'We Will, We Will Rock You'...The Song, The Musical.. The Everything, QUEEN

by J.A.Rose-Bartlett cc
Hi...'Good Morning'....Well, this morning we're 'working up' mostly jazz tunes online with YOUTUBE, and, I know this it's not jazz, but I saw a video from QUEEN and HERE, they were doing the song...'We Will Rock You'. Ive always liked that tune....so,thought I'd find out more about it. O.K? Did you know it was a song written for the group Queen by BRIAN MAY/guitar/vocals and  HEREi n 1977. It's been covered by just everyone...well, lots of folks anyway. AND, it's been made into a musical with a book by BEN ELDON, it was put into the GRAMMY HALL OF FAME in 2009, ROLLING STONE put it at 330 in their 500 Greatest Songs All Time,...well I guess,...just prooves that everyone loves this song. It's received lotsa awards...WOW,..check out WIKIPEDIA and HERE for more.
'We Will Rock You' has a famous partner song....It's 'We Are The Champions' and it is often played with it, and was also written by Brian May in 1977.
This is what May said about the song 'We Will Rock You' during a gig on their British tour in 1977.... " 'We did an encore and then went off, and instead of just keeping clapping, they sang "You'll Never Walk Alone" to us, and we were just completely knocked out and taken aback – it was quite an emotional experience really, and I think these chant things are in some way connected with that."   So, now we know that's how it all started...and, I'm sure glad it did...thanks, Brian May and Queen. Jan
Here's a link to Queen doing 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are The Champions' [ R0CKthis thanks for both]

Fixing Up Some 'Soul Food' With...LEON RUSSELL

BY UNKNOWN
I've always loved LEON RUSSELL, and HERE he's written so many wonderful tunes for himself and for lotsa other great musicians. I have always been amazed...all kinds of tunes,... rock, blues, pop, folk, country, soul, AND, that reminds me of the video and song, that I'd never heard before today from Russell, by Leon Russell, Marc Benno and Asylum Choir II  called 'Soul Food' created in 1967 to '69, first released in 1971, and now re-released, [thanks Crystal Longdon].
This is what the video page says: "  Published on Dec 1, 2013
"SOUL FOOD" from the album "ASYLUM CHOIR II" by LEON RUSSELL & MARC BENNO, 1971. No copyright infringement is intended; I do not own the rights to the music or photos used; video is intended only for entertainment. Please support the artists by buying their CD, which has been re-released and is available at the artists' internet sites."

So, what is 'soul food' anyway? Link from WIKIPEDIA. Sounds like it's origins started a long time ago...with the african-American slave trade, it was the everyday food of  the captured slaves being shipped to the Americas. Soul Food is still mostly seen and popular in the rural southern states of the U.S. and in the Black American population...  We like it...alot. Click HERE for a Soul Food Cook Book and looks like some delicious recipes. Jan

