OT: Music Part V

[Runner77]

Probably everyone born prior to 1970-75? he was well know for his skill. BTW, he had only one eye!!!!

I didn’t follow him closely, only knew him as a member of the Rat Pack.

I’m finally going to find out more and see never before aired video of a band I have followed for years and whose concerts in Montreal I have attended twice. Their name: I Pooh. A documentary on their career will be showing on RAI in a few minutes.

They had a long run and then their drummer passed away in 2020. They’re still performing after a 50 year career with the bass player’s son now playing drums, but their gigs are only on a limited basis.

Here’s a sample of one of their most dramatic and best pieces, shot late in their career:



These guys are considered to be Italy’s most iconic band. They’ve played all over the world and have had a long string of hits in Italy.

I was foollin' around with Audacity, a wave editor. It has a bunch of effects plug-ins, one of them gives interesting results.

I tried a bunch of other Miley tunes; She's got a man's voice sort of and some turned out really good. It's harder to go up in pitch with a male singer, and not have it sound like Alvin. Johnny Winter worked, l had him sounding like Bonnie Raitt, and with a few more keys higher some sounded exactly like Brenda Lee. Great effect, without changing the tempo.

Speaking of tempo, these guys have it.

I'm having too much turning songs around. I discovered new artists.

Erica Clapton, didnt know he had a sister.


This song is very popular these days, does a girl make it better? More hillbilly.


How about the Pointer sisters doing a classic?

This song did not win the 73rd Sanremo Music Festival that concluded recently but it is being lauded by fans of this longstanding band — its melody is an automatic ear worm. From the 28 entries that competed, this is the only one where I could sing the melody after only having heard it once.

This is how they used to make pop music in the olden days — and they did it with clean lyrics and a chock full of emotion.

It’s vintage style pop, came as advertised. I’m a fan a good melody and I’ll enjoy it where I find it.

Saw these guys for the first time without Udo,not the same but still good. The new material is not very good and dull.



This band opened up,impressive! never heard of them but got the evening started up right.

Stop the presses! you should be a sound engineer,that version is much better than the original!

Those guys are quite ornery and old. Took Sanremo organizers 53 years to get them to enter a song in the competition. When you're past your prime I guess you lay it thicker on costumes and accessories.

I know, it's pretty amazing how she sounds. Especially in the chorus, it surprised the hell out of me The trick is to fiddle with micro tuning. Tears in heaven came out really good with just a few tones higher.

I liked that song Something in the orange, now I can't unhear it with the girl's hillbilly drawl.

Some girls make good male voices, other not so much. Shania is pretty good. Raising guy's voices is harder to find the right balance, with chipmunks right close.

Got pulled over by some of the lads the other night. lol.

His scene with Archie Bunker on All in the Family is one of the funniest in the history of TV.

Thought this was a Miley Cyrus tribute band. The name of the band led me that way.lol.

When Sammy came to the house and Archie told Dingbat to not mention the glass eye and he eventually asks Sammy if he would like some cream for his eye instead of coffee. What a boob.lol.
