW, his vocalists are dancing "Badger, Badger, Badger! Do not screw with them! Big-legged women rule in "da bluze".

Cranberries - Ode to Family

"when I was young
And we didn’t give a damn
’cause we were raised
To see life as a fun and take it if we can"

And Jonell Mosser, just because the guy playing the chair just has a certain charisma about him:

(For the life of me, I can't remember who originally recorded this song.)

Vern Gosdin and Emmylou Harris - "If I Needed You"

[asterism]

And now it's time for Finnish music. Gap between these songs is 60 years. One is from old movie musical and another is parody. Nevertheless they are both good songs. You probably won't understand the lyrics, but I hope that doesn't ruin the experience.
This is Finlands greatest movie star Tauno Palo singing in musical SF-Paraati

And this is great song that slightly parodies Finnish music

Vern Gosdin and Emmylou Harris - "If I Needed You"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BRUC7d8JDA&feature=related

You mean Don Williams and Emmylou Harris?

Actually, Vern Gosdin has some songs that end as badly as root's Long Lost Pen Pal.

When it comes to songs so hokey, they become irresistible, nothing tops Marty Robbins. My favorite is Sundown.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rYBPJBtph8

See, I would have had an alternate ending to that song.

Sundown wasn't able to enjoy a drink after that gunfight, nor could he listen to preacher's eulogy over the dead. There was no happy ending with the girls of the night. Poor Sundown had to walk to the next town, for one of Bill's shots killed the bartender and a second shot took out the preacher. Bill's third shot took out the belle of the bar and the bullet from Bill's fourth shot went right through the brain of Sundown's horse. And poor Bill lay still in the dirt, felled by the sign that fell from Bill's fifth shot. And Sundown had to walk with a limp as Bill's gun went off when it hit the ground sending a bullet through poor Sundown's foot.
