GGQue Padre?
Yes, Yes and Yes. Can you sing the rap songs too?

David Newellyes, i can rap . . . as well as you'd expect a short caucasian to rap.

Scott BrumleyBrilliant! Absolutely brilliant! I hadn't considered the rap/hip hop angle, but with David on the mic we would just need someone with the title "DJ" in front of some contrived, shortened slang nickname to do some scratching and act like they're disinterestedly spinning LPs and we're (as Otter said in Animal House) "in like flint." For the nostalgia set, how about a little Ton Loc or, taking it back real old school, some Sugar Hill Gang? "Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn ...."
Me, I'm just here to help out as only a wannabe three-chord hack can do. But, David, I will even "cut my hair and change my name" if it will help out.

David Newellhow about "walk this way" for cross-over appeal?
and who could pass up rapper's delight? i said a hip hop a hippy to the hip hip hop you don't stop a rockin' to the bang bang boogie say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogidy beat.

Scott Brumley"Brass Monkey."

David Newellhow about "reminiscing" by the little river band (or "lady" for that matter)?
or, chuck mangioni (theme from "cannonball run")?
or boz scaggs?

A.P. MerillatScott, he might have something there: "Lido" - Boz Scaggs, from Urban Cowboy. I believe you could belt that one out pretty well, brother.

GGPlay more greasy gulf coast swamp blues.

Scott BrumleyGreg, you are now officially the lexicographer for our impending repertoire of greasy Gulf Coast swamp blues. I can't say I know enough of it to pass muster. Years back, I heard Steve Vai do a number called "Greasy Kid's Stuff." I don't think I can play it.
Out of concern for public health and safety, greasy Gulf Coast swamp blues isn't music to, uh, consume sherry by, is it?
If I understand correctly, we have suggestions ranging from conventional classic rock to Homer and Jethro to Little River Band. Add in Devo and the circle will be complete.

GGSteve Vai plays too fast to play greasy Gulf Coast swamp blues. I'll send you some.

David Newell"the girl you want" or "through being cool" by devo.
October 17, 2006, 13:29
GGAnd if you're going to play devo, who went to high school with my wife, then YOU GOTTA play the B-52's Rock Lobster and Rock this place.
I don't think we have discussed disco yet. Boogie oogie oogie?

Scott Brumley"Through Being Cool" is excellent. So is "Rock Lobster." And how about Joe "King" Carrasco's "Party Weekend"?
In the disco vein, maybe Sarah can sing Donna Summer's "Bad Girls."
October 18, 2006, 12:52
David Newelli shudder to think who will do the "toot toot, ah, beep beep"?
how about a song by the "New Christy Minstrels"?
October 18, 2006, 16:24
A.P. Merillat"Follow the Drinkin' Gourd" -- New Christy Minstrels, Greg could tear the drums up on that one.

Not unless you can sing harmony, Ken!

Scott BrumleyHow 'bout bongos, Ken? A.P.'s been wanting to get into that kind of thing. Or cowbell (then we could do "Don't Fear the Reaper").
October 23, 2006, 17:08
David Newelli already called dibs on cowbell for don't fear the reaper.
