Musical Jeopardy
| 
Apr 9 20:24 UTC 2000 |
As suggested by jules.....
Usual Jeopardy rules: someone enters a hint, whose answer takes the form of
a question. Whoever guesses the right question can give the next hint, or
pass the honor on to someone else. Let's keep the hints relevant to music
or musicians, please.
The first hint is "Reginald Kenneth Dwight"

Clue: The artist behind _Trout Mask Replica_, he used to perform with Frank
Zappa and the Mothers of Invention on occasion in the early to mid 70's.

Actually, his REAL real name was Don Vliet. He added the
"Van" because he thought it sounded better.
You also could have asked how he got the "Beefheart" moniker.

I'd've asked a more open-ended question: "what's so great about Beefheart?"
but I'm not sure anyone could answer it to my satisfaction.
I've *tried* to like his music, really I have.. I also know several people,
whose musical tastes I (otherwise) respect, who seem to feel he's a genius.
I guess I just don't get it..

I'd have to agree with you, Mike. I'd always heard how _Trout Mask Replica_
was such a ground breaking and essential album, so I bought it and tried many
times to listen to it, but never really enjoyed it. The Beefheart I enjoy is
the stuff he didwith Zappa, like _Bongo Fury_.

Start with 'Tropical Hot Dog Night' from Shiny Beast (bat chain puller).
Don't listen to the words, just get into the groove. Then have fun with
the lyrics.
They may have been bragging, but the title of this Charlie Parker, Dizzy
Gillespie, Bud Powell, Charles Mingus and Max Roach album is aptly titled.

Way to go, david. Do you have a copy? I got my vinyl at a record show in
Ann Arbor while looking for something else. For the rest of you, this was
recorded in May of 1953, when a Toronto, Canada jazz society invited what
they considered the five greatest jazzmen of the day to appear together.
This is really HOT!!!!!
Ok david, you're up!

I used to have a tape of it. When I was living down in the Tampa area, a
friend of mine's dad taped me -alot- of stuff from his **very** large vinyl
collection. I think Iloaned this tape to someone. I haven't seen it in about
3 years. I really need to find out if s available on CD.
This solo Bob Weir album has a cheesy picture of Bob kneeling on one knee,
holding an acoustic guitar.
