Subject: RE: Ideal line up From: Peter T. Date: 16 Jun 99 - 04:42 PM Rick, it's eerie. Connie Boswell!!!!I keep trying to get people to listen to Connie and the Boswell Sisters without any luck at all! (Sure they say, I've heard of them, like Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy....Arrgh). Ideal lineup: John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals), Ringo Starr (drums, and the occasional vocal), George Martin (producer). Boy would that be a band. Yours, Peter T. |

Subject: RE: Ideal line up From: The Shambles Date: 16 Jun 99 - 07:23 PM It is Eileen Ivers, her of the blue fiddle. Steafan Hannigan does not need anyone else. He can play just about every instrument, all on his own. I like him. |

Subject: RE: Ideal line up From: Captain Swing Date: 17 Jun 99 - 11:04 AM This one will probably only be understood in the UK (if indeed anywhwere) Stanley Unwin and John Noakes (vocals), Dame Thora Hird (lead guitar), Dame Edith Evans (bass), Ravi Shanka (rhythm guitar), Keith Richards (recorder), Patrick Moore (drums) and Les Dawson (keyboards). Possibly with Tony Benn, Norman Tebbit and Cyril Smith as dancers. |

Subject: RE: Ideal line up From: The Shambles Date: 17 Jun 99 - 01:41 PM "and Eric Clapton on ukelele....... Hi Eric!" Is this song before your time? |
|
Subject: RE: Ideal line up From: Captain Swing Date: 17 Jun 99 - 03:43 PM No, I remember it well. In fact my mate Keith was famous for having turned Mike Oldfield away from his folk club in Louth Lincolnshire around 1970 for trying to bring in an electric guitar. Tolerant times!! |

Subject: RE: Ideal line up From: Penny S. Date: 17 Jun 99 - 04:07 PM Doesn't Patrick Moore play the xylophone? Penny |
|
Subject: RE: Ideal line up From: Captain Swing Date: 17 Jun 99 - 04:25 PM Yes he does, so I suppose he would actually be quite a good drummer but drums are easier to spell. |

Subject: RE: Ideal line up From: Songbob Date: 17 Jun 99 - 04:41 PM Art had: Charlie Parker(sax), Chet Baker(trumpet), Thelonious Monk(piano), Tal Farlow (guitar), to which I'd add Max Roach (drums), and Charles Mingus, (bass) but I think I'd replace Chet Baker with a hotter trumpet player, like Dizzy Gillespie. Or I might replace Bird with Zoot Sims, as a match for Baker. Add Gerry Mulligan (bari sax) to the latter lineup, of course. This is bringing back memories for me, of the 60s and Downbeat magazine delivered to my house, "The Collector's Jazz" books by John Wilson, and late night listening sessions -- "bllindfold tests" and all -- with my high school nerd buddies. Actually, there is no such thing as a perfect ensemble, either in instruments involved OR in the players. Or rather, there's no such thing as ONE perfect ensemble. I've heard the most amazing agglomerations of instruments work well and "standard" ensembles suck harder than a Hoover. It all depends on the song or tune, the style, the players, the audience, and the moment. In other words, it's all magic anyway. Bob Clayton Personal favorite ensemble: Geroge Stephens, 6- and 12-string guitars, vocals; Pete Kraemer, guitar, dobro, bass, banjo, autoharp, vocals; and Bob Clayton, guitar, banjo, mandolin, banjo-mandolin, harmonica, and vocals. We're called "Sidekicks." See http://members.aol.com/sidekicks999/

Subject: RE: Ideal line up From: alison Date: 17 Jun 99 - 09:30 PM Captain Swing, Is John Noakes still on the go? Your little list brought back a heap of memories.... used to love Les Dawson playing the piano. Now I'm off to watch my Blue Peter video... have to see that bobsleigh run.. just one more time. Always thought they could have done a great show by sticking John Noakes, Roy Castle, and Johnny Ball in a studio together.. all that enthusiasm...... slainte alison |

Subject: RE: Ideal line up From: Captain Swing Date: 18 Jun 99 - 03:14 PM I'm glad you liked the line up alison. I last saw John Noakes on TV last year. He was hosting the Blue Peter 40th anniversary I think. But I also saw a magazine article about him. He had been round the world in his own boat and been shipwrecked. He was also saying how his departure from BP was less than friendly - there was some legal wrangle over the ownership of Shep apparently. By the way - I think I'd also add Johnny Morris (the hot chestnut man) to my band. He'd be at the back with a disco deck making those scratchy noises with the records. I don't know what that's called. Captain Swing

Subject: RE: Ideal line up From: The Shambles Date: 18 Jun 99 - 04:04 PM I think we are getting a little confused with the song. Understandable though. The one I meant was called Intro and Outro, by the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band. It was a 'mickey take' of those, introducing the jazz band things, where all sorts of incredible people play all manner of unlikely instruments. Viv Stanshall, who was the singer, also did the introducing on Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, but that one was not as funny. |

Subject: RE: Ideal line up From: John Hindsill Date: 19 Jun 99 - 12:03 AM Don Meixner-- Are you sure you are not me? If I could only keep one record album it would be my copy of SOP Collectables, reissued 1935/6 recordings. In the mid 1950s SOP often appeared on Town Hall Party in Compton (LA) CA. The group never sounded quite like their records. It wasn't until years later that I learned that Bob Nolan, who had retired from the group was still doing the recordings, but not the appearances. With the recent death of Leonard Slye, the King of the Cowboys, all of those Sons are gone.---John |

Subject: RE: Ideal line up From: DonMeixner Date: 19 Jun 99 - 02:42 AM John, I have often played The Kilocycle Stomp and the Cajun Stomp for my jazz friends and they are sure they are listening to Django and Stephan at the Hot Club in Paris. Blue Bonnet Girl is just beautiful and ... Hell they are all great. Don |

Subject: RE: Ideal line up From: Captain Swing Date: 19 Jun 99 - 08:10 AM Ah ha, Shambles, I didn't know that - I'd assumed you were talking about Tubular Bells. I wish I'd heard the Bonzo Dog record. Captain Swing |
