Perhaps?! But the real question gatordavisl is: Can he rip on the, "boogie blues scale"? (That flatted 3rd NEEDS to be there!)
Great point here, I see Lee staying back as the first pass option on rebounds with Fland getting up court on the opposite wing for the pass ahead. What really works in our favor is Haugh's and Condo's speed filling the lane with Fland. Good times ahead...
Any blues player can if it is a minor pentatonic scale. I spent YEARS riffing on that. So simple and yet so great.
Ladies and Gents, in this song, you will see the greatest piano solo in rock music history, courtesy of Billy Powell. I’ve posted this in the Pub before; Billy Powell was a LS roadie. One day, he sat at a piano and played some stuff during a break. He was heard by Ronnie Van Zant and was put in the band. Billy Powell was a concert pianist!! True story! Thanks eastowest, great video!
You probably wouldn’t like the Pub, which is ok because of your spot-on basketball analysis/posts on NBN.
Absolutely correct. Everything afterwards would be considered "contemporary" rather than "classic". And that doesn't even consider whether the artists beginning with the New Wave wrote/sang songs that were up to the standard or not. Personally, the 80s music was really fun to listen to, and some of it had some profound lyrics (no, not U2, but that is just me) but if I had to make a call, this was around the time music was far less about making music and more about making money. Early on, I would not blame the artists per se, but if you want to make it and someone says "do it our way and you will" then you are sort of a sellout of the art. And so, it begat the corporate takeover of the music industry. And it hasn't been "back to normal" since, except at the local level. Too many of us are too busy to let go of the conventional and find those artists who aren't sellouts. And so, we listen/support what is handed to us or we support the classic rock bands (why do you think there are so many oldies touring these days?). It is what it is. Well, everything I said is absolutely correct, but the obvious exception is Disney Radio. I mean, Disney means nothing but excellence. They found, nurtured, and presented artists for us to truly worship. I mean, how could a young, poor woman like Brittany Spears get her art out there without Walt's progeny's assistance? I seriously doubt we would have found "Oops!...I Did it Again" on our own. Right up there with that tiny recording studio in the southern outlands finding Elvis, Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis. Can you imagine??? Well, at least we know that Brittany put in the hard work so that other elite artists can be found with less rigor. You know, like Taylor Swift. Bless her heart...
Good stuff. I guess this is right up there with "who is the greatest rock drummer (or drummer in general) ever". Everyone has some hard opinions. And it all depends on the definition of what is a piano solo. If it is an interlude in a bigger arena of a song then that is one thing. If it is isolated without any accompaniment then that is quite another. And if it is mostly the song - or a major part of the song - then that is a third option. And so, for me, I will just leave this for consideration as an alternative top-of-the-mountain. Enjoy and be in awe:
Get off my lawn!!! BTW, just because we "heard" of them in the early (or WAY early) 80s does not mean they began in the 80s. IMO, about the best example of this is Dire Straits. Them's is about as classic as they come.
Yeah, Auburn fan is right up there with Tennessee fan (and maybe even Arkansas fan). They thought they FINALLY got over the hump and then...SURPRISE!!!
Question, did she sink her career with Snow White or can she overcome? I want her to remain. Too much oomph to walk away.
Anyway... The backcourt of Xaivian and Boogie solves one problem we had on inbounding plays, especially in the late game stages. We usually had Walter inbounding the ball this season (because he was the best at it). But that meant our best free-thrower wasn't going to be the guy they needed to foul. Fland is 83.3%, and Lee is 79%. Both pretty darned good and both should be excellent passers. A.J. Brown also shot 82% this past season. Haugh was an eyelash under 80% (actually, he was over 80% for most of the season but had a rash of missed freebies in the NCAAT that brought his percentage down). So we have some good options to receive the pass.
Agree completely. To win the big dance it almost always takes outstanding guard play and leadership in the backcourt that is also steady and clutch. Look at Duke this year. Their front court was all early first round draft choices. But Gators were the winners. It is a time tested recipe for tournament success.
Audiogatorjim... Agree regarding Billy Powell's solo. My stage name back in the 90's was, "Mr. Breeze"! I played harmonica and my favorite part of, Call Me The Breeze was that walk-up outro at the very end!