Amazing JAZZ FUNK or FUNK JAZZ, Fretless Bass For Today and Open Mic On Sunday

Fillmore Photography cc
Well, we're into jazz and funk too...so,there
is nothing better this morning than some JAZZY FUNK or FUNKY JAZZ, in my way of thinking. D.R. Emailed this to us...love it. Thanks D.R.. Can't wait for Steve to get home, so, I can show him.
Our morning's already been full of lotsa music...'bass music', of course...Steve just loves to play, so, played to me at 'coffee'...never know when I'm gonn a be blessed with his genius on the bass...he closes his eyes  you know 'zones out'...that's what I call it...well, he's not in this world anyway...and, we're both transported to heaven right away....today he 'zoned out' on his FRETLESS, and it sounds like a cross between a 'cello/harp' thing?...it's hard to find the words.... amazing anyway. I never get tired of his...what he calls it 'practice'...it's like NO practice I've ever known, in ALL those years of music lessons I had as a kid, not even close. Music just oozes out all over him...he becomes the music. Steve says that music's alive, and he just gets outta the way and music plays itself...what?...now, what does that mean? Not sure...But, it means something very special to him AND, that's all that matters, isn't it? AND with his innocent child-like acceptance and answer...the music just happens. That's what I know.  WOW.
Oh yeah...there's a wonderful open mic in Shelton this Sunday...so, go check it out. We went last month...it's always on every third Sunday of the month at THE SHELTON PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, address: 1430 Shelton Springs Road, in Shelton, WA.. We had a great time...there's great live music and FREE refreshments. Our friend Vinnie/trumpet hosts it. My kids will be here on Sunday from outta town, 'cause it's my birthday tomorrow, but, my daughter has to work tomorrow. Even though I'm ageless...it's aways fun to have a 64th birthday party anytime, isn't it? I bet, we'll get to go to Shelton next month.
Now, let me post some very cool video links below. That, my Steve or BARTLETT ON BASS will be checking out, or 'working up' this afternoon...I'm such a fortunate being to be blessed with so much music/art in my life...thanks to Steve and all the awesome, genius musicians in our area. Support Live Music and Musicians. of course, they work hard and really deserve it Jan

'Don't Stop Believing' NICK PITERA We Can Do Anything....Just Look

see photo credit
Just look at this, will ya....It's NICK PITERA again[see MY first story about Pitera from last June HERE ], prooving once again that we ALL can do just Anything and Everything we desire....if we're sincere and make an effort to make it happen.
This song...'Don't Stop Believing' [thanks, Nick Pitera] is called 'a cover'...in 'musician talk' that means that ...for example, Nick Pitera did NOT do the song originally. The song was done by a group called 'Journey' and HERE, it's their song...they did it first. I love the idea of 'covers'...it respects the original writers, singers, performers etc. of a song and gives them their credit due....and, to me it also says...'you guys did a great job, I love your creation and want to share it by performing it too. Thanks'....reminds me of Creative Commons. You?
Anyway, where was I? Oh yea.......this is a meaningful tune...I love the lyrics and message. AND, look Pitera sings both parts...both the male AND female voices...he does them beautifully too. Hows he do that?...Amazing. This is what Nick says about this video, with over 5 million views too..." Uploaded on May 21, 2009

Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/NickPitera
I fell in love with show Glee on Tues night. I then decided that I really wanted to sing their version of Journey's "Don't Stop Believing." I hope you like it.
Check out Glee here! http://www.fox.com/glee/
Both are live performances." Jan

About 'FREEDOM' With RICHIE HAVENS

see photo credit
Today, I found 'Freedom' by RICHIE HAVENS and HERE. This song drove Havens into the limelight...so to speak, when he did it at WOODSTOCK in 1969. I read that several performers were late at Woodstock...he was asked to s-t-r-e-a-c-h his performance...and the rest is history. It first began, when he sang that ol' spiritual 'Motherless Child', but in his own way and style and being told to 'streach' it added that in too...making it 'his' very own unique tune. I'll post it below, and you'll see what I mean. O.K? Anyway...that song's name was changed and tune  known as 'Freedom', [thanks Casey Oliver] after that....Cool.
To me 'Freedom' and 'Peace' mean the very same thing...and, I bet, everyone has their very own defination of 'Freedom'. Sooo, that song will mean something different and special to each one of us, let's us be ourselves without fear....isn't that wonderful...we're each right. 'Peace', Jan

This is what the video page says: " Published on Apr 23, 2013
Woodstock 1969, Richie Havens was the festivals first performer, he held the crowd for nearly three hours (in part because he was told to perform a lengthy set because many artists were delayed in reaching the festival location), and he was called back for several encores. Having run out of tunes, he improvised a song based on the old spiritual "Motherless Child" that became "Freedom".

