The first couple I heard were kind of New-Agey... decent enough background music. Then when Nashville Cats came out, well, that one just tore up the turn table and by the time Orange Blossom Special was done, the thing was in ashes, along with my brain. I just loved how he weaved those other tunes through it.<br /><br />He's got another one that's called "Heros", which is a series of fiddle "duets". The most noteworthy is a "sequel" to Devil Went Down to Georgia, featuring Johnny Cash (Narrator) Marty Stuart (Johnny), Travis Tritt (the Devil) and Charlie Daniels.bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-52939016655132803152010-03-20T09:27:43.880-04:002010-03-20T09:27:43.880-04:00A-Ha!

The Orange Blossom Special on that album is at a frenetic tempo by the end and includes the themes from Bonanza and The Flintstones in the middle. <br /><br />I am looking for that Mark O'Connor 'On The Mark' album in digital format. And another one called 'On The Rampage' which I have only on vinyl.<br /><br />He's great. He's played on so many albums cut in Nashville (both credited and uncredited)it's astonishing.<br /><br />I became aware of O'Connor while living out on a farm and next door to a girl who brought home a promo copy of one of his albums from the country radio station she worked at as a DJ. She used to call it "Wall to Wall Country Sunshine." WWCS, maybe? I guess the program manager decided he wasn't going to put any of it on the air so she took it home.stilladoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285627481905127205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-18559324545044596242010-03-18T20:12:14.810-04:002010-03-18T20:12:14.810-04:00"Stay Hungry.

When I look back on it all, like I’ve been doing these past weeks, it seems like it all happened to someone else.<br /><br />Good thing for the pictures… <br /><br />But believe me, if it wasn’t for these kinds of perks, I’d have quit that racket almost immediately. The demands my company made on its managers (and all employees, I should add) were tremendous. If it were any other industry, I’d have been out in 6 months.<br /><br />But all in all, I wouldn’t trade my experiences for anything.bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-72100736517566198262010-03-18T18:30:36.590-04:002010-03-18T18:30:36.590-04:00Cher:

Who goes to Amazon and searches under, “book by some regular no-name schmo who writes about his life”?<br /><br />That said; meeting The Loaf is one of my life highlights. The “Bat out of Hell” album is my “Deserted Island” CD… my all time favorite. In my humble opinion, Meat Loaf is one of the all time great rock singers. He has such range and power. And live, he just commands the stage as well as the audience.<br /><br />He did this one segment where he directed different parts of the audience to do a “call and response” bit, most effectively I might add, all without saying a word. It’s no wonder the guy kills, all over the world.<br /><br />I really wish I could have told him about how Bat Out of Hell is responsible for keeping me alive, while driving through snow and ice storms. Just seemed to be the wrong place to monopolize his time with one of my weirdo stories.bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-37107971995199193712010-03-18T09:05:36.420-04:002010-03-18T09:05:36.420-04:00Oh my gosh!
