- what exotic fish I caught in the ocean of music -

Grand Funk Railroad - I’m Your Captain - Shea Stadium 1971

Great Mark Farner… and a great audience also …

Hi music lovers,

A few days ago Bonham sent me a PM to see if I was OK, because I haven’t been on the forum for ages.
That was very kind and thoughtful of him.
I am fine, and just realized that it has been a while since I had a look-in.
I reached a stage where I had bought enough flashlights, so didn’t spend all my time looking for advice and bargains on the forum, like I used to. I also had a few other things going on which kept me busy.
However, I do enjoy this thread, and posts about my favorite musos by guys like Bonham, RobertB and atbglenn to name a few.
So here I am…and as Steely Dan said “Back Jack, do it again”

I saw Australian band, Men at Work live in Sydney in 1983.
Many years later they were sued for copying the flute riff in “Down under” from a children’s song.
This had a devastating effect on them, and many say it caused the early death of flute player, Greg Ham

Thanks Robowski for this info…! I hadn’t heard this story before.
Found a comparison with children’s song:
Still, I’d never heard this nice song if Men at Work had not performed it. :slight_smile:

One more time Sir Bryan Ferry with Roxy Music:
Roxy Music - Love Is The Drug

Who cares, some of their early hits:
Roxy Music - Virginia Plain - Top Of The Pops - 24th August 1972

Roxy Music - Do the Strand

It’s Christmas time again… Some tunes …

Thanks Errol…

In that vein…

Some hot jazz

I believe in Father Christmas

Aaaa so that’s how it feel like exiting a car at 60 MPH

I think its safe to say you lose me :smiley:

Me too…

Maybe some of you remember that today it’s been 40 years since we left a great rock personality.
Of course, I mean Bon Scott.

There is a lot of information. For those who are interested - here is a one of the good sites:

40 years, OMG :weary:

Yes 40, but they pass so fast, believe me… :person_facepalming:

I checked on random sites for “top 100 hard rock songs” and more than 70% (approximately) of the songs are over 40 years old. If you add the next 10 years, you will reach almost 100 percent.

sparkyDK, вecause, you have a good sense of music according to my understanding, you should know that. :beer: :beer: :beer:

Some times you just “wish i was there”
