Consider this channel a media blender, a sort of Media-O-Matic. Any live music that I do is created "on the spot". Acoustic, electric,drums, vocal, all of it is created and performed "on the spot". Plus I post vintage 78 RPM records, 45 RPM records, and LP records played in real time. The audio is not from a cd or computer program. The source is the actual record. I also post footage from a public access television show that aired in Cincinnati, Ohio in the 1980's called "Blue Monday ". I also post scenes from my current public access show "Who's The Guy In The Hat?". I also post anything else that fits the blender profile. My hope is that you will enjoy this blender barrage.
I'll tell ya how in the -hell- world the old folks tell it ain't gonna rain no more! They poisoning our beautiful thunderstorms with silver iodide now, is how. To maximize profit.
I've only ever seen this once on a DVD my mom's friend had of old cartoons, and it's been stuck in my head since. Glad I found it again Also, for reference, I'm 20, I'm not as old as y'all lol
Jan Berry is almost a forgotten '60s rock participant. But his dramatic production of this record (along with his other Jan & Dean productions) is surpassed by no one else.
This reminds me of Yosemite Sam singing his version that went: "I can't get a long little doggy I can't even get one that's small No, I can't get a long little doggy I can't get a doggy at all" 😂
What a treat that we have this performance on video that we can watch whenever we want Cab Calloway was amazing. I don’t know what it would take to see another performer or another era of music that was so impactful.
In 1962 when the E Jag came out I knew I would have to have one. A number of years later I got one and it was the greatest car I’ve ever owned. Had to sell it to take care of my family and always figured I would get another one. Can’t possibly afford one at now days prices. This song was my riding song. PS to all you Vette drivers, the Jag won the race. He states “ and then I saw the Jag slide into the curve”. He doesn’t say in his rear view mirror and right before he says “ he passed me at Dohene and I started to swerve so I pulled her out and there we were at deadman’s curve. If the guy in the Jag died he still won!!!
Ahh..memories. First time I heard this I was 16 in Houma, Louisiana. My folks and I had just moved there and were living in a rented old (!!) little air stream trailer by the highway that led into town, poor as church mice. Next door was an all night gas station where a lot of times I'd hang out evenings after school whenever I wasn't hangin' with pals Gordon and Ted (square cat ) Robichaux. There was an AM radio inside the gas station on the desk blasting 50s music constantly. And one day I heard... Honkey Tonk Part 2. Wow, I thought, what..a..cool..song! I was already a 50s rock 'n' roll nut but this was so....different. Life is strange 'cause 4 years later I fronted and sang in my own early R 'n' R band outta Portland Oregon touring with famous cats, playing clubs, cutting a few records (one of 'em still plays on RU-vid, a rocker called You Hurt Me So...on Lavender label). So, anyway one song we always had in my band's stage song list was, yep, Bill Dogget's Honkey Tonk Part 2. I'm Leon and this has gone on long enough. Bye, thx!
From the classic GLORY OF LOVE album on A&M/CTI. The notes say Herbie enjoyed covering tunes from the "obscure" singer Ray Charles. Of course, everyone knows Ray's hits well, including this one. This version surely honors the original well.
Grew up in New Orleans baby dogs and this song by Gary Bonds along with Smiley Lewis, Fats Domino, Huey Piano Smith, Frankie Ford and a lot of others like Chris Kenner, Loyld Price Eddie Breaux ,Irma Thomas and a host of others performed and some still play in and around New Orleans. America's biggest and greatest melting pot where Rock and Roll really began and these artists and songs have been copied ever since since by the Stones ,Dave Clark Five , The Beatles , The Animals and hundreds of others say New Orleans is the greatest music mecca that ever was and still is. And just think I grew up right in the middle of all this talent and history.
