" Talk Back Trembling Lips " was a Country hit for Ernie Ashworth many years ago. It turns out that it was also a Pop hit for Johnny Tillotson back in the 1950's ( He also had out " Poetry In Motion ", Without You ", It keeps Right On A Hurtin " etc ).
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones or who ? ( or even the Who ? )

Christmas has arrived and most of us hope to get some presents. Well on this date back in 1976 we did get a very very nice present. That was when The Eagles released " Hotel California " ( a true favourite of mine ).

Different strokes & all that: "Hotel California" is my LEAST favorite Eagles song.

A gift which continues giving. Even today.

A true pioneer of Rock & Roll has passed away. Phil Everly of that legendary duo was 74. The Beatles at one time called themselves the " English Everly Brothers ".
Turn ! Turn ! Turn ! ( To Everything There Is a Season ). A hit For " The Byrds " in 1965 but adapted and arranged by Pete Seeger. Pete was a Folk Singer in the old days having been a member of " The Weavers " back in 1948, and has just passed away at age 94.
Yes, I saw the news about Pete Seeger just a few minutes ago. Truthfully, I hadn't even realized he was still around, as it's been a while since I've read much of him. I recall as a little kid (early 60s) listening to a lot of Weavers played by my mother on our stereo.
He's nominated for a grammy this year.
His old lady died a couple months ago.

Thanks for the new posts.
Seeger had a show on Cable TV many years ago ( back in the black and white picture days ). There are some nice clips from that show over on Youtube.
The British Are Coming ! The British Are Coming !
In reality they arrived 50 years ago. Yes it was 50 years this weekend that The Beatles came to New York and also appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show ( & the British Invasion was on ).

--- Yes it was 50 years ago Wow !
Recently I have been listening more to the 40s Channel here. They play a fair amount of older Jazz as well as some Blues featuring Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, the Mills Brothers, Louis Jordan, etc etc. One song that took me by surprise is " Ain't Nobody Here But Us ... " done by Jordan in 1947 but remembered by a lot of us as being a hit again by someone else many years later ( we learn something new every day lol ).
Lol
Just finished watching old footage of a Who live performance from the 70's
Camera picks up Daltry, Townsend, and Moon perfectly. But you can't see Entwhistle at all, behind the amps.
Instead of Who's on first? For rock it could be Who's on bass???
What's on keyboard. And Idon'tknow's playing tamborine.
I heard that Entwhistle didn't care about any notoriety. I also heard that his great riff on "The Real Me" was supposed to be a rehearsal, but the others made it the take, because they loved it.
I met a cousin of John a few years ago, and he said, flatly, " John was a drug addict". It struck me that those would be his first words-as if he was disowned.
The Who was a band that was incredibly talented. If anyone were to make a list of bands with talent, they would be at or near the top of it.
Yeah.
Just cracks me up, the way the bass player always gets dissed. My friend plays bass, and those things irk him to no end.
He even flat-out refused to go see Page/Plant, because John Paul Jones wouldn't be there.
Hmmm, makes no sense. Your friend plays in a band and is always dissed? Maybe he's in the wrong band. The story of how The Who made the rehearsal the song is a testament to John.
Maybe your friend isn't a good musician?
Entwistle was almost always the stoic on stage regardless of whatever riot might be going on with the rest of the gang. A real contrast, especially compared to Pete with his windmills and amazing leaps and scissor-kicks and spins (all while wearing Doc Martens), and Daltrey whipping his microphone around at Mach 1.
Of course, Townshend's latest book provides more stories that Entwistle wasn't quite so quiet off stage-- he was usually the one accompanying Moon on his carousals. 
AndyC. Sorry to hear that Cher got mad at you & your step-brotyher, based on recent events she may have been right about Letterman tho lol.
Uh-oh, I missed this. What's the scoop?
--- Dave thought that he was the twin of Tiger Woods and chased every girl that he saw, even after he got married. Mind you Letterman's wife is giving him a second chance.
