| Quincy Jones Interview The Beatles used to play up to 7 hours a night in Hamburg. They learned everything by ear and by "seat of the pants." They assimilated the music by the masters of rock and roll, pop and country. Then they took pop music where it had never been ... | |
| Quincy Jones Interview When I was in music school I once went into a practice room where someone had carved into the wooden case of an upright piano: "Legit is dead. Jazz lives!" I didn’t know that kind of snobbery still existed till just now.I doubt most of the musicia... | |

| Quincy Jones Interview Shadorne, if Michael stole it then it certainly was not from the track QJ cited. Give a listen and you'll find little-to-nothing similar. | |

| Quincy Jones Interview The early Beatles were rough around the edges but they were quick studies. Just listen to their third album, A Hard Day's Night--a pop masterpiece if there ever was one. I'll take it over Thriller. | |
| Quincy Jones Interview I read that interview yesterday and considered posting it here. Thanks for doing so.I checked out the tune that he mentioned in the beginning (the great BIllie Jean ripoff). I think I have a good ear and a clear understanding of copyright law bu... | |

| Shopping at Goodwill anyone? I like Goodwill for tee shirts. I have to look through hundreds to find a couple but I save a chunk of change (which I'd rather spend on LP's/CD's) | |

| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health When I think of his work I think mostly of what he did in the 60's, which is hard to touch--so many fine solos of the "wish I could've done that" variety. Derek & the Dominoes has its moments. After that the high points are Unplugged and Fro... | |
| exceptional voices of female singers (non-classical) No love here for Joan, Joni or Dusty? | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers "Clapton did all the lead guitar work on two tracks, "While my Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Yer Blues"I'm fairly certain that "Yer Blues" has two lead guitar parts, neither of which was played by Eric Clapton. If you know otherwise, please cite the ... |
