oh yeah…belushi speed ball… now theres a band!
but…its one i was already following..see what happened is i founded that song…and dropped it on oppo…coz i like annoying them like that… and what i got back was a whole different buddy guy
holy mother of all rabbit holes….how have i never heard of these two before?
you miss out on some shit this side of the pond i tell yous
anyways.. happy saturday everyone!
thanks mate! now ive got another buddy rabbithole to follow
drummer/singers are rare….and this stuff is good
Speaking of which
Buddy Miles was also Jimi Hendrix’ drummer in the Band of Gypsies.
…hmm…not sure if this qualifies…might come back with a buddy or a guy…but…jimi get a pass most places…& I always had kind of a soft spot for that friend of his…might be the line about “some people look like a coin box & you ain’t got no dimes to spare”
…ok…so it’s “I say ‘some people look like a coin box’ he say ‘look like you ain’t got no coins to spare'” & then
“I laid back, and I thought to myself, and I said this
I just picked up my pride from underneath the pay phone
And combed this breath right out of my hair”
…sorta backwards maybe…if youtube is a jukebox you generally look like you have all the coins to spare…but…while I figure out my holly from my guy in procul harem or my guy giving it the elbow…I still like this one?
…wait…I think it might count…if he recorded that with that band of gypsys lot…one of them was a buddy…iirc?
…which I think I do about the gypsy buddy…never really known if the band had anything to do with this one tune, though
…or I’m thinking of the experience & this is all just time I could have spent looking up buddy rich songs?
i mean..its hendrix….sure as fuck sounds like blues….im gonna count it..
sides…ive had a lot of friends what looked liked coin boxes..and they all went away when i ran out of coins to share..
or at least stopped doing so..
oh the freebies ran out…and they were never heard from again
…jimi…was kinda a wise old head, really…hard to argue with that part, right enough
I’m not your guy, friend!
