favorite Chuck Berry songs: maybeline; his cover of Charles brown's "drifting blues".

...maybe
  3:14am
markr:

I think "Maybelline" was his first single, or the first single he ever wrote--something like that. Actually haven't heard his version of "Drifting Blues"--I like when he does a slow blues, he's got a nice touch.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:16am
coelacanth∅:

he did drifting blues justice, in my opinion - i might even like his version better than the original

(mta) Tony's favorite CB song is "Anthony Boy" from his "Berry Is On Top" album. Hope you can play it for us. It was a huge hit back in the day circa 195-something. If you're not familiar with it, it's a real winner.

Of course, Tony would love it!

Yes, you're correct; I was in the 1st grade and trying to make it with my first girlfriend. The family would turn it up loud when it came on the radio and we'd all danced around.

ha CDT that's a hero story! i never got the nerve up to tell a girl i liked her until maybe 9th grade! (though i went out with 2 people before that, only because one had followed me home and the other had a mutual friend tell me she liked me)
  3:49am
markr:

There was a really foxy girl named Sue Becker in 8th grade. I heard she liked me, then I got cocky, then I heard, "She used to sort of like you, now she thinks you're kind of a jerk." Story of my life.

James Cotton came to my pizzeria ("Tony's New York Pizza") between sets at the nightclub he was performing at and signed my vinyl James Cotton album. It was pretty exciting. That was back in the late '80's at The Grandstand Play, Christiansted, St. Croix. Great days to remember and cherish, forever. Thanks for bringing it all back home, markr.

Duane Train did a great Walter Becker tribute show. Worth checking out in the archive.
  5:29am

I got some serious shit from a listener the last time I played a Steely Dan track "unironically."
  5:31am
exile-on-hicks-street:

@pacific standard I once knew an African-American girl who LOVED Steely Dan. She was super matter-of-fact about it. Check out the Duane Train tribute - he talks about the affinity between the black comm and Steely Dan. I need things explained to me.

Shoulda played the Zappa version!
  5:45am
markr:

The later Steely Dan albums were all session musicians, except for Becker and Fagen, and many of those musicians were black. There was a very funky feel to a lot of those records that you could see might appeal to the same audience that might dig, say, Funkadelic. The thing I loved about them (and I didn't get this until later), was they used their very slick production values to get airplay and slip all these VERY subversive lyrics past the censors and into our impressionable young minds. Why, every time a DJ said "Steely Dan" he was unwittingly talking about a dildo in a William Burroughs story.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:46am

I know he didn't die LAST year, but lately I've been listening to an awful lot of Warren Zevon. There's so much stuff in there.

A rich, deep treasure trove of irony, cynicism, romance and idealism. Plus a picture of a pistol in a bowl of bee stew.
  5:51am
markr:

that's beef stew, not bee stew.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:51am
pacific standard simon:

Oddly, the person caused me to dig past the hits in the Dan catalogue IS a woman -- Ruth Underwood, percussionist for the Zappa band, who was quite taken with the work of Victor Feldman on those early albums.

Bee stew sounds interesting.

I have to comment about women and Steely Dan. My late wife loved Steely Dan. Like another one in this thread, she was African-American. I don’t =think= that had anything to do with it....

I love Ruth Underwood. I'd love to watch an hour-long interview with her. To be a woman in that environment must have been VERY interesting.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:55am
Sem:

Memory whiplash from this playlist, and in a very good way. Courageous segues, Mark, and beautiful choices.

Saw an interview w/ Ms. Underwood a while back, her talking about the parts Zappa wrote for her. She picked up the mallets and played a few measures, and there mist have been a hundred notes in there, in, of course, more than several time signatures.
