…..doesn’t own an iPod – Never did – Never will….. He says the quality is too low…. Looks like he agrees with Neil Young, who actually has a high quality digital system that he is trying to promote to iTunes and all the other MP3 peddlers…. They don’t care, gets in the way of profits….. […]

A friend on Facebook who’s the managing editor for the OK Gazette brought this to my attention: http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2013/01/making-of-blues-brothers-budget-for-cocaine The amateurish, abrupt ending makes me wince, but the rest of the story is a fun read. As BB aficionados, you may know everything discussed in the story, but enjoy anyway! Man, I love Dan Aykroyd.

Today we celebrate the Life of John Ono Lennon Taken from us 31 years ago so violently. I had just got home from Night School that Monday Night and turned on the TV waiting for the news, The NE Patriots were playing the Miami Dolphins. I was just half listening when Howard Cosell announced: Howard […]

…… According to the Rock stars who wrote them…..  A number of “My Generation” musicians are bringing out their autobiographies and/or memoirs….  Dylan’s been out for a while, but, Keith Richards, Pete Townsend, Neil Young, and Rod Stewart have jumped on the band wagon…..  I’ve already read Keith’s “Life” and most of Neil’s, “Waging Heavy […]

Here’s wishing a happy birthday to John Winston (Ono) Lennon. Born in the middle of a air raid 9 Oct. 1940 Ironic that a man who came into the world amid such violence, left us in a violent way. To borrow a line from Paul. ” and if I said I really knew well, what […]

On April 5th, 2012, the Music World lost one of it’s most famous people…..  Not for being a musician, but for the creation in his garage of one of the most famous line of guitar amps known…..  Made even more famous by it’s use by Seattle’s own Jimi Hendrix….  Again, we have to say goodbye […]

….Right Now (actually 40 some odd years later), Over Us”……  Seems MRambler Central has the ability to bring people in contact that left Oklahoma and all it’s Glory (or Gory) long, long ago…..  Greg Gellman picked-up on a Post made way back in January, 2006 called, “Musicians Stand Up and be Counted”, which, by the […]

Here’s your chance to give a little help……  We, as in Terraplane, have just finished recording all the tracks for a new CD that we hope to get out in the next few weeks or so…..  There are 4 new originals, 3 new Terraplane cover versions of some songs we like, and, 2 King Crimson covers from […]

I guess I’ll have to fill in as the MR Coroner, as Sunn has disappeared from our Community and J.J. is out crossing the countryside somewhere…..  Dick Clark, The American icon of  “American Bandstand”, famous for introducing new music acts in the late ’50’s into the ’60’s on the new entertainment format known as “TV”….. […]

You’ll have to thank Anon for this one – Also address any Comments/Questions to him also…..  This is definitely what you would call a “Boy Toy”…..  I think the “Fairer” sex would have some problems with the design……  The questions I have are:  Is this for real?…..  Where can I buy one?…..  Just how do […]

Sorry Huskysooner for stealing your idea and racing to outer space with it, but well you know 🙂 Also Robo gave me sort of an idea with his list. If you were stranded on a Island with only a 8gb ipod nano ( I think that’s the smallest one) For entertainment, What Music/Audio files would […]

I think each person on here fancies themselves a musical aficionado. Typically, “Top X” lists are pretty silly (e.g., the Rolling stone top-100 guitarists list we discussed sometime back), but…. It would be cool to hear peoples’ lists of desert island albums. As to arbitrary ground rules, I’m thinking top-10 albums/CDs. They can be double-albums […]

Obscure Musicology 101 – Another good one from Anon….. The first chord of “A Hard Day’s Night” – Never thought of it much, other than it was pretty cool and kicked the song off great… After finding out how it was done and that John, George, and Paul are ALL playing different parts on that […]

Anon sent me this pic of Jimi Hendrix’s statue that’s located in downtown Seattle…..  Some ingenious pranksters turned Jimi into a snowman……  The other pic is one I took years ago without the snowman disguise…… Bottom Line: Don’t become a ground level statue if you can’t stand the attention….. ——————————————————————————————–