Whoops...Yesterday Was Valentine's Day.. Where Were We Anyway?

by mrrobertwade (wadey) cc
Just where have we been...Yesterday, was Valentines Day. Wasn't it? Well, did we miss anything? Nope...BARTLETT and I had a very special day together. Doing what we love...living our lives.
First, Steve put on half of the guitar strings on his 'new' old used guitar that I found for him at a pawn shop called TOPKICK in Spanaway, WA. awhile back. He had to play a tune after each new string,...just to see if those strings were gonna be O.K., mind you....Of course, me clapping, whooping it up and loving every moment of every note may have encouraged him alittle. SMILE. Steve loves playing guitar as well as bass. Oh yeah...before I forget,.. Topkick has lotsa musical instruments. Check them out.
Then, we drove up to RAINTREE NURSERY...in MORTON, WA. Both of us love trees, plants, and gardening...that kinda stuff . A few years ago, we'd go all the time,.. up to Raintree, that is. Well, it was the perfect time to go again. I'm going farther and farther...getting stronger and stronger physically all the time....AND, to our joy and amazement...there they were...that BIG box of seconds, you know those fruit trees that aren't quite perfect, like most of us, just sitting there waiting for us to take them home...Yes, we love the seconds...most of them love coming home with us and turn out just fine...well, Astounding in fact. Giving us more fruit than we, our chickens, rabbits and sheep can eat....and we know where they've been [loved by us], you know safe AND delicious.
So, try Raintree Nursery in Morton soon if you're itching to get your fingers in some dirt and out in that garden of yours...it will bring a BIG smile to your face   YEP,..right the middle of winter 2014. Those Raintree people ship all over the country too...and, we recomend them....they have a great selection of cool stuff at a good price, ship when they say, are friendly...this is NOT an advertizement...just someone doing a great job.
When we got home yesterday...BARTLETT BBQ'ed some pork ribs....yummmm with baked potatoes....He had to learn, and IS such a fine cook and husband, I'm really blessed, I thought as we ate our meal...yes, yesterday was Valentines's Day...and we were in love. Hoping your Valentine's Day was very special too. Jan and Steve

Always Cuter Than A Bug's Ear.. SHIRLEY TEMPLE Dies At Age 85

see photo credit link
SHIRLEY TEMPLE and HERE was always smiling AND cute. So, I always sang along with her, pretending I could dance like her too....But, what I really liked was that Shirley aways saved the day and seemed smarter than all the 'grown ups' in EVERY movie...no matter what, she had all the answers and was the wisest of them all...and, the grown ups all just loved her. She made over 40 movies before she was 12 years old.
As a kid, she gave me hope that one day I'd be the hero and accepted by all the grown ups. But, was it real or pretend? Does it matter? Yes, and in her 'for-real' ilfe she became a real hero, just like her eariler movies. Imagine that! She gave alot of folks hope when she appeared during and after the depression. Later in her life, she was appointed U.S. delegate to the UNITED NATIONS and HERE and the ambassador to GHANA and CZEHOSLOVAKIA. Always giving the world hope, that's what I'll remember about her. 
I read this morning on CNN that Shirley Temple died yesterday of 'natural causes'....old age, I guess that's what that means. Thank you for being such a giver, Shirley Temple.  Love, Jan

Finding Peace of Mind Takes Courage...Thanks, JOHN LENNON

By Shemar Moore, see link
I Found this on FACEBOOK at SHEMAR MOORE this morning, and it reminded me once again, of what a great, inspiritual leader JOHN LENNON and HERE was.
He lived his truth. That takes courage,  doen't it? Well, 'so-called' friends may be upset and leave us, profits maybe lost....'Oh, well'...but, a genuine peaceful mind and love of self found. Cool. It's then, that I realized...'that's ALL I ever really have, whereever I am or go,  is well,.... I find ONLY myself...to be at peace with MYself...is a very BIG DEAL! WOW.  
 Lennon 'imagined' a better life. Being truthful and honest, in other words...being real to himself, and by living HIS own life honestly, not mine or yours, but uniquelly his. So, if we allow him his life...He gives us courage to do the same for ourselves. Thanks, John.
I found a beautiful video of John Lennon and his second wife, YOKO ONO doing 'Imagination' [thanks Aviv Ben Israel], with over 52 million views of this video, amazing...so, click Aviv Ben Israel and subscribe too, what a fine piece of artwork. And, let's all imagine together each in our own way...O.K?  In my opinion, that's a way...'ah'...MY way to get to and live that dream for REAL. Thanks John. Jan

