christopher3393 Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 "Western Swing music is considered a hybrid subgenre of American Jazz, Delta Blues and Frontier Fiddle music that originated nearly a century ago in Fort Worth, Texas. It was developed between the years of 1929 to 1936 at primarily the Crystal Springs Dance Pavilion on White Settlement Road just west of downtown Fort Worth."

sphinxsix Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 4 hours ago, christopher3393 said: Another surprise! It is indeed. I heard both Sunny Ade and Ebenezer Obey at the age of 16-17 and was sure the slide guitar sounds were coming from an instrument deriving from some traditional African instrument, they weren't although they were supposed to sound like some African fiddles (great examples of Malian bluesy 'fiddles' can be found on Ali Farka Toure's albums eg one with Ry Cooder). In general musicians in Africa happened to be inspired by unexpected sources eg Fela Anikulapo Kuti and his fascination with big band jazz on one hand and James Brown funk on the other one. Probably the best KSA's album: Something really special: Alhaji Tanko - 'I'm a Cow' - available on... MOOO Records! BTW I'm absolutely sure no-one following this thread identifies with a ..goat.. Cows rule! christopher3393 1 Link to comment

christopher3393 Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 1 hour ago, sphinxsix said: It is cause it's about Zappa The thought crossed my mind. I mean the guitar riff and distorted organ sound badass together, but may that's too superficial: "Fortunately – miraculously, even – no one was killed in the blaze. According to Zappa, most injuries were minor cuts and burns, with only a few people going to the hospital. But the casino was completely engulfed in flames, and all of the band's equipment was destroyed, except, oddly enough, a cowbell." A cowbell in Switzerland. Auspicious! Would love to play one of those. sphinxsix 1 Link to comment

Proof for those who don't trust Christopher: Even a cowherd would have to believe that. This calls for a brief musical tribute to the cowbell: "Honky Tonk Women" by The Rolling Stones (nb: honky tonk is very cow) "Good Times Bad Times" (Remaster) · Led Zeppelin (just wish the cowbell was a little more forward in the mix, don't you?) finally, the sleeper of this group and a benchmark for cowbell: I Guess You Made It (Live) · Poco (first 1:20!)
