Talking of guitars, how about this towards the end.
Waylon Jennings
Hi Victor, I have always loved Roy Orbison songs, especially Pretty Woman, I have not heard any of Waylon Jennings songs, but this one was lovely. God bless, and thankyou for sharing these songs.
ReplyDeleteYes, I liked Roy Orbison too. Waylon Jennings is a different genre altogether being a country singer. I used to play both singers' records when on the radio.
DeleteGod bless, Brenda.
Roy Orbison's Black and White Night concert on September 30, 1987, when he was 51, was a remarkable comeback concert with the help of guest musicians whom he had influenced: Jackson Browne, T Bone Burnett, Elvis Costello, k.d. lang, Bonnie Raitt, J.D. Souther, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits and Jennifer Warnes.
ReplyDeleteMarvellous music and great musicians. They don't write them like that any more; or play music like them.
DeleteGod bless you, Tom.
Tom still has Orbison's concert on a VHS somewhere, but I still prefer Waylon. Nice blasts from the past!
ReplyDeleteTrue, Mevely; nostalgia isn't what it used to be. Orbison, Jennings and many others. That's what I call music. Now it is noise and half-dressed women pretending to sing. What is happening to this world? Am I getting old? Is it Friday still? Have the visitors been? Is this a care home or does it look like one? Am I being silly again?
DeleteGod bless, Mevely. Keep smiling my friend.
I did like Roy Orbison's songs, especially Pretty Woman.
ReplyDeleteRoy Orbison was always a favorite of mine, Victor, and I do like Waylon a lot. Great classics! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteVictor, I have just watched Father Ignatius singing on YouTube, it was absolutely beautiful.
