Gee and everyone thought the mili vanilli fad would never come back... "Blame it on the rain..., yeah, yeah"...

Squeak

i never thought i would sing "proud mary"
in the key of c with just one finger on the
c note and bingo the band starts and i'm
into the song. it sure beats a seperate drum
machine, a second or third or fourth keyboard
and pedals. alot of drummers,and bass players
would probably say the same thing about
me and what i'm doing. i think the entertainment industry as we know it from the past is gone because of technology and
over-saturation of itself. the general
public has become numb,complacent of what
is out there as far as entertainment. they
no longer care.where's the excitemnent and
energy? i'm glad i'm soon retiring from
playing. it's time to move on.

Gary,
Excellent....put it to music would you? Then to your site I think a great tune lyrically.

Graet lyrics......But the visual when I close my eyes is very SCARY!!!!

I'll record an MP3 within the next couple days and post in my site.

Cheers for an old man,

Gary

The people are live
They just don't have lives.

It's a matter of economics - the entertainers cost $$$, while goofus Karaoke cost $.

I remember, back in the early 1970s, bar bands were getting paid a whopping $200 per night. And then in the 1980s, they were getting paid a whopping $200 per night. In the 1990s, only a one man band (or DJ) could make a living on $200 per night. In the 2000s, it's a downloaded mp3 file from a "live" {via webcam} entertainer ;-)

Here's a blues versionof Gary's song...
Which under the circumstances I felt was more apropos !

"Don't Look Good Naked Blues"

Well, I woke up this mornin', stepped out of the shower,
Took a look in the mirror, lost a lotta my power,
'Cus I'm grey haired and pot-bellied, my teeth lost some of their shine,
Now the lines and craters on my face make shaving take too much time,
Saw my reflection in the mirror, and on the bathroom door
I guess I just don't look good naked anymore

So I went on upstairs, turned the mirror to the wall
I'd hung it there way back when I was trim and I was tall
My muscle tone was much better, the weights I used to test
The way mama looked at me, you could see she liked that best
I used to pose, flex and stretch 'til my arms got real sore
I guess I just don't look good naked anymore

[CHORUS:]
I got the Don't Look Good Naked Blues, sittin' here all alone
I used to go out with the girls, I loved them one and all
now they don't get very close to me
because they're afraid I might fall
I got the Don't Look Good Naked Blues, yeah, yeah, yeah [All wrinkly !]


So I went to my doctor, for my annual exam
Standing there in the buff, he suddenly said "Man"!!!
I said what is it doc, you gotta tell me please,
Do I have some exotic terminal disease,
I need to know right now, He said "NO"....
I guess you just don't look good naked anymore

[CHORUS2:]
I got the Don't Look Good Naked Blues, sittin' there all alone
Me and Nancy had a dancin style, some folks thought it was unique
now it's only when were back to back, That we're dancing cheek to cheek
I got the Don't Look Good Naked Blues, yeah, yeah, yeah [Who was Nancy ?]


So I Went down to the nude beach, to have some seaside fun
stetched out in my birthday suit, ah, soaking up the sun
Watchin' the girls walkin' by get's an old geezer to the fore
Then somebody said there's an old white whale, washed up on the shore
They said call the fire the ambulance, the National Fishery Board
We guess he just don't look good naked anymore

[CHORUS3:]
I got the Don't Look Good Naked Blues, sittin' here alone
My arches they have fallen, Metamucil in the mornin'
The grim reaper's callin', fanny's draggin' the floor
I guess I just don't look good naked anymore!, yeah, yeah, yeah [I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead now ?]
