There are a number of songs that bear retrieving and repeating. It would be nice if my brain could actually ~supply~ the names of some of them that I would love to hear redone, but that would be asking too much it seems =/
I grew up in the South, which was supplied musically by the bluegrass, country, rockabilly and soul circuit. (my 1st concert was Ike Turner and the Ikettes with the hottest singer (Tina Turner) I'd ever seen. She blew away those constipated little uptight southerners by making sweet love to her mic stand and just blasting the doors off that auditorium. I totally fell in love with her that night =) (even if they had to drive on to Ft.Smith to find a hotel that would let to blacks =(
I also accidentally discovered Fleetwood Mac's _English Rose_ about the same time. I have several of their cd's (replacing my old lp's =)
Which leads me to another subject. That of replacing music with each successive format. LP's to 8 tracks (I missed that phase, I was in hippie land =) to cassettes (I was back) to CD's... MP3's and what's next??
Argh, it's late and I should go to bed. but I do love talking about music.
Re: the Everly Brothers? they learned a lot about harmony from hill music and the Louvin Brothers. and I learned a lot about singing harmony from them too.
Oh, and the only version of _The Lion Sleeps_ I have is by REM =)
Thanks again for your music posts, they always make me happy!! =)
