Musician's Joke Book

Musician's Joke Book

A side-splitting selection of one-liners, comic definitions, yarns and witty quotes from the world of music.Most professions have their own jokes, but musicians seem to have more than their fair share. Perhaps it's the insane travel schedule, the bad lodgings or just lack of sleep. But as Jim Green says in his introduction, "...it's not surprising we're a band apart (so to speak), outcasts who seek only our own company, rubbing two jokes together for warmth and trying to feel superior by sneering at one another's abilities and personalities." So maybe the reason musicians love poking fun at one another is nothing more than getting in first before everyone else does. Or perhaps choosing laughter is the only alternative to despair... Anyway, here is a truly great selection of jokes, quotes and stories from the world's second oldest profession. Enjoy!Q: What is the definition of perfect pitch in a piccolo?A: When you throw it in the toilet and it doesn't hit the rim.Q: What do you throw a drowning lead guitarist?A: His amp.Q: Why was the clarinetist staring at the orange juice bottle?A: Because the label said "concentrate.""I don?t know anything about music. In my line you don't have to."Elvis Presley

Pink Floyd Mind Over Matter 5th Ed

Pink Floyd Mind Over Matter 5th Ed

Written by Storm Thorgerson , the designer for the majority of Pink Floyd 's albums, this luxurious book features fascinating information and brilliantly vivid photographs that tell the instantly-recognisable story of one of the greatest bands ever. An essential book for any Floyd fan. This is the 5th edition of a book that includes some of the most famous artworks ever, by one of the most loved artists ever, about possibly the greatest rock band ever. That sounds like an exaggeration, but the wealth of stunning images contained within, album covers, posters, band photographs, adverts, flyers, T-shirts, and so on, will easily convince you that all three of those statements are true.  The late Storm Thorgerson first met David Gilmour at school when they were both teenagers, he then went on to found the graphic design company Hipgnosis, before founding Stormstudios later on. His list of works is almost endless, but it's those iconic Pink Floyd images that are the focus of Mind Over Matter . The Dark Side of the Moon album cover was designed by this man, the Wish You Were Here album cover was designed by him, nearly all of the other iconic album covers and art was designed by Thorgerson,  whose tragic death in 2013 left the art world reeling. Mind Over Matter  is about the instantly-familiar and hugely well-loved art of the psychedelic progressive-rock band Pink Floyd , whose album covers were almost as well-known as their music. Featuring full-colour and high-quality imagery interspersed with Storm Thorgerson's  words telling the story of how he came to produce such artworks that have now attained near-mythical status, this book is an absolute must for fans of Pink Floyd , album art, or even art in general.  Thorgerson 's style was to use photography - the medium of the real - and juxtapose everyday objects in extraordinary situations, thereby exposing and enhancing their stark beauty. Beauty is what this book is about, and it's pure joy to pore over, enhanced no doubt by listening to the legendary music while you do it!

Sid Luft: Judy & I

Sid Luft: Judy & I

Sid ‘One-Punch’ Luft, amateur-boxer, producer and Garland’s third husband, helped her achieve a meteoric comeback in the 1960s. It was Luft who reversed the fortunes of an apparently faded career, seeing her triumph at Carnegie Hall, in A Star Is Born and The Judy Garland Show. A straight-talking sharp shooter, Sid fell for Judy hard and fast. Theirs would be the most successful of Garland’s marriages; the longest and most resiliently intimate. Luft’s vividly detailed memoir reveals the private torments of one of the greatest stars ever known, and of the one man who never stopped loving her. ‘In prose so brassy that it bruises the sensibilities, Luft… illuminates the dark side of life in the spotlight and dispels any sentimental illusions about the glories of show business in Hollywood’s classic age.’ The New Yorker "He’s the kind of person you can lean against if you fall down. He’s strong and protects me. I respect him. And most important, I like him as much as I love him." -  Judy Garland

The Guitar Of Bert Jansch Taught By Rolly Brown

The Guitar Of Bert Jansch Taught By Rolly Brown

Bert Jansch was one of the most influential and unique guitarists to emerge from the British folk music scene of the sixties.His influence can be traced in the playing of Neil Young, Jimmy Page, Johnny Marr and countless others. Over the course of nearly fifty years, he produced a prodigious body of work, as a solo guitarist, singer and songwriter, as a member of the seminal"folk-baroque" band Pentangle, as a duo with his equally revered friend John Renbourn and in a variety of other ensemble situations. On The Guitar Of Bert Jansch Taught By Rolly Brown , we explore a representative selection from the folk, traditional and blues segment of his Guitar arrangements, ranging from simple early folk Guitar settings like "Running From Home" to his most iconic, sophisticated and original accompaniments(e.g. Reynardine, Black Waterside). These are carefully arranged little gems, and his virtuosity as a guitarist allowed him to have a very specific and beautifully wrought arrangement while still showing an ability to create a number of subtle variations which occurred in his recordings over the years. Rolly Brown first heard Bert's playing in the mid-60s, and has been a fan ever since. Along with basic arrangements, Rolly discusses variations, introductions and endings where appropriate. Titles include Running From Home, Blues Run The Game, Strollin' Down The Highway, In The Bleak Midwinter and more.

