For the record, the first song was the original version of a song that appeared in an ad campaign in the last year or so--and it's been in a 10@10 set, but I can't recall the name--it goes "Ooh hoo, oooh hoo hooo" ad nauseam.

2nd song was Fire on High.

Third song is--my gawd, the Dixie Dregs, with Geoff's pal Andy West on bass. These guys were monsters! Is this Cruise Control, Geoff?

That's Steve Morse, who has had an interesting career post-Dregs. An amazing guitarist, one of the most technically proficient you'll ever see. He later filled in the guitar seat when Kansas reformed, and lately he's been taking Richie Blackmore's role in Deep Purple. And it seems like he's played with a couple of other classic rock reformations. But he also works as an airline pilot when he's not tearin' up the frets.

Me too, I thought this is possibly Beck or else someone doing an inspired hommage.

Ooooh, another BOS for the ABB.  Sweet sounds.  But I prefer the version on the Dreams compilation that restoed the bass line.

I wasn't listening that close.  Andy is a close friend, but I've never been a Dregs fan that much.  When he used to play at our booth at the NAMM show (musical instrument trade show), fans would come up and shout "Cruise Control" at him!

I read in an interview that he was quite poor growing up & had a really crappy little AM radio which made the guitars sound like his bass does in this song.  So that was always how the music souded in his head & thus how it came out when he played.

Kind of like finding out that VanGogh & Monet painted the way they did because they actually saw things that way, due to eyesight problems.

I'll try, but can't promise.

The answer I was looking for with the trivia question is that all (Morse, Metheny, & Jaco) were graduates (or at least attended--Jaco may not have graduated) of the jazz program at University of Miami. Lots of great players came out of that school--Dregs drummer Rod Morgenstein went there as well, and I think Mike Stern did too.

When Dave distinguished the dance calls from "singing," he called the former a "totally different head," a reference to a "Square Pegs" clip he often plays in 1982.  ("Are you punk?"  "No. Way.  I'm New Wave.  Totally different head.  Totally.")

Listening to the instrumental set again this morning (kicking off the marathon, I assume), I find myself wishing Herb Alpert's "A Taste of Honey" had been in the set instead of only being used in the back-announce.  I don't win cool points for saying this, but I love a lot of Herb's '60s output.

Post by: urth on June 11, 2005, 01:45:20 PM
Just checking thru the archives to compare yesterday's Strictly Instrumental with a couple I have from past dates. Both of the previous ones have two songs in common with yesterday's set: Slaughter on 10th Avenue and Hang 'Em High in one, Fire on High and The Woo Hoo Song (although not the original version we heard yesterday) in the other.

And also significant: yesterday's was the second Strictly Instrumental set we've heard in 2005--there was one barely two months ago, in early April. If this means that the SI theme is returning to popularity, we ought to start coming up with a few new suggestions to keep the genre fresh. And I don't think they have to be too Strictly Instrumental. Madison Time notwithstanding, if ELO's Fire on High (which has a chorus in the background repeating the title phrase numerous times) qualifies, then I would think something like the Young Fresh Fellows' Taco Wagon (which appeared in a food theme set last year) would make it too.

And yes, 'shray, last night's set is in the queue to be archived.

I've always thought so too, but I coulda sworn it already came up in our rambling discussions before this.  Oh well.

On a different note, I'm off to Seattle in a short while, probably hear today's set while driving over to OAK.  Back late tomorrow night.  I am invited to the Microsoft XBox 360 Summit, their big roll-out.  Urth, I have to imagine there will be a contingent from CNet there as well.  And Gaz, you remember meeting my friend Steve, I'll be crashing at his house tonight (but not his houseboat).

Cool! Give Steve my greetings!  Very cool guy.  Also, if you meet a Microsoft guy named Geordie Wilson, tell him I said hi (I met him in my sole visit to the MS campus; he gave me an extended demo on the then-latest iteration of Windows Media Player for Digital Music Weekly).

Hmmm. I suppose we may have someone there, although it's more likely someone from our sister site, Gamespot. We did give the 360 some big coverage in our E3 (big gaming trade show in LA) package a couple of weeks back. Anyway--have fun up north & check in here when you can.

On a different note, I'm off to Seattle in a short while, probably hear today's set while driving over to OAK.  Back late tomorrow night.  I am invited to the Microsoft XBox 360 Summit, their big roll-out.  Urth, I have to imagine there will be a contingent from CNet there as well.  And Gaz, you remember meeting my friend Steve, I'll be crashing at his house tonight (but not his houseboat).

See y'all on Wed.


Cool! Give Steve my greetings!  Very cool guy.  Also, if you meet a Microsoft guy named Geordie Wilson, tell him I said hi (I met him in my sole visit to the MS campus; he gave me an extended demo on the then-latest iteration of Windows Media Player for Digital Music Weekly).


I'll definitely say Hi to Steve for you & I'll an eye out for Geordie.

Gotta go now.
