Mon 4/4/05 -- it's Strictly Instrumental!

[RGMike]

First time in ages. Dave's soliciting suggestions via email.  Apparently he's unearthed the demo version of "Telstar".

If it's Joe Meek's demo, it's one of the most tone-deaf, unlistenable creations in history.  (Yes, I own a copy.)

But it's been a long time since Dave went Strictly Instrumental, so I shan't complain.  Glad to not have reminders of the MLK assassination, at any rate.  I'll put in initial hope for Paul Mauriat's "Love Is Blue" and the Electric Indian's "Keem-O-Sabe."

Y'know what would be cool? The New York Dolls' cover of "The Courageous cat Theme".

This is the most predictable (not bad, just predictable) instrumental, so now we can look forward to some surprises.

Good start with "Classical Gas", but I'd be most impressed if he followed it up with "It's a Gas".  But then, nobody would have voted for that one.

[mshray]

I'm mildly surprised that a whole bunch of Fogheads voted for "Scottish Tea".  I thought that was strictly a Dave-fave.

You mean the Mad Magazine thing with the burps?  They played that on Oldies 1510 this weekend!

You're assuming Dave is scrupulously honest about vote-counting? :wink:

but if Dave wanted to make my day, he'd have played "Hibernation" off the Double Live Gonzo album.

Yep, that's what I was thinking of.  Didn't know it had anything to do with Mad Magazine, but it makes sense.

And Scottish Tea at #2. Just the thing for a case of Classical Gas.

I'm betting we get Ronnie Montrose's Town Without Pity before it's all over.

Ladies & Gentlemen, the SHORT version.

If Dave is going to play "Fire On High" in a set that by definition has no commercials, movie clips or news, then he should damn-well play the full intro.

[Beej]

I'm kinda bored. Not by you guys! By the music.

I'd never heard it before, but they said it started out as one of those flexi-discs inside an issue of Mad. One of the musicians on it is sax great King Curtis.

If there was a big crossover of Bone listeners this morning, then maybe.  I bet we get some Jeff Beck & fer sure some Stevie Ray.

Any chance of a jazz ringer, like "Birdland" or "Take Five" or "Cast Your Fate To The Wind"?
