Darin Robinson

It was a great evening all the way around! The Ramones to Ohio Players to Zappa to The Jam to Emmylou to....well....it was across the board and...perfect. Thanks to all who came out, hope to see ya next time. The 9th of Feb.

Bill Holston

what a grand evening. Thanks for all the hard work. It was nice to meet new people. I loved the range of music. Exotica to the Jam to Ramones.

I can't wait for the next theme!

Satchel75

That was a whole heckuva lot of fun!!!!

Bill Holston

oh, and the contest, naming rock songs performed by marching bands was a gas

LaceyB

This event is totally f-in awesome. People are awesome. Get a babysitter, next time, Robert. Seriously, this is a music lovefest.

Jack E. Jett

I would love to play some camp music like.....I've Never Been To Me by Charlene or Watching Scotty Grow by Bobby Goldsboro or Funny Face by Donna Fargo......

It would just be a blast to play music with Girmac.

Darin Robinson

I've described "I've Never Been To Me" by Charlene as best filed under "torture music"

Mark Allen

Great concept. If I still lived in Dallas I'd go for sure. Gimarc's R&R Alternative show changed and helped shape my tastes as a kid, absolutely.

How about a little Monkeys, in honor of Don Kirshner, No? He also helped launch Prince and the Police, Maybe some Niel Diamond?

Jimmy

We played 'Someday Man' a few meetings ago, but that's firmly from the post-Kirshner period for the Monkees (1969). More thaqn one of us considers 'Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones, Ltd' to be a classic album, for that matter.

I'd go along with you on the Neil Diamond if it's Bang-era or early MCA. :)

Bill Holston

will you be there tonite Jimmy. It's been too long.

Bill Holston

Okay, made my pick. This was hard.

When I bought Tres Hombres in San Rafael, CA in 1976, the kid working behind the counter laughed at me. So I kicked his ass after school the next day. True story.

I'd never even been to Texas, and didn't know I'd be living there in a couple of years. When I opened the LP, and saw the picture inside, I was really confused. I'd never seen Tex-Mex food http://tinyurl.com/64o534z http://tinyurl.com/64o534z

That fold shot is from Leo's in Houston. They closed in the mid 90's. The pic is about right..mounds and mounds of Tex-Mex Goodness.

Paula

A lot of what I've heard that changed my life I heard on The Rock & Roll Alternative.

Jimmy Holcomb

Thank you and George for the plug for tomorrow night...much appreciated!

Ken Nordine's "Word Jazz", specifically the track "Sound Museum".

Dad used to listen to them all the time and the first time I heard that track, Dad lifted the needle just as Ken said, "I won't be able to keep it open very long, and you'll soon see why."

For YEARS I tried to imagine what kind of horrible sound was behind the black door. It gave me nightmares.

None of my vinyl fits in my e drive. I do have a Tom Jones 45 that will run Facebook on my Magnavox.

Terry Allen's "Lubbock on Everything" might be the greatest album ever to come out of the Lone Star State. Rob't Earl Keen has made a career off covering the songs off that seminal effort. Produced by the legendary Lloyd Maines, Terry Allen, a noted sculptor, shows his humor, wit and feminist bent. Greater still is that many of the landmarks on that 1977 release still exist in the seemingly immutable Lubbock, as are the need "to get away," the stupidity of the average American, their pretenses, their pluck, wit and resilience.

Looks like tonight will entail a bottle of wine, the rest of that joint out on the patio, and three boxes of albums.

I'm pretty sure I can rule out The Blitz, but Headhunter has surprisingly kept Krokus kicking, after a shocking defeat over FASTWAY.

Robert Wilonsky

"Looks like tonight will entail a bottle of wine, the rest of that joint out on the patio, and three boxes of albums."

Best Tuesday ever?

Satchel75

This is right up my alley. But I am a girl....a singer/songwriter 70's kind of girl and would never subject myself to the humiliation. But maybe I'll send my husband. He is a boy.

LaceyB

What up satchel? Girls night out? Wasn't born til the 80s, but, I think this boys club could use a lil x-chromin' don't you?

Ugh. I am a WAY better date than Wilonsky. I actually buy.

Jimmy

Actually, about half of the people who show up at the meetings are female!

Robert Wilonsky

Hey, you wanna go, I'll escort ya. You and your Joni Mitchell records.

Satchel75

I will consider it. Although it sounds like a scene from High Fidelity -- you know the "I just called to say I love you" bit. Will get back witcha.

Darin Robinson

"It wasn't even his terrible taste, it was his daughters"No......It's not like that at all.

Darin Robinson

"Don Juan's Reckless Daughter" almost gets played every meeting. , It actually may get played tomorrow night..just saying..There's a lot of girls that go. It IS a good time for all involved.

LaceyB

What record has the best version of Aerosmith's "Love in an Elevator", and where can I buy it NOW?

I LOVE this kind of event, stories are spectacular. But, for those of us born in the CD generation, who don't even have use for record players, what are we to say for ourselves & do at something like this?

Darin Robinson

You can just hang, enjoy a beverage or two and listen to the music and the stories. It's a good time, it goes by fast, BST also has great pizza...Music, Pizza and Seating. Not a shabby combination on a Wed night.
