With a number of southern states having to cope with the immediate effects of the BP oil crisis (though, like slow moving oil, it will eventually spread to all of us in its impact), it seems appropriate to dedicate this week’s music thread to our friends in The South. Whether it’s Southern artists, songs about The South,  music that comes from The South (jazz, blues, zydeco, country, etc), whatever songs have a connection, feel free to choose any at all.

Let’s start this off with several dedicated to the biggest initial victim of this spill, Louisiana…hang in there N’awlins:

Jambalaya – Hank Williams

Mr. Bojangles – Sammy Davis Jr.

King Creole – Elvis Presley

Born On The Bayou – Creedence Clearwater Revival

Steely Dan – Pearl of the Quarter

Brown Sugar – Rolling Stones

House of The Rising Sun – The Animals

Moon Over Bourbon Street – Sting

And a couple from Tom Petty and Mr. Charles to round it out:

Rebels – Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Southern Accent – Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Gerogia – Ray Charles

Y’all’s turn!

I saw these guys in 99 right after the big Tornado… They were about the only event that didn’t cancell for that month and they donated all the proceeds to help people…

Great Band…

Okay.
I’ve tried to figure out the band that’s going to Montana, but there are no clues.

Have a pity on people who cannot access youtube and tell me, please, pretty please with a cherry on top, what band it is that you are talking about?

Our neighbors with fast Internet were gone, but we didn’t feel it was right to log on and view the youtubes.

So, what band is coming to Montana that you are going to see and have your daughter wear ear-plugs?

The Black Crowes!

Kiddo is excited because it’s the first REAL rock concert I am letting her go to. It’s during the daytime and outdoors.

Dum, dum, dum – guitar riff and then dum-dum dum and then Baby baby – close my eyes – Love the Black Crowes!!!

Thank you for replying.

We don’t do concerts anymore, but we buy DVD concerts and watch them then.

We’re older, so what can we say?

LOL

No Lise,
I am what I am
I have thought of a few fun names though
If I were to go there as an alternate personality…..
bubblewrap
OO711
scratch and sniff
You could really have a laugh coming up with
alternate names.
I only visit there on occasions
and try to drop the planet name
so far I have been under the radar
No banning

Just got home –
I LOVE scratch and sniff ! LOL –
Oh, do it, lots of fun could be had with that one & I’d surely get banned with some of my naughty comebacks 😀

I’ve come up with a few alternate monikers, just for the exercise of envisioning the theme they’d carry –
I’m going to check EYE (s) again & see if it was just an HP glitch –

O/T : I hated wearing my badges at Huff (and didn’t remember the email associated with the moniker, to ask them to remove them) so I got a new moniker :
EYE EYE EYE – no badges – it just got banned – for leaving the very same types of posts that the 2-badge (ugh) LiseLives does –

What the hell do they want from an ordinary no-badge poster ?

I’ll join in w/ the music when I get home from the office – hope everybody’s doing great –
