I'm genuinely curious:  what exactly do you find weird & wacky about this?
Unusual, possibly, & definitely good, but the antecedents seem straightforward.
Or is it just that there are *so* many antecedents Bela & the 'Tones use?

There's an EP called the Power of Lard w/ "The Power of Lard,"
"Hellfudge," and "Time to Melt."

"Power of Lard" is surrealist lyrics over straight hardcore punk -
    "The next time we have sex, just pretend that I'm Ed Meese"

"Hellfudge" is a premonition of what Buck Satan and the 666-Shooters
will sound like. It is a deliberate slam on Swaggert. "Goodness Gracius
Great balls of fire - But don't let my brother find out!"

"Time to Melt" is a long painful durge. "Too tired to masterbate..."

The full album is "Last Temptation of Reid," and it has (among many
others) a cover of "They're coming to take me away" by Napolean XIV
and a great song called "Drug Raid at 4 a.m." The new one is waiting
for Jello to finish his rants and should be out by xmas.

Russ: all the freewheeling net-talk reminded me of an idea I had with my
last band, but we never got it together: Try doing Bo Diddley's "Who Do
You Love", and then blend right into the Who's "Magic Bus" It works!!

I'm currently fascinated by a tune on the Arc Angels album, "Sent by Angels".
It has a strong vocal, and a nice organ part, but the guitar is the main focus.

Also, how about "True Religion" by Hot Tuna, off their Burgers album:
"gonna get me a shotgun, one with 3 round balls, shoot anybody I don't like
at all, like at all..."

Let's see what else? how about "Rattlesnake Shake" by old Fleetwood Mac - that
would fit your power trio kind of setup. I'll work on some more.

p.s. my next band is gonna do the Arc Angels song, followed by Feat's "Easy
to Slip"- our red-headed female singer ought to kill 'em.

all for now....
               ... walt ...

I lied: how about "Close To You Baby" by Willie Dixon, but done with stop time
a la the Doors live at the Hollywood Bowl. My last band worked this one out
with critical success. bye (for real)

>(1) Who is Bob Marigold(?) a guitar player but i can't remember where i've

 I bet you mean Bob Margolin. He's a guitar player, all right, he's from
 Chicago, and he put in some serious time in Muddy Waters' band. He
 performed with Muddy the only time I ever saw the great man. After Muddy
 passed away, Margolin took his own group- which included a few alumni
 from the Waters band- on the road, covering blues standards and a few of
 Muddy's classics ("Mannish Boy", etc). Margolin sings in a deep throaty
 growl, which suits the material pretty well. But he can definitely play
 the guitar. Maybe not up to the level of Bloomfield (another Chicago boy),
 but pretty good. He's put in plenty of time on the road and in blues joints;
 he's got the music in his blood. Don't know what he's done lately; it's been
 a good nine or ten years since I've seen his act. Maybe he's working the
 clubs in Chicago.

 Talking about white blues players like Margolin leads neatly into another
 part of Leonard's post... I've read the responses so far and as usual, Sonia
 said it best. Can white people relate to the blues, as a feeling? Sure. I
 think everybody- rich, poor, black, white, anything- can have the blues. It's
 part of being human. Can whites play the blues; that is play the blues AS
 the blues, not simply as a musical style but as an authentic way of life?
 Absolutely. A guy like Margolin has spent his life among bluesmen, learning
 how to play, exploring the tradition, finally gaining respect as one of them.
 Mike Bloomfield's life was as tragic as some of the blues greats of the
 earlier years. Clapton, as far as I'm concerned, the only time he's honest
 musically is when he plays the blues. He's been there, he's done that, and
 yet he can't escape it, it's within him now. And how about the incredible
 Johnny Otis?

 Is it impossible to be an authentic bluesman/woman today, one whose life
 defines the blues, not just a great blues musician but a true bluesman,
 in the Patton/Wolf/Hooker mold? Was there something about growing up black
 in the Mississippi Delta in the first half of the century (or earlier) that
 cannot be reproduced today? A couple years ago, somebody told me that the
 rappers were the new bluesmen. I don't know if I agreed with him then or now,
 but maybe we won't know the modern-day bluesmen until we recognize 'em.
 Or else the blues was a product of a singular time/context that won't be
 repeated. I guess I'm in the "undecided" column. But the music outlives its
 makers, and that's the important thing.

