Chuck Turner

Thanks for posting this Analogman. I first saw H&M in Montery CA. summer of 75, in a theater on Cannery Row. I was 16. What got me to post was looking up Jean Roussell, Cat Stevens' piano player. For some reason I thought he had passed away, but no, Jean Roussell is alive and well. In 96,97,98 I played in a group with Jucy Lucy vocalist Paul Williams. I almost lost it when I found out Jean Roussell had been in Jucy Lucy on the "Pieces" album 1972. Jean Roussell also played on some classic Bob Marley albums, a nice discography. Evidently he's also on the newest Cat Stevens/ Yusef Islam(s

Some one put a few clips on youtube . . . I just searched Wilco Barack Obama . . .

O.K. first off, by giving this thread a title Boo Hiss to Boo Hissing, I critisise myself for Boo Hissing the Boo Hiss thread. That said. Why is there a thread dissing a present member of Wilco? The band is more successfull than it has ever been. I for one connected to SBS at a deep level. Connecting to SBS allowed to go back and appreciated everything else Wilco has done that much more. I have a friend who builds up his music community. An extreeemly giving person. He is muched loved by his fellow musicians. We in L.A. don't see him as much. Seem's he joined a great band in Chicago . . .

I was thinking the same thing . . . Nels kinda reminded me of Steve Howe every so often, especially playing with Wayne Pete (back in the early to mid 90's) I remember introducing Patrick Moraz to Nels Cline around 93. Moraz was there (at the on going New Music Mondays)to see U Totem . . . Nels Cline Trio was my favourite band back then . . . . NCT closed most evenings . . .

The live tracks are from the Filmore Auditorium in Denver 09/07. One True Vine = a second chance at life [. . . and yes, I remember D. Boon . . . 5 uu's + The Minutemen = The Stone Puppies (live on kxlu . . .)]

O.K. the first one I thought of was the 5 uu's. I can't get the url cept for http://wm05.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll and that ain't it. But enter 5 uu's under artist and it'll come up. My name is listed under the "performed songs by" er somin. Anyway, all those wierd California bands were in the org. called COMA back in the day, including N.C. I lasted about a year in the 5 uu's but grew up with Dave Kerman. Most of the original uu's were at a 30 year high school reunion this Sept. Amazing were still alive . . .

"The whole marriage proposal thing was cool too!" . . . i'm low tech, could someone explain what took place . . . 'marriage proposal thing' ?

I played on a duo recording with Patrick Moraz (from Relayer era Yes) were we covered John Cage . . . I'm not joking here, but mine doesn't count cause I'm a dickhead . . . . . . the 'act' on before (track 1) was Kronos Quartet, they covered Cage to, but it doesn't count cause Cage wrote the piece for them . . . . . . come to think of it they (Kronos) covered Glenn Kotche to, but whoops they comissioned it, doesn't count . . . i sometimes play in a cover band with a guy from jersey, he says, all the songs we play are original, it's just that we didn't write most of em .

So there was a reunion weekend in my hood (around Sept 22nd this year), and Ryan Hedgecock from Lone Justice showed to one of the gatherings. He was a couple years behind in school. Anyway it got me to searching around and I found a Lone Justice c.d. from 99' with with reissued stuff plus unreleased stuff and there was a Maria McKee/Bono duet on "Sweet Jane" from one of those U2, Lone Justice tours . . . I think that L.J. c.d also has a track with some dude named Bob playin harmonica, not singing, just playing harp . . . Bob Dylan er sommin like that, I dunno . . .

One True Vine

So who all is going on Friday ? I had some food last time for Banyan at DiPiazza's, got there early, there were 3 bands b4, gonna have to check the DiPiazza web site to check on how many bands (and who) is playing this Friday. VC party ? or wait for the Nels Cline Singers ? Banyan's pretty fun y'all . . .

San Diego tonite, Long Beach Friday. Time for a bump. I was at the DiPiazza's show at the beginning of the summer . . . very inspiring . . . I'm seriously thinking bout this Friday (but i work on Sat. morn) . . . they sarted at 11:30 last time, oh well I've turned into a pumpkin and made it to work the next b4 . . .

