Singer Songwriters who should be household names....
by hillary_step inover the decades musicians rise and fall like a spring wind.
some stay where they should never be, some never are where they should be; such is the roulette of time.

I have never understood why Dave Stewart was quite so overlooked both as a musician and songwriter. An incredible, iconocalstic musician he was also a very gifted lyricist.
That's the rule though.
Far too many gifted musicians are overlooked while some are promoted.
Not all have access to this group. I know, you know about KVMR Seeker...Imagine the radio station this group could create. ;-)
Good music without payola.

ARE WOMEN MORE ROMANTIC THAN MEN................AND WHY?
by Summer wine inpersonally, i think they are ............and from an early age but why?
from personal experience men need to feel loved, wanted and appreciated but have a bypass from romance.
is it just my husband or do you men feel pressured to be "be romantic".

I think Mr Majestic is correct. Men can be very romantic. I also think women often fail to recognize/appreciate it.
I too wonder if it's real or perceived. I've lived a bachelors life, when I date a woman I bring flowers...I open doors. I do this because I want to send the message that "I'm here because I want to get to know you"...pre-sex, I want a personal relationship. If I don't like you, I'm gone...there will be no sex. I have this option because in my society males are conditioned to take the lead. This commentary really dosen't address the op's question, but I submit the observation.

Did she sing the song "At Seventeen"?
Yeah, but I remember her for "Society's Child". I was just starting to become aware of social issues, and she was writing songs about them.
I found this though, gotta love youtube.

Having taken the time to read through this thread I wonder:
Suburbia" killed the electric car....and city buses and trolley cars..
Everything I've read up to this point indicates no one here can debate that on the West Coast the public transportation in the early 1900's was state of the art. Here in Sacramento, it was powered by a hydroelectric dam. Every thing I've read indicated it was clean, cheap and functional.
Just now, 100 years later we are again using electricity on those 100 year old lines. We've extended them a bit...but what we had back then can be experienced in SF by any tourist. The same private transport network existed on the entire West Coast and then rapidly vanished. Some have said it vanished when it was at it's optimum efficiency.
Why?
Anyone here know?
Save the rabid verbage for another thread, why were these lines shut down?
I'm all ears.
I'm not interested in hijaking this thread, but this question can't be answered without looking at the history of "electric" public transportation.

Unfortunately in this business it is as much who you know as what you know, if not more
Sadly, that is the rule. Fortunately we get to hear some who can't be ignored.

Do you recall Jeremy Spencer? He played a pretty good slide guitar in a few of Mick Fleetwood's early band incarnations
I know that Peter (and Mick) had a line up for a while that included a few other guitar styles. Slide and pedal steel? (just guessing here)
Sadly, you are entering my JW black hole years.
I knew Peter Green from John Mayall but in the late 70's through early 77? I was followiing that bigger Jesus you so aptly described.
I try to forget those dark ages. My sister worked in the music industry and did her best to keep me up to date. I was ever on guard against those demons though!I've been trying to catch up ever since. I only became aware of the YouTube library after I revisited JWD after a long absence.
Jeremy Spencer is great. The "National" guitar has such an interesting tone.
I've heard the name "Peter Sloan", but hearing him is entirely different.
Live music...hmm, I don't know what words to choose. Recorded music pleases me...live music excites me?
Mr. Ted,
You did good, I don't recall seeing Phil Ochs named here. One could say Leonard Cohen picked up where Phil Ochs left off. -

they eat every bug they see which is useful.
Mine have given up wasps and I think black widows. It's fun to watch them snag flies in mid-flight though.
Cat's don't hunt to eat, cats hunt to hunt. Which isn't necessarily good in an urban environment.
