I am starting to see, althogh in very small drops, the very much
welcomed return of Real instrument based music.....on TV AND on the
RADIO! Some stuff even include ADULTS and vocalist who can actually
sing and I'll be damned, some of the songs sound even happy and are
about having a good time! Could it be that the draught is almost
over?

Any chance for a 42 year old, can play nearly 10 chords on the guitar and
can play keyboards (including a thing called a piano....doesn't need
electricity or a computer) with two hands.

Christ, let's hope not. Grand Funk Railroad were bad enough first time
around.

By the way, the appropriate word is "drought", not "draught".

I heard on the radio last night that Grand Funk Railroad are going to be
playing here sometime soon...

On the other hand, how much "real" is left by the time it's all been run
through auto-tune and edited phrase by phrase?

If you like GFR, see them. They're still good, and Farner can still sing
his ass off.

Wierd, just yesterday I was going thru some softsynth sounds and
noticed 1 or sounded like (or reminded my of) the keys from the
Phoenix album. The last I heard (1-2 yrs ago) they were doing a
concert in fla, but without Mark. Which had most GFR fans in uproar.

I Love "Winter in my Soul" (grt vx) and "Paranoid" from the red album.

I don't think he's with the current group, at least not according to the
web site.

I don't think many kids have much idea as to the expression
that can be had when a real human being is sitting at a drum kit, actually
interacting with other musicians.

Sadly too many self-styled drummers have way too much "expression". In
other words they have no rhythm.

Well, I guess it was about 4 or so years ago when I saw them, but they
were really good for a band that I figured had already retired. Farner was
with them, still wearing that silly band on his arm and bright red shoes. He
could still sing and play like he used to, still running and jumping around
the stage like always. But I admit I haven't kept track of the band, they
were never one of my favorites, just good solid rock n roll worth going to
see if they came through town. They played the Canyon Club at the Bronco
Bowl, which is a nice, fairly small venue (like 1k seats). The only thing I
didn't like is that I went to GFR and then missed Jethro Tull like a week
later because I had already spent my monthly concert budget. I would've seen
JT instead if I had known they were coming before I bought the tickets.

I was gonna say 'shame on you' but I read on and realized it was a cruel
joke the industry played on you.

Tull fan for good, I remain...

Yes, 'tis true. Strange how otherwise talented people can be so lacking in
rhythmic sense. :-p

Real? No. The samplers are getting better. More RAM, and higher speed.
But it is still all MIDI musicians.

Me too. I'd have gone to Tull anyway, but my son (my 3rd child) was born
just a few months before and I was a bit short on cash.
