Fun Stuff...Music And Cheering Tonight,..New Year's Eve...BUT, The Mayor Does't Feel Like It

by cacostello cc
I guess, the mayor of New York City never misses tonight's big ball drop, music and all the big time celebrating in New York's Time Square to welcome in  New Year, but 2014 will be different. The mayor wants to stay home with family tonight. Bet, the traffic will be horrible...we understand that...the old Mayor Michael Bloomberg just doen't feel like it...O.K.  But, the new mayor-elect, Bill de Blasio will be busy AND, can't make it either. He's gonna be sworn into office at midnight...Oh...we understand, that's kinda important, isn't it?
So tonight,  US Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor will do the honors. Cool...Party on folks...Have a safe and wonderful New Year. Jan and Steve
I found this story HERE.
I'll post 'AULD LANG SYNE' from YOUTUBE, English translation with lyrics, from saminnyc. This is what the video page says: " Uploaded on Dec 31, 2011
We all sing Auld Lang Syne at midnight on December 31 but what are the lyrics? Most people don't know that it is a Scottish poem written in 1788 by Robert Burns and later set to the music of a folk song. I've put in the English translation.
This version of the song is by Dougie MacLean and is one of my favorite interpretations.
*************************************
Update: - I posted this exactly 2 year ago today and from your comments I now know why this song has lasted over 200 years. It's about connection with others. The kind that binds you to someone forever: loyalty, friendship, kindness, love; Even though that person might not be with you anymore. It's about the human spirit's ability to hope for the future while enduring rough times by remembering these precious human attributes.
Each year sees many suffer from both naturally created and man-made hardships. But with each there were others willing to step in and attempt to relieve some of that hardship, exercising the best of the human spirit. 
Thank you for your comments and all the well wishes and blessings you have sent to me over this last year.
As we ring in the new year remember to take a cup of kindness for the days of auld lang syne."

Who's STANLEY CLARKE?..or..Just Who's Who In Bass? JAZZ Stuff

by cloud2013 cc
Where have I been, anyway? I've just discovered STANLEY CLARKE, and HERE...a bass guy... not just a bass guy...A GENIUS BASS GUY, I might add. BARTLETT, thinks Clarke's absolutely amazing. He's a jazz bassist and composer, but WIKIPENDIA says he's also a jazz fusion, rock, pop, R & B, and funk bass guy...he played with some of Steve's favorites, HORACE SILVER and HERE and CHICK COREA and HERE and the like, so many other genius jazz musicians. Steve said that VICTOR WOOTEN and HERE talked about him and says Stanley inspirired him and was one of his heros.
Clarke made many albums with others and solo albums too, and, in the '70's, his album called 'School Days' full album, [thanks Jimmy Jammer] is one of the most famous bass solo recordings of all time. So, here's a short list of the best, in my humble opinion, I know, I know there's more fantastic bass people, but, I can't think of them right now, so here's my list for just today...the best bassists of all time...  Let's see, there's JACO PASTORIUS and HERE ROCCO PRESTIARICHARD BONA and HERE, MARCUS MILLER and HERE, VICTOR WOOTEN [link above], TAL WILKENFELD, RICK LAIRD, and HERE, BARTLETT ON BASS [smile], DONALD DUCK DUNN and HERE and of course STANLEY CLARKE Can you think of any others?...Wait a minute, I just thought of someone else...there was this really good bass lady, who I saw and heard performing with STEVIE WONDER and HERE on a video once. Who was she? I'll try to find her. I never forget names  I always know right now......just a moment please. Jan
I'm gonna post this video I saw of STANLEY CLARKE doing a really cool bass solo on an upright bass or double bass that I found on YOUTUBE. Jan
It's called 'Staney Clarke upright bass solo', from Михаил Крайнов. This is what the video page says: " Uploaded on Jan 15, 2007
Great solo on upright bass by Stanley Clarke".

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC's Really Worked Hard, Earning That BIG 'Weird' Title

by ruffin_ready cc
Today, I read an old story from last April anyway...April 12th, to be exact, about WEIRD AL YANKOVIC and HERE from Ryan Reed from THE ROLLING STONE'cause it caught my eye and I haven't heard about 'Weird Al' for quite awhile....what's he been up to...anyway?
From Reed's story, link above,...sounds like Al's been up to alot of real 'weird' stuff [of course, that's the way he's suppost to be. SMILE,]...WOW...This is a fun post to read, especially, if you're an old weird Al fan and remember giggling while listening to  Weird Al sing 'Eat It'., like I do.
 I've never been to a real Weird Al's gig before, and I feel like I'm right there...in " the elegant Tennessee Theatre."...with Ryan Reed and a bunch of grinning school kids, playing 'hooky', and knowing we're all getting away with it as we spit paper-wads back and forth at each other..A good-weird time  had by all. Never to be forgotten, and treasured always.. I'll find some weird Al video links and post them below. O.K? It's just me again... Jan

