Let's hear a song. Or tell me one you want to hear. Whatcha got?

Thanks for not being lazy and posting it.

I adored TLC and really miss that dead one.  What was her name again?  T-something? I loved her.

No problem Bro......

Not. T-bos or whatever her name was.

LISA.

Lisa Left-eye Lopez.

Those girls were all about the hypens.

Did she die before she made this song?

Yes. 

LOL

She died in a bus crash in South America.  Weird story.  Some people burn bright and then burn out.

She was really cool.  She touched me for some reason.   Like Amy Winehouse. 

I forgot about that song :) used to be one of my favourites:)

I'm gonna give it a listen.  Be right back, Beans.

Oh my gosh, it sounds like a Chicago Blues Bar right off the bat.  GREAT STUFF HERE.

Louisiana Red... He was born Iverson Minter, possibly in Bessemer, Alabama (though he would cite other birthplaces, too). His mother died shortly after his birth and his father was killed in a Ku Klux Klan lynching. He spent some years in an orphanage in New Orleans, before going to live with his grandmother in Pittsburgh. In the early 80s, he relocated to Chicago...  Born: March 23, 1932... Died: February 25, 2012.

WOW

His whole life was a blues song.  And his death.  That is material for his great great grandkids even.

Myself, I prefer Panama Red.

I don't think they even have that strain any longer. 

OK

I know what you mean. I LIKE them and I like Miranda Lambert for some weird reason.  Boy that was TOTAL HILLBILLY what you just played.  That was PAST COUNTRY.  HILL BILLLLY.
But if they can pull that off? They are GOOD.

WOW.

Those are solid gold. Thank you.  Who can ever fault Mr. Charles and that other group?  I know there is a Mayfield something ...oh yeah, Curtis.  I'll bet he is in there somewhere in that group you posted.

Thanks, Stu.

Oh wait.  That says, Maytals.  Nevermind.  Never heard of those fellas.

Toots and the Maytals were a big reggae group in Jamaica, mon.

I'm gonna love them.  I am going to listen right now. 

It's about the wedding of a girl named Etty and a guy named Johnson.

"One-pound-ten for de wedding cake, plenty bottle of cola wine. All de people dem dress up inna white fi eat on Johnson wedding cake, it is no wonder. It's a perfect ponder. While they were dancing in that barroom last night." This post was edited by Stu Spelling Bee at September 14, 2017 4:04 PM MDT

Wow.  Jamaican Zydeco.   Or something just as ska.


Do you know Ska?   It took me years to figure out what that was all about.


ska
/skä/

Not sure, maybe. But I have a colleague at work who's Jamaican and I visited Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, and a few other places, so I've come to understand the dialect a lot better. Yeah mon!
