music in the shed

Am subjecting my princess to 'Yes, Live in Montreal' DVD. She actually likes it, either that or she's pretending.......or asleep. Rick Wakeman on keyboards...awesome!
 
Gerald,

Had I pissed the USAF off, I suspect a titanium hip joint wouldn't be enough the repair the damage!! :o

The Ramstein CTR is class D, same as any big airport, meaning you need a clearance to enter.
Call up and ask. Provided you sound competent, and they aren't too busy, you should get a clearance.
Actually the military in Germany are generally very helpful to GA, and a useful training resource.

Rgds,
Steve
 
Just been to see Canned Heat and The Fabulous Thunderbirds with Kim Wilson, at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne - both absolutely awesome.

Had plenty of chances to catch Canned Heat over the years but always thought without Alan Wilson and Bob Hite their heart and soul was missing. Not so. Three original members now back in the line up. Larry Taylor, Harvey Mandel and Fito de la Parra. Still pumping out red hot blues and boogie.

As for the Thunderbirds, they blew the doors off. Saw them many years ago with Jimmie Vaughan. This line up with original Kim Wilson was as good if not better.
One of the best blues harp blowers I've seen. They're back to US tomorrow otherwise I'd be going again.

Anything with bagpipes?
Click to expand...

I found this on youtube. The Bad Piper. AC/DC on bagpipes.
His vest says "Loud Pipes Save Lives"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO1bGlyHDNU

now I'm going to go back and type in "heavy metal bagpipes"
I did that before with "arabic heavy metal" and found an Egptian metal band with a female vocalist.

Cheers All,

If you're after bagpipe rock, try Tanzwut / Corvus Corvax.

Wolfstone might be worth a listen as well - "Tinnie Run" or "Ballavanich" are both good places to start
 
come to think of it, Martyn Bennet, Shooglenifty or even the Tartan Amoebas should be inspiring.

And there's always Deaf Shepherd
 
This guy is a million-seller in Spain, regularly getting into the top 20. I confess I have a CD of his too...

He helped to develop an electronic bagpipe, since his asthma meant he couldn't manage a whole concert with a gaita.
 
Interesting Liz.
I had to do some "googling" to find ouot the difference between the gaita and the uileann pipes. They sound pretty similar (to me). At least the gaita is played by breathing into it (unlike the Irish pipes!!)
The gaita looks and sounds like it is reasonably polite to play indoors. Which Scottish pipes are NOT!!  :)
Yes, I love Scottish pipes. I also love heavy metal rock too. Go figure.

Hevia is a VERY good player. Fine musician.

The bagpipes Accadacca had was rarely if ever played live, in fact they had a cassette which the venue had to play with the bagpipe solo on it. The story goes that they lost the cassette (yep they only had one copy!!) on one tour, not sure what they did about it though!!

Not sure if he's really playing it here or not though, it very much looks very badly mimed:-



 
I guess you can wear what the hell you like when you get asked to play with the strolling bones, I mean shorts and white socks! My kids wouldn't let me out of the house dressed like that.....

 
Doing Laverda bits and bobs in the shed today, so what else could I listen to:-

Went to the Narara concert the year after that one, Talking Heads were awesome, the crowd made them play Burning Down The House several times :)

The Zarsoff Brothers were damned funny. with Terry, Bernie and Bluey Zarsoff and of course Izzy Foreal.
