I like his more recent cynical work.....i.e ..instead of have I told you lately that I love you.....it is now....have I told you lately that your feet smell....you've put the weight on....you snore like an elephant with sinus problems.....

I'm a Van the Man Fan....

I just got a CD of his called "A Night In San Francisco." It is out of print, so I found a used copy on the net. It is a live recording and it is so beautiful...so great...so fantastic...I can't even get over it. Guests appearing with Van on this sublime 2 CD set include John Lee Hooker, Junior Wells and Jimmy Witherspoon...

Not sure if this will work, but here is trying...

Well, if you click on the link in the post above it takes you to a page where you can listen to some of the music...not exactly how I hoped it would work, but it does work...

Van and John Lee Hooker doing "Gloria" , gaawwd dayum! This is the way I do it with the band on Jam night at the local dives. . .

And for you purists . . . the original . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH20JpkBhxY

A little story . . I started playing the guitar when I was 12, begged and whined till my mom bought me a Sears Silvertone acoustic for $29.99 in 1965. If she was Catholic she'd be a saint for sure . .

I played and sang "Gloria" acapella with a Gibson ES-330 and a Fender Bandmaster Amp in my HS talent show in 1969 and WON!! My parents found out when my name was in the local paper . . . My old man beat me within an inch and grounded me for ever . . . not a good "witness" ya know . . he was gonna smash my Gibson . . I told him if he did I would kill him . . . he didn't. To this day he has NEVER acknowledged my musical talent . . .

Music was a large part of my path out of the Kult . . .

lisaBo: I will give yours a listen. It's a bit more difficult

Locutus: I deleted three songs by Them but these were the ones I had posted

Gloria: now this song has good memories for me. A local band used to play this and they would play it on and on (I guess it helped that the lead singer and I had a crush on each other) They did a great version. Also did a great version of Supremes You keep Me Hanging On but more bluesie and slower. I found one version kind of similar if memories serves me, but then it was sooooo long ago. The video is funny though, but it was the 60's.

These music threads seem to be pretty popular. Maybe I should start a Spencer Davis Group thread, or British Invasion.

What do you think? I rarely tire of music.
