Mighty AC Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Posted August 6, 2014 George Gershwin How Long Has This Been Going On? Nice Work if You Can Get It Rhapsody in Blue Years ago my grandmother wanted digital versions of her old albums. While collecting digital copies and putting together CDs and playlists, I ended up getting hooked on music by guys like Gershwin and Glenn Miller. I listened to 'How Long Has This Been Going On' sung by Felicia Sanders (I think) many times.

GostHacked Posted August 7, 2014 Report Posted August 7, 2014 Bubber... Beastie Boys won't tour again, not without Adam Yauch. I could only hope they get someone as good as Adam, or they just hang it all up. But their best album by far ... is Paul's Boutique. Mainly because of the Dust Bros drops and beats, but overall a very awesome album. Quote
GostHacked Posted August 7, 2014 Report Posted August 7, 2014 I akways worried about crashes or eqmt just sputtering out many years ago when I DJ'd for events....long since retired and last was in mid 80's. That eqmnt never failed me, and the TOA's sit in the basement collecting dust...as does the rest of the stuff. Break it out now and then and rip it up. I only mix at home and stream online now and then. It's a hobby more than anything now. Quote

Mighty AC Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Posted August 8, 2014 As it turns out I've heard 'Walk Away Renee' but I do not recall hearing the band name 'The Left Banke' before. 'Pretty Ballerina' is alright too.

WestCoastRunner Posted August 8, 2014 Report Posted August 8, 2014 Many, many, years ago, (I was a teenager), a bf's father took us to see Buddy Rich. Wow, what a performance! It is one of those events that I will never forget! I think that counts as a dream set list. Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch.

BubberMiley Posted August 8, 2014 Report Posted August 8, 2014 Buddy Rich is great (especially when he's flying off the handle), but I always preferred Gene Krupa. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet
WestCoastRunner Posted August 8, 2014 Report Posted August 8, 2014 Buddy Rich is great (especially when he's flying off the handle), but I always preferred Gene Krupa. Buddy was fantastic! It was a mind blowing concert for a young female teenager. But, wow, I was impressed! I have never heard of Gene Krupa. I will check him out!
