Joey Ramone



Strange fact - Joey had 2 sets of teeth. Look at a pic of his smile sometime (if you can find one - he didn't smile alot), looks like a sharks grin.

Who all mentioned Duane Allman?? Because ya'll forgot to mention Berry Oakley, for shame. Died in a motorcycle accident in 1972, 3 blocks from where Duane ate it. On highway 19 in Macon, Georgia, there is a Raymond Berry Oakley III Bridge.


Any Savatage fans??? Criss Oliva, damn good guitarist, world class soloist. Died in 1993 when he was struck by a drunk driver, whose blood alcohol level was .294


And let us not forget mr T Bone Walker!!!! The man!! Died in 1975.

Flaming

Alone in the
clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown, yippee
You can't see me but I can you

Lazing in the foggy dew
Sitting on a unicorn no fear
You can't hear me but I can you

Watching buttercups cup the light
Sleeping on a dandelion too much
I won't touch you but then I might

Streaming through the starlit skies
Travelling by telephone
Hey ho here we go
Ever so high

Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown, yippee
You can't see me but I can you

Ok, so it has been 4 pages already, it is about time I mention some of the greatest musicians of all time. I speak of course of

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who died at the age of 34 in 1791.


Johann Bach. Died at the age of 65 in 1750.


Ludwig van Beethoven. Died near the age of 57, in 1827.


Oh, and why did Beethoven sell all of his chickens???
Because they walked around saying "Bach bach bach"

Aleck "Rice" Miller, or Sonny boy Williamson II. A fantastic harmonica player, could play very well while clapping both hands and stomping. Died in 1965.

I have to mention the recent passing of a titan in the classical music world: cellist, conductor, and human rights advocate Mstislav Rostropovich. One of the greatest cello virtuosi to have ever lived. Later in life he conducted the National Symphony in Washington, D.C. Some of the biggest composers of the last century composed works specifically for Rostropovich, including Aram Khachaturian and Sergei Prokofiev.

Yo Yo Ma, eat your heart out.

Since Farmer John posted a picture of Nicolo Paganini, I thought I'd also post a pic of another musician considered to be one of the greatest ever at his instrument: Franz Liszt.

There exist written accounts of Liszt concerts, where he'd emerge on stage to throngs of screaming women, sit on his bench, and remove his gloves, one finger at a time. He'd then toss the gloves into the audience, where chaos would ensue. Beatlemania, anyone?

Ahh Liszt, used to listen to him all the time with my (now deceased) grandma. He was fantastic, true virtuoso.

Freddie King, the Texas Cannonball. He was a big ol boy, died of a heart attack and complications from bleeding ulcers and pancreatitis in Dallas, Tx in 1976 at the age of 42. Going down. Down down down down down.

Art Tatum

Art Tatum

Sergei Rachmaninoff saw the jazz pianist Art Tatum perform in NYC during the 1940's. Afterwards, Rachmaninoff said that Tatum was the greatest pianist he'd ever seen perform, in any musical genre.

How 'bout THEM apples?
