Great card! I was wondering if he was going to be in a Browns or Dolphins uniform. Despite him being with the Dolphins in their Super Bowl runs I always think of him as a Brown.
Agree to disagree.
No actually. I mean there was a little bit of political discussion once we got to the protest songs of the 60s but I don't remember much other than that. There was heavy focus on the roots of rock, but past that it was more of the big names and movements.
That's good. I'd hate to sit and listen to Buffalo Springfield's reasons for For What It's Worth and the like for a semester. So y'all were more into the fusion of southern country and blues music? Was it mostly American musicians then, or did you get into British rock? One of my top 5 maybe 2 or 3 is Pink Floyd. I actually just found out what it is on their album cover of Meddle. The song Fearless on that album is flat out overlooked as one of their greatest songs, and Echoes is an epic song... just 20 something minutes. The bass line on One of These Days is greatness. Then there's their album Animals... that got a bit political, but the average American wouldn't know it cuz they're singin bout British politicians. Then there's the whole Syd Barrett incident/s. But hindsight says without him doing acid Gilmour wouldn't have joined and they probably would have been lost in time. I'm sure you saw the documentary about the making of Wish You Were Here and he showed up to the studio... no one knew who he was he'd changed so much. Really a sad story. Welp I'll leave it at that for now. Its 7am so maybe Led Zeppelin IV is in order. Something a little mellow, ya know.
There was a lot of discussion on the roots, yhe gospel side, the blues, the country side. There was talk of Robert Johnson at the crossroads. Our professor made a joke about Blind Lemon Johnson and how if he was performing those songs he would need the stage name of Blind Lemon Pledge. (Old white guy trying to sing the blues
) Sam Phillips and Sun Records in Memphis was a whole chapter. Not just for the Elvis, but he really had some big names early on in their careers. Johnny Cash, B.B.King, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison...like man if he could have kept even a third of those guys. He even went to far as to record a group of guys in the Tennessee State Penn, and released a couple songs as the group the Prisonaires, which I can only assume was a play on the Jordanaires who sung back up fro Elvis and Patsy Cline among others. One interesting tidbit on Ssm Phillips also was that the money he got from RCA for Elvis ' contract (35,000) he used to invest in a local hotel and helped make it an international chain. Any guesses on which hotel that was?Hmmm... With Sun Records in mind I'd say Days Inn...There was a lot of discussion on the roots, yhe gospel side, the blues, the country side.

The Sun Records studio is still there isn't it? Just a tiny 2 or 3 room space on a corner in Downtown Memphis. Museum no-doubt...There was a lot of discussion on the roots, yhe gospel side, the blues, the country side. There was talk of Robert Johnson at the crossroads.

Yes, on Union Avenue. We didn't get over there when we visited Memphis a few years ago, but it's on the list for the next trip. And you were close with the Hotel, you got the Inn part right. Your first hint will be the kind of day next Monday is...
Ya my Dad had it on his list too, I'd like to go to even though I'm not into anyone from there. I also need to see if any of his records are from Sun. I need an easier way to find out rather than pulling every record out of the holder and paper...
Ahhh man so close. Holiday Inn... well it's good to know he was able to survive after having to sell Sun.
I think I just heard it... One Week by Barenaked Ladies?
All this talk of Memphis......One I pick up for my set.......Someone said if you asked him what time it was he'd tell you how a watch worked..........Classic!
Bingo!
Very nice!! Some of your recent vintage card postings are so nice they almost don't look real.
Yeah my wife isn't a big Elvis fan, but she really enjoyed Graceland. I feel like whether or not you like the artists, its the music history tgat is fascinating. It's likewise for the Music Instrument Museum in Phoenix. Spent 3 hours there and only saw about a 1/3 of it.
I shoot them with a Canon EOS SD Mark III with an EF100mm f/2.8L Macro.........They are super high resolution.........The originals are 3X the size of the actual card.......
Saw Marilyn Manson at Graceland last week and the ticket price includes free admission to the mansion.......Suffice it to say, we don't go, once was plenty........
