Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for June 28, 2010

Doesn’t everybody?

Most of the obscure bands I liked never became famous. Maybe that’s why I still like them. How about these:

Ford Theatre Beacon Street Union Ultimate Spinach

All three of those bands were part of the so-call Boss-Town Sound out of Boston. There are a lot of others but their names escape me now. I didn’t hate famous bands, I just figured they had enough fans so I listened to the obscure ones instead.

All I can say is new music sucks… Bring back the 50’s,30’s,70’s,and 80’s…

Something against the 60’s Viper?

Half as good as he thought they were?

I know I’m giving my age away, but I still like Trad Jazz.

Strawberry Alarm Clock Roemans First Edition

The latter two were ditched by there front men, Tommy Roe and Kenny Rogers, after the front men became famous.

Are you sure it isn’t the “Druid-iots”?

I hit the 3 instead of the 6 …

Frank .. I’m a jazz nut too.

Vegas Viper…..I’m glad I’m not the only one here!

ElDo Disc Golf…..I’m sure it’s a great cd, but Trad Jazz is a bit different.

I prefer even earlier than those. In trad jazz circles I’m what they call a “mouldy figg”. I like the late twenties..the thirties.. the forties. Like the Creole Jazz Band, Lu Watters, Turk Murphy. Most of those on the Stomp Off label. But those are way before your time , I know. But I’m glad to hear from any jazz lover. Nice to talk to you.
