Oh how wrong you are. This place talks more about psuedo intellectual jumbo than music at times.

There's a parallel between your introduction to music and mine, Ayn. This would be my own story:

My taste in music, until about seven, was limited to classical music. No other kind was ever heard in our home, except for "Children's Hour" on the radio on Saturday mornings.(Little White Bull, Seventy-Six Trombones, Nelly The Elephant etc.) I still have a strong recollection being invited to listen to Lonnie Donegan performing Don't You Rock Me Daddio. I thought the human race had at last come to its senses and now included adults who wanted instant, accessible fun from their music too.

So, similar, but completely different. Anyway, welcome to MB! We don't have many Australian members here: you'll soon discover that most of the posting action happens while you're asleep!

At my age most of the action does happen when I’m asleep.
As to early white rock & roll to my ears it will always sound a gutless dilution of the blues gone wrong. At least when the Stones came along they repaired some of the damage.

Where do I find intructions on how to post video links? It seems every web forum has a different protocol.

You may be right in describing The Stones efforts as a gutless dilution of the blues but they were one of the first groups outside the US to attempt anything like the blues. At least they didn’t commit the crime of early white rock and roll in attempting to totally remove any apparent influence of blues or black music.

She'd hold her nose and shake hands with them the same as every reactionary capitalist.

Lol I'm not pro-Soviet, I'm pro-killing Nazis and for a few years the Soviets were the undisputed kings of killing Nazis and nobody has before or since touched their kill streak. And so while I denounce Stalin I stan the T-34.
