Eucalpytus P. Millstone Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Speaking of Lee Marvin, here's Ol' Rheumy Eyes crooning his one and only hit record: "'Wand'rin' Star' was a number one single in the UK for three weeks and in Ireland for two weeks for Lee Marvin in March 1970. The song also peaked at number 10 in Australia." -- Wikipedia 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I had this album that I put on a looper so I could play it over and over again, learning all of the guitar parts. I play many Beatles songs as instrumental songs and I'm sometimes ask; hey, that guitar solo,,,, I don't recall hearing that on a Beatles album; NOPE, it came from this fine Adkins record. I really like what Chet does on I'll Cry Instead and She Loves You. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

JamesJazGuitar Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 1 hour ago, Allhallowsday said: It is that kind of record for me too... put it on a loop! JUNE CHRISTY Gone For The Day Just to ensure clarity: I placed the album on a pedal looper which allows one to repeat either the entire song, or just certain parts over-and-over again. I did this so I could use the album as part of practicing. One just uses the foot to hit the pedal to repeat. (much easier then picking up the needle on a record player and wearing out the record).

Eucalpytus P. Millstone Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 7 hours ago, NoShear said: The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, CHRISTMAS with CHET ATKINS... You were blessed with having been exposed to such eclectic music. My musical tastes were mostly shaped by Los Angeles AM radio. Stations such as KFWB, KRLA, and especially KHJ had a Top 40 format that included Rock, Soul, MOR, and a li'l bit o' Country-Western. Radio playlists weren't "segregated" as they are today -- at least as they are in the radio market where I currently reside ("All [Musical Style of Your Choice] All the Time!"). During the 1960s, I could tune into "Boss Radio" (93 KHJ) and listen to hits by The Beatles, The Supremes, Paul Mauriat, Roger Miller, Sergeant Barry Sadler, Booker T. and The M.G.s, Petula Clark, Wayne Newton, Johnny Cash, Herb Alpert, Hugh Masekela, and The Archies -- without ever changing the dial! During my college years, I discovered college radio stations, which had even more varied and eccentric programming. These days I primarily listen to National Public Radio, Classical Music, and -- when I can get its signal -- the only Jazz station within range. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

So, jamesjazzguitar, do you learn a song or an instrumental, strictly by repeatedly listening to it? Or can you also read (and write) music? Link to post Share on other sites

Pete Rugolo, OTOH Something Cool is the classic JUNE CHRISTY album, from 1953, and successful in its era. I love her but she is largely forgotten. She sang with STAN KENTON's band in the late 40s (after ANITA O'DAY left). She married a member of KENTON's band. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
