Now you got me listening to Alabama. Probably the last good thing about the state their football teams make me wanna spit
I remember mostly acoustic/electric guitars, bass, drums, vox. Trying to remember if I saw anyone fiddlin' - no banjos though. Most of the stuff I listened to was the outlaw kind of thing about unsavory, dark, dreadful things. :D
well I have it on good authority if you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar was hot but not for a Louisiana man
Sort of off topic, but staying in the realm, I acquired a lot of old LP's from an estate. I've been selling some on eBay but I have one that's got me stumped. Can't find anything on this band named "TEXAS" and it's NOT the European band from Scotland. Early 70's (1973) Southern Rock. Anyone from Texas or in Texas back then ever heard of them? Just curious....
@ghostofuga1 I'm not a Texas guy and have no personal info on the band, but I did find these, if it's any help.
Thanks @AnotherDawg !! I've used Discogs many times but missed it on this one. Doesn't look like much value in this obscure recording. Guess I'll put it back in the "yard sale" bin...lol!
@ghostofuga1 I'm sure it would be priceless to someone out there. I suspect as the internet matures over the next 50-100 years, among the advances we'll see is the ability to connect buyers and sellers in a hyper-specialized way that Amazon, eBay, and Craigslist are barely scratching the surface of right now.
For the record (no pun intended), I listened to some of that album and it was pretty good.
Alright Tex, @ghostofuga1 and I are done now. You can have your airplane back and all of the passengers are free to move about the cabin.
Funny thing is I now have a whole new appreciation for vinyl albums. When I got all these LP's, I had to buy a turntable. Haven't owned one since the mid 90's. Thought it was "obsolete." It's been amazing listening to old Beatles, Stones, Dylan, The Animals etc. etc. If any music lover really want's to get into a hobby, I would recommend doing the Vinyl thing. Lots of fun...
And back on topic.........Stereotypical Texas.........ZZ TOP!!!!!
Stevie Ray Vaughan. He is Texas.
Stevie Ray was the best!
met Billy Gibbons at my hotel once....coolest MF I've ever helped. Super nice guy. Clearly a texan
Nobody has gone this direction yet so here goes. Thing that sticks with me about Texas, and I mean literally, is the dirt. When its wet it swells and continually sticks to your shoes. You grow 6in in a day if you dont take your shoes off. It also shrinks when it dries. Wreaks havoc on houses. Foundation "fixers" must make a killing out there. Actually looks like the westerns when it drys and cracks.
Ps. You can wake up now
Nothing boring about dirt. What kind of dirt tells you what you can grow or what building you can build. Good dirt has all kinds of living things too small to see. U can get degrees at UGA studying dirt if you are willing to call it soil. An agronomist or soil scientist had to test the soil before they built Sanford Stadium where they built it.
