Peter that's a good one.
 
Eventually, non-stop K.G. just became too much.  That was ALL that they were playing. Four plus hours of non-stop Kenny G. Honestly, I wasn't sure whether they were playing different songs that all sounded alike or just one song over and over and over.
 
Luckily, I was able to convince my wife who was with me that my putting in my earphones and dialing in some real music on my iPod was not an attempt to dial her out, but rather necessary for my sanity. Either that or she just got tired of me complaining.
 
Eventually we got home to Minneapolis at 2:30 AM this morning.

I had a similar experience calling ADT security systems - they had me on hold and looped the same crappy song over and over and over and over . . . I had to hold the phone away from my ear. When someone finally picked up, after taking care of business, they asked if there was anything else that I needed - I told them that it was cruel and unusual punishment to subject their customers to that music.
 
Back on topic - listened to that legendary Canadian band Max Webster - Universal Juveniles; it has this gem on it:

Finishing my work day listening to Michael Hedges - Watching My Life Go By
 
Jazzy - those 'shred' videos kill me!  :-D

non-stop K.G.
 
What's the difference between Kenny G & an Uzi?
 
The Uzi stops after 100 repeats....

Non stop Kenny G, and then they wonder why bad things happen at airports...I can see myself resorting to cannibalism in that situation, just so the screams could drown him out...that Max Webster/Rush collaboration was cool; I've never heard it before...only once have I been on permahold and not minded;the lineup was things like Roy Orbison, Everly brothers, Patsy Cline...I actually thanked the person when I was done for their hold music choices; it should be completely evident that if you gotta put people on hold, play GOOD music and they won't try to tear your head off through the phone when they are finally attended to...Tony...Oh, last night was the new solo King Buzzo (Melvins) album 'this machine kills artists'...acoustic Melvins essentially...

Not sure whether it's the incoming Summer Solstice or the Honey Moon, but I got the call from Hoops McCann, so my annual Donald and Walter mania has begun, it's Perfection and Grace, the smile on my face.  I AM going back to My Old School !
 
-Citizen Steely Dan (the compilation)
-Alive in America (with 'Josie' now transposed down to D, a high fastball 'Bhoddisatva' with Dennis Chambers on drums, a sublime live 'Aja')
-Two Against Nature
-Everything Must Go
 
Donald's . . . .
 
-The NightFly (my favorite cover of 'Ruby,Ruby' with Michael Omartian's piano solo and Abraham Laboriel's bass lines)
-Kamakirriad  
-The New York Rock and Soul Review (with my favorite versions of 'Pretzel Logic' and 'Chain Lightning':  who knew they were nuts for The Rascals?)
-Sunken Condos
 
and Walter's . . .  
 
-Eleven Tracks of Whack (it's whacked, alright . . .)
-Circus Money  
 
I'm constantly dumbfounded at how well Walter covers bass and guitar, and even more dumbfounded no one ever mentions this.  See if YOU can play both of his parts on 'Gaslighting Abbie' !
 
THIS oughta keep me busy for a while.  Guess I'll take my big black cow and get outa here . . .

I still didn't edit enough:
 
The bass lines on 'Gaslighting Abbie' are from Tom Barney, WB plays bass and guitar on five of the nine tracks on 'Two Against Nature', including the title track.
 
OOPS.

Tom Barney also plays wonderfully on their Alive in America album...

Pete Seeger's Turn! Turn! Turn! (to Everything There Is a Season) played by the officiating minister at my 84 year old father's funeral service on Saturday. Had absolutely no idea until then that most of the lyrics,are adapted word-for-word from Chapter 3 of the Book of Ecclesiastes.

My thoughts are with you, Brian, with the passing of your father.
