I bought my Venture for touring and the excellence stereo. Tape player aside, it is very good and close to any stock bike stereo in production. I listen to tunes every time I ride.

Don't know if this qualifies as obscure or just unknown, but there's a guy who performs in San Antonio by the name of Ruben V who plays a mean guitar and writes some awesome songs. My favorite is a song called "Close the Door." I'm at work now, but I will try to find a link or post a copy later this weekend. If you like blues/rock (SRV) guitar music, you gotta check this guy out.

In the early 70's a studio musician named Bill Chase put together a band to compete with Blood Sweat & Tears and Chicago. A bit different, he had four trumpets, lead and bass guitar and drums plus organ/piano.

 

If you remember johnny Quest (sp?) and other cartoons from the time, they all had screaming trumpets, the Chase trumpets were on most of those tracks.

 

The entire band was killed in a plane wreck in the 70's. Tragic loss.

 

I got to hear them live in the weirdest triple bill of all time in st. Louis. The Temptations, Chase and BB King. I was a student at SIU in Carbondale and all my friends were trumpet majors in the music program. I played, but only for fun. Five of us went and sat front row center in Kiel Auditorium. considering the other groups, there were about 8000 rather dark faces and five drunk white guys from Illinois. We enjoyed all three groups, but were the only ones to applaud Chase, an all white band. How we got out alive is something, they must have just taken pity on us because we were so drunk! Anyway, I hope I can get the You Tube thing to post here:[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGeshSW3k10&feature=fvw]YouTube- Bill Chase - Open Up Wide[/ame]

I would love to be cruising down a twisty listening to Mason Williams - Classical Gas.

One awesome instrumental...I'll try and find it and post it but I am sure most of you guys know who and what I am talking about by looking at some of the other things posted from the sixties.

 

One more comment id like to make is that back in the 70's a band formed in a very little town of Puryear Tennessee. They were called T.R. Crooks. I am told the T is for tennessee and R is for River. Anyways they recorded there first album in a small trailer there in puryear and very good southern rock music. I cannot find a single recording of theres on a type of media that is descent to listen to, being back in the album days you know how they get scratched easy at "social gatherings".

 

It sux that airplanes have taken out so many good groups/singers etc..

Karl,

 

Mason Williams, I had the extreme pleasure to see him in concert somewhere around 1970. Classical Gas was off the charts but still fresh in most minds. I think the Smothers Brothers gig with him was still going but not sure. Anyway, I loved real music as opposed to just noise, and Mason was real.

 

He was in the round (awful rotating stage period in live concerts!) at SIU arena in Carbondale. For some reason only about 1500 out of 12,000 seats were sold and the arena looked empty. Mason came out with a 15 piece orchestra, looked at the arena. many performers would be pissed and just sluff off the concert, but Mason insisted that they stop the stage pointing to one side, then asked everyone to move right in front of the stage. He then put on a superb concert sitting on the edge of the stage and went an HOUR beyond his scheduled ending time. Best concert I ever was at. A true musician, performer and gentleman.[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z9nl3T31wI]YouTube- Mason Williams - Classical Gas (1988)[/ame]

Garfunkel and Oates "Self Esteem" and "Pregnant Women are Smug" are both really funny. Didn't link them as they are not exactly family friendly. Not real bad though either, Both have been performed on the Tonight Show.
