What's Playing Now

[Fritz The Cat]

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River
(1969, Fantasy)

Do you own 45rpm singles? This represents my youth.

[Fritz The Cat]

1973 US stereo reissue. Good dynamics. Listen to track A1 "Split kick": what a majestic introduction by the ebullient voice of Pee-Wee Marquette, the club's emcee-mascot.
Soon after this recording Clifford Brown died June 27, 1956, in an automobile accident.
Great piano playing by Horace silver at the jazz corner of the world.

[Fritz The Cat]

Witty kind of punk-rock from Austria. It's not Cats, it's Rats!

[Fritz The Cat]

Track B1 " Custard Pie". Same recipe as the Led Zeppelin meal?
Anybody knows the year of this german pressing?

[Fritz The Cat]

French label Black & Blue always made excellent recordings and pressings.
Superb guitar player and fellow musicians.

The Bee Gees - Bee Gees 1st
(1967, Atco) -1D / -1D

I don't have any CCR singles. I remember hearing Run Through The Jungle / Heard It Through The Grapevine playing non-stop on the jukebox in the Jr. High School cafeteria (and on the radio of course).

The Bee Gees - Bee Gees 1st
(1967, Atco) -1D / -1D

A highlight of psychedelic pop music and a picture showing all the optimism of the sixties in England.
Vince Melouney lead guitar.
Cover art by Klaus Voormann.

The magic of a 45rpm single lies in the full concentration you have to give to one song only. Or two.
Isn't that the essence of listening to music?

Keola & Kapono Beamer - Honolulu City Lights
(1978, Paradise) Artisan symbol in the deadwax




wonderful traditional and contemporary Hawaiian music and slack-key guitar from Keola Beamer. Karen & Richard Carpenter recorded the title song after hearing it on vacation in Hawaii.

[Fritz The Cat]

Oscar Moore "with the electrically-amplified guitar" and Johnny Miller on bass. Piano, bass and a guitar: 3 musicians, that's all you need!
Keep it simple.....

Keola Beamer - Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar In The Real Old Style
(1972, Music Of Polynesia)


[/url]

Slack-key guitar is a fingerstyle genre of guitar music that originated in Hawaii. Its name refers to its characteristic open tunings: the English term is a translation of the Hawaiian kī hōʻalu, which means "loosen the key"

thinking about my daughter who is vacationing with friends in Hawaii this week, so jealous.

I came into a bunch of native Hawaiian titles (not the cheesy stuff for vacationing Haoles) in the HPB clearance bin earlier this year.
