Members Terry Allan Hall Posted September 30, 2005 Members Share Posted September 30, 2005 I almost never follow my set-list exactly, due to folks making requests, you understand. Carpenter/Reason To Believe D (D)Ramblin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JacieFB Posted September 30, 2005 Members Share Posted September 30, 2005 I'm impressed. No "Brown Eyed Girl". I don't think I've ever seen an accoustic solo set that didn't include "Brown Eyed Girl". Rock on, TAH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay...so, I'm not a "parrot-head" as are most of my fellow Cincinnatians, but I tend to like his version of the song better than the original. Call me a drunken idiot (and slip me another shot of 1800), whatever. I'm sure I'd like your version best, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I don't think I've ever heard JB's version (hope this doesn't disqualify me as a Parrot Head )...Some of his songs I do cover are A Pirate Looks At 40, Cheeseburger In Paradise, Pencil Thin Mustache, Ballad of Spider John (which is actually Willis Alan Ramsey), Trying To Reason With Hurricane Season, Son of A Son of a Sailor, Changes In Latitude, Changes In Attitude...and (only if absolutely required) Margaritaville.

Members Terry Allan Hall Posted October 1, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 1, 2005 Well, the gig went very well...besides the $75 the venue paid me, I made an additional $63 in my tip-jar and sold 11 CDs (@ $10 per), but the best part (Warning: gratuitous ego stroking alert!) was when the owner said to me, "Damn, Terry Allan, you're the only real musician who plays here...you sound like an entire band!" And, JacieFB, when I was asked to play some Van Morrison, they specifically asked me if I knew anything besides "Brown-Eyed Girl", so I did a medley of "Tupelo Honey/Wild Night/My Love Is Like A Red, Red Rose", instead.

Members Tedster Posted October 1, 2005 Members Share Posted October 1, 2005 The tune that caught my eye was Michael Martin Murphey's "What Am I Doin' Hangin' Round?" I love that song, dug it back when the Monkees covered it. Wasn't til years later I found out that Murphey wrote it. I don't do that song, but on my setlist is another Murphey song (although he didn't write it), "Pilgrims on the Way". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Murphey was with a surprisingly obscure band called "Lewis And Clark Expedition" (at the time, he worked under the name "Travis Lewis") along about then...They put out (AFAIK) only one album ("I Feel Good, I Feel Bad" before disbanding)...He also played in a band called "Trinity River Boys" with Michael Nesmith, so that may be when Nesmith learned "WAIDHR"..He shoertly afterwards got a songwriting deal w/ Colgems (who also did the Monkees), and that didn't hurt, either! I just recently found a recording of Murphey's version of the tune...it's decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tedster Posted October 2, 2005 Members Share Posted October 2, 2005 It's on the same album as "Pilgrims on the Way". Really dig that tune. The whole album...er, CD, is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
