A Song for Everything

[BrendaD]

Johnny Rivers has this one covered.


Being Poor (concept)

Off of "Willy and the Poorboys"... one of my all time favorite bands....

I submit for your review, "Down On The Corner" ... "Willy and the Poorboys are playin'..."

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Down On The Corner

Hungry

 

[PicassosPleasure]

And that's just me - I actually do not at all enjoy hearing people perform their song really different because they are tired of playing it the original way. I know, lots of people seem to prefer that. Which is fine. It isn't me.

Hear, hear!

 

[PicassosPleasure]

Hungry

Like the Wolf

Any wild animal in North America

Hungry

Like the Wolf

I love that song too.

 

[BrendaD]

…and like 20 minutes later, that original version of 10th ave, is still going through my head.

 

[DirkCamacho]

Okay - I want you to know - I tried to listen to that. But that recording, made me stop it, then go find the original so I could hear what I enjoyed.

And I'm positive it would touch my heart... but the...um... less than desirable version of the song, is too... it isn't good for me.

That makes me sad.

Perhaps you have missed the point of this performance. It’s not Bruce reinterpreting his songs because he’s bored. It’s Bruce telling stories with music as the backing track. The music is secondary. The message, the story, the human connections, are primary.

Oh well. Your loss. I tried.

 

[~Elizabeth~]

Bruce talks about his magical relationship with Clarence. Everyone with a heart should listen to this, no matter how they feel about Bruce.

Let’s stay with unlikely couples.

Lord that made me cry nearly as much as the night I saw Clarence had left this world. Thank you for sharing.

There is a comment on this that this is Jaco on bass! Wow!!!!

Joni Mitchell - Coyote

Good Morning

 

[DirkCamacho]

Good Morning

And I know in the morning that it’s gonna be good
If I stick out my elbows and they don’t bump wood

A coffin

He played on 4 Joni albums.

Eulogy

A Coffin

What's this??? @ZfrkS62 knew a song with the word "Coffin" in it? Wait - it's even in the title???

You know I am just kidding you, right? I truly mean no offense whatsoever.

 

[PicassosPleasure]

Eulogy

How about one sung in a death song. (Note: "songs" are sung, "chants" are chanted, and "screams" are screamed.)

Parade

 

[BrendaD]

Parade

While not among my more favorite Doors tunes, as a big fan - I of course know this tune well.

The Doors - The Soft Parade

Street

 

[PicassosPleasure]

Street

Here's a fun version of Dancing in the Street.

Two or more musicians from different bands playing together.

Well I can immediately think of several David Bowie songs he did with other big names.

This one was really good... at least until an idiot ripped it off for some horrific garbage he recorded....

Queen - Under Pressure

Pressure

Song about playing the piano

I like to think I have amazing self control... I can resist many temptations that would do in a lesser woman.
But I do not have the ability to not post this song, here, now.

It is just too good.

Billy Joel - Piano Man

Guitar

 

[PicassosPleasure]

Guitar

I will call your Piano Man and raise you a Guitar Man.

Violin or Fiddle

Very nice!!!!

You know I got this... I loved this song the very first time I heard it...

Charlie Daniels Band - The Devil Went Down to Georgia

Bass ... no, I already called that... um....

Trumpet

 

[PicassosPleasure]

Trumpet

I posted the world's fastest guitarist in Brenda's song thread not too long ago, and wonder if this comes close to the fastest trumpist. Anyways, "Flight of the Bumblebee" comes to mind as an old trumpet classic.

Any big band classic

I think there is a Herb Albert version which is also amazing.

I'm a huge Glenn Miller fan. And rather than do "In The Mood" like everyone does, I went for this.

The Glenn Miller Orchestra - Chattanooga Choo-Choo

Jazz (interpret however you want)

Now that's a classic!

Since it's my turn to bet, I'll raise a "Jazzman."

Reggae (switching it up a little)

I absolutely love this song. It is soooo good.

Perhaps my favorite Marley tune... not sure.

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Stir It Up

More Reggae!
