By the third single, there was a band, Cozy Powell's Hammer, and Na Na Na had vocals, and a vocalist, old mate Frank Aiello. John Cameron (the mastermind of CCS) wrote the song. It charted as well, but Cozy was tiring of being a pop star...

Na Na Na Lyrics Na na na na When I was a kid my old man said to me When you grow up son what cha gonna be? You gonna go to school and get a degree? Or you gonna go to work in a factory? I said Na na na na I know what I want and I know what I can And I wanna get a job in a rock'n roll band. Well the man at the desk said I know how you feel. But how d'ya like a job fixing automobiles Your card says you got no musical training I said hey look man you just don't get my meaning. I don't wanna be no guitar star And the man on the piano works too damn hard. And the bass man he don't cop for no glamour I wanna be the man with the fifty pound hammer going. Na na na na I know you get your kicks Playing Hendrix licks You're a wizard of Wembley Central You're the J. S. Bach of Belsize park And me I'm just plain mental. But when I play my boogie when I play my blues It's like a whole tank regiment on the move You can play the notes and you can tell the story Me I'll just settle for the power and the qlory. Na na na na

I remember one that mocks Pink Floyd's The Wall. It was in two parts (just as on the album) "just another kick in the b*lls" and the same called kick in..........part two. The lyrics are way to rough for air play, and I wont post here either. look around ya may find it out there somewhere. I didnt bother.. (sorry) J PS. oh and by the way, "The Ruttles" ( a monty python gig) did a parody of several Beatles albums back in the 60's. Let it Be was called "Let It Rot", Abbey Road = "Shabby Road", Sgt peppers = "Sgt Peppers only darts club band" there may have been more, but I forget. Edit: just found alittle something on wicky about them, check it out............. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rutles and this may even be funnier.......... http://www.rutles.org/rstory.html

Yea, I remembered that after I shut down last night. I figured i'd fix that today, but you beat me to it. thanks for clearing that up though. Jim

So phil, how's things in Joes Garage these days? lol still got the drums in the corner by the 64 with the mashed in door?

how bout maybe "The Rose" (written by Willie Nelson). Bette Midler performed this best (imo).. Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed. Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed. Some say love, it is a hunger and endless aching need. I say love, it is a flower and you its only seed. Its the heart afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance. Its the dream afraid of wakeing, that never takes the chance. Its the one who wont be taken, who cannot seem to give. And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live. When the night has been to lonely, and the road has been too long. And you think that love is only, for the lucky and the strong. Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snows. Lies the seed that with the suns love, in the spring becomes the rose.

The Stevie Wonder tune is "I Just Called To Say I Love You"

Ok I decided to take Luckies advice and just post the link.......... http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?forumID=12419&p=1 Jim

I seem to recall Steve Howe being voted "best all around guitarist 6 years straight back in the 70's. But I cant say he's my all time favorite. as I like many different guitarist, along with styles, and ect. A subject such as this is just a matter of personal preference. Its not a subject that will produce a deffinitive answer. Most of the guitarists mentioned I have heard, but I cant put any one in front of the other as they'r styles ect differ alot. In expl: Rod Richards, (original guitarist for Rare Earth) maybe no ones favorite. But an insperation to me. He among many others. Just alittle food for thought! Jim PS: If anyone has an interest in Rare Earth, I have a link to a forum where most of the band members (past and present) hang out, and like to converse with anyone.. But no BS. be cool. They'r great guys who take the time to answer questions and offer lost recordings of live shows.

Chris Squire would be one of my first picks too. Being a lead guitarist I dont/didnt pay much attention to bass players, as long as they kept the it tight with the drummer and held a good solid tight rythm beat for the rest of us to follow... Jim

Alvin Lee Rick Derringer Jeff Beck Jeff Baxtor

any body ever heard of Steve Howe ? or Andrus Segovia, leo cotdkey?

Willie Nelson has his fingers in at least one you may want to check into. I think its called "the texas road house"

Uncle Joe, just saw that post about the drivers test from awhile back... took the Pa test and only blew one answer. thats because they changed the rules. when I took the test, you had to park 6 " from the curb, now its 12".

Mark Farner used "West" amps and cabinets. and the guitar was a "Messenger" for more on the guitar check out this link........... http://www.guitarplayer.com/article/messenger-guitars/Apr-06/19458 Jim

Ron and Mickey, this site makes for some good reading (if ya havnt seen it already)..... http://woodstock69.com/ J

Yea Ron, thats a keeper J

Having been at Woodstock, I remember hearing "goin Home" (really couldnt see the stage from where we were). But I thought "wow" as did the others around us. we all shut up and listened. at the end of the set I heard someone say "wow, that blows Hendrix away", and someone said "man, you gonna stay for Hendrix?" I heard somebody else yell "not after that". as it turned out by the time Hendrix took the stage probably 1/2 to 2/3 of the people had split. There were still alot of people there, but nothing like saturday.. I dont remember a whole lot from then, but I do remember that.. J

How bout an anti drug song from the 60's---- Steppinwolf's "The Pusher" J

Seeker, Having grown up in the 60's, I was subjected to many different bands and music styles. Throughout the 60's and 70's I was influenced in so many different ways by so many different bands it would be impossible for me to name any single one of them as "the band that did it for me". There are times when I am in situations that just remind me of a band/song that I heard from being inna simular situation before. And then there are times when no music comes to mind in certain situations. So I just cant to seem to answer to that question.... Jim

Edna, and all. I believe I remember George Martin describing "Abbey Road" as follows. ( This is from memory, and a long time ago so if I'm wrong please speak up) Martin described the connected side as being recorded that way mainly to suit Paul. The other side was contributions from the other 3 individually. Jim

yea, ya got me this time. But I didnt beat it to death with 300 more posts that have nothing to do with the subject.. last post for this thread..............

found an Emmilou Harris song that fits the time line and the CW genre called "Daddy" but it dosnt have the lines you stated. Its more of a song about the mother leaving the father. Jim

Jane, your doin a good job at keeping that snow out your way, so far it looks like we'er just gonna get rain outof this one
