Hey Koy, Jonny and LD!


Kudos for spiining some Dan Zanes, LD!  I have a couple of Del Fuegos albums, and a couple of songs by his brother Warren, but I don't have any solo Dan Zanes material.  Doesn't he usually stick to children's music these days?  

"Moon Over Greene County" - Dan Zanes

First Dan Zanes song I've seen here.  He's a really cool NYC guy.  I met him very briefly, once at a Natalie Merchant show.  He does a lot of kids stuff now and does some work with NYC public schools (performances and workshops, etc.). 

He's also involved in the American Beauty Project, honoring both The Dead's American Beauty and Workingman's Dead

RAY WYLIE HUBBARD:  "Mother Blues"

When I was a young manAbout 21 years old y'all
All I wanted was a stripper girlfriend
And  a Gold Top Les Paul
Be careful of the things you wish for
You might get 'em
There  was a night club in Dallas
Called  Mother Blues
It's where Lightning  Hopkins played
And Freddy King even  payed some dues

All the dealers  and gamblers
And young white  hipsters, they all made the scene
The girl at the door who checked ID's
Was just 16
Aw, it was not a place for law biding citizens

Jackie Jones he had 'em a habit, he just  couldn't stop
 Said give me 500  dollars
And I'll sell you my Les  Paul God Top
I drove my daddy's  car down to Ross Avenue
And I sold  it
I guess I should have told  him
He told  the police someone  stole it
It was just the first  of many bad decisions I was to make  for the next 20 years
Oh, but I had  me a guitar
Everybody  knows
That the real  nightlife
Begins after the clubs  close
What they call after  hours
It's 2 a.m. and  everybody's gone
But the band, the  dealers and Jack Jones
And then the  girls from the landing strip club come ove r
After  they put their clothes back on
So I'm at Ma Blues and I'm sitting on an amp
I'm playing "Twist and Shout"
And this tall drink of water walks in
 Looked like she might have to shoot her way out
She come up to me and she said
"You know anything good on that guitar?"
I didn't say nothing, I just kept on playing
She said, "Have you ever heard this song
Called Polk Salad Annie?"
I just kept playing
She said, "Every time I hear that  song
My insides feel like warm  butter
And I just wanna take off  my clothes
And dance around in my  underwear"
I said, "Down in  Louisiana
Where the alligator grow  so mean"
That's all I knew of it  and it was enough
So we hit it  off, me and this dancer
We hit it  off like a metapho
rLike a metaphor  for a hydrogen bomb
We was enriched  uranium, super critical mass
We was  a chain reaction, it was love and lust
Aw,  mostly lust but a mutual attraction
So  there I was boys at 21 years old, I had it all
I  had a fine stripper girlfriend and a Gold Top Les Paul
Aw, the future, it looked promising
Oh but there were dark clouds on the horizon
She was a beautiful girl
But she liked to drink Tequila and that ain't all
I come home 4 or 5 times
And she'd pawned my Les Paul
We broke up and she went to Hollywood
She married an actor
She  got a job dancing on the Hudson Brothers TV show
And  modeling lipstick from Max Factor
I  got over her, I'm glad she done alright
I'm  glad she done alright, oh yes, I am
Well  now me, I never busted through the gates
Into  the big time as a rock and roll star
For  40 years I just carried around an old Gold Top guitar
But love and fate are mysterious things
In this funky old world
It  was 20 years ago I ended up marrying
That  Mother Blues door girl
We had  us a boy, he's 18 years old now, he's playing guitar
He ended up with that Les Paul Gold Top, yes, he did
Now I don't know if he's gonna hang his  life on it or not
But I'm very  grateful for the time I get to share the stage with him
And I'm grateful for the time I get to play with  musicians
Like George Reiff and  Rick Richards
I'm grateful that I  get to write these old songs
And  travel around the world and play them for people
And they come out and hear me play
And the days that I keep my gratitude
Higher than my expectations
Well,  I have really good days

60's and sunny here, my friend-though I like what you're doing with your day WAY more than mine. Though I did just have some time off to visit with my Mom, who visits every year from North Carolina for mine and my son's birthdays because they are four days apart. Great times, very sad to see her go.


"Let It Be" - Beatles

"Garden" - Pearl Jam

Kudos for spiining some Dan Zanes, LD!  I have a couple of Del Fuegos albums, and a couple of songs by his brother Warren, but I don't have any solo Dan Zanes material.  Doesn't he usually stick to children's music these days?  

In the interest of full disclosure, that song is on a soundtrack I have, Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers. I don't care much for the movie, but the soundtrack is killer. With regard to Dan Zanes, yeah I think he mainly focuses on children's music these days-that's where I knew him from. I don;t have any of his solo stuff apart from that one song. I didn't know he was in the Del Fuegos-a band, by the way, that I saw open for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers back in '89 along with the Georgia Satellites. Helluva bill, though the Fuegos did not go over at all. Crowd was just not into them-I thought they sounded pretty damned good though.

Think I need to break down and finally get this from Amazon.

THE PLIMSOULS:  Everywhere At Once

Rock, The Plimsouls are one of my favorite bands. I saw them a number of times in the early 80's and Peter Case is in my personal Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The Plimsouls song 'A Million Miles Away' is one of the best songs ever recorded and it still pisses me off to this day that some people think that the Goo Goo Dolls cover version of it came first.

Hello to all you WAYLTer's !!!! and Greetings from Sunny Florida, just a 100 miles or so south of RockFlorida

I've been listening to mostly Doors songs today in honor of Ray Manzarek's 74th birthday.

Peace Frog, Waiting For The Sun, Shaman's Blues, Roadhouse Blues....etc. to name just a few.....   

The Plimsouls song 'A Million Miles Away' is one of the best songs ever recorded and it still pisses me off to this day that some people think that the Goo Goo Dolls cover version of it came first.

I know we are all about keeping it positive on thread, but frankly giving much of any merit for artisitic integrity to the Goo Goo Dolls is a horrid thought. I didn't even realize they had covered it. I remember when I first heard that song, it was on the soundtrack to the movie Valley Girl-and if I remember correctly didn't the band make a cameo in the film?


"Cast No Shadow" - Oasis

"Don't Let Me Down" - Beatles

"Hazy Daze" - Stone Temple Pilots

"Right Now" - Van Halen

Hey Koy and Blue.


It's good to see some beer talk around here.  I've been brewing for almost 20 years now (not as often as I'd like).  When I went to Belgium I had to buy an extra suitcase just for all of the beer we brought back.


Chasing Boo Radley (Live)- Bruce Hornsby and The Noisemakers     

 Hey Purple.

I remember when I first heard that song, it was on the soundtrack to the movie Valley Girl-and if I remember correctly didn't the band make a cameo in the film?

I was actually watching that movie on cable a couple of weeks ago.  I believe The Plimsouls were the band in club where Nick Cage's character hung out.  As I was watching that movie, I was struck by how a very young Nicholas Cage reminded me of Jason Schwartzman (the facial characteristics and expressions).  I was checking out Jason Schwartzman's bio and it turns out that he is a first cousin to Nick Cage (part of the Coppola Clan).  His mother is the actress Talia Shire, who is Francis Ford Coppola's sister.


And you wont' be disappointed by the Quadrophenia Box Set.
