Ah, theme songs! I can't find a high-quality version of it, but Bob James' instrumental "Angela" was the best TV theme song ever. Remember Taxi?

I used to listen to this before Soccer games to "get ready". Needless to say I was teased for not choosing Heavy Metal or Rap. To each his own, eh?

Something about when the drums come in on this song still gives me the chills to this day and makes me want to buy a pair of cleats. :smile:

Makes me want to get back behind a drum kit again. I had a wonderful set of Fibes drums with a to-die-for Fibes snare and Zildjians all around. All vintage stuff that I picked up here and there. For a couple of years I played that kit with a nice brass snare until one day an older drummer came into jam, and fell in love with it. He asked if I would trade the little brass snare for a Fibes snare that would match my kit. I couldn't say "yes" fast enough.

Little secret - all the years that Buddy Rich was pulling in endorsement money by playing Ludwig drums, he was using a Fibes snare drum. Ludwig could not come up with a snare that good, and Buddy wouldn't budge.

While this technically isn't a song, it's still shows my favorite guitar player of all time, Danny Gatton, doing what he does best: blending jazz, blues, and rockabilly together to make amazing music. I wish I could've seen him live. :frown:

It's worth watching all the way through. :approve:

Virtuoso! Get the Danny Gatton Anthology if you don't have it. I have a good friend who is great at blending country bends and licks with jazz, but he doesn't have that rockabilly drive like Danny did.

I always thought this was a stupid sappy song from the sixties.

It's obvious now, that I never really listened, and didn't understand what the song was about.




If only life had subtitles, so we'd known what the hell was going on.

I've always been impressed with that band's very tight integration between bass, lead, and percussion. They were just singing on the same sheet of music!

Do you mean, the scariest after the PF Sisters?

My mother LOVED the singing nun. Of course, we were VERY Catholic at the time.

This may surprise you. The sisters eventually left the convent and enjoyed great commercial success using their new identities of Simon and Garfunkel.

:smile::smile::smile::smile:


In this case, truth is more bizarre than fiction. Four years after Jeanne-Paule Marie Deckers recorded that song, she left the monastery and played under the name Luc Dominique.

Except she enjoyed great commercial failure. Her most notable post-monastery song was "Glory Be to God for the Golden Pill", a musical tribute to birth control pills.

Later, the Belgium government wanted $63,000 from her in back taxes from the profits of her only hit, "Dominique". Unfortunately for her, her agent and the convent received all the money and, being a nun unconcerned with financial matters, she had no receipts to show this.

In 1982, she released a disco version of Dominique, hoping to raise enough money to pay her taxes. That pretty much sealed the end of her singing career.

Beset with financial difficulties, she and Anna Pécher (her companion of 10 years), committed suicide together.