'Make Love, NOT War'.....AND, So, It's Christmas...A Time Of Change

DLF PUBLIC SCHOOL INDIA cc, see link
O.K.....I've posted the video before 'cause, it's Christmas again, and there's such a hopeful message in the video of having peace....., and there are whispers of war again this year in some areas of our world.
My hope is folks see this story...and realize war or peace are  choices that we each make whenever we decide. AND, if we can choose peace and life for just one day, there's nothing stopping us from choosing peace and life everyday and really live in a world where we are evolving and kinder to ourselves and others.

by  Man Alive! cc
Here's a lady, from Dublin, with lotta style and originality too. She loves the bass, and wrote 'Johnny Got A Boom Boom'  with lyrics [thanks Samrawit Sisay] and HERE in 2007. It was on her 'Love Tatoo' Album from 2009. Always great to watch... has her own band, her music style is known as 'rockabily', and has played with JEFF BECK/guitar and HERE...and what I've noticed with Beck is, he always performs with beautiful, exceptionally talented gifted women...and IMELDA MAY and HERE is no exception. She has been compared to jazz great BILLIE HOLIDAY.  and HERE
I looked, and looked or more info. on May...what happened to her after 2012?.... Finally, I found it, she got pregnant in February 2012, her husband, DARREL HIGHAM/guitar was the guitarist in her band. They were married in 2002. Their baby, VIOLET KATHLEEN HIGHAM was born in August 2012. Now, I understand.

JAMES BROWN.... A Powerful Secret, Used For Crowd Control After Rev. Dr. MARTIN LUTHER KING jr. Death

cliff1066,  cc,link below
Each morning, as we drink our coffee, Steve reads to me...and we both learn about something new, usually about music or things of the spirit...it's another special time together, along with our rehearsing tunes ... getting Steve ready for gigs.
This morning, BARTLETT picked up 'The Music Lesson' a book by VICTOR WOOTEN/bass and HERE. He's one of our favorite bass guys. Steve recomends this book to all his students and we both really enjoy it too. Steve BARTLETT ON BASS started reading to me on the bottom of page 105, [just in case you want to look this up too.] AND, I will look for some more info. online 'cause this is very interesting to me.....Did you know, that after Rev. Dr. MARTIN LUTHER KING jr.'s assination in 1968, PRESIDENT JOHNSON and other government officals called upon the king of soul JAMES BROWN to help stop and to prevent spreading black rioting in Boston and across the whole country? After that, James Brown said that he was considered " the most dangerous man in the world" by the government because...'cause if he could stop a riot, he could start one...just as easily...WOW.,.. and the government kept files on many musicians, like BOB MARLEY and HERE, JIM MORRISON, ELVIS PRESLEY and HERE just because of their influence on the folks in this country.
O.K....I founds some more info. about James Brown and his ability to influence  and calm folks back in 1968, after King's assination on YOUTUBE. One is called 'The Night James Brown Saved Boston' from jackhogan1 . This is all the page says: " Uploaded on Nov 24, 2008"     I'll post more video links below. O.K? Jan

DAVID BOWIE...To Ground Control

On January 8th, my 'Starman' turned 65. I always been amazed by this guy, alien?...what an out-of-the-box showman, an original,.. DAVID BOWIE's always entertaining to me. Steve will check him out, and then will give his opinion. 'He's entertaining and authetic.' says Steve
It must be the artist in me. David Bowie's an unique whole package...I love the visual effects to his music...all the colors, costumes, make up, the mystery...I'm not sure, what I'll see or who I'll see when I see him. 'What's next?... I wonder... Yes, it's the artist in me. He has lots of charisma, or is it courage? He's sometimes just plain shocking O.K?. Jan

BEATLES Awarded Again ....Celebrate Their Lifetime Achievements Next Month, Before 56th Grammys

