  1. Someone above mentioned Zappa and I agree... here is a nice article if you have a few minutes to spare: https://www.loudersound.com/features/frank-zappa-people-thought-the-beatles-were-god-that-s-not-correct?fbclid=IwAR1XvgB3CopHBu3sYu9jwilt3Dm31D6oIQ1bOMnvtbSySdJjYB4_c87L-gs Quadrophenia is an excellent example as well as Fripp's King Crimson, mostly during the 70's for my taste but all of it really is very complex. One name I haven't seen mentioned unless I missed it is Mike Oldfield. Tubular Bells isn't something you hack out on a piano in a few hours... this took a Lot of work not in just composing it but also finding the right musicians to be able to actually play it. Guy was just 19 at the time as well...
  2. Sunday funday... hope it happens.
  3. At this point I couldn't care... as long as the Blues have a chance to win it at home is all that matters here.
  4. Hope you are wrong... looking forward to tonight's game, the intensity level should be around a 10.
  5. I have a name for it: "Cut and Paste". And this is too busy anyways.
  6. I'm the same man... really don't like being around them either, no matter of "oh he's a big baby" what an owner says. Give me a black lab all day long. I hate those little teacup style dogs too... don't really care what Mimi is wearing or did today or yesterday or ever.
  7. I was going to post something like this: With a 12" round oven baking dish I take one package of Uncle Johns Pride sausage and line the outside with it. In the middle I fill it with small red potato's, corn on the cob and sometimes use parsnips instead of potato's, really can put anything in there. Usually just use garlic powder and cracked black pepper though, trying to cut down on salt. If I'm going to use shrimp I put them in 15 minutes before it is done and do dash those with some Old Bay. 350 for one hour with the lid on. Can make this in 5 minutes.
  8. Not New York, although we went there every summer for the 4th growing up in WNY. Great fireworks display over the lake and the Blue Streak is an excellent wooden coaster. Nice to see they are sort of keeping it the way it was back then. Ever been? http://www.newconneautlakepark.com/index.cfm
  9. Any idea why this game is on OTA TV? Seems kind of random.
  10. Blues are on the hinge... lose tonight and you hit the hard road.
  11. A Roku tv and Sling and local channels works here, $28 a month. ... already have the net due to her work. Only problem is that once a year I have to add the other Sling package on so we have, or should I say, she has MNF. So, Sling Blue and Sling Orange combined for just part of the year... what, $45 a month or so. ***** Directv... I can get what I want for free which is mainly live Bills or Sabres games. We have more TV than we can or care to watch for that... ***** Directv, had them for 17 years up until a couple of years ago. Sling is pretty damn good and easy to use.
  12. They also had Aynsley Dunbar as the drummer, fresh off Zappa's Mothers. His work on The Grand Wazoo is incredible... so yeah, they started off the right way. From Wiki, the source of all knowledge lol: "Dunbar was later the drummer for Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, playing on albums such as Waka/Jawaka, and The Grand Wazoo, as well as the film 200 Motels. In 1974 he played on the soundtrack of Dirty Duck, an adult animated film directed by Charles Swenson. In the mid-1970s Dunbar played drums for former Grin leader, Nils Lofgren, before joining Journey for their first four albums."
  13. This is why I mentioned Uber in a post above... there is a legit Uber drop off place near the front gate. Same for getting out.
  14. Not sure why that reminded me of this but it did... and I remember 4-track tapes.
  15. I like how Mr Info is asking for info... All I've got is don't drink the water or drinks with ice cubes in them.
  16. Last good, actually it was great, boxing match I watched was Hearns/Hagler... agree, boxing is dead.
  17. I live a hour away from there, there Are ways to cut costs. The actual price of admission is fair imo, however, its everything else that gets you... food, drinks, trinkets, parking, etc. Don't stay there, find a place 20-30 minutes away and take an Uber in and out. Have a nice breakfast before you go and take some snacks... granola bars, crackers, peanuts, etc. Whatever won't melt. There are drinking water fountains but are hard to find, ask around. It is hotter down here right now than it will be in July... the afternoon rains will cool things off quite a bit, that hasn't started yet but will be in full swing in July. Bring a smaller umbrella, if not for the rain but for the sun. If you have to drive there and park have a good cooler with food and whatever... they will charge you $13 for a cheeseburger and fries. Want a beer? $9. If you have to buy things inside the park for some reason use your most points rewarding credit card. One downside to going in July besides the heat (there is a lot of AC all over though) is that school is out so it will be even more crowded. Hope maybe 1 or more of what I mentioned helps... have fun! You won't forget it, that's for sure.
  18. I still have my ticket stub from that show in Orlando... suddenly The Fixx was the opening act.
  19. Yeah I've heard that from other people too, hit or miss throughout the years. 20 plus times is pretty wild... made me think about who I've seen the most. Spirit, Savoy Brown, Moodys, Tull at least 4 times, really think it was 4 though. Never saw the Stones either lol.
  20. Out of probably 200 concerts I have never seen Dylan... had a chance to see Cat Stevens but wound up doing something else, probably puss related. Nice to have that under your belt, Dylan is the type of artist we will see no more.
  21. Its getting better all the time...
