Shanty.
"I'm gonna lay around the shanty, mama, and get a good buzz on..."

Kind of a dumb song, but WBCN played it a lot in their prime.
I had a friend who played a gig at a biker bar. The band was involved in long
bluesy jams, and just playing what they wanted, but some fellow in leather
reeled up and requested that they play "Shanty."
The guitarist snickered and said "Yeah, right, OK, here's Shanty" and the band
proceeded to go off into the blues stratosphere again for another 8 or 9
minutes. The gentleman who made the original request stormed up looking like
he had just been bitten by a rabid dog. He was holding up a beer bottle.
   "When I say I wanna hear Shanty," and now he busted the bottle and
 held up the broken neck close to the guitarist, "I WANNA HEAR SHANTY!!!"
   The band quickly took a break and were cowering in the locked dressing
 room frantically working out lyrics and chord changes. Either they did a
 passable job or the requestor passeed out in the meantime, for the rest of the
 gig transpired without further incident.

 The moral, I guess, is to learn Shanty before you play a gig in certain bars.

Yes, Virginia went for Bush.  Virginia is now a lock for Republican Presi-
dential candidates for several reasons:

1) After voting for Wallace in '68, many "Yellow-dog Democrats" (you know, if
   the Democrats ran a yellow dog, they'd vote for him) discovered that they
   didn't fall down dead just 'cuz they'd voted for a non-Democratic candidate.
   This was the beginning of the end for the "solid South."  Trivia question
   for extra credit:  Why was the South a one-party bastion for so long?

2) One word: military.  Between all the active-duty military personnel (Hampton
   Roads and the Northern Virginia suburbs of D.C.) and military retirees (we
   have more than any other state) you've got a solid chunk of the Virginia
   electorate.  These folks are probably more wary of Clinton than other
   groups.

3) Urban/Suburban sprawl.  In the past 12 years (since I moved here) there
   have been _big_ changes in the demographics of Virginia.  For one thing,
   there are now more voters in Virginia who were not born/raised here than
   who were.  For another, there are now more suburban voters in Virginia
   than either urban or rural.  All these changes create an electorate that
   is more Republican/Independent than it once was.

Having said all that, we've elected three Democratic Governors in a row.
Go figure!

I'm sorry I missed Roy Blount.  I, too, hope that "Don't Stop Thinking About
Tomorrow" doesn't become the anthem of Slick/Red Willie's administration.  I
vote either for "Truckin'" (Tipper is a Dead fan, plus Bob Edwards on NPR
summed up the '92 campaign this morning by saying "What a long, strange trip
it's been") or for "Cheeseburger in Paradise" (Jimmy Buffet, in a recent
interview on NPR said that he's "proud to be a representative of the bald-spot
generation").

Meant to post this yesterday, but didn't the chance.  Yesterday (Nov. 10)
was the 509th anniversary of the birth of Martin Luther (b. 1483).

OMC: Luther wrote the words to "A Mighty Fortress (Ein Feste' Burg)."
     Did he also write the music?

OLC (Obligatory Linguistics Content): "Mighty" is actually a poor translation
    of "feste," which is a direct cognate of English "fast," as in to fasten,
    or to make secure.  However, "mighty" has the advantage of having two
    syllables.

Glad to see that John Stewart is still alive and well and kicking...
Went to see him last night in a *small* venue here in Dublin where
he's publicising his new "Bullets.." album.

He was brilliant as always (though I must confess to enjoying his last gig
here better, when he played as part of "4 from Texas" (the other three
being Townes Van Zandt, Peter Rowan and Guy Clarke. A truly awesome
lineup). Now *that* was the mother of all gigs !)

He played a good selection of the oldies, with a great version of
"Mother Country", and is still getting good mileage out of "Daydream Believer"
which was part of his encore set. He also played a representative sampling
of the new album, which sounds like it's worth getting. Also a fair number
of stuff from his (literally) garage tapes, a collection of which he also
released recently.

His wife Buffie (who is either a quantum physics freak or a love-your-
neighbour type [on account of all the truth/beauty etc badges she was
sporting]) sang on some numbers, and they were accompanied on bass by
their son Luke, who looked about 10 and acquitted himself admirably.

You're right.  Anyone can learn to play like Page did, licks and all, but
no one can reach Hendrix and his stuff.  However, more people seem to
whip out Zep stuff at jam sessions than Hendrix's stuff, so who's
to say?  :) :) :)  I like both, despite the shortcomings of Page's
guitarwork in the later years.  Zep is good jam music.  Unless you are
really good, playing Hendrix on the guitar is taboo around here.

I agree i hate hearing someone try to cover Hendrix and 99% of the time they
thrash it..I'm not anti-Zep or Page, i just don't think neither are legends and
their song stealing is unforgiving and they were talented enuff to where that
was not needed. They probally did have a big influence on some of todays music
Pgae was hell on the production end. MY favorite Zep song is I got a

Laura-
I wish I could help, but I can't. If no one else can tell you, I'll got to
the bookstore and look it up in the "biography". I thought you should
know....PDQ Bach is not a "they", it's a "he". Actually, he's an imaginary
character/pseudonym made up by the incredibly talented Professor Peter
Schickele (Did I spell that right, Rick?) Schickele has also written som
"serious" pieces in his own name and they are quite good. I think his best
stuff is written as PDQ. According to the biography, PDQ is an
oft-forgotten (on purpose) bastard sibling of JS Bach, CPE Bach, and the
rest of the mishpocha. (If you don't know what that means, ask Sonia.) I
will have to go out now and get the bio in order to give you more info than
that. Does anyone out there have it and want ot save me the $13 ? In any
case, I'm sure somebody on this crazy list will know...

My high school music teacher was a real PDQ fan...In college he was in
a production of "The Stoned Guest" (as the dog)...and he'd bring in his
records, so I got to hear a fair amount of PDQ.  For the senior variety
show, a friend of mine and I did "Please, Kind Sir", one of the Ground
Rounds.  The audience loved it.

I also like the pieces that he put on the Bach albums that he claimed
to have written, like "The Unbegun Symphony" and the "Quodlibet",
which are all pieces of different kinds of music put together in
unusual way (for instance, "The 1812 Overture" and "You Are My Sunshine"
played at the same time--sounds surprisingly good!).  At one time in
the Quodlibet, he has (I think) eleven seperate melodies going at the
same time.  Amazing stuff.

And of course, for those of you who enjoy both classical music and
football, there's Schickele's famous "New Horizons in Music Theory:
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony", which parodies both.

Gee, now I'm going to have to go home and listen to all of my
