Hey Jung,
First time I am seeing this. Glad you posted again. Very touching Lennon and Harrison were two special people. They took a stance on their believes. That’s why they are my favorite Beatles.
Good job Jung.

Hey Jung
Loved your comment. Hit the nail on the head my friend.
Insight and perspective from everyone. I think sometimes it takes all the differing points of views and opinions expressed to get a clearer glimpse at the truth. Truth is such an elusive enigmatic thing.
Have a good one.

Hey Michael , Where did you grow up? Just curious.
Yea you are so right with the injustice that went on back then. You know you said Ed Sullivan
He was god sent. All the acts that premiered on his show. He really had a diverse show, when you stop and think. I’m not sure if he is in the Rock & Roll Hall. If not he should be. I guess you would need to add Dick Clark American Bandstand, Where the Action Is and a few others show.
Actually I read once that if Carl Perkins did not have a accident he would have been equal to Elvis. If my memory serves me well. Carl was a great artist and Eddie Cochran, Bill Harley were too. But remember back then R&R was considered the Devils music.. What a joke.
There this band Blackberry Smoke that just did a song I never heard by Little Richard called
Southern Child.
A great song, have you ever heard this one?
Have a good day my friend.

Hey Jacki , John could not have planned it. There was luck involved for sure.
When I was married my wife and I shared the same birthday. Again dumb luck .

Good points Michael, Some I agree with and some I don’t. Since you are an American and me too. ( Love your Flag ) I think a lot of it has to do with. Where you were brought up. I’m sure if I lived in the deep south I would be exposed to different music than say someone who lived up north or on the coast or the heartland.
So it’s a hard question to answer. I also believe when you talk rock & roll you have to give a lot of credit to the father of R&R . That would be the Blues. All those early great blues players. i.e. Robert Johnson, Muddy, Howling the list goes on and on. My all time favorite is Buddy Guy.
One thing I remember was my mother played records by Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole and other Black performers. To this day I love that music. It’s imbedded in my head and soul.
You mention that the Beatles helped turn people on to these artist. Some of that is true. But who turned the Beatles onto those people. I’m sure they were Americans or someone who had access to American music. So some Americans were listening to those artists.
I respect your thoughts and l am glad you shared them Michael. Like I said. That’s what music is all about. Personal choice.
I liked your 4 legged stool with the legs being Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Roy Orbison, and the Everly Brothers. This is probably true. In fact it is true.
With that I want to wish two John’s a Happy Birthday on Oct. 9.
John Lennon and John Entwistle
Have a great day Michael.

Thanks Mark for the info. So what time is the live event?
If I am around I would check it out. If not then I will catch it on you tube. So you are doing electric on Sam Cooke A change is gonna come. Great looking forward to both songs’
Have a good evening

David ,
That so true what you said about artists citing Chuck Berry rather than Elvis as a major influence. As Mel Brooks says – It’s good to be the King
Hopefully your parents kept them. Maybe that something you can share with your children.
Enjoyed the commercial video, even liked the music. Have a good one David.

Mark , I watched a few of the you tube. Great job on Blind Faith Can’t find my way home and Pretenders – I’ll stand by you. I must have listen to at least eight. I really like the Marshall Tucker Can’t you see. That was well done along with Tennessee Whiskey.
Good job. You have a ton of video’s I intend to watch them all. Also subscribed and thumbs up.
You always seem to have a theme in your square words, pictures. Pretty cool. Do you ever play electric guitar?
Also Heather has a unique soulful bluesy voice. I like her singing.

Mark,
I will defiantly check you out on You Tube. I guess it’s sort of like the you tube videos Playing for Change. I really enjoy them. Like you said it’s amazing you can be playing with other musician half way around the world. Not really knowing them. That’s how powerful music is and can be.
Thanks for the tip and I will check you out on You Tube. Mark you enjoy your day.

Good morning Mark,
I just listen to the rendition of Waiting for the Waiter that you and the other musicians performed. You did an excellent job and I would like to thank you for sharing this.
I am glad Mona & Lisa got to see it too.
It’s funny how this pandemic has force musicians to come up with new way to perform music.
You and your mates should be proud. Great stuff. Hope you can share other performances.

Hey Jung,
Interesting on how Beethoven came about. Meaning with his sister into classical music. I knew the meaning of song but not how it came about. Great research Jung. I had the pleasure to see Chuck four times in my life. He was the true King of Rock & Roll in my eyes. He was a great guitarist for his time, He was a true showman on stage. He was a great song writer. Now this is my opinion and I’m sure a lot would disagree with me. I know they call Elvis the King put to me Elvis was a performer and great one. But he didn’t write his songs. Chuck was an artist, who wrote his own material. And because of that I consider him the true King of Rock & Roll.
I know a lot will not agree. But that’s ok. That’s what music is all about. Personal choice.
Hail Hail Rock & Roll…
David, Never saw those Snoopy Movie Cassettes. The picture you used. Is that one you still have? If so that amazing and must be worth some money.

I agree Thomas, It would have been different and I’m sure that’s why he turned it down.
But it would have been interesting. Maybe they should have went after Robert Plant.
But yes Roth was the best.
