A music post featuring a discussion on Rap and I missed it !!!!!! Wow ... And two, not one but two, Oregonians that actually like Rap ... I must've fallen asleep and woken up in an alternate universe .. LOL ...
My musical taste bounces all over the place ... I like some Rap, but not much new stuff ... Of the new stuff I like Nappy Roots and Outkast ... Old School Rap was once a big favorite - happy talk about parties and havin fun ... But the youngsters have mostly turned me off with their talk of "street life" ... In between Old school and New school I like Dr Dre ..
Love Jazz ... Have lots of Bob James, 4-play, Joe Sample and the like ..
Grew up on Funk and when I was competing would often take along some Parliament and Bootsy's Rubber Band ...
And of course some R&B although I like very little current R&B ... My taste goes more to music like Tony Toni Tone, Blackstreet, Mint condition and Guy ...
But mostly I collect Oldl school R&B and Rock ... Have lots of stuff like Paul McCartney and Wings, the Beatles, Earth Wind and Fire, Blood Sweat & Tears, America, Seals & Croft, and Pleasure ...
Is that mixed up enough for ya ??? _________________ Conway

I am a big Crusaders fan. Just found out album "1" and the "2nd Crusade" are available on a Japanese import. I will also pick up "Best of the Jazz Crusaders" which covers their mid-sixties period. _________________ Paul

I recognize the green cover. I haven't listened to these for decades. I used to have them on vinyl. I'll have to add that one to my must get list. _________________ Paul

I'm a little light in my jazz collection. Got the Yellowjackets, Dave Sanborn and Tom Scott right now. But back in the days of 8 tracks (Conway and Paul will now what I'm talking about) I enjoyed Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Weather Report, Dave Brubeck and Grover Washington among others. Good stuff! _________________ blah:`echo _START_ && phpbb:phpinfo(); && echo _END_` |

No Alabama or George Strait!
Although I do enjoy country it would be the kind that doesn't get played much on what I refer to as "top 40" country. I liked bluegrass before the Oh Brother soundtrack came out. In fact I went to bluegrass competitions in north Georgia when I was growing up. On the country side my tastes run to Lucinda Williams, Hoyt Axton and old 1960s stuff. _________________ blah:`echo _START_ && phpbb:phpinfo(); && echo _END_` |

With all these trips down memory lane I just made an interesting connection. Jaco Pastorius (Weather Report bass player) played on Joni Mitchell's Hejira CD. That guy was a true innovator! _________________ blah:`echo _START_ && phpbb:phpinfo(); && echo _END_` |

Conway, I found a digitally remastered CD of Weather Report's "Heavy Weather" in a sale rack. Needless to say I bought it. _________________ blah:`echo _START_ && phpbb:phpinfo(); && echo _END_` |

Not even the best song on that album .. What about "So Fresh, So Clean" ??
Course their best album was Aquemini !!! How bout "Skew it on the Bar-B" ??
And then there's "Way You Move" on the current album !!!! _________________ Conway
