Avante and reality

[Avante]

Big buffed out good looking guy, have been called....sexy. Blessed with an amazing memory. Once something enters (if interested) it's locked in a vault...... forever.

I'm a lot of X's

X-footballer...20 years organized ball
X-trackster...all thru school
X-Navy
X-crazy man around town
X-insurance sales
X-foreman at a couple multi billion dollar companies

The father of...Leslie, Angelina and Mason, the husband of Judy. Currently retired and set $$$$ for life.

Amazing dimples and a tight ass.

My passions other than family...

Blues and music in general, yep...historian would work, can talk Mamie Smith
Track & Field....historian would work, can talk Lon Myers
Football....historian would work, can talk the Muncie Flyers
Sci Fi and literature in general.....Sci Fi historian would work, can talk Mary Shelly
Weight training....historian would work, can talk Eugene Sandow
Pro Rasslin'....historian would work, can talk Ed "Strangler" Lewis.
Pre 1980 boxing.....historian would work, can talk Jem Belcher

I'm bringing this up because so many here never seem to get it right. And since so many here are so worried about......me:toast

Love this. He;s doing a tune Clarence Ashley*** recorded in the early 30's, a tune Dylan does a great cover of.....also.

.....a good swift pinking....

[Avante]

Fuck trolls and....YOU'RE MELTING DOWN, haha!!!!! Who here can actually carry on an intelligent conversation?

Who can talk about Brian Jones infatuation with slide guitar master Elmore James?

How about...

Those iconic British sci fi authors?

Anyone into the origins of Bluegrass music?

How about those plantation fighters and the first great jockies?

I want to see some depth here, go above and beyond the usual grunts and stupidity. Too many Blakes here, yep dumbass idiots.

Talk to me about Tennessee Williams a cool faggot. How about Hollywood of the 1930's? Gorgeous George? The Crows? Olaf Stapeldon?

Show me something little people other than.....DUH!!!!!!!

You never want to suggest them old primitive blues from the 20's, like beer it's an aquired taste. So with that said....

Stevie Ray Vaughn does a great cover of this. Which is actually a cover of a Curtis Jones tune.

Rodgers who is called.."The Father of Country Music"..was simply a white bliues cat who yodeled. He grew up in Mississippi listening to the "darkies" maoanin' n' groanin' them blues while working on the local railroad and out in the cotten fields. That was his inspiration.

The most important music artist I was turned on to by an internet friend was Ray Wylie Hubbard. This guy would be the second, now you know about him.

So I need to add him to that list of Texas songsters, cool. I mentioned Russell and Hubbard, yep...Texas. Toss in some Steve Earle, Joe Ely, Doyle Brammall, Jerry Jeff Walker***, Jimmy Dale Gilmore.....nice.

*** I know, he wasn't from Texas, but did end up there.

[DisAsTerBot]

that bruce cockburn song was badass!

[xmas1997]

Lots and lots of good blues players from Texas.

[Avante]

Lots and lots of good blues players from Texas.

While Mississippi is generally considered the birth place of them blues, the first real big male star of the music was a Texan.

And you cannot talk the origins of the "recorded" music without this tune....

This is done by the guy who is considered to be (debatabe) the first "white' blues cat. And this is his classic....


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1lGGhQ-Ew8

At his first recording session in 1955 Elvis covered a few blues songs, one by Big Mama Thornton, one by guitar great Lonnie Johnson and this one by another Sun recording artist Junior Parker, while Elvis would become ...The King....he fell short of matching Junior Parker.

You can't talk train songs and not mention....


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr3afP13L3k

This song has been covered by a ton that came later, a genuine classic.

[Avante]

Anyone into prison songs?

I have a ton of songs sang by actual prisoners right there in prison. Some as talented as anyone. And a couple did get into recording once released. Robert Pete Williams who killed a man became well known in the blues world and then there was.....Lead Belly, or Huddie Ledbetter.

This is his classic.

Been in a similiar situation, I gotcha.

I have a CD of demo's Coe did, none never released before. What a talent, too bad he lost his mind.

This was recorded right there in Angola Louisiana at the infamous Angola Peniteniary. This is where Lead Belly was discovered and Robert Pete Williams.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuHAkj69QRI

Aaron Neville does a great cover of this tune.

[Avante]

Of all the prison recording done and there were tons of them this tune stands alone, it's amazing. The artist...Tangle Eye...was called that because his eyes went every which away, haha!!!! And nobody seems to know his real name.

A band took this....Tangle Eye...name.
