This weekend's musical treat

[TwoTankAmin]

Better late than never.

This week is another single song preformed by various artists over the years. It was written by Merle Travis and here he is performing it in 1955.



However, it was rally made famous by this guy.
Tennessee Ernie Ford | Oct 18, 1956

Live from Daryl's House was a great series. Though I detest Hall and Oates music and I'm not fond of Mr. Hall in general, the episodes with Joe Walsh, Cheap Trick, Darius Rucker, and Ceelo Green are all really good.

The American FBI advised radio stations not to play the song 16 tons when it came out. Merle Travis was investigated for writing it. It's been a favourite of mine since my mother explained the history behind it when I was a kid.

Tim Timebomb did a semi-recent cover of it.

Sincd my attempt to post The Commitments earlier in this thread and it was Zapped by YouTube, here is the movis soundtrack. In the movies the music is sometimes talked over ny the movie's dialouge. This is not on the soundtrack.

I just ordered this soundtrack CD. When I get a new CD my brother makes two dupes of it. One for playing in my car and the other for playing in the house. The original is not played and it becomes the ultimate backup, safe from harm.

Because I wanted to be sure it was free of the over the musdic dialogue, I am listening to it now. Hearing this in the movie is a lot more fun than just listening to the audio. The story itself is pretty good. But, it is better to have listened to the music on the CD than never having heard the music because you never watched the film. I have seen it a few times sine it came out iin 1991.

That was a fun film. The line about the lyrics in Whiter Shade of Pale always makes me laugh.

I'd also make a digital copy of those cds. Computer archives at home are inherently unstable for sure, but I had a few cds deteriorate back in the day.

With my low quality sound system I don't worry about audio quality - as I age my ears also deteriorate. So I digitized the lot in several different places and curate my own collection of recordings. The streaming services are far too limited and mainstream for discovering new artists, or digging out less mainstream old ones.

My PC Klipsch speakers (with a bass box) combined with a digital equalizer are my sound system. I is pretty decent considering what it cost me many years ago. Most of the music I listened to comes from Youtube. I have music almost 100 years old there. but the bast stuff are the live performances taped when nobody knew it or if it was done in quality. A lot of this stuff was also broadcast on TV and exists that way. But I also have a lot of music on CDs.

When I went to work in Saudi Arabia at the end of the 1970s, I, and my partners in the sound company helped me organize a collection of cassette tapes. These became pretty much obsolete and useless as the technology changed to CDs. By 1999 I was moving from direct dial to access digital to the internet. I had been doing all the banking and ultimately everything financially related for my parents. In the mid 80s. I did their banking at CitiBank where one dialed into the Citi computer system and did "online banking." Near the end of 1998 Citi announced the system would be migrating to the internet.

So I bought a new PC and got Windows 98 and the phone modem died not to long after. Along with that PC I got a decent sound system and began surfing Youtube for music. I am not registered on social media which means not a Google member. I do not subscribe to any music services but rely in what is free without registering on Youtube. Since my care is a 2013 Subaru it has a CD but onothing online.

My brother was a big deadhead and he trades a lot of show recording of them not normally publicly available, This then spread to an assortment of other bands and I started getting some dupes from him. Finally, I realized to hear some of my favorite music in my car. I had to buy the CDs. I even got a few tings which also involved live performance and I would buy a combo package with an audio CD and the video on a separate DVD. So today I probably own about 40 CDs.

In years passed it was still easy to find decent music on my car FM radio. This is no longer the case. I have come to believe that were three great eras musically speaking since the earl7 1900s. First came the world of jazz/ragtime/blues. This was greatly assisted by the rise of Radio. Next came the Big Band Era and then came the rock/motown revolution of the 1960s and early 70s. I am still waiting the 4th era. I am not very impressed by today's current artists.

I am not a big fan of classical music nor opera. I do recognizes their quality, but they do not get my motor running at all and i do not listen to them much at all. I can recognize quality music but not all of it excited me and some of it does the reverse. During the years I was involved with the sound company we did a number of shows which served to introduce me to some musical styles for the 1st time.

Well, this had to happen sooner or later. It is time for the Beatles. And I had to work really hard to hold it down to two posts and 10 songs.

As i have posted I loke all sorts of music. I would include Gospel in this. One of the best singers I have hear and who had the strongest voice in that respect was a gal singer for a gosspel group for whom we did the sound. Most singers ten to hold a microphone or ning into one on a stand get pretty close to the mike. This gal stood almost 2 feet fromthe it and here voice was still louder than any other singer i have ever worked with or seen from the audience.

So tonight's misova; treat is another two posts of 5 songes each, they are Gospel syle songs. Each thread constain 5 different versions of the same song. All are really good music.

The first song is The Prodigal Son. The song qwas written in 1928 by the artist below and so was the recording.

Before there was digital. Before, there were robots or records etc., there was still music and there were still machines. You could have a whole orchestra without a single human being.

An orchestrion is a 19th-early 20th-century self-playing musical machine designed to imitate an entire orchestra, featuring organ pipes, piano, and percussion controlled by pins on a cylinder or, later, perforated paper rolls. These automated instruments were often found in dance halls and hotels, with notable manufacturers including Welte and Hupfeld.

If you want to see the full film. Ry did not like the performance and refused to allow it to be released in the states. But the internet has made that decision moot.