Bobby Keys: Every Night's A Saturday Night

Bobby Keys: Every Night's A Saturday Night

Born in Slaton, Texas, some fifteen miles south-east of Lubbock, Bobby Keys has lived the kind of life that qualifies as a rock ?n? roll folktale. In his early teens, Keys bribed his way into neighbour Buddy Holly?s garage band rehearsals, then took up the saxophone because it was the only instrument left unclaimed in the school band. While still in his teens, he convinced his grandfather to sign his guardianship over to Crickets drummer J.I. Allison so that Keys could go on tour.Keys spent years on the road during the early days of rock ?n? roll with hitmakers like Bobby Vee and the various acts on Dick Clark?s Caravan of Stars Tour. For decades, he was a top touring and session sax man for the likes of Mad Dogs and Englishmen, George Harrison, and John Lennon, and then in 1970, most famously, he began his gig with The Rolling Stones. Every Night?s a Saturday Night finds Keys setting down the many tales of an over-the-top rock ?n? roll life in his own inimitable voice.With a foreword by Keith Richards and exclusive interviews with famous friends and fellow travellers, like Joe Cocker and Jim Keltner, Every Night?s a Saturday Night paints a unique picture of the coming-of-age of rock ?n? roll itself while celebrating how Keys?s raw talent and out-sized personality have elevated him from side-man to a rock icon.

The Smiths: The Early Years - Photographs by Paul Slattery

The Smiths: The Early Years - Photographs by Paul Slattery

A stunning photographic record of The Smiths' formative years.For many The Smiths were the definitive alternative rock band of the '80s. A bracing antidote to Thatcher's Britain for the youth of the day, Manchester-based Morrissey, Marr & Co. even approached something like mainstream success towards the end.But at the start they were scruffy, uncompromising rebels. This was the period in which Paul Slattery took a series of band photos of great intimacy and power.Slattery was particularly close to The Smiths in those early days, and his images - many of them seen for the first time here - were an insider's work: informal, brash, exciting and revealing. Seen together these photos form an exciting visual narrative on the work of an influential band that, for a few turbulent years, cornered the market in lyrical gloom laced with mordant wit.

Texas Blues Guitar - DVD

Texas Blues Guitar - DVD

The Lone State boasts many cultural riches, and its gifts to the blues tradition are among its most exemplary treasures. The range of Texas blues guitar styles, both rural and urban, is captured in this collection of fourteen performances by four legendary Texas bluesmen. Blazing 1991 performances by the great Albert Collins generate a heat which belies his Iceman moniker. Freddie King cooks at full boil in a 1972 set which includes his signature song Going Down. Rare 1960 footage of Lightnin' Hopkins shows how intense the downhome acoustic Texas blues could be. A 1968 performance by Mance Lipscomb traces the blues tradition to its work song taproot with Captain, Captain. Alternately stark and celebratory, the Texas blues of these performances comprise a legacy as expansive as the Lone State's legendary vistas.

Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back In Town

Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back In Town

From a shaky start in Dublin in the late sixties, Thin Lizzy was to become one of the 20th century?s great rock bands. The story of their ascent is wild and riveting, and here for the first time it is told from inside the band by their guitarist Scott Gorham and rock journalist Harry Doherty, who toured with the band and interviewed them extensively from the early days.There are also contributions from road crew, management and friends. In 1969 Phil Lynott and Brian Downey were approached by two former members of Van Morrison's band to form a new group. Thin Lizzy was born, a group notionally led by Lynott that would see a dizzying turnover of personnel as it took rock and the life style that came with it to new levels.Record success eluded them until the early seventies when Decca released their ?Whisky In The Jar?, a track already deemed unrepresentative of the band by Thin Lizzy themselves. It became a huge international hit and the albums Jailbreak and Live And Dangerous carried the band to the top of the charts just as they were about to become bankrupt. The wild life continued unabated with stories of sex, drink and drugs, band member defections, label switches and non-stop touring that took its toll on everybody involved. Phil Lynott died aged 36 but by then Thin Lizzy was already a legend. This is Scott Gorham?s account of how the whole remarkable spectacle played out.
