Arise... The name reminds me of the little Baptist church around the corner from my old house. They could never seem to get their messaging quite right. They renamed it the "Arise Baptist Church"...

Glad to hear all your opinions! Please don't think I'm ready to open my wrists over people not liking old music. I really don't think anyone is missing Tony Bennett or Glenn Miller - But I actually...
I just saw a PBS show with Billy strings in concert. He calls his music progressive Bluegrass. Bought One of his disks and sure enough, he's got some great 6+ minute songs that are prog in nature. ...
The fact that they could sync it up shows an incredible amount of consistency from the players. They must have played to a click when they played live...
Me too... What's new and worth giving a shot?
Since 2019, I have been playing almost exclusively on the streets of local Texas towns and cities. I play 60's 70's and 80's music. Some fairly deep tracks, some prog, but mostly the old FM format...
the Overwhelming majority of Christian bands use "bumper sticker" lyrical themes. I find that Neal does some of that, but on occasion his lyrics transcend the overtly obvious "selling points", and...
I could never get past the audio quality of Tormato. It was just too badly produced. drums sound like they are made of cardboard. Almost no low end at all... and that's just stupid, considering it...
I love a long yarn... If its interesting. I'll give it a shot. If I can get it in an E-book
I'm looking for good escape book recomendations - Scifi/fantasy? Perhaps a good Historically based Novel?
Wow, its been a few years since I logged on here. I just kind of wandered off... Lots to catch up on. Started playing on the streets and haven't had much time for posting/reading.
I bet I've...
Nice to hear from Geddy. Even though its a bit outdated. I take it he's still not making any new music?
The Butterfly man - Arena Chills all around.
Wow, thanks for the nice comments and the suggestions... I've ordered that book. I have the show pretty well down, but how to present it as a commodity - or at least to get gigs set up and...
When I was in Sedona a few months back, I saw a local band of young musicians (in their 20's) playing in a restaurant and they were playing only old 70's songs. They performed Elizabeth Reed, ...
I will! Thanks for the tip. I already have plans to head to Pensacola beach this early spring. There is a great outdoor place on the bayside that has a clamshell theater with seating for quite a...
Does Balmy intimate high humidity? - Not sure I knew that. Sorry, I meant just a perfect temperate evening. Of course, it also means "nuts" and perhaps the term can be interpreted more broadly......
I thought I'd post an update here, now that its been a couple years of playing live again.... This is taken on Route 66 in Kingman AZ. I have been playing places between Fort Worth and Kingman now...
Definitely a great album. Understand, these guys have a very strong pop-sensibility. Nothing wrong with that, especially the ends product is well beyond almost anything pop out there.
The only...
Love this album. I like a lot of Moodies stuff, but this is one I can listen to from top to bottom. I cant say that about any other Moody album. I play two songs off this album when I play on the...
I play a few Dead songs on the streets,(Texas, NM and AZ) and only occasionally do I see someone who nods their head and smiles in recognition. Almost all of those people look like they are on...
Dont forget Spinal Tap
Oh wow, I played (or practiced) in a band for a week or so with Geoff right before he joined the Ryche... He has a awesome voice. You didnt happen to go to school with a Matt Bazemore did you? I...
A nod from Geddy??? Awesome! I'll have to try that at my next Rush con...., Oh, wait.... Damn!
What surprises me about the whole pandemic thing is that its so different depending on where you are. Here in North Texas, the virus is nowhere to be found. Saw my doc last week and he says he...
Vaaat a Vooman!!! Hang on to this one!!!
I picked up Traveling music: The soundtrack to my life - Neil Peart (after he passed). I Finally got around to start reading it. So far its a lot like his other books, more about places than music....
That was funny. No Woman ever got pregnant listening to Rush. I'm a huge Rush fan and raised 7 kids... My Wife still cringes when she hears it. She did watch a good portion of Beyond the lighted...
OK I'm posting a picture of the car. It is a mess. I definitely owe Lexus a big thanks for making a really well built car. I'm still amazed I walked away when I look at the car. People dont...
I will ask the guy I first heard it from for more details. He mentioned there was some pretty significant evidence for the rumor. I Imagine that Geddy and Alex would probably be playing with a few...
I really enjoy Ricks videos and I do learn stuff from him.
My elbow is a constant ache. My neck and back are doing better, I am able to sleep and I'm still on a fairly high dose of Ibuprofen. When I dont take it I know it. My right eye is blackened badly...
