Keep on Rockin', Chuck!

Your era was the one that put the Rock in Rock-n-Roll.

Everyone is as young as their heart and soul allows them to be. Everyone has something to learn and everyone has something to teach.

Glad you liked it Mike, it really does hit home and make you wonder what happened to life and the music industry and you can see why so many Indie labels have surfaced, this video gives you a reality check of something or some part of life we all let go of or have let slip away!
P.S. the making of Woodstock movie is coming out on August 15 40 years after it all began with premier showing at the Bethel theatre for about $950.00 a seat before it hits the streets

This thread has been a trip down Amnesia Lane for me. Now I'm thinking of all the money iTunes is going to get from me tonight. Thanks!

Disco put me out of work for a long time and then Rock & roll was suppose to make a come back and never really did until 1985 I called it the retirement fund started by Kiss , when disco came out I went from Edgar to Johnny winter to Rick Derringer and then out of work for a while but was offered many Disco show band Jobs.. my reply was NO THANKS! To think I could of been a member of KC & the Sunshine Band!

well I didn't mind the disco stuff but it was the quality disco I preferred( I know a lot of you are going say what quality)
Chic, EWF, early Michael Jackson, Bros Johnson, and funk of course, very early Kool & The Gang, not that crap they did in the late 70's early 80's, Parliament, Crown Heights Affair. These were the good ones as opposed to some of the disco rubbish that was out there.
Bernard Edwards was a great bass player, how many samples are there of 'Good Times'..thousands of 'em.
Some of those bands were a bass players dream to play(if you like that sort of thang!!)

Well Terry I will agree with you on the fact there was some good Funk players like Louis Johnson had the thumb for popin riffs, but I just never got the night fever of BeeGeeitousor doing the Hustle! (sick Dance) I mean if I want to listen to some good synced out Funk then there is one band that gets that feeling going for me especially the Bass and that's Rocko
Tower of Power, check out there live version of Soul Vaccination off of Tower of Power Live, Tight as a machine that needs no oiling on the Chop's to cook

Disco existed for one reason - it was an attempt to kill live music. Club owners could charge the same cover and pay one person to play records as they charged when they paid a whole band. As I was a professional soundman at the time, it was a direct and deliberate assault on my livelihood, so I'd have hated it even if it wasn't really crappy, boring music, and a truly firetrucked stlye-over-substance lifeview. (I will, however, admit to a certain enjoyment of the ladies' fashions it spawned - but that doesn't make me a bad person, does it?)
