Music Enthusiasts?

Can't believe I nearly forgot! Three Dog Night. One of the groups with longevity. They played almost gratis at the Tanana Valley State Fair in Fairbanks for years in an outdoor venue, weather permitting. :)

Sometimes I think genetic memory kicks in from my ancestry?? Medieval English, Celtic, Scottish, Irish themes really stick in my head. These are not stand alone numbers but are fit into movie scenes. These in Robin Hood

I helped record Jimmy Buffet’s first live album, “You Had to Be There”. It was recorded over two nights at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. Was a fan of his for over 50 years before he passed. RIP Jimmy.
must have been such an experience, i never meet famous people.
 
Played some Beach Boys for the five year old grand daughter while she was playing with her shell collection on a make believe beach...she liked them.
Hawl & Oates brings back memories.

Oh ya. Beach Boys - right in my high school and college wheel house
 
Back to Three Dog Night. I think most of their recordings and videos require the use of ear buds or a headset for decent listening. That is especially true for some original stuff from the the early 70s. Here's a link for Shambala that is a studio recording which has slightly better audio than the audio in the video link posted earlier. No doubt, in my mind at least, they had one of the best and most unique combinations of vocals of any band of the era. While Chuck Negron's vocal is iconic for his Joy To The World, IMO, Cory Wells has the most unique and interesting voice of the three vocalists. With proper sound quality source, using ear buds or headset, listen closely to Wells in the audio link below. Also, search and listen to his unique vocal talent displayed in Never Been To Spain. As an aside, one my daughter's good friends in college is from Nepal so Three Dog Night's Shambala, always reminds me of the mystical, fictional Shambala (Shangri-la). There is a place name of Shambhala in Nepal. Various researchers/scholars of Buddhist history think the legend of Shambala (Shangri-la) could be rooted in northern India, Nepal or Tibet. :)

 
Can't help it. Certain things always remind me of other things :)

Southwest of Healy Alaska is an old mine access cat track called the Stampede Trail. About 18 miles in from the trailhead was an abandoned bus #142, aka the Magic Bus made infamous by the late idiot McCandless. The bus was pulled in there to serve as a camp for workers when the cat track was first cut in to access a mine. Finally in 2020 state and local officials air lifted the bus out.... they were tired of wasting their search and rescue budget rescuing idiots who continued trying to trace the steps of McCandless into the bus. A river crossing on the way can be deadly and is usually somewhat treacherous. Also included is a pic of Camela's idea of a Magic Bus. The link is for a concert number in Leeds by The Who. I don't know if this is the time they hit 126 db sound output but wouldn't doubt it. Keith Moon on drums is insane in this performance.

I have only been to one concert in my life, and that was to hear Duke Ellington´s Orchestra.

Yes, I´m a Jazz fan, also enjoy some of the classics, and traditional Brazilian music.

Pop and rock, not so much but there are exceptions, like the Doors

Peter White: .. they had a lot of nice artists.

 
Over the last decade or so I became a fan of Classic Music during the Opera season at the Met in NY I listen to Opera I'm a fan Of Wagner but I prefer Italian Opera especially Puccini Even though I cannot understand a word of it

No need to understand it if you can feel it ;)