I almost became a member of the ex-breathing PE members club last saturday, I was on my way to Kingman to visit my daughters who recently moved there. During a snowstorm on 40 a semi jacknifed right...
I have heard from 2 separate sources that Alex and Geddy have been jamming with Alex Van Halen. Anyone heard that? THey were both Texas sources so it could just be one liar who started the whole...
When you're a little guy, all Herons look six feet tall.
I listen to alot of his Videos, I d not understand his what makes this song great videos when he strays into more modern music. To me there is nothing great about almost anything on the charts, so...
All my music heroes are passing away, Anything more I can hear from them I would love. It doesnt even have to be music necessarily, Interviews are also very appreciated. Funny I see myself kind of...
This is a long awaited message from the boys. I still mourn over Neils death. Such brilliant lyrics... Such a loss, tragic that he had such a short retirement. Its weird how retirement seems to...
Do any of you know how to get some relief? Its so persistent, not getting better. I'm surprised you had it Duncan. I do find that asper cream seems to help just a bit, but man, Nerve pain is...
The Hollies - Long Cool Woman - I thought the words were "Sitting in a nest with Batman, Whiskey bottles piled up high.." I had this picture in my head of Robin sitting in a nest, getting loaded...
I seldom listen to an actual CD. I've ripped all mine and listen on my phone. I have stacks and stacks of CD's that I've removed from the covers and discarded the covers. My eyesight is poor...
I am 61. and I just spent 5 days in agony. Seems I have a "minor" flair up of shingles. I had no idea It would affect me, and I' about 5 years ahead of the normal. I do have to say, that as far a...
Wow cheers to all you who've commented... Yeah I think I found my place in the sun. Not perfect, but absolutely the best time I ever had playing. Ive been traveling with family for this week and...
Good. I have a town nearby that seems to really support live music. Lots of places to play at if you like doing that. I just go down to the courthouse and plug in and play - and I usually do fairly...
So, have you noticed that food tastes different? That was what gave me the idea that I needed to be tested. I had very few other symptoms, but food kind of had a metalic flavor to it. Nothing...
I'm having issues just learning the first and second position Pentatonic scale. Its not something that comes natural to me. I have an OK ear, but that means I hate what I'm hearing. I will have to...
Drums are excellent therapy. After a stressful day I go out to my studio and bang away... seems to make the crap of a day job just fade away.
Anyone have any suggestions on where to go to learn how to play leads on acoustic guitar? I've been polishing up my skills on just playing chords for the past 2 years and I'm ready to start learning...
Its a later model - they said it had been in the store 4-5 years and had gotten a bit beat up. I myself didn't see much in the way of wear. I'm not sure of the model, they said it's Mexican. But it...
Wow, I had forgotten about this thread.
I have started playing again. On the street, didnt even put out a tip jar until someone brought me one and said I needed to have one. So there's this...
Just bought a brand new Fender Jazz Bass last night. I sat down at the music store and played it. It felt like magic in my hands. I had to have it, so, I bought it. Unbelievably affordable too,...
I'm gonna hit the streets in the city and play whatever I want.
THat is so cool. I do hope both Alex and Geddy can produce some great music again. THey sure ended on a high note with Clockwork... It would be nice to hear something new from them. Either together...
Keep in mind that a million play song for an artist generates about $1200 in revenue. So you are really not doing much to support the artists by subscribing. Most artists see absolutely nothing from...
Nice interview. I had no idea Jon was friends with The guy from the Foo Fighters. Small world
Wow his voice is much better there than when I heard him on air on the Kim Mitchell show. Lots better. That was pathetic. This is not pathetic.
So, are there going to be any more films? I cant imagine Disney spent the incredible piles of cash for that pittance of tired storylines. I enjoyed all the sw movies - its just s nice escape. I'll...
That may jibe with my blood test results. The Doctor was pretty positive I had the virus, but no sign of antibodies. Who knows? The story changes.
Still amazed that the CCP is getting a free...
I really enjoy what these musicians do, regardless of who is "collaborating". Some of the sameness in Neal's lyrical content is unavoidable, given his output of material. Limited to one subject......
Watching this makes me realize that maybe I do need the entire multi-disk everything package. Man, these guys were on another planet. Nice to see Rachel Flowers grinding it out.
