Jim in Pa

the balls in your court now ray, I struck out so far.. J

ldybug, Can you remember any more lyrics? Theres not enough here for me to go on, as I dont recognize those lyrics at all, and they dont come up in any of the lyrics sites i use. Jim

Hey Lucky, Maybe you should change the name of this thread. I (for one ) thought you were refuring to Mel Brooks "The Producers" but curiosity got the best of me, so I took a look. I have nothing to add right now as I did not read the post with a fine tooth comb, but I got the jist. Maybe later, pressed for time right now..... Jim

If I remember correctly, the Moody Blues were the first pop band to incorperate a full orchastra into pop music..And "words at the end", are the 2nd part of the poem that the album began with. Its called "Late Lament" and was written and spoken by Graham Edge (The drummer)

Thats what I thought to Blues. I have the original release of the movie, and that is not in the sound track of that version. Jim

BTW BZ, Framptons "Do you feel like we do" was released in 1976. J

sounds like canned heats "gone up the country" but I'll find out for sure when I get home and dig through my old stuff. Jim

SJ, Probably alot of self abuse, but I dont remember that either.... J

SJ, Probably, but I dont remember... J

SJ try, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues_Magoos Jim.

Sorry I was distracted several times while trying to type that.. I'm at work... I'll try to be more attentive in the future. Jim

Sounds (or looks like) a bunch of wanna be lawers arguing about everthing but the case in point. If any of you ever pass the barr exam, I'll be sure (if needed) to look one of you guys up.. You really know how to confuse an issue. Its been real something. (I have no clue what it is at this point). I think you folks have more than beat this horse to death..... cheers Jim

Regaurding the math thing, you would have been -3 yrs old. As far as Laurie the month would not matter as she would have to skip a few years to get close... LOL Jim PS, or -2 depending on the month..

Couldnt have been you, the girl I remember from back then was at least 15 or 16. LOL sorry.. J

Hey Razor, If your posted age is correct the math aint that hard to do. LOL J

Laurie, I just found some of the stuff I posted here before about GFR. I hope this internal link works. http://forum.songfacts.com/showtopic.php?tid/143348/ Jim Edit: Its appears that it does...

Thats true, I didnt mention Shea stadium, or many other ditties.. I was trying to keep this as short as possable. I could go into alot of detail, but that gets boring fast... Jim

Mean-while back to the original topic: GFR formed in Flint, MI. in early 69, as a 3 piece power band. Heavely influenced by rock and soul. The first album "On Time" was released Aug of 69, and the second, "Grand Funk" in Dec of 69. Prior to the albums being realesed, the band was present at the Jun of 69 Atlanta Pop Festival. Where they'er manager (Terry Knight (i think)) convinced the promotors to let them perform. They were an unsigned act, but played anyway. They were the opening act and made such a hit, they were also brought back on to close the show. The 3rd album "Grand Funk Live" was recorded in Jun of 70. The picture on cover was taken at the 69 Atlanta Fest, But all the recordings on the album were compiled from various venues in Florida. The album was released in Nov of 70. Thats the early years in a nut shell. Hope thats answers your question about the earlier material. Jim

The American Band Album was pressed in gold colored transparent vinyl. When held up to the light you could see through it.

I knew that, but I used diff names and PW's in both. The name and PW from in here dont work out there. The name and PW from out there dissapeared. And now they want everything but my shoe size to be able to change the PW. I did manage to get the name back (I think)... Anyway its a pain in the as*....

I guess having M privlages enables you to rearrange the posting order, do have the power to figure out why all my info IE: name, password, and other info are gone from out the main board. And now they are asking for info than I am not willing to give out to re-join. I cant do anything with any of the posts I made out there. ButI did put a few GFR posts up if ya wanna go look around. This website is starting to feel more and more unsecure everday... I may just back on outta here. Jim

And alot more typing too, hang on I have some posts about them out the on SF main.. I'll see if I can find them and move them here. Jim

What do you want to know? Jim

LOL Peaches. I'll be looking for that one.. Jim

Man, I have seen threads wonder on and off topic, but this one should be nominated for some kind of award.
