Joe Frickin' Friday Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Bulgarian singing is very distinctive. If you're a fan of Kate Bush, you've likely heard Trio Bulgarka in the background on a few of her songs. They've long since disbanded, but here's an older recording of one of their televised performances: For a bigger sound, here is Cosmic Voices From Bulgaria: 1 Link to comment

The first time I heard Le June was when I went to bootcamp. Mebbee why your hearing the correct pronunciation as of recent years is that Camp LeJeune finally put the pronunciation on the front gate and are trying to get the the pronunciation of the base correct for it's namesake, John A LeJeune, who was from Pointe Coupee Parish. 2 hours ago, wbw6cos said: ......worsh clothes? nope 27 minutes ago, Skywagon said: Natchitoches.

taylor1 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Richard , were you stationed there before the bypass ? I used to drive down from Fort Macon to MSO Wilmington. At that time there was not a bypass and you had to drive through the base. Stop, show your I.D. and feel the percussion from the practice bombing while driving. Always loved that trip.

You musta drove the back road of 172,....I don't think they allow that pass through anymore. I said when I was initially stationed there in '88 that they should build a road through the swamps from the air station to main side,.....and looky looky what they did. I was there a couple of years ago and near Camp Geiger, the nearest building to the main road was our armory,.....there was a decent amount of woodline between that armory and 17. Also, the swampland south and west of Verona was all bought up, I dunno what they do out there. The last time I was actually stationed there was 2000 and I was with 1st Bn, 6th Marines on mainside. My youngest daughter was born there. She never slept through the night while we lived there. We attributed that to the helo's and boom-booms from the arty going off. Once we got to Agony, Ga, she slept all night long. My time there was 88-94 and then again 97-00. Link to comment
Hosstage Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Love this song, love this version. I go back and forth on which is better, this or Jimi's original. Link to comment
roadscholar Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Agree, few guitarists can cover Jimi. Most don’t even try. Link to comment
taylor1 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 My little brother won some S.R.V tickets on the local radio station back in mid 80's and asked me to go. Really didn't know much about him at the time. Outstanding concert. For his encore, he sat at the end of the stage and played Voodoo Child. Knocked my socks off. He certainly channeled Jimi for that one 2 Link to comment

Some things, you just don't forget where you were when you heard the news. Link to comment
Hosstage Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Such an odd and wonderful song! Cab has such a way of presenting it, a little comedy, a little tension, a lot of showman. I must sadly admit that my first exposure to that song and Cab was the Blues Brothers Movie. And glad for it 1 Link to comment

Joe Frickin' Friday Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 A remake of Suzanna Vega's song "Tom's Diner" by Annenmaykentereit. The curly-haired dude has a voice like shredded meat (in a good way). In looking up info about the song, I was amused to learn that the diner in question is the same one featured as "Monk's Cafe" in Seinfeld. 2 1 Link to comment
Joe Frickin' Friday Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 My sister and her husband just hired this guy and his 2 pals for their upcoming 60th-birthday party. The lead guy, Zivanai Masango, is originally from Zimbabwe but you might catch him performing around Denver (where he currently lives). Link to comment
Joe Frickin' Friday Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 No doubt you are familiar with this song, popularized in the US by The Tokens in 1961: Its roots actually go back much farther - to 1939 in South Africa, where it was first recorded by its composer, Solomon Linda: There are a lot of other covers out there, but for my money, the best version is this joint effort by Ladysmith Black Mambazo and the Mint Juleps: 1 Link to comment
