Can I believe the magic of your size?
« on: January 21, 2005, 02:58:23 PM »
Who sings the backing vox on Carole King's Tapestry rendition of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?"  I thought I heard James Taylor on the bridge but I don't know who else is there.  Just heard it on DDT, after switching over from an AMAZING Capital Gold soul spectrum.

per Ms King's website:

Piano & Vocals: Carole King
String Bass: Charles Larkey
Acoustic Guitar: Danny "Kootch" Kortchmar
Acoustic Guitar & Granfalloon: James Taylor
Drums: Russ Kunkel

Backing Vocals: "The Mitchell/Taylor Boy & Girl Choir"

Does that mean Joni Mitchell & James Taylor? or was there really such a thing?

Ya just missed Tom Jones's "Mama Told Me Not To Come" on the CG rock show.

Is this Cream fresh?

Or has it turned?

Can't quite believe what Mike Sweeny just said on CG--that Clapton, Bruce, and Baker are going to reform and play four dates as Cream at the Royal Albert Hall in May. Supposedly those will be the only dates they will do, period. At least until Clear Channel waves seven figures in front of each of them.

CG has been talking this up for several weeks. I agree -- I'll be more impressed if they do 4 shows AND ONLY 4. If it turns into a US arena tour it'll be just another exorbitantly priced payday.

I liked Clapton's comment, that he's done everything he can possibly do, solo-wise. No shit, slowhand!

I confess to a bit of curiousity myself, but I shudder to think how much tix would be (particularly given the exchange rate) for that show. And the Royal Albert Hall is, relatively speaking, not that big. Maybe 5K capacity. So (just for comparison's sake) it's not even half as big as Oakland Arena, less than a quarter as big as Snoreline. Great if you get a ticket, but many fewer to be had.

Right now I'm more concerned with getting a decent pair for the Elvis Costello show at the Paramount in March. Tix on sale Sunday @ $60+disservice charge each, and right now even that seems a little steep for my wallet.

"Granfalloon" is a Kurt Vonnegut word:

"One of the basic concepts of Bokononism, the secretive island religion of Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle, is that of a granfalloon. A granfalloon is a recognized grouping of people that, underneath it all, has no real meaning. The prototypical granfaloon in Vonnegut's book is Hoosiers: the main character of the book finds himself journeying to an island nation in the company of fellow Indianans, but other than the fact that they hail from the same state they have no significance in each other's lives."

Discuss amongst yourselves...
