  2. How did you feel when John Lennon died?

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    I was in Jr high school (7th grade) and The Beatles were my favorite band at the time. My two best friends and I were in shock. I still remember the morning after, just sitting around the fountain at the school at brunch time. None of us could really let it sink in.

    Also memorable were the tributes on the radio station I listened to, 94.7 KMET. Especially Jim Ladd who was (and still is) famous for his commentary and then playing music that supported his thoughts. I think the tributes and non stop Beatle/John Lennon music went on for a week.

  11. about canadains all the things u thougth u knew

    in Random Thoughts

    I was in Chile last month and some guys we're commenting on my accent. Of course of I have an accent to people in Chile, but I was wondering what do Americans think we sound like? What (if you can descirbe it) does our accent sound like?

    I dont hear a difference (except for a few words.) I think the biggest difference is I have never heard a Canadian butcher the English language like my "peeps" do...

  13. telecaster basses still made by Fender?

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    I was not even aware that a Telecaster bass existed. I Googled it, and found that they are sought after by collecters. They can go for as much as $2000.00. Of the two reviews I found, both loved the T-bass, but would not pay 2 grand for one. They look like a P-bass, but the neck is different. I was unable to find any Telecater basses that were made after the early 70's.

    I read on some bass guy web page the following about a Tele bass: "the closest thing you could get new is a custom shop reissue of the 51 p-bass. If you get an old tele bass i would go for the single as apposed to the humbucker,(i.e. pre 1970. I have a 69 and it is great....good luck finding one."

    Danny Sugarman, manager for The Doors, passed away Wednesday at the age of 50 after a battle with lung cancer. Sugarman co-wrote the 1980 Doors biography No One Here Gets Out Alive and served as an advisor on Oliver Stone's 1991 film about the band. ?Danny is standing side-by-side with his great friend, Jim Morrison, and the two of them will now be laughing together into eternity,? Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek said in a statement.
