OT: Okay, Too Long W/O Music

[triaddukefan]

You have led too sheltered a life my friend. Stay dry and go easy on the Spam.

Was just about to fix me a Spam Sandwich

The greatest cover of Camille Saint-Saens' (1877) French opera Samson et Delila, the greatest R & B/Pop singer of all time. The live performance comes after the album performance. And get that high note at the end.

Been obsessing about this lately:

Get to see and record these glorious barstards this weekend:

Fascinating that Spam is such a hit in Hawaii and Australia.

The Aussie Spam Man Ad campaign. Such a hoot.

First Spam ad in years as meat brand aims to sex up the sizzle - AdNews

Long, long ago I was up for fried Spam and egg sandwiches with mustard. Now I look at such and get acid reflux. Piece of cheese was nice too.

What is the thread topic? I'm so confused. It's either Roy Orbison, or Spam, or....any other random song you feel like posting?

There is a Hawaiian BBQ restaurant here that I frequent....... and yes... Spam is on the menu. I was there once in a less busy time, and here comes the owner's mother (?) hauling in cases and cases of Spam.

De gustibus non est disputandum.

No idea what that means..... but it doesnt sound nice

Long, long ago I was up for fried Spam and egg sandwiches with mustard. Now I look at such and get acid reflux. Piece of cheese was nice too.

I got the Spam, I got the stove top, I got the Eggs, and I got the mustard, and I got two slices of bread left. If this doesnt turn out tasty... a pox on the whole state of Montana

 

[triaddukefan]

Since obviously I dont know too many Roy Orbison songs... here is a song by Roy Acuff.... I remember seeing him on the TV show Hee Haw back when I was a kid

 

[wire chief]

Figures a senior citizen would say something like that.

Anyway.... different demographics have differing musical tastes. I assume if you are a elderly white person.. Orbison might be a singer that they enjoy, might be a singer regarded as a great. Im not in that demographic. didnt grow up listening to him, his records weren't in the record case that we had at home.....he died when i was in high school.

I'm trying to be nice @RockyMTblue2 but some of these AARP cardholders are testing my patience

THERE ARE ALL MANNER OF GROUPS YOU CAN DISLIKE, BUT WHEN YOU PICK ON THE ELDERLY, YOU DISPARAGE THE ONE GROUP YOU INEVITABLY WILL ONE DAY JOIN. REFORM NOW!

 

[RockyMTblue2]

INEVITABLY? If you're lucky. 'Course, only the good die young.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Gosh he looks like Burt Reynolds there!

 

[Beemer]

Roy Orbison- "Dream Baby". What a great song. I've always loved how the instruments came in quietly one at a time and by the end it was full out rock n roll.

IDK, maybe covers? maybe choruses? Maybe just a free for all.

Muse - Sign O' The Times (Prince)

It's like trying to herd ducks isn't it.

I interpret the OP as being about one person becoming a chorus. The absolute queen of multi-part multi-tracking was Laura Nyro. I think her best vocals and best piano playing were in Eli's Coming:

 

[Bigboote]

So, not one person becoming a chorus, but four becoming a chorus of a thousand. The ethereal background here was created by each member of 10cc recording an individual note 16 times, downmixing, and doing this 16 times. So each was recorded 256 times. The effect is breathtaking, turning into one of the most achingly beautiful hit singles:

Thanks, I think I can work with that. Pretty sure this is one vocalist singing at least 3 different parts on this song. Gotta stick around til the end for it to really get good.

This isn't Roy, but it's 1994- note no iPones, half naked dancers, just someone singing a beautiful song:

Hope Sandoval.
