“Looking forward to checking out your links.”

You’ll find a pretty wide variety of music in my links. I love everything from Mongolian Throat singing, to Country and Blues. I have recorded with “Shredder” guitarists. The only music I can’t stand is Opera. Frank Zappa was a acquaintance of mine, I mostly play guitar in this style;

This must have been where they told Charlie Manson to go ahead and start killing to get the race war going.

Any opinion on Lejaren Hiller?

From Wikipedia:

Three promotional films were made for the song; directed by McCartney, they were filmed on 10 November at the Saville Theatre in London. The films were not aired by the BBC due to the Musicians Union's strict rules on miming; with no such restriction in the US, one of the films was screened on The Ed Sullivan Show on 26 November.[7]

The videos feature The Beatles wearing their Sgt. Pepper uniforms with hula girls dancing about; it was also the last time they wore their 1963 grey Merseybeat suits. The video also shows a clean shaven Lennon without his granny glasses; McCartney is clean shaven as well.

Done with purposeful humor in mind.

Welk had a "wicked sense of humor"

I'd heard that his license plate read 'A 1 NA 2"

View the movie Help and scout it for red-eyes if that is your criteria. The Beatles themselves said there were constantly smoking pot on the set of that film. The other actors on the film found them unprofessional in being unable to deliver a scene’s worth of lines without interruption.

"...scout it for red-eyes if that is your criteria [sic]..."

Okay, first, the basics. You write like a third-grader, so I'll assume the worst. You meant to say "search for red eyes if that is your criterion." "Criteria" is the plural of "criterion." You, for some reason, listed only one of the several criteria that I did.

It is possible to use Visine or some other intense ocular vaso-constrictor to combat pot-generated "red-eye." It will not, however, cure the glassy, bug-eyed squint that weed also produces. It merely "gets the red out."

After 30 years of playing in rock bands, etc., ('60's to the '90's), I'm an expert on recognizing the telltale signs of the usage of virtually any and every drug known to man. Save your BS for the kids at your elementary school who might be impressed by it.

That dog is just a no-count mutt in this junkyard. And he surely don't hunt.

Thanks for sharing, Dr.

I don’t find the music scary at all. But that could be due to a life time of living around musicians who seemed to spend endless hours experimenting with different sounds and ultimately incorporating them into a musical composition. In the “old” days some pretty strange sounds were made with some pretty very day devices. Then, with the advent of more advanced electronic gear...well I’m sure you know the rest of that story!

I think I read in an earlier post that you hear music as a whole. I’m just the opposite. I seem to hear each instrument separately. So when these sounds would be incorporated into a musical piece I could always identify the drip of water, elongated, sped up and lowered several octaves, lol.

Thanks again for sharing.
