Members Danocoustic Posted May 7, 2004 Members Share Posted May 7, 2004 Originally posted by MartinD45-GS Hmm... doesn't leo kottke have a song entitled "embryonic journey" Kottke covered it---Jorma Kaukonen wrote it, way back in the Jefferson Airplane days. It's a deceptively simple dropped-D, Travis-picked number, really sounds impressive! Jorma's one of my favorite guitarists, turned me on to Piedmont blues. I had the priviledge of seeing Hot Tuna at a small theater when Jorma's little brother Peter, a fine guitarist in his own right, opened the show. "Friends"---bleagh!

Members guitarcapo Posted May 7, 2004 Members Share Posted May 7, 2004 Friends as a show really sucked. The only reason it ever got as popular as it did was because it followed Seinfeld for all those years. When Seinfeld went off the air people just were in the habit of watching it. Seinfield even lampooned the phenomenon when they did the episode where the horrible comic Banta keeps getting great laughs because he follows Jerry all the time on stage.The whole sexual tension drawn out over years idea got played to death on Cheers and since then hasn't got any fresher.I don't know why Seinfeld had to end. Larry David seems to still have lots of great ideas for "Curb your Enthusiasm" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orsino Posted May 7, 2004 Members Share Posted May 7, 2004 A perfect choice from a title standpoint as well as the feel of the tune. I loved it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members desaljs Posted May 7, 2004 Members Share Posted May 7, 2004 I was wondering if someone here would comment on the music chosen to end "Friends". It was a great choice. How difficult is that song to play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, i don't know what all of the fuss was about. "Seinfeld" and "Cheers" were much better IMO:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
