  1. What does that sign mean? LSU? Love Stinkin Undies? Gee, you had to put that poor pooch's pic in your profile. Did he/she have any say in the matter?

    for a minute you had me thinking I was finally going to see what you look like. Im always curious. But I respect the privacy of those who would prefer not to . Some interesting posts tonight.

    privacy :hysterical: I think that is a thing of the past knowing and seeing what I have although not really invited to this info. My grand mother told me once that a secret is no longer a secret when TWO people know about it lol :lol:

  3. We can't have you two Russian speaking people passing notes during class...if something has to be said let us all hear it. :lol::lol:

    Only joking. Great to have such a diverse community on here. :)

    And it annoys me that most foreigners can speak good English yet few English people can't speak anything but English. haha! :lol:

    :beer: " Laissez Le Bon Temps Rouler" :drunk:

  4. That "guy" is none other than Jake Shimabukuro, a very talented artist who can often be found touring in Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band (as well as opening some of his shows). He also contributes a spellbounding version of Stars & Stripes Forever to the very excellent Song of America compilation that was released last year which also includes the Black Crowes, Marah, Old Crow Medicine Show, the Del McCoury Band, Bettye Lavette and tons of others.

    Yes Jake is very talented, didn't know he was huge celeb. didn't mean to sound so impersonal with the "guy" thing. Maybe I'll have chance to catch his performance, Jimmy has a club in the Quarters :thumbsup: .

  5. I love the Beatles. And in my opinion they are not better than Zeppelin-no way. After the Beatles split I liked Harrison's material the best. Didnt care much for Lennon's solo stuff with a few exceptions. And McCartney was just too top 40 for me. I loved what Harrison did. Not to forget Ringo, he had a couple of hits, but Id rate him last. I must also say that I never liked the white album.

    You ever see this vid of While my guitar gently weeps

    guy plays it on a ukelele= Great!

    If there is a band that I love as much as Led Zeppelin, it is the Allman Brothers Band. I think that Duane Allman is the most underrated guitarist- part of the magic of discovering them was finding out just how good he was and yet I'd never really heard of him before. Besides being a world class finger style soloist, he was absolutely the greatest slide guitarist who ever lived- the Jimi Hendrix of slide.

    I plan on posting a link to an Allman Brothers video once a week or so- this is one of the greatest live bands ever, after all. I'm going to start with the video that was played at their Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony. All the stuff at the beginning was added by somebody, but by the time it says ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND macon georgia that's what it is. This video was made with two different films of Duane Allman (the only ones of decent quality that are known to exist), plus clips from other eras and still photos. A good intro for someone who doesn't know the band too well, and just a plain cool vid for those who do:

    As many of you will know, this lineup up of the band was tragically short lived, with Duane and Bassist Berry Oakley dying in eerily similar motorcycle crashes in 71 and 72. But the band had their greatest chart success in 73, and since 1989 have been featuring musicians of the highest quality to fill Duane and Berry's shoes. To hold down a chair in the ABB is to be one of the very best- they don't care how you look or act, just if you can play, play, play.

    This collage features a picture of every ABB guitarist from 1969 to the present. If you don't know who any of these guys are, come to this thread and find out! Each one of them is a virtuoso of the highest caliber.

    I've seen the band play live over 20 times since 1994 with different lineups. And I can tell you this- each one of them the set list was completely different, and each time the show was completely different- always good, sometimes stellar! Just what I love about Led Zeppelin live.

    So who else out there loves the Brothers? Stop by the thread and eat a peach!
