Musical palate cleanser, call my old time, used to be edition

As far as I’m concerned, this song needs no introduction.

It’s a great song for seven-plus minutes and then launches into a completely different realm for another five.  Simply fabulous.

          I got my VA hearing aids but never really knew if it was gunfire or The Wall of Sound at Dead shows!

          Mark, prior to a hearing test one is required to fill out a questionnaire on loud noises to which one has been exposed. I check every box except Rubella. I grew up hunting, shooting, working with jackhammers, diving and all the fun things involved with my username. As I84 so eloquently alluded to it was probably that damn RocknRoll that caused my hearing issues. That’s the one thing I forsook hearing pro for, though I occasionally shoved some TP in my ears as during the Molly Hatchet show at the I and I in ’84.

          “On the day of the recording the musicians and studio staff all headed into town for some lunch but realising that the reception a successful, well-dressed, black soul singer and a long-haired, bewhiskered hippy would receive in downtown 1968 Alabama, Pickett and Allman stayed back and messed around in the studio. They recorded ‘Hey Jude’ on the first take and it seems Allman’s conviction that the track would work and become a hit in its own right was correct. From there they went on to record a whole album of cover versions including Steppenwolf’s ‘Born to be Wild’. The LP was released on Atlantic and called ‘Hey Jude’.\”

    Barry Beckett on the Hammond B3 with the Leslie speaker gives this song religion.

    I didn’t see any notice of it, but the fiftieth anniversary of the fatal accident on Hillcrest (where I briefly lived) was the day before the Florida game, As in 1971, a Friday.

    I’ve read that after the Hourglass ended and Allman made his way back east (without Gregg) he wound up in Muscle Shoals, hanging around with his guitar, waiting for a chance to play. Finally they felt sorry for him, and when he plugged in and let loose, they said: WHY didn’t you TELL US you could play LIKE THAT???
