In jazz it's the same with the great solists like Bird Parker and John Coltrane. It's dense, and repays sitting down and closing your eyes and doing nothing but absorbing. I think so, anyway.<BR/>It's been a long tme since I've listened to a lot of Jimi Hendrix, but I suspect he's in that same ballpark - except with Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell along, you can also absorb the music right through your skin as you dance your feet off.There is often a dichotomy between the head and the feelings, but, in this case, it's not real.Christopher Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03040506750850825847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046376.post-1151177709712642202006-06-24T14:35:00.000-05:002006-06-24T14:35:00.000-05:00YOu Paula, it's nice to know I'm normal (stifle la...YOu Paula, it's nice to know I'm normal (stifle laughter now) and that I can think a guys great, but then he does one thing and instantly you know you'd kill him if you had to date him regularlyNo Longer Here - see My Own Lamp Posthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431548223359360956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046376.post-1151117930729815952006-06-23T21:58:00.000-05:002006-06-23T21:58:00.000-05:00I feel like "picking fruit"!YEAHHHH!!!!......Boogi...I feel like "picking fruit"!<BR/><BR/>YEAHHHH!!!!......Boogie Down!!Born to be Transformedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908762877062498588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046376.post-1151088143260579662006-06-23T13:42:00.000-05:002006-06-23T13:42:00.000-05:00Alright, I was funning with the no dance thing abo...Alright, I was funning with the no dance thing above.

It was my wife, my sister and myself.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately I was disappointed with the cigarette butts that were littered around his headstone --leaving trash is not a fitting way to honor someone.<BR/><BR/>I am glad I went, and visiting his gravesite seemed to be a catalyst for wanting to hear more Hendrix --up to that point I was okay with just hearing him on the radio or whatever.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Spoke's comment reminded me of a couple of things:<BR/><BR/>the line from the Vandal's song about the Vandal's playing at someone's house: "war declared on furniture ... they thot that it was cool, so they threw me in the pool, the sofa musta missed me, because now it's in here with me."<BR/><BR/>i also remember jumping off of my parent's couch listening to Ted Nugent.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Paula, you Spoke and Meadow ARE allowed to dance at our house... we are pretty free about that sort of thing.layne (herman)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01641768245607761081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046376.post-1150736049487053992006-06-19T11:54:00.000-05:002006-06-19T11:54:00.000-05:00Being an older human, I've seen many bands do show...Being an older human, I've seen many bands do shows in bigger type venues.The Who,Queen,The Police, Ozzy,Bowie,Kiss...I never understood why big venue gigs, as impersonal as they are, never allowed you to dance. I was at an AC/DC gig (insert laughter) years ago and was almost removed for dancing around on the floor. It was seen as "getting out of control".<BR/>The same thing happened in Seattle at a Who gig. No dancing.<BR/>Then I meet Pj, go to gigs in bars and dance my butt off. Maybe "David" is in charge of all the big venues in North America.<BR/>Maybe your mom was right...dancing leads to rioting, sex and broken living room furniture. David may be on the mark here. No distractions.I think I'm gonna put my foot down at home. No more dancing! From now on, Roots Roundup can only be heard while sitting upright. Same goes for Soul Junk. No more moshing to Handel either...Spokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06417910816242867147noreply@blogger.com