     Well, I'm a Dave and I'm from B'ham so I'll assume yer referring to me.

Not because I'm so sanctimonious (sp?) as to never enter such a dive (I,
too, have experienced dire periods of loneliness and sexual frustration)
but, because as I said, purple buzz is (only) a little off, and the
clientelle of such enterprises in town would not look kindly on a "funny
"funny looking little faggot" who graced their place of revery and
masturbation.  (While I'm not all that little, I have been described as
funny looking.  A little old lady in Bessemer once called me a "Rock Punker".)
     I have however known people who out of dire circumstances have gone to
work at such establishments of sin and forn-NEE-cation.  These women are
not beautiful as described, but tired worn out people who are working at
the only job the can find and that will pay their bills & feed their kids.

I picked up Eric Clapton's "Unplugged" the other day.  One of the featured
songs is "Alberta."  I "grew" up on the version of this song which appears on
Snooks Eaglin's "That's All Right Mama" (can't remember lable, late 50's
recording).  E.C.'s version is enjoyable, but it just can't live up to Snooks'
version.  Snooks' acoustic work is just incredible (it's a shame he doesn't
record acoustic stuff anymore).   Does anyone out there on the net know whether
"That's All Right Mama" is available on CD or if it is featured on some
compilation CD?  I have the Arhoole anthology "Country Boy in New Orleans"
which features about five tracks from "That's All Right Mama" (and some other
work form his acoustic period), but it does not feature "Alberta."  Any help
in this matter would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Let me remind you that the Police was also a trio, though not really
considered a "power trio" in any case.

Genesis could be a trio, but they always perform with sidemen, so that
don't count.

Rush is a trio, but they've long departed from that "power trio" sound
for a more modern sound.

You don't have to be a "power trio" if you have three people in a band.
If you're clever, you can avoid all the cliches and sound totally
original.

  Well, y'all know what a class act I think ol' Billy RAY be, but
since I've seen this comment twice on the list, I imagine it must be
a new tabloid sensation. Just to set the record straight, ol' Billy
RAY was never a Chippendale's. He was probably the Ashland area's
closest comparable thing, considering the hoards of hickettes which
followed him from Huntington to Portsmouth and back. But as far as I
know, he never had to skin down to his underwear to make the girlies
swoon.
  A rumor that he was once an Elvis impersonator in Atlantic City...
now *that* would be believable...  ;)

sorry let me re-word that i've seen nothing but blues and occasional jazz in
clubs for the last few years. The blues acts usually cover alot of blues
standards and the jazz acts i'm not familiar enuff with jazz to know if they
were doing covers or not. There's nothing wrong with doing covers, i surely
didn't mean that. Everybody pretty much throws in some covers Clapton,Jimi,

so, I'm asking the allmighty Allmusic list:  Name a couple or 3 songs
you'd like to hear covered by some no-name band in a bar.  The kind of
songs that would make you stop your conversation and say "Hey, that's <name

What a cool version.  What a great band!  The best I've ever heard!  These
guys are incredible........".   Ok, let me have 'em.

  It's probably good to remember that's it's a bass/drums/guitar band, with
limited vocal ability, but don't let that get in the way of recommending
the Gregorian Chant in A, if that's what you'd like to hear.

AAE, Art Awareness Ensamble.  Little on the dancy side, but definately
"conscious reggae."

And then maybe we could get some jazz, or country, or something truly diverse.
If they want to advertise it as some great alternative music event, let's make

Bala love,(really cool name there)
    Speed is a pointless pursuit in super digital manipulations (ask
    Carol).  As for neo-classical, the best thing I have ever heard is
    "Do you want to play" by Extreme: the intro and signature lines
    are hilarious AND extremely classic -  had me laughing every
    time I rewound and played it.  The combination of a blues bounce
    with a shift into 4/4 straight ahead modal modulations makes for
    a good working variation thats absolutely incongruous to boot.
    The humor is in the music itself...kind of like the Calvin 'n Hobbs
    cartoon where Calvin and Hobsie are seriously moshing around a
    record player in one frame (in pajamas) and in the other frame
    his mom is blearily sitting up in bed saying "Tell me that's not
    Mozart at 75rpm..."

    So, ya know, the question of speed is moot.  What yer average guitar
    picker does with it is a different story...So that's the question
       "Who is the funniest guitarist, and Why?
