Jim Gilchrist Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Sure, Elvis died today. So did Robert Johnson. Thanks to Eric Clapton for trying to keep Robert Johnson's legend alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Wexler Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Jack Bruce seems to be having to concentrate on his (amazing) bass playing a lot more than I remember his style... I guess it is part of being a little bit older. Still a great group, Cream, quite an incredible sound for a 3 person group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al mcguire Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8odlwI94uFA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvest_(Neil_Young_album) Recording[edit] "The Needle and the Damage Done" was taken from a live performance at UCLA on 30 January. The recording of the remainder of Harvest was notable for the spontaneous and serendipitous way it came together. The story is told in an article in Acoustic Guitar Magazine, which includes interviews with the producer, Elliot Mazer, among others.[6] Young arrived in Nashville in early February 1971 to perform on a broadcast of Johnny Cash Show where Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor would also appear. Mazer had opened Quadrafonic Sound Studios in Nashville, and invited Young to dinner (or breakfast according to another Mazer interview[7]) on Saturday, 6 February, to convince him to record his next project at the studio. Neil admired the work of the local studio musicians known as Area Code 615 who had recorded there and was interested. Young had a batch of new songs that he had been performing on the road, as seen by the repertoire on Live at Massey Hall 1971, and told Mazer that all he needed was a bassist, drummer, and pedal steel guitarist. Young made the decision to start recording that very evening. Since many of the Area Code 615 musicians were working on a Saturday night, Mazer scrambled to find drummer Kenny Buttrey, bassist Tim Drummond (who was just walking down the street), and steel-guitarist Ben Keith. That night, they laid down the basic tracks for "Old Man", "Bad Fog of Loneliness", and "Dance Dance Dance". This version of "Bad Fog" was unreleased until its appearance on The Archives Vol. 1 1963-1972. "Dance Dance Dance" was also left off the album but had already appeared on the debut Crazy Horse album. According to liner notes in Archives Volume 1, "Heart of Gold" was not recorded until Monday, February 8. However, other sources reported that after taping the Johnny Cash Show on the evening of Sunday 7 February, Young invited Ronstadt and Taylor to come back to the studio with him. The three sat on a couch and recorded the background vocals for "Heart of Gold" and "Old Man." Taylor picked up Young's banjo guitar (a six-string banjo tuned like a guitar) and overdubbed a part for the latter song. "A Man Needs a Maid" and "There's a World" were recorded by Jack Nitzsche with the London Symphony Orchestra in early March in the wake of Young's appearance on the BBC and concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London. "Out on the Weekend", "Harvest" and "Journey Through the Past", along with overdubs by the session musicians James McMahon (piano on "Old Man"), John Harris (piano on "Harvest"), and Teddy Irwin (second acoustic guitar on "Heart of Gold"), were recorded in another session at Quadrafonic in April. The electric-based songs were recorded in a barn at Young's ranch in California in September. Using a remote recording system, Mazer set up PA speakers in the barn for monitors rather than have the players wear headphones. This resulted in a lot of "leakage" as each microphone picked up sound from other instruments, but Young and Mazer liked the resulting sound. "Are You Ready for the Country", "Alabama", and "Words" were recorded in these sessions with Buttrey, Drummond, Keith, along with Nitzsche on piano and lap steel. Young named this band, which would accompany him on his tour in the winter of 1973, The Stray Gators. Background vocals by Crosby, Stills & Nash were later recorded by Mazer in New York. Mixing was done both at Quadrafonic and at Young's house. During playback at the ranch, Mazer ran the left channel into the PA speakers still in the barn and the right channel into speakers in the house. With Crosby and Nash beside him Young sat outside listening to the mix. When asked about the stereo balance, he called out, "More barn." According to a Rolling Stone interview, Young had wanted the album sleeve to biodegrade after the shrink-wrap was broken, but was overruled by the record company on the basis of expense and the possible product loss due to shipping accidents.[citation needed]. Mo Ostin mentioned Young's request at the 22nd annual ASCAP pop music awards [8] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VASI Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 I met May Roosevelt (Maria Pseutonga original name) in her house two years ago. It was an interview/assignment for my college. It wasn't easy to close this interview because May does not give interviews (only three four interviews in the media so far). The time to improve my diplomacy skills and tell the true has come. "May, this interview will be between you, me and my teacher. Will never be going to published in media." Hard 15 minutes on the phone with the lowest level voice I ever heard so far. "Ok Vasileios. Where and what time?". She offered me a cup of tea and we started the interview. And the latest work with Dinos Christianopoulos poems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VASI Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 The soft air reaps the barley. A fresh, but noticeable well smell soft air passing from window to window with a light movement from curtains. With a good friends or with your wife or alone. You don't give attention in these little moments, but if you give attention will put a smile upon your face. That's what I call life.
