The first national act I saw live was the Four Seasons, but I don't count it as my first rock concert because 1) it was a benefit for a youth center,2) Tony Bennett was the headliner and 3) I WENT WITH MY PARENTS. It was at the Westchester County Center in 1965 or perhaps 1966. The first REAL rock c...

I like jazz.

I love the fact that we're thinking "Oh, it's Me Wag" as if that's a normal sounding sentence.

I love that show (American Pickers" and have been following it for quite some time. There's some really fine chemistry between the 3 characters and those they meet along America's roadways. I also like the 3 main characters, although I think Mike overacts. What I really love about the show is ...

Garcia: An American Life, by Blair Jackson. Excellent, serious bio of the Head Dead/Deadhead.

This is actually a question, not a statement. I've only heard 'Music from Big Pink' and 'The Band' by The Band. Did anything they released after that (not counting the soundtrack to The Last Waltz) compare to those two albums? I think they recorded many songs at the same level of excellence as on t...

steve(thelil) Name an original Paul Revere and the Raiders member who left during their popular period? What group that had a big hit and another song that was covered and made more famous by the Lovin Spoonful included an autoharp player? What group recorded the hit song "I Love You" Who ...

I like the way the board looks.

Author Thread Dennis González I'm sure you've heard bunches of 'em, but here goes a few: A young child says to his mother, "Mom when I grow up, I'd like to be a musician." Mom replies, "Well, hon, you know you can't do both!" What's the difference between a banjo and an onion? No...

Jan and I spent the day at the gazebo (remote) stage at the Saratoga Jazz Fest. Saw Carmen Souza ; Rudresh Mahanthappa's Gamak with David "Fuze" Fiuczynski, Dan Weiss & Rich Brown; Ben Williams & Sound Effect and Gilad Hekselman Trio featuring Rick Rosato & Jeff Ballard. I enjo...

The Beach Boys are such an institution that it's very hard to separate any given record from their entire history and the public perception of it. It's hard for me to fathom that someone without a negative bias and/or backlash against the Brian Wilson worship would not think that some of their recor...

You also didn't create the first Nint Minton thread.

It saddens me.

I now know what it was like for people who saw Elvis in his final years...

Laughed very loud as did my wife, despite her initial dismay at my being associated with boner threads.

The other day my brother texted me something about Wynton, but he spelled it Winton. Maybe he was talking about Clint Winton?

I'm steve(thelil). I'm a fucking saint and the moral beacon of the Internet. I've been alive forever. I wrote the very first boner thread.

I'm talking about quality, not sales. And not looking for "flukes" as much as artists who produced great first albums right out of the gate. Elvis Costello - As great as later stuff is, to me My Aim Is True is astonishing. I thought I could come up with more right off the top of my head. T...

Been watching a lot of American Pickers...........sort of. I find it's a great show to have on in the background when I'm on the computer and not really paying attention. PS. "Good Background TV" might be a good thread in itself. I hereby assign all rights to starting it to whoever starts ...

OK. I promise to reveal the answer to "How Many Boners does it take to screw in a light bulb" on this board. It's earned it.

Now I just have to think of a good one.

OK. I could have expected that someone very sharp would beat me to starting the first boner thread.

But a Nint Minton thread?
