Old school music is cool!

[Dave S]

@Dave S – let me start off by saying thank you for pretending I beat you in chess you top 0.2% you.
For the old school.. Dave, Copy the final you tube url for the video you seeing and want to play. Then go to the normal create new message (post) thing TAB, 3rd from the right at the top, it is a picture of a film. Click on it. Then paste the url into it.

Another of my great Albums is this:
Magna Carta - Lord of the Ages



Lyrics to Lord of the Ages :
Lord of the Ages rode one night
Out through the gateways of time
Astride a great charger
In a cloack of white samite
He flew on the air
Like a storm
Dark was the night
For he'd gathered the stars in his hand
To light a path through the sky
While the hoofs of his charger
Made comets of fire
Bewitching all eyes
Behold them

Lord of the Ages, nobody knows
Wether he goes, nobody knows

Below a dark forest in caves of black granite
The children of darkness dwelled in oblivion
Betraying one another in endless confusion
But the Lord of the Dark had bewitched them
From times first creation
The wise men and prophets
And all workers of magic
Had warned of the wreckoning
The wind and the fire
And the plague of destruction that follows the path
Of evil

Lord of the Ages, nobody knows
Wether he goes, nobody knows

Far above the wide oceans and thundering rivers
Through the sun and the rain
And the turn of the seasons
Rode the god of all knowing
While all around him celestial companions
Friends from the void before time was woven
Honour his crown with words of white fire
And carry his robes of light

Wether he goes, Nobody knows

But in the peace of a valley
A young child was born
Filling the night with his crying
And an old man gave thanks to the Lord of the Ages,
Whose battle is not with innosence
But the birds of the air were silent
Knowing the time had come
When time is forgotten
The waters were stilled
The mountains stood empty
But the cities were deaf
Long long ago


Enough, cried a voice and the earth was awaking
Poor and the rich felt the brink of the fire
Death and destruction rode out together
Turning the world to a funeral pyre

It was the lord of the ages
Gathering in the harvest
I thank the lord of the ages
Gathering in the harvest (repeats)

Gathering in the harvest (repeats)
And from the blood and the thunder of men and their dying
His eyes dark with sorrow
The lord of the Ages
Gathered in his harvest

But to the old and helpless
The weak and the humble
To the children of light
His words of compassion
Breathed on them gently
Resolving the darkness across the great valley that rumbled with fire
And from the death and destruction
The lord of the Ages
Carried the fruit of the harvest
To freedom

Lord of the ages, nobody knows
Wether he goes, nobody knows

I ain't got no mama now
I ain't got no mama now
She told me late last night, "You don't need no mama no how"

Mmm, mmm, black snake crawlin' in my room
Mmm, mmm, black snake crawlin' in my room
Some pretty mama better come and get this black snake soon

Ohh-oh, that must have been a bed bug, baby a chinch can't bite that hard
Ohh-oh, that must have been a bed bug, honey a chinch can't bite that hard
Ask my sugar for fifty cents, she said "Lemon, ain't a child in the yard"

Mama, that's all right, mama that's all right for you
Mama, that's all right, mama that's all right for you
Mama, that's all right, most seen all you do

Mmm, mmm, what's the matter now?
Mmm, mmm, honey what's the matter now?
Sugar, what's the matter, don't like no black snake no how

Mmm, mmm, wonder where my black snake gone?
Mmm, mmm, wonder where this black snake gone?
Black snake mama done run my darlin' home

Hey Joe was originally a folk song from the South (USA). Jimi Hendrix made it famous and it has since been recorded by just about every band worth mentioning. ZZ Top, the Byrds, Led Zeppelin, The Marmalade, The Who - too many to mention. here is a completely different version by Deep Purple. (and playlist with 28 covers)

Grand Funk Railroad plays the Rolling Stones number "Gimme Shelter". Heavy Metal was the craze in the 70's.

How do you know that a song is truly great? They just don't write songs like this anymore.

A vintage? You require a quest through the musical ages to establish an example of a song that had soul and rudimentary armour.
To re-visit a grass roots classic musical chord by chord, stripped down to the bone as it were, is a treat of a kind I can’t describe.

“ He who knows it feels it!”

Bob Marley and Peter Tosh: Soon Come: 1978

“Everytime I call, they tell me that you're soon come
I call you at your home, they tell me that you're soon come
I don't like hanging around or to be pushed around
I've got feelings for you know
I don't like the soon come
I call you on the phone, they tell me that you're soon come
I even call you at your home, they tell me that you're soon come
I don't like hanging around or to be pushed around
I've got feelings for you know
I don't like the soon come.”

I still love playing this Bach-inspired song by Procul Harum. An anthem indeed!

Wikipedia: "A Whiter Shade of Pale" is the debut single by the English rock band Procol Harum, released 12 May 1967. One of the anthems of the 1967 Summer of Love, it is one of fewer than 30 singles to have sold over 10 million copies worldwide.[3]
With its haunting Bach-derived instrumental melody, soulful vocals, and unusual lyrics—"A Whiter Shade of Pale" reached No. 1 in several countries when released in 1967. In the years since, it has become an enduring classic. It was the most played song in the last 75 years in public places in the UK (as of 2009),[5] and the United Kingdom performing rights group Phonographic Performance Limited in 2004 recognised it as the most-played record by British broadcasting of the past 70 years.[6] Also in 2004, Rolling Stone placed "A Whiter Shade of Pale" No. 57 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
In 1977, the song was named joint winner (along with Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody") of the Best British Pop Single 1952–1977 at the Brit Awards.[7] In 1998 the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.[8] More than 1000 recorded cover versions by other artists are known.[9] The song has been included in many music compilations over the decades and has also been used in the soundtracks of numerous films, including The Big Chill, Purple Haze, Breaking the Waves, The Boat That Rocked and notably in Martin Scorsese's segment of New York Stories. Cover versions of the song have also been featured in many films, for example by King Curtis in Withnail and I and by Annie Lennox in The Net.

Remember the Durban Blues Festival!! Zacks @ Wilson's Wharf (at the South West end of the harbour for you land lubbers - that's near the sugar terminals, dude.)



Unfortunately they will not be there.

One of the best bands ever! This South African band was so progressive, they made their own sound boxes as the equipment did not even exist at the time! They wrote the first rock opera, but could not get a philharmonic orchestra to play with them. That was even before the Who did Tommy!!

[Blurock]

Mix of township beat, country and rock. Long before Johnny Clegg!! Another great band from South Africa. (Dave Ornellas is now a pastor - Dave you rock!)