'It's A New Day...AND, I'm Feeling Good'...JAZZ Tune For Today NINA SIMONE

BY Compose4u CC
'It's a new day, and'.... this says it all, doesn't it? 'I'm feeling Good'...What a fine day and tune...I enjoy  and admire Nina Simone, always have.
I'm learning to love my life...just because, well, I can...no matter what. AND, life is getting better and better right before and behind my very eyes...Yeah.
Steve brought this song home form last night's JAZZ fun in Olympia.
I've written about Nina Simone before...her life was HARD,..she had bipolar mental illness, and she and her family or someone? decided not to tell anyone, because of the stigma that would cause...well, perhaps it may effect 'record sales'? and they only let the 'cat outta the bag', after her death...but wait, what struck me so hard was when watching Simone's videos and she was talking to others about her life...she was soooo sad, and had no one in her life that would really see. Others...even seemed bothered or 'disinterested' in her suffering or feelings at all. For more...go HERE for MY story on Nina Simone. 
Thank goodness...people are learning that money not everything and are so much more 'open minded' about everyone being valuable, just the way they are, even a bit different. Maybe, that's the way it's suppose to be...everyone different than anyone else, that is. Jan

Playing JAZZ Tonight In Olympia...Getting Caught Up At Home

'LaLa', 'Layla's relative, by J.Rose-Bartlett cc
Tonight, Tuesday, February 4th, Steve's gonna play some jazz with friends in Olympia...WOW. Cool JAZZ. But, he didn't have time to work up any tunes like usual...he's gotta cold.
We had a miracle at our house.... yes, 5  brand new born baby chicks were born a couple days ago here...in the middle of winter, outside in a pile of brush, in this cold weather, it snowed this morning. They're running around after their Mom, pecking at ??...looks like bare ground to me...of course, I'm not a hungry baby chick.
Our dancing Sheep, named 'Layla', who has been down for a week or so, is up and walking and smiling. Vet Jennifer said she'd be fine...alittle thin, maybe pregnant?, give her more more alphalfa [spell?] and other good stuff. Thanks Jennifer...I know...don't call her'Lay'la...if we don't want her to 'lay' around...the last thing was MY idea. SMILE, Jan

Yes, JAZZ Is Divine

by Beth Sanderson 
What a wonderful photo of my bassman by BETH SANDERSON. Check her FACEBOOK page out at link.
Steve first met and played with Beth and her husband DAVE SANDERSON or HERE when playing in AL EARICK's 'ROAD DAWGS' in about 2005. [before I had created this site anyway. Jan]. I remember an amazing gig at THE SOUTH PACIFIC RESTAURANT in Tumwater, which is now closed, sorry to say...'cause it was always a fun place to be.
WOW...I found this on my FACEBOOK page today. BARTLETT ON BASS shared a great jam with Beth and her hubby at UNCLE SAMS BAR AND GRILL in Spanaway last November. Go HERE for MY story. Thank you Beth Jan.

O.K....Here's the band members of 'Road Dawgs'...now, remember that was way back in 2005 or so. Of course, AL EARICK/guitar/vocals, BARTLETT ON BASS, SHERYL CLARK/Sax, there were three drummers over the years, at first was DON BENSON/drums, then there was a great drummer named JAKE??, for a short while, and last but not least was KEVIN CHRISTENSEN/drums, JON BARONI/keys was in this band for a short while, and there was a guitar/harp/vocalist named 'SKY'...he had been a radio DJ before he joined the band...sorry, Sky, I don't remember your last name...anyone, please contact me if you know 'Sky's last name....or 'Jake's, for that matter. Thanks you guys, Jan
