Jim Gilchrist Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 On my radio this morning, Dave Alvin and the Guilty Ones performing "4th of July." Not a patriotic tune but at least appropriately titled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Great song Jim. Dave was playing in this band as you well know when they wrote 4th of July, one of LA's great bands X. This is how it's done west coast original style. Happy 4th to all. CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Gilchrist Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Crew, I'm pretty sure everything Dave Alvin does is West Coast style, his being from LA County and all. It is a great song and the Blasters, X and the Knitters are all American musical icons. The Guilty Ones/Women/Men, Alvin's current band (the name depending on the lineup} is one of the tightest bands around. Happy 4th to all!

old school Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I agree Jim. Love all the bands you mentioned. I've seen X 1/2 a dozen times. Seen the Blasters more than that. I worked with them on a film in 83? called "Streets of Fire". They were the house band in the film for the bad guys, The Bombers. Got to hang with them a bit. Good heads. But the band from LA i've seen the most is East Los's own Los Lobos. Here is another American song I love. CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I completely forgot they were the band in "Streets of Fire" --- seems like ancient history at this time. What was that, 1983 or 1984 maybe, with Jim Webb, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Yep 1st film I worked with Jim. I tried to post a video of them playing in the film but it is blocked. This is the Blasters cover of Little Willie Johns "I'm Shaking". Also covered by Jack White recently. CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I hate the whole blocking thing... so arbitrary in their efforts to protect copywrited material. I have made a little videos that use popular songs but original images and often these are blocked by YouTube or Vimeo at the "request" of the music label.

John Steigerwald Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 This one swung through on the random playlist today. Quite possibly one of the best live piano solos ever by the late Kenny Kirkland. Link is to just prior to the solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VASI Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 A little different. I think the top moment and achieving (at least for me) for a sound engineer is to be the sound engineer for Berliner Philharmoniken, New York Philharmonic etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Gilchrist Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Parkinson's disease has taken Linda Ronstadt's ability to sing, a real shame. I met Ms. Ronstadt just before the peak of her fame as what music writer Gerri Hirshey called "the first arena-class rock diva" and was struck by her shyness and humility more so than her voice. She covered the bases musically, singing everything from folk and traditional Mexican music to the great American standards and musical theatre. She retired in 2011 but it's still sad news. Her cover of "Heat Wave" is always on my radio. Just a great band, Waddy Wachtel and Andrew Gold on guitars and backing vocals, I think Stone Poney Kenny Edwards on bass and backing vocal. Not sure who's drumming. I loaded this band in and out and worked many of their shows in the early to mid 1970's. Best regards, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al mcguire Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Great record. After the touring Bruce moved to Nashville and worked as a songwriter. Very quiet low key soft spoken man. He told me that when "hey baby" was taking off he was still working for the parks department of the town he lived in Texas. He wasn't sure he wanted to give up the steady work.
