music in the shed

It’s day two of the three day Riverboats Music Festival in Echuca. Here’s a bit (edit- video too large too load ☹️) from The Seven Ups. Not seen them before but I’ll be seeking them out back in Melbourne 😎0B6563C5-C488-49EC-912A-85EC69553EA9.jpegA92AA3FA-DAE2-420A-A6E9-266B448EE842.jpegB12ECFFE-C961-4CFC-B80D-F3B13FED8851.jpeg
 
Wondering if the well stage clever Gal plays the bari behind her? Maybe not, she does not have a neck support for a sax.. glad to be wrong. Look like a fun band, have a lot of respect for younger folk learning an instrument in the age of laughingly called "skills" ie charging a battery on their electronic devices.....tah for the post Pat, see if i can chase down their live work.. * can understand the large fans on each stage side, gets very hot on stage j ** back from you tube, this band seems to have the "Bamboos" vib, Lance Furguson involved?

Some of you musical Laverda mob will know what you are looking at, equivalent of era Laverda's, maybe 1987 all valve ( Tube ) well used Mesa .22 combo, keeping these older amps going is for experienced hands, with lots of nostalgia attached while repairing them... not specifically related to topic, yet is part of making that music happen, of course you use period tools of the era, Australian made 3.3V soldering iron.. j.

Al and Shuggie chill out / enliven / alter / improve ( delete as applicable ) Buddy Guy`s One Room Country Shack ......

Shuggie Otis was 15 years old when he recorded this ....... After he left Blood Sweat and Tears , Al Kooper was managed by Stan Polley , who also managed the group Badfinger , and Polley was thought to be responsible for the financial " mis-management " of Badfinger`s affairs ( The band signed a $3 milion record deal with Warner Bros., through Polley ............ later Warner Bros. tried to trace the money , and even they couldn`t find out what had happened to it .... ) , leading to the suicides of Peter Ham and Tommy Evans ........ Just before his death Ham apparently wrote " Stan Poley is a souless bastard ... I will take him with me " ..... this was in 1974 ...... Stan Polley eventually passed away in 2009 .........

Click to expand...

The gal on trumpet is Charlie Woods. She didn't play any sax. Harry Cooper on sax. No Lance Ferguson involvement. This was my first time seeing them, definitely not the last.
See if this link works....
 
Light on her feet and tight on the trumpet, loved the bent notes, taught one of my Gal singers to put a foot on the monitors live, plenty of stage vib, did well to hear one another, not always the case, in deference to the wall of wedges... advice unsolicited, get the bass player onto a double bass, it will transform the groove, an electric bass is ok, a DB will lift the whole band, the difference can be startling, when i fire up with other muso's at open mics, oft the time, am requested to accompany artists, no rehearsal, learn as we stand the stage...

Take it 7 ups are instrumental only... ok mostly, Kylie Aldist would be a good guest artist... cannot help myself... arranging other bands j.
 

The Association hit I remember best from the late `sixties ....... others were Never my Love , and Cherish .....

The Association performed at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 , alongside The Who and The Jimi Hendrix Experience .....

Now that I have finally quit the rat race, I can relate to old songs about wanting out.


Sounded different back in the day, probably only listened to it while on questionable substances.
