Still, there is no arguing the musicianship of his recordings, is there? Remember "Drops Of Jupiter"? Great song. He makes the best of the instrument God gave him, I think. For what it's worth, I liked both the songs - they are SOLID compositions, musically and expressively, and I can hear traces of his extensive training in the first one, which I liked enough to listen to twice, despite the voice. It's a good song.<BR/><BR/>Glasvegas ... "wince" ... I'm a patient and tolerant person, Vinny, but I didn't make it through either of these songs. Not even for you. In a word: YUCK!cocohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02827325960865599740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24194846.post-85697694821999086922009-01-27T07:20:00.000-06:002009-01-27T07:20:00.000-06:00Well...the first group had a great sound but his whiny voice got on my nerves within the first couple minutes.

They were both <I>okay</I> but I don't see myself buying their CDs. Maybe a song here or there from iTunes if I really liked it, but that's it. <BR/><BR/>I have the Springsteen box set. Great stuff. <BR/><BR/>And of course Frank is Da Man!Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17134850383532818765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24194846.post-91790550663996878972009-01-26T10:21:00.000-06:002009-01-26T10:21:00.000-06:00Wow, thanks for the cd. I always love getting new music and I appreciate it.<BR/><BR/>I love the Bruce Live set. I remember when it first came out, the splash it made. It was featured on the network news. I think it was the best selling box set at the time and the first time he had did a live recording.<BR/><BR/>Not a big fan of Train or its lead singer. Isn't it surprising how so many of today's singers sound alike. I know there's always been singers that copy others style or sounds, but it seems that it used to be popular to be different. Nowdays they all want to sound alike, that's why I dislike so many of the newer groups.<BR/><BR/>If I had to pick one of the two I'd go with Glasvegas, but I'm not that keen on them either. They weren't bad, just didn't really move me.JohnH985http://www.blogger.com/profile/11714537622409205603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24194846.post-83804232918669378182009-01-26T10:12:00.000-06:002009-01-26T10:12:00.000-06:00KIMMIE: Yes, you won..now send me your snail mail and the CD will be coming to you.<BR/>Thanks for playing this week.<BR/><BR/>TRAVIS: I was really shocked I had forgotten about it...<BR/><BR/>DIANNE: I digitized most of the Frank yesterday...Bruce is next.

One night I dreamed that Jeffrey snuck in late singing 'Summer Wind' and asked me if I had any condoms. I said they were in the top left drawer.<BR/>Next morning I tell my son about this odd dream. He looks me dead on and says - "Ma! It wasn't a dream!" <BR/><BR/>Safety first I always say.<BR/><BR/>I saw Glasvegas on Letterman or Ferguson - didn't like them much - have a very tinny annoying soundDiannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02946500110072411468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24194846.post-4569687665517336842009-01-26T09:53:00.000-06:002009-01-26T09:53:00.000-06:00Forgotten gems...I've done that with books over the years, especially when they were all packed away for so long after I moved up here.

I won? Thank You So Very Much! I so loved "Sweet Carolina"!!! I am so happy! I am sure I will love the entire CD. <BR/><BR/>I enjoyed Pat Monahan immensely. I loved the presence of both music and voice in his songs. I thought both were excellent! Some musicians just grab you, he did this for me.<BR/><BR/><I>"Her eyes, thats where I go, when I go home"</I><BR/><BR/>I totally loved those words in "Her Eyes".<BR/><BR/>As far as Glasvegas, I truly liked them. They definitely have a throwback sound. I think in the right setting their music could be alot of fun. It makes you move, probably nightclub or party type affairs.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for another great "New Music Monday". :-)<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>KimmieKimmiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08325629129760976855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24194846.post-16801053965656273692009-01-26T09:01:00.000-06:002009-01-26T09:01:00.000-06:00MATT-MAN: Other than you, yup he is THE man<BR/><BR/>DANA: Thanks for playing...sometimes we find winners, sometimes not<BR/><BR/>DRILLERAA: I got the same vibe from Monahan and Glasvegas did nothing for me..thanks for playing<BR/><BR/>BUD: Well, we eduKated you at least!

His "Her Eyes" was a pretty big 2008 hit. But until today I had no idea who sang it. Glasvegas seems out of time. That first tune: put female singers in and it might like a Phil Spector group from the 60s...Bud Weiser, WTIThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02333989186132063905noreply@blogger.com