I was last in line For the One True Vine The endless winding thread I was dead at first I had done my worst (Oooo) when you came to me Life had ceased I was lost and tired You set me free from this mighty, mighty fire Just in time to be (Oooo) My One True Vine You used to come to me and [now] you comfort me You're the only one that I believe I trust you I hope that someday you will trust me to I wanna be what you are to me Life had ceased I was lost and tired You set me free from this mighty, mighty fire Just in time to be (Oooo) My One True Vine # # # Tommyjacobs(sp) did the

There's a post on page two of this forum. Sumin like "One True Vine" chords (anybody know um). The guy did a good job with the first verse. There not hard lyrics to understand . . . I took down the 2nd verse pretty easy . . . go ahead, try it transcribing [the lyrics]you'll like it. I ended up putting it in the key of C for the piano, although it sounds like B on the recording. C just lays nicely on the keys . . . friggin beautiful song . . .

Wow, I've never seen so many posts before on VC regarding being clean or sobriety or quoting one of the 12 steps . . . I had heard of a group of clean Gratefull Dead fans who used to meet up at concerts and wondered if this has ever happened or could it happen at Wilco shows . . . the other thing is the Musicians Picnic is on this Sun in So. Cal (Chatsworth) with Wayne Crammer of MC5 (Doug Lunn on bass), English Beat and others . . . anyway, thats been a great event over the last 1/4 century, pretty much one of the largest clean and sober gatherings . . . . . . just dreamin i guess, ya k

I think "One True Vine" can be found on itunes. I have old school tech so I can't even download the itunes software. I searched high and low for "One True Vine" a couple months ago. It was on Virgins U.K. site for sale, and a Canadian site for sale, both of the sites CAN'T be accessed by 'Amuricans' . . . I even tried buying the bonus disc (that came with the indie stores SBS purchase) off some one on E bay, and then got a official e-mail from e-bay saying the guy wasn't 'allowed' to sell it . . . maybe those discs were marked not for resale . . . I don't know . . . . . . so at this point,

(i lived in santa fe for a minute in 85) . . . dang bjorn, those photos from the equinox(sp) made my day . . . what part of the year is 'maple syrup time' back east ? (cue seeger recording)

I had my 77 class reunion on Sat. nite. We got a hold of alot of musos from our year . . . Sorry but "the KISS year" got me . . . I called Juan Croucier (original Ratt bassist) and he showed up . . . Dang, playing Kiss covers beautiful and stoned* . . . Juan had KISS in the Cellar to record at some point in time. I couldn't tell you when . . . when we we're in high school we covered BOC's Bucks Boogie . . . we were into Yes and Tull but Juan would say nobody wants to hear "Thick as a Brick" for a 1/2 hour . . . He was way into Kiss, I think he got some stage moves from Gene Simmons . . . o.

Nels Cline and Dave Grohl are both on the tune "Big Train" from Mike Watt's Ball-Hog or Tugboat ? So thats Wilco to Nirvana in ZERO degrees of seperation . . . wait, whats the rules ? . . . can Kevin Bacon or members of his family play this game ? . . . and when did cow punk really start ? . . .

them are nice . . .

Hello Matt, Welcome to Via Chicago. I'm fairly new here myself. But some one took the time to say hey on my first post, so I'm paying it forward. I'm not from the UK but Turner is an English last name (i think). I have, however played with some good musicians from your neck of the woods. ---- cheers

"Cigarettes, Coffee and Booze", dang, the Minus 5 played this at Spaceland Saturday night. What a fun band . . . glad I went . . .

Silverlake is a long drive for you Donna, from Riverside. I checked the Spaceland website and got tix. I'm sure it's cheaper just payin the cover at the door, but I figured with Peter Buck it might be sold out, but nah. There's a Tai food place next door, at least there was when I saw Nels Cline Singers there a couple years ago. 21, yikes, I'm even past 42 "thank you"s (but still 40 something) ---- chuck t.

Dang, Kidsmoke, you are one of the VCer's I'd would love to meet at a show. I don't actually know anyone on VC, at least by there screen names. I realize I'm a "major nobody" (watt pedro speil) but I would dig being at some sort So. Cal VC summit some day. I don't quite have the VC ettiquitte down yet. I've put my foot in mouth so many times on the boards I figured I'd get a pie in the face if I posted a seat no. b4 the Greek. So any way. You guys are the coolest fans a band could want. I aspire to be a worthy Wilco fan someday. Lurk and learn I guess. Earlier this summer I did get to say

So when the band came out to the 70's TV theme music I blurted out Bob Neuhart(sp) and a young woman in the row in front said "thanks, I was trying to place that . . . " (or something). It must be a Pavlov's Dog thing with how many reruns I watched . . . dang I gotta kick television (b4 i start wrighting bad checks) Do they always use that theme or do they mix it up with regards to entrance music? (or just making fun of L.A.) In 1974 I went to a Stan Kenton clinic at El Camino College in Torrance. Anyway at the concert that night sitting near me were two guys from the Bob Neuhart cast. The
