Blbloom-- right on! The correct spelling is Mai're Brennan (pronounced moira). She also records under her own name. I have 4-5 of her CDs, she has a beautiful voice-- I especially like the Irish ballads. So, I'll give you votes! Craig |
David: Chilling answer, not even close. As best as I can recall the album may have been released in around 1972-73 and cannot be traced (legaly anyway) to GH. |
I believe that Blue Oyster Cult was known as Soft White Underbelly. |
right on Drew!! ok,what were they called before before that? |
Question(s):
1. How many Timmins' are in the Cowboy Junkies Band?
2. What are their names? |
OK, here is a tacky one. What famous rock star preferred wearing womans panties under his blue jeans, rather than the male variety? |
Craig-2,Michael and Margo |
Albert- I didnt know there is a male varity. I guess I better check mine. |
Sorry David, no cigar. Shall I give someone else a chance? |
Undertaker(good name, cuz kelly yer killin' me!) is winning this hands down! Very impressive!
David, I'm curious, what did you find when you checked?
Kelly, I went out and voted + for 900 of your posts, so you should be in the positive column again (don't tell anyone I did that, k?)
and oh yeah, on the topic :
What band did Al Dimeola play for in the 80's? |
Craig - 3 - Margo, Michael and Peter |
Craig - no wait - I didn't read far enough down on the CD
4~
Michael - guitar
Peter - drums
John - guitar
Margo - vocals |
Angela100; Correctomundo! You win a cigar and 2/2 votes. BTW Peter Timmins is on drums, Michael on lead guitar (he also writes much of their music, and produces), and of course Margo is lead singer. Cheers Craig |
hey WHERE's MY VOTES?!?!?!?!? (stompin' my feet & spilling my wine) |
Angela100; seems we were posting at the same time. But either way I think you are correct. "The Trinity Session" just lists three, but on the Studio Sessions, John Timmins is listed as 'back-up vocals'. But I don't think John is a "regular" or full time band member. Either way you get the cigar IMO, and the votes. Cheers. Craig |
Angela, that is the funniest post you have ever done. Don't spill your drink on the Junkies, unless its green wine. |
OK, I guess it's time for me to jump in. Angela, if I'm not mistaken, Al Dimeola played with "Return To Forever" in the '80's. Here's a couple: 1. What was Charlie Parker's first musical instrument? 2. What (live) farm animal did Airto play as a percussion instrument on Hermeto Pascoal's brilliant '76 recording "Slave's Mass"? |
Frogman, correct +2/+2 for U ! |
Undertaker4, Right, Gary Busey played drums for Leon Russel. |
Next question. What fortune is Michael Naismith of the Monkeys heir to? |
Angela-I checked my skivies and they are white (good?) smooth silk like material(bad?) and the label says "Madonna's Pink Pleasure" (????) |
Blbloom, I know the answer to this one, but am not guessing. I would hate to hog this thread, so I wrote the answer out, and am now whiting it out with an office product. |
Bibloom-thats easy! White Out (thanks Undertaker Shhhh!) |
Heres an easy one: What band got their name from Jane Fonda's Barbarella? |
Undertaker4. You are taxing my brain with this one. Easy question, yes, but my memory isn't what it used to be. I think it is Duran Duran. |
|
Tom Wait's "Nighthawks at the Diner" just came up in another post. The cover is a parady of a painting by a great American artist. Who is the artist? |
what is xtc's alter-ego *pop* band called? |
Duddy- answer:Limp Bizkit?? |
bbloom, is it norman rockwell? david, no it's not limp bizkit, and, not to worry, no negative wotes for guessin'... ;~) doug s. |
oops, a quick search came up w/edward hopper, blbloom - is dat cheatin'? ;~) |
Hint on the XTC question; isn't it the same name as one of Steve Earle's backing bands?
