Old School Musicianship… Rock and Roll.. Jazz… Blues… Big Band even…

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Another protest song from Credence

 

[BrendaBear]

This is awesome!!! I am loving these songs!!!

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Perfect - that is what this thread is about, not obscure stuff, or covers of famous songs… just good old American musicianship doing their thing.

You got a hit Brenda. Thank you

The Breeze, the way JJ Cale wrote it. Speaking of backing musicians, thekud on the multi colored Fender ain't too bad...

 

[BrendaBear]

Another great one by him and I love the lyrics. And I cannot believe what they could do with just a 3 piece band!!!

Something that always blows me away about Buddy Holly. I have been listening to stuff like this my whole life - including this song (my parents had a Buddy Holly album I loved). Listen to how cool he plays that Stratocaster… how did he work all that out? He obviously did not grow up listening to other guitar player who played like that. Really phenomenal!

And this guy wrote this song about Buddy, the Big Bopper and others:

Maaaa, what's up, Doc?

The Conductor is clearly channeling Bugs Bunny. He actually leaves his feet a couple of times. Warner Brothers bought the song for a few bucks and the Warner orchestra recorded it for dozens of cartoons.

In a perfect world, it would play as I enter my workshop in the morning.

Samual Jackson sings a bit of this song in Captain Marvel… and sounds pretty good!

And this guy wrote this song about Buddy, the Big Bopper and others:

I had this on 45… half the song was on one side, and the rest was on the other.
Pretty odd when a song has an intermission.

[B2fromA2looking4U]

how many times did you listen to this song in the car?

So many times I could not count. One of my favorites while in college and a hippie.

 

[BrendaBear]

MOTOWN!!!

Stevie Wonder - Signed Sealed Delivered…

with Bob Babbitt on bass, one of my heroes… just listen to that groove! People have fallen in that groove and disappeared it is so deep.

That is a great vid - and I about fell over laughing at the white guy who doesn’t quite know when to clap… he got better but he clearly has no rhythm.

Reminds me of 8 tracks!
