misswonderly3 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Very nice. There's a Doris Day festival coming up July 27. I'd never heard of Maud Hixon. She has a distinctive style, very low key. Lovely singing, but no over-emoting. She seems to know her voice is an instrument for the song, not the other way around.

casablancalover Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 You said it exactly the way I was thinking of it. When she sings it, you feel the song, not the singer's vocal gyrations with the notes or tempo. As Nancy Nelson would say, "But wait. . .

misswonderly3 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 What a lovely jazz singer .And to think I'd never heard of her before. Today being Sunday, I thought those who couldn't wouldn't or didn't make it to their chosen house of worship could ruminate on the story of John the Baptist along with Neko Case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peHVjXcdzc4&feature=related (there were plenty of live versions of this, but I picked the album track -best sound quality, best version of the song.)

casablancalover Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 She's a local favorite here in Mpls/St Paul. I've seen her with the Wolverines Jazz Orchestra too. I do not receive AMC anymore (no cable-I suppose I shouldn't admit that here) but even my media room at the Apt I live doesn't either, so I missed Mad Men. Bummer.. I'm at an All Time Low. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9-0QYzYsz4 h5. You can run after a man, but don't catch him.

misswonderly3 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Blues, folk, and "roots" music -all good. Fascinating footage of LeadBelly. Tommy Johnson, "Canned Heat Blues". I love the way he makes his voice go way up in the chorus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayucqk6UkQI Also, great singing on this.

misswonderly3 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Harry Nilsson's stuff is always good. This is what I think of as a "Sunday" song, one of those contemplative tunes from Van Morrison. If you get tired of looking at Van you can close your eyes and meditate. Edited by: misswonderly on Aug 1, 2010 10:06 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misswonderly3 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Maybe casablancalover is on holidays. I'm not going to try and take her place, but I will post a song for her, and for everyone who posts music on this site: Add some music to your day. (don't know why the album cover disappears halfway through the song, but since it's more about listening than looking, I suppose it doesn't matter.)

DownGoesFrazier Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I have no youtube for you. Instead, a question....... Think of the late '60s: Psychedelia, Vietnam War protests, hippies, Woodstock..... What one song for you best exemplifies the era? Listening to it now brings it all rushing back........For me it is "Wooden Ships", Jefferson Airplane version preferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misswonderly3 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Well, I like to think I have a fairly in-depth knowledge of 60s music, but most of it was obtained retroactively. I was a kid during all the 60s stuff, so I didn't really pay much attention to the music at the time. It was when I got older that I realized how great a lot of that stuff was. "Wooden ships"? Good choice for the point you're making, but I'd go with the original Crosby Stills Nash and Young version. I see them as the ultimate hippies. How about "Something in the Air", by Thunderclap Newman? Maybe "For What It's Worth", Buffalo Springfield ( also had some of the same lineup as CSNY). Or, to get the all-important British perspective, almost anything by Donovan, the ultimate British hippy ( he was Scottish in fact) - "Mellow Yellow"'s fun. The British "hippy" movement seemed to be a little more light weight than the American, more about style and sex and drugs etc. Psychedelia. The American hippies lived in a country that was at war at the time, not so the British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I don't recall (I should). Was the CS &N version the original one? I believe the song was written by Paul Kantner of the Airplane, so you'd think they would have done it first. For me, nothing beats the Marty Balin-Grace Slick harmonies. Also love Kakounen's guitar work on the song.......Donovan's 'Season of the Witch" best exemplifies the late'60s for him, IMHO.

misswonderly3 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Ok, I looked it up. According to Wikipedia: "Wooden Ships" is a rock song written and composed by David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Paul Kantner (of Jefferson Airplane) in the late 1960s. The song was written and composed in Florida on Crosby's boat. Crosby composed the music, and Stills and Kantner wrote most of the lyrics." So we're both right. I tried to post the Airplane version of this song, but it's not a good connection. Or something. I don't really know how YouTube works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casablancalover Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 A sound from/of the Sixties era? I don't know if I can keep it to one. These always comes to mind: Buffalo Springfield: Crosby, Stills, and Nash: I love the Beach Boys, Beatles (in fact most of the British Invasion), Elvis, Motown, and all. But for myself and both my brothers, it was a different time. I look back on it, and I believe 1970 was a watershed for so much of it. But it was building through the sixties. Then, after the fall of Saigon, musically we had "Disco" Go figure. Edited by: casablancalover on Aug 5, 2010 11:33 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 "Eve of Destruction" and a couple of the ones Miss W. mentioned seem to have been mentioned just because of the lyrics. The thing about "Wooden Ships" is that, even ignoring the anti-war lyrics, the song has a late '60s psychedelic (or whatever) feel. The Airplane's "White Rabbit" , the Doors' "Break on Through" , and the Stones' "Paint it Black" are three others that make it on all counts.
