What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles?

Love these kind of threads and thanks, Mitch,  as I always enjoy discovering new music.

i am a long time fan of horn bands - especially in the style of 70s funk or jazz rock bands.  Anyone who knows me knows I am a HUGE Tower of Power fan (not sure if they fall into the unknown artist category) . . . but if your like such horn bands try these artists:

1.  Lighthouse (Canadian 13 piece band from the 70s)
2.  Mandrill
3.  Puzzle
4.  Funk Filharmonik
5.  Doctor Funk
6.  Phat Phunction
7.  Prime Time Funk
8.  Five Alarm Funk (Canadian)
9.  Ten Wheel Drive
10. Cold Blood
11. Sage
12. Sante Fe & The Fat City Horns
13. Here Come the Mummies 
14. Mingo Fishtrap
15. Jack Mack and the Heart Attack
16. The Boneshakers
17. Strokeland Superband

Next, as The Monty Python Flying Circus Show used to say: “And now, for something completely different . . . “

If if you like relaxing folk music especially by a talented singer/songwriter with a silky golden voice listen to:

Michael Tomlinson 

I’ve  now probably worn out my welcome — so I leave you with these words of wisdom: “I FART in your general direction!”  (Seriously hope there is at least ONE Monty Python fan out there!)

PS. For female vocals check out:

1,  Judith Owen
2.  Jackie Allen

For male vocals:

1.  David Wilcox 
2.  Marc Cohn
3.  Keller Williams

n80,

THANK YOU!!   I was beginning to feel like the Lone Ranger. If I had posted that 10 to 15 years ago I would’ve had 12 responses with hysterical MP quotes. Today, you’re my only saving grace.  

“Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.  Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries,,”

@n80:  it is simply amazing to me that the moderator would delete that clear reference to a John Cleese/Monty Python quote yet leave both of mine.  

Don’t even get me started on what the social media cupcakes think is offensive these days - the same people who then post the most vile hateful responses/posts to any article.  So much hypocrisy and double standards abound today.

I agree, so much of the classic and innovative comedy of the 60s and 70s is being lost in this uptight world we live in.

Touché  three_easy_payments.  Nice comeback.  One thing though - my statements about not recognizing Monty Python was in two parts.  The first was my own lamenting that as we (I) get older, it’s a bit sad to keep experiencing more and more people who, understandably as time passes, have no clue about things that may have been popular in my generation.  That hits me regularly  at work when I’ll say something while a song is playing like “Oh, that’s the Average White Band” - to which a more and more common reply will be: “Who?”

The second reference was more specific. One would think that my  two Monty Python quotes, if not taken in context, would also have been deleted as offensive.  So that made me wonder if the moderator Googled them or not. N80’s deleted response was a quote by John Cleese from  Monty Python.  So I was addressing what I saw as a possible inconsistency.

Yeah, those repressive Audiogon life  incidents are a  b#@tch aren’t they? 

Enjoy the music!
