music in the shed

Not all Bari sax sound "smooth", many have that hard edged buzzing sound to my ear. Dana has it well sorted, overall. Read what mouthpiece he uses somewhere. Not Berg Larson like thought. Have a Mexiconn 12m Bari here and decent Jupiter Tenor ( silver plated ), the thought of playing those at the same time in my gob is unlikely, give a laugh try one day. Rather novel playing transposing Bb Eb same time, no reason why it would not work using the upper key clusters, others play that trick i know. j
 
Bit of a stretch the comparison for myself, perception is reality in a life. Lots of songs on the Junco's home page, outwardly not obvious a diversity, to me they are sufficiently diverse to have a high groove.

My mob are going to do Monkee's "Steppin stone " kinda fun song of lamentable love, j.
 
The Monkees music was all recorded by the Wrecking Crew, there are some great Monkee anecdotes in the movie about them. And was written by a number of famous songwriters. I believe all they did was the vocals. Stephen Stills auditioned when the TV band was being formed, but was rejected.

Boyce and Hart a main song writing pair for known acts of the day, Dolenz could drum, Peter Tork could play also, Davey J could hold a tune, well to my ear it seems. Had some catchy numbers. j
 
I'm not one for watching cover bands play "A sides" but yesterday was an exception. Tim Rogers and Davey Lane (You Am I) and a host of other reputable Melbourne musos got together to celebrate 50 years since The Rolling Stones played at Kooyong in Melbourne. Same setlist and same support band too (Madder Lake).
Here is their rendition of Midnight Rambler

 
Bass player even stands like Bill Wyman, high neck angle. Ok groove at times this lot, if not tending to the temptation of star moments one after the other.... no mystery why Bill and Charlie looked bored in the stellar years.... i just spear the guitarist in the back if it gets prolonged agony of free style solos.. or stand in front of them.. another sure winner for band brawl on stage... mis those days, well sort of...j

Ok, gaps in my local knowledge are notable, if not lamentable. Knew Henry in Sun on bass, Renee very early band. One mystery that am unable to have any background, Kristy T??? whom was part of Machinations, Nero Swan on bass ( fretless at times, nice ). What a star on stage and hot as, Kristy ( if real name ) any of the clips from Bridge Hotel Rozelle, cannot look away, great talent, maybe Rowdypat is the enlightened man. j

Kristy T ?? Dunno. Maybe Naomi Starr?

Think your close if not on the money Pat, am much obliged, the Kristy name came from a Newtown ABC clip of Machinations, at Enmore theater. Done some research and some of the images look to be name and face matched to your suggestion. Goodness i would stand a stage with her in a heartbeat. Seems odd to have the same surname as the keys man in Machinations, Tone Starr. Mysteries of the muso world. j
 

Always find obscure cover versions interesting ....... wonder where they learn the chord progression from ..... whether they study it , or if it just comes naturally by ear ....... This guy does one of the very early Pistols B-sides ......
