  1. I cannot tell about him being a nice or awfull guy... but I remember I saw him once onstage... for 5 minutes... the rest of the time (one hour and a half) the band had to perform alone. He really was much too drunk and all he could do was say "Hey" "Come on" and then leave the stage... to come back again for three minutes and so on...  Too good I saw him other times and besides, I never payed for the tickets... :D

  3. Edna,

    I'm trying to be here more and more. Speaking of old, I just couldn't figure out how to get on to the newly designed site... Well I figured it out. I hope all of us oldies but goodies can start gathering here again. 

    Yes, I admit it was a bit... strange. I still miss the old boards... :)   I try to check in every day and hope this will be alive as before one day... :)

  4. "Say What You Will"

    Fastway  

     

    Written by Fastway.

     

    A track of their 1983 album, "Fastway".

    Mickey Feat, a session musician, played bass, as Pete Way has already left the band. This information isn't credited on the album notes.

     

     

    "I'll Never Let You Go"

    Steelheart

     

     

    Written by Michael Matijevic.

     

    A track of their 1990 album, "Steelheart".

    Allmusic says: "Possessing metal pipes like few before him, the leonine Steelheart yelper Michael Matijevic scarred the airwaves forever when he hammered the simply unmatchable chorus of the hairball "I'll Never Let You Go." Ludicrous and sublime, the sound was roughly akin to Whitney Houston hitting the hot spot in "I Will Always Love You."

  6. "Sentimental Journey"

    Ella Fitzgerald

     

    Written by Les Brown, Ben Homer and Bud Green.

    According wikipedia:

    Les Brown and His Band of Renown had been performing the song, but were unable to record it because of the 1942–44 musicians' strike. When the strike ended, the band, with Doris Day as vocalist, had a hit record with the song, Day's first #1 hit, in 1945. The song's release coincided with the end of WWII in Europe and became the unofficial homecoming theme for many veterans. The recording was released ...with the flip side "Twilight Time"....  reached the Billboard charts on March 29, 1945 and lasted 23 weeks on the chart, peaking at #1

    The song was recorded by Ella Fitzgerald with Eddie Heywood and his Orchestra in 1947, it was later released on her album "Ella and Her Fellas".

     

    Many singers recorded the song (Frank Sinatra,  The Platters, Rosemary Clooney and even Ringo Starr)