Two more Beatles trivia questions: (1) Name the first Beatles song to "feature" a musician other than John, Paul, George, and Ringo; (2) Name a Beatles song that featured none of the fab four playing instruments; and (3) name the other one (at least that I can recall). |
This is a nice thread. Undertaker, on your (1) Beatles question, I don't think Ravi Shankar played the sitar on "Within You, Without You", did he? If not, I seem to recall that Eric Clapton played on one of their White Album cuts--was it "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"? Just guesses, my memory's a bit hazy, and it's been a tough day. Maybe I'm confusing that with Harrison playing on Cream's Goodbye album ("Badge")? |
RCPrince, you are correct, Ravi Shankar did not play sitar on WYWY, that was George. There was another debate earlier on here about just who did play on While My Guitar Gently Weeps, but I'm pretty sure that was Clapton (it sounds like Clapton to me, and Clapton is listed on the credits, so I'd conclude it was Clapton). Further, Harrison did play on Badge -- Do you remember what his pseudonym was?
However, Clapton was not the first "guest" instrumentalist on a Beatles song. |
Undertaker, in answer to your Beatles question (2), does Revolution No. 9 (no. 9, no.9, no.9) count as a song? |
Undertaker, I posted that question about Gearge Harrison on Badge up above, only I gave the pseudonym, Angelo Mysterioso.
Sedond, Edward Hopper is correct. |
Forgive me in advance, but I have to ask this question. Who made their guest appearance on Sesame Street singing one of my daughter's and my all time favorites, "You Got To Put Down The Ducky, If You Want To Play The Saxophone"? |
|
Good guess, but there were two rock stars and a number of actors, who each did solos. I gave you points for an amusing guess. Your answer would have been as good as the real thing. |
|
David, you are one WIERD puppy (Your Madonna answer) but this is the BEST WAY EVER to use this voting system for FuN! This is a great idea and hopefully, some other creative souls can think of other fun ways to utilize the system. THANKS! |
Let's all give David a round of applause and +2/+2 for this fun thread! "Drinks all around, my friends" |
David99: Sorry I have been blocked out of posting again last night and today. The George Harrison album and band was "Dark Horse", also I beleive on Dark Horse Records and there may have been two albums released, but I cannot remember for sure. The P. Roducer was "Harry Georgeson" and it was obvious that Harrison did the guitar work. He did not sing on the album because Apple (with whom he was in contract with at the time and with whom he was thourougly disgusted with) could have proved through voice analysis that it was him performing. Their were two vocalists in the band who both sang at the same time and when they did they sounded very much like GH. The rumor was that they were two unknowns that had been selected for this combined talent (or parroting ability) that they had. |
PS: Sorry about the There/Their's, I know better but have brain damage. |
Undertaker, I'll try again, you got me looking through my old Beatles albums. Would you consider Anil Bhagwat, the tabla player on "Love You To" from the Revolver album, to be a "featured" artist? I was going to guess the clarinetist from "When I'm 64", but I don't know who that was. One set of questions back at you, probably pretty easy--1. Who was the original organist for Blood, Sweat and Tears; 2. What group did he play with immediately prior to joining BST; and 3. Who was the lead guitarist for that former group? |
Rcprince, not sure wether your questions are directed at Undertaker or not, so I'm going to jump in. 1. Al Kooper 2. Blues Project. 3. Steve Katz. I'll try again with my question: What was Charlie Parker's first instrument? |
Is Frogman right? I would have said: Kooper, Blumfield and Stills. And Steven Stills was the Guitarist. "Super Session" |
Or was Super Session right after BS&T? |
Frogman, I'll give you points, but it was 2 out of 3 (the last one was a little bit of a trick question). Steve Katz was the lead guitarist for BST, but NOT the Blues Project, where he was the rhythm guitarist (as we called them back then). Lead guitar honors went to Danny Kalb, who to this day still sticks in my mind as one of the best I ever heard play in those days before wah-wah pedals and other distortion devices other than my old fuzz-box. I understand he still plays in NYC, acoustic these days (a friend of mine ran into him at a flea market in Brooklyn a few years ago, as he was checking out a Blues Project album). Bbloom, I recall Super Session as being after Kooper left BST, but I wasn't thinking of that as a real group in that it more was a recording session--great guitarists there, though, huh? |
Right you are Rcprince. Good questions. What was Charlie Parker's first musical instrument? Hint, it was not a reed instrument. |
