Roxy Music Samba Pa Ti

I have an original 1939 copy of Gone With The Wind, the Motion Picture Edition. It's the complete novel, illustrated throughout with stills from the movie itself. A lovely hardcover book, with a ribbon marker. I also have a drum made by a very freespirit friend. He makes Native American drums in the authentic fashion. It stands about 4 feet high, with stretched buffalo hide for the drumhead. He sands, stains, and dyes the wood to bring out whatever "natural pictures" are in the wood. Mine has a sun, moon, eagle in flight, and a lovely naked lady, about 2 feet high, riding a sea turtle. It's beautiful, and one of my prized possesions. It used to be in the old photograph thread.

Katie, my old memory wasn't suiting me at all so I emailed a local DJ who was on the air then, and still is now. I had the St Louis part right, the Rush part right, the early 70's right. Here are the details radio Rich Dalton gave me... Carole, here you go! The artsy hard rock group Pavlov's Dog spanned progressive music and heavy metal in much the same way that Rush did in its early days. Also like Rush, Pavlov's Dog had a singer, David Surkamp, whose distinctive high-pitched voice was the group's take-it-or-leave-it factor. Outside of a small cult following, most folks chose to leave it, but over the decades Pavlov's Dog has remained a popular find for fans of the obscure end of American arena rock. Pavlov's Dog formed in St. Louis in 1972 out of the ashes of a local cover band called High on a Small Hill, with Surkamp, formerly of the minor folk-rock act Touch, on vocals and guitar, joined by lead guitarist Steve Scorfina; keyboardist David Hamilton; Mellotron and flute player Doug Rayburn; bassist Rick Stockton; drummer Mike Safron; and strings specialist Siegfried Carver (born Richard Nadler), who added violin, viola, and an odd hybrid instrument called a vitar (that sounded something like Eddie Phillips' bowed guitar in the '60s freakbeat heroes the Creation). The combination of flute, Mellotron, violin, and Scorfina's guitar heroics led to some comparisons to David Cross-era King Crimson, though Pavlov's Dog had a much more straight-ahead, less twisty sound. Growing popularity on the Midwestern club circuit led to the band's signing to ABC-Dunhill Records in 1975 (supposedly for a then-record 650,000 dollar advance, though that might have been press-release puffery) and the recording of their debut album, Pampered Menial. History is unclear as to exactly what happened next, but somehow, Pavlov's Dog found themselves off of ABC-Dunhill and on Columbia Records almost immediately, with the result that Pampered Menial was released twice, almost simultaneously, on two different labels with exactly the same sleeve design and track lineup. Tom Nickeson replaced David Hamilton during the sessions for Pavlov's Dog's second album, 1976's At the Sound of the Bell. Carver left the group after the tour for the second album, leading the band to provisionally title their third album "Whatever Became of Siegfried?" When Columbia dropped the group after the commercial failure of At the Sound of the Bell, these completed tapes were eventually bootlegged, most often under the name The St. Louis Hounds; the tapes were released on CD by a German label called TRC in 1994 under the title Third. (Bizarrely, the cover art for Third is quite shamelessly stolen from the cover of Rick Springfield's million-selling Working Class Dog!) Pavlov's Dog broke up in 1978. Surkamp and Rayburn re-formed the band briefly in the late '80s with an otherwise new lineup, releasing the album Lost in America in 1990. Surkamp continues to play solo gigs around the St. Louis area. ********************************************* I knew Rich would have the scoop!!!

Just like a man...

(The dreaded)Avril Lavigne Heart Of Glass

I've experienced this at a few times. I was told those floaters and flashers can also be symptoms of "mini" strokes (TIA's?), and that everyone suffers them occaisionally. As far as I know my retinas are fine, and hopefully stay that way.

I was just going to guess that! With no help either. Really I was.

I was going to say Jive Talkin Laurie, but I don't think anyone ever covered it.

Chuck Berry Turn The Page...Mettallica or Seger?

Hot Rod Lincoln ~ Bill Kirchen Martian Boogie ~ Brownsville Station

I just heard a nice little block of songs that took me back to the 70's. No heavy message, just all "feel good" songs!! The Shanty Song ~ Johnathon Edwards Roll Your Own ~ The Fabulous Poodles Don't Bogart That Joint ~ The Fraternity of Man

7) I'm A Man - Bo Diddley 10) Mama Said - The Shirelles ?

I don't think anyone's mentioned Sammy Hagar. Big screamer.

Honey If you need any pointers on what not to do, I'm your girl!!! We girls need to give these guys a run for their money this season!!! I guess we're taking applications for cheerleader huh?

Jenny that was me which is why I say spend the time and hold the memories close. So important later on. No regrets.

Watch it Joe! You have no idea who you're messing with here. Just ask anyone from last years team!

Good lord Shawna, same here! Mary, hon, I appreciate the tough time you're going through right now. Be strong, spend all the time you can with your Dad, and just let him know you love him. The time is important, and sharing memories. You'll always have them.

Ok y'all, I'm in finally. Sorry it took so long!!

^^^^smarty pants!

Katie give me a few days and I should have any and all info able to be found on Pavlovs Dog. Seriously they are that popular here. In fact they just played the Pageant Theater here. I'll be back online in a few days, so I'll have the time to get you what you need!

Since I'm at work I can't do any more research...but "Sounds like Rush"

Katie! I'm so excited that someone has asked about them! Pavlovs Dog was a huge group in the St Louis area back in the 70's. Julia was one of thier biggest hits. OK, let the old lady gear up the brain a little. If memory serves me they were from St Louis, but I could be wrong there. It could just be that they had a huge fan base here. Our big rock station here (KSHE) was the first FM rock station in the nation. Very big into "progressive" rock. They have what they call KSHE Klassics. Pavlovs Dog are very high on the Klassic list as is the song Julia. I'm going to have to dig a little, but I'll come up with some more for you I promise!

Soft Cell Carol - The Stones or Chuck Berry?

There we go Elvy. We'll whomp em this year. 'Cept maybe Jimmy!

Will you boys let me play again? By the time the leagues rolling I'll have my home PC again. I'd like to redeem myself a little from last year!