by oddsock CC
Give the Lifetime Achievement Award to the BEATLES and HERE....they've won everthing. Well, I guess...you surprised?...me neither.... guess, it began way back in 1964...the Beatles winning great stuff, that is. I found this story in THE ROLLING STONE a few days ago, and it reminded me of 1964, the Beatles,THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW and the way it was...
Yes, I remember it like it was yesterday.... 1964, hummmm...pause...drifting off in my mind.....yea...[quieter now]... I was 14 years old...'groovy', I was just starting to notice that BOYS were very cool, and kissing not so bad. In fact, I liked it.
I'd even pretended I was kissing GEORGE HARRISON and HERE, my favorite Beatle, of course, while I'd listen to 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand', [thanks FlameClawBeatles]...their tune that first started winning awards for them. Then, I talked in my best 'Beatle's Accent' while I'd take my weekly guitar lesson with my best friend Astrid Sather, who loved PAUL McCARTNEY and HERE the best...we knew we'd both be singing with the Beatles someday, and would win more awards with them. The very best, biggest and greatest awards of all. WOW...hormones can make you believe in the BIGGEST everything, can't they?...cool. But Folks, that's the way it really was when I was 14 in 1964, it was BIG, the Beatles were BIG news. the BIGGEST news.
The Rolling Stone, link above, says that the Beatles have won 25 awards over the years...and, I believe them. They'll get this Lifetime Achievement Award, given by 'Recording Academy', before the Grammys ceremony in January 2014 along with some other cool folks in a special ceremony.
I thought it was very cool that the photographer JIM MARSHALL and HERE ,who took those wonderful old photos of the Beatles and 'Woodstock' and HERE too back in the '60's, and Beatle Paul McCartney as a solo artist, will be honored at the same ceremony. Jan

MARTIN SALINAS/guitar/vocals, KENNY WILLIAMSON/drums and my BARTLETT ON BASS did this song often at Martin's and Barb's LIQUID SOUL COFFEE ROASTER's in McKenna, WA. each week, before Liquid Soul closed it's doors in Aug. 2011. Thanks for reading my stuff. Jan

Wow...A Wonderful Night of Music at THE NEW TRIAD ARTS THEATER, Not Just For Kids

 cassie_bedfordgolf cc
Yesterday, I told everyone I'd check out The Triad Theater last night. This is my report. Jan
UPDATE: 12/8 [Sunday morn]...Boy, was 'I' misinformed about the gig at THE TRIAD ARTS THEATER last night. It was NOT just for kids and NOT just Don, Bob and Steve jamming and putting on some music on for kids.
So, Here's the whole truth and nothing but the truth... Ready?
O.K...last night at the Triad there was music, lotsa absolutely beautiful music,...all kinds of music. There were actors with more fantastic music...so, well done and delightful. There were laughs and soft touching moments, children too. Christmas carols and FREE Christmas cookies. It was a wonderful evening...I'm so glad I was there.
In fact, the whole evening was FREE. Jayne and everyone at the Triad giving back to our community and celebrating the talent in this area. I thank you Triad for the awesome evening..a night and thoughtfulness I won't soon forget. Jan

It's the first Sunday of the month and that can mean only one thing...It's  time for a JAZZ jam in Olympia, bring your axe and charted tunes....it's at TRADITION'S CAFE AND FOLK ART @ 2 pm. BARTLETT ON BASS will be making an appearance...me too. When? well, after 2 pm, of course. Music ends 'round 5 pm. There's 'the real jazz book' and someone to help find charts, if you don't have any...so, nothing should be in the way for everyone to join in if you want to jam...all levels welcome. For all jazz going on in the Olympia area, check at OLYMPIA JAZZ CENTRAL

A Stranger In A Strange Land?...No Way...It's LEON RUSSELL

by CLender cc
Well, this guy is one of my favorites... he's no stranger to me, I bet you recognize him too...It's LEON RUSSELL, and it seems like Leon's been 'round just forever that's all....the late '60's is when I first noticed him and he became an instant hero to me.  As time went on and I learned more about him...well, I just seemed to love him more and more.
O.K....Russell was and is a very gifted genius song writer, not only writing awesome songs that he has recorded himself, but he's written so many songs for other musical artists. He has played with so many musical legends..like Bob Dylan, Joe Cocker, Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, The Byrds, The Carpenters, George Harrison, The Rolling Stones, Glen campbell, Elton John, Tiajuana Brass,...and so many more, see WIKIPENDIA link below.. I believe the greatest and most talented musicians of the 60's and '70's. ...WOW.
It was no wonder that he was put into the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME in 2011, it was about time, I say. [See MY story about Leon's Hall of Fame entrance in 2011 HERE]  But, he did more than just rock and roll, there's country, folk, gospel, and blues too...really everything. He is respected and honored by musicians of all genres, and has written, or jointly written lotsa big hit tunes for them all, as well as been on stage performing along side them all. He's a musician's musician. Please read his bio from WIKIPEDIA to get the whole list of the number of musicians that his life has touched and enhanced. O.K?
His inter-racial marriage in 1975 to 'Sly And The Family Stone' member MARY McCLEARY and, his unique odd sounding voice, ..was just like my 'want to be a singer' voice, just made Russell even more endearing to me always...he always sounded just like one of us 'common' folk. Love you Leon. Jan
