Thread Name: scary music / scary songs
Subject: RE: scarey music
Yup Mick, he's got some way about how he puts a song across & his style of backing himself up is just as pleasurable. He used to hit some of the sessions here in Boston when over on a visit (now I guess it's a tour), so my exposure to him was in that type of setting back in the mid or late 80's. When everybody's in top form (at a session or such) & the music is hot & the songs turn out to be giants & rather than a performance there's a sharing & swapping of stuff that loved by all, it's a multi-musical orgasm, & that's the setting I first heard him do that song. I stuck a gun in his ribs & cried "your song or your life". I've been singing it ever since & he's still alive. Barry
