  1. Marc, that's a photo of the band GWAR wearing yet another set of freaky costumes. These guys are like the horror counterpart of Spinal Tap.

    Thanks Cosmo! Again, I was making an attempt at humor which, evidently, does not translate well on a thread. Oh well. I like the way you describe stuff to me, even though it makes me feel like grandpa! :laughing:

  2. Our first dance was a song by Tom Waits called "Little Trip To Heaven (On the Wings of your Love)." A very romantic song off of the album Closing Time. If you have not heard Tom Waits sing before, you may want to listen to it together since he kinda has that drinks a lot, smokes a lot cocktail lounge singer voice that I love so much, but others are not so fond of. Here are the lyrics:

    Little trip to heaven on the wings of your love

    Banana moon is shining in the sky

    I feel like I'm in heaven when you're with me

    I know that I'm in heaven when you smile

    Though we're stuck here on the ground

    I got something that I've found, and it's you

    I don't need to take no trip to outer space

    All I have to do is look in your face

    And before I know it I'm in orbit around you

    Thanking my lucky stars that I found you

    When I see your constellation, you're my inspiration

    And it's you

    You're my North Star when I'm lost and feeling blue

    You're my sun that's breaking through, it's true

    And all the other stars seem dim around you

    I thank my lucky stars that I found you

    When I see your smilin' face

    I know nothing' gonna take your place

    And it's you, and it's you, and it's you,

    and it's you, and it's you, and it's you

    Scoobidy do wah....

    I cant believe I forgot to mention David Bowie. Saw his "I'm never gonna play these old songs again" tour at Dodger Stadium.

  4. The Beatles and The Who were the two first bands I really liked. I got into The Beatles after seeing "Beatlemania" when I was about 8 or 9. I have loved them since. The Who came into the picture after I heard my brother's copy of "Who's Next?" at about 10. That album STILL rocks hard and is one of my all time favorites.

  6. When I am driving I play the air drums. Do you think I look like that when playing the imaginary bongos?

    Regards

    I play the imaginary bongos too! But I have to put on my imaginary beatnik beret first,,,,,

  7. I hate to be a stickler, but it's Swing Swing Swing. And , yes, it is hard to sit still when it starts. Then the horns kick in. Top notch.

    No, I think it's Sing Sing Sing being described.

    The version on this web site sounds like it was recorded outside of a mall Wurlitzer Outlet, but you get the idea.

    There is a biography of Benny Goodman called Swing Swing Swing, though. Also a video about Gene Krupa shares that title.
