Trivia Game - me vs. Avante ( got Jones)

[cantthinkofanything]

what's the name of Billy Gibbon's most famous guitar?

[Avante]

You got a real bad case of....Avanteitist....slick. That will not work, ok?

Billy Gibbons most famous guitar? You can't be serious, is it close to "MuddyWaters".....,hahaha!!!!!!!!!

I had a feeling you were too simple to be a challenge, yep.

Educate yourself son.




T-Bone Walker another Texan was the father of the electric guitar not Muddy Waters. T-Bone started recording as far back as 1928. Then there's Elmore James, a HUGE influense on Brian Jones (yep, The Rolling Stones)






Ok, done with ya shorty, you and got Jones can argue who knows less.

[Avante]

Everywhere I go out there, there is always some idiot who simply can't fathom the idea of a cat who is knee deep into a lot of different interests so here they come acting re ed like this littlle re . Then after I totally destroy them it's..."you Googled that"....hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why not just accept reality?

In the book...The BIG Book of the Blues.... on page 476 it talks about Gibbons having a guitar made out of that one room shack Muddy Waters once lived in, that's why it was called the "Muddywood".

That is where I get my knowledge from, a gigantic home library not Google.

[Avante]

One last thing....

Only an idiot tries to play trivia using their opponents strenghts, you go with their weaknesses.

I love it here for that reason so many of you totally clueless about most things, yep, big fish, small pond.

I changed my mind, I'm going to use this thread to talk some music.

The original "Cocaine Blues" from 1927.

Luke Jordan recorded about half a dozen sides, he was in the Piedmont school of them blues (Kentucky, the Virginias and Carolina's)



Keep in mind back then they had race records, blacks listening to blacks and whites listening to whites. Obviously there were exceptions.

When Justice a hillbilly recorded his Cocaine Blues in 1929 few white folks knew about Luke Jordan and so it went.





Keith Richards

[Avante]

Obviously ya can't talk them Cocaine Blues and not talk...




JJ Cale one of those greats a little under the radar.

This cat was a huge influense on Bob Dylan, they were there in Greenwich Village together in the early 60's.




The Gary he speaks of was ......

[Avante]

Frankie and Johnny
Pretty Polly
John Henry
Staggolee/Stack O' Lee/Stagger Lee
He's In The Jailhouse Now
CC Rider

All spawned an amazing amount of covers and variations, all recorded prior to 1930.

But it usually took something like this to wake people up to those old tunes.
