The What Four is now no longer a real band but it's kind of like the Ghost of Obi-Wan in SW.
It will be there with us always, though not in physical form, whispering in our collective ear.
For real though, as a band, it's not playing right now, although I could always put it back together if neccesary. We recorded a lot more than what's on that site. Thanks for the nice words. It's a lot of soul draining work and for people to say nice things makes your soul fill up again.
If you're really interested I could send you a cd. That was my garage-rock phase. |

Thanks. I've realized in the interim that your posts are just wonderful. Really. They provide a light hearted romp through the mind of someone perhaps cleverer and more sure of himself than a lot of us on here strive to be.
They are a real inspiration. Keep it up, and thanks for the chance o respond. |

Well, glad to help a fellow artist out in the soul-bolstering department. I know that shit's hard to do day in and day out, much less without support. Money's a little tight right now, but how much is it if I can front later? Why's your new stuff so different?

No money needed. I be giving that shit out free. Really I never ever took money because practically no money went in to making it as we sis it all on our own and it was more to get the word out than to make a profit....(LISTEN UP RECORD CO's) so I will send you free stuff.
My new stuff is different because I got really into soul and old r&b and motown and the like and it appealed to me so much I wanted to try and write in that style. It doesn't come as easy as the garage rock stuff and I don't have the skills, experience or ability to ape it successfully but it's fun to try and expand my vocabulary as a writer.
It's really the diff between doing stuff for other people and doing stuff for me personally to feel good. |

| We're wanting to expand our r&b and soul music library, eventually. We both really dig the motown and doo-wop as well. Do you have any suggestions? |

Well yes. I have found that my heart breaks everytime I listen to anything by Otis Redding. Not in a sad way all the time, just because he's so damned good.
I love Nina Simone's stuff.
I love the Psychedelic soul era in a bad way. Try The Temptations Cloud Nine Album, The Chambers Brothers, the Undisputed Truth, Shuggie Otis, and though this is not old, 2 cds that changed me in a good way on how I view music are "Stankonia" by Outkast and Erykah Badu's live album. Also I like Cee-Lo Green.
Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, The Supremes, Ike and Tina Turner, The Ronettes, the movie "Standing In The Shadows of Motown". Early and middle period Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles.
Early Bee Gees (For real, don't laugh that shit was produced by Sir George Martin), The Band, The Last Waltz, Sly and the Family Stone, Prince.
I am in love with the history of popular music and what connects and what influenced everybody.
You really should see "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" and just see where it leads you. |

I'm there on the Otis Redding and Nina Simone - though I haven't been keeping up w/the latter - I got into her from a song on the "Far Away So Close" soundtrack (Wim Wenders). Sly, Prince, well, jus about everybody you listed is great - I don't think I'd actually buy any BeeGees, though there is a weird place in my heart for that kind of music because my mom always listened to a station that played them when she drove our big ol' 1977 Green Chevy Van to work. Never heard of the Last Waltz, though. I like Outkast and Erykah Badu, but don't have any of their stuff. Thanks for the recommendations - you reminded me of a lot of stuff I had mentally misplaced.
--Edited-- for realmeanmotorscutor's reading enjoymnent ;) You're right, that was getting way outa hand. But I can blame the fever. Damn you fever! |

Well let me tell you something about the BeeGees, ok?
I know where you're coming from, although I am not talking about "Staying Alive" ere BGs though in retrospect, it's not bad, in fact it's kinda badass.
But what I'm talking about is the George Martin produced era. The Early years. Check out these songs or buy The Bee Gees Greatest Hits, the one with the yellow cover and these songs
I Just Got to get a Message to You
To Love Somebody
Massachuesettes
Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Tell You
I Started a Joke
1941 Mining Disater
Holiday
etc. etc.
If You don't like those songs, you might have to go see a doctor because your heart is missing.
The Last Waltz is the movie by Martin Scorsese of The Band's last concert together. Wow. Repeat. Wow. They definitely had the right name. |

| A friend of mine is working for KY on an early childhood therapy initiative. She's had a lot of experience with "ADD", etc. I think it's mostly a bunch of hogwash - kids are either in bad family situations, or they are just hyper - I think it's normal. A cousin of mine was thought to have it, then they thought maybe it was autism. Now he's fine, because he has a father figure in the house, and is getting the proper attention. Sorry, I have strong feelings about child medication... |

Its definitely not hogwash. People with ADD are lacking in neurotransmitter chemicals in the brain. |
