Knock – Knock: Daves Not Here!
January 24, 2011 | 
Author Hey.. How’s it going? My name’s Dave… Uh.. .hehe.. “Daves not here” hehe.. Yeah yeah…’
It’s a cheech and chong joke that I been hearing for years. “Dave’s not here” hehe…
And your right… I ain’t been here for a bit… I like to take a hiatus from posting on this blog… Just because I own it and I can post as little or as much as I want… You know?
What does that have to do with “Dave’s not here”? Nothing…. Check out more »
The Flintstones Theme Song
I like theme song’s for TV show’s. They are well written and very catchy. One of my fave’s is the song for The Flintstones.
I just like The Flintstone’s. Even the one with the silly alien that came to be their friend. The Great Gazoo was his name… I think. He was always helping them out of trouble. Rather they wanted him to or not.
Anyways I was surfing the TV the other day and it happened to come on and I was checking out the theme song. I was following the the songs words.
Let’s ride with the family down the street.
thoo tha la da da la ca ta ta eet.
What? Uh I didn’t quite get that?
Throo tha la da da la ca ta ta eet.
It’s one of those song’s ya know?
I just can’t seem to make out the words. This has been an issue of mine my ENTIRE LIFE! Knowing a song well… But there is a lyric in it I just can’t make out…I’ll think about it for a minute. Then it goes away and I don’t think about it anymore.
Then I hear the song again! I’m BACK.. What did he say?
Sure I could Google it. But what fun would that be?
(Heck) Couldn’t help myself. Wait, I found the original theme song.
A Poll I got going. Is Fred Flintstone a Hipster? See left

Was Pink Floyd the Pioneers of Space Music?

I have always enjoyed “space sounding music… And I am guessing that Pink Floyd was the first to do it.. Or do it right… The first record…Piper at the gates of dawn is really a spacey sounding record… Campy too…
It was recorded at the same time as The Beatles Sgt Peppers lonely hearts club band. In my “hip opinion” it is a better record.
So the space music? Well listen to it… The opening song Astronomy Domine is just about as spacey as it gets…Then right into Intersteller Overdrive… Come on!?!
I heard Roger Waters say one tome that “nobody invented space music” Well, I dunno… His first guitar player Syd was certainly one of the first right? That guy is kinna a trip… A tortured genius…. But then Syd Barrett was on a whole other level…
Many people I have talked to over the years are into Pink Floyd.. The later stuff… I try to turn them on to the Barrett recordings but many consider it just too freaking “weird” It is that…. WAY out… In SPACE….
Give it a listen sometime…With an open mind….
Oklahoma Underground Music

Well here I go again… Playing with that old website I have had around since 2003. The first domain I ever bought and it’s still up on the web…Geeze it still has not expired??
I have a hard time remembering if I have renewed my domains when I start staying off this crazy box for months at a time..Then I’m right back in the game. Playing with websites and blogs like this one… Trying to earn a little extra money and thinking I actually have something to say to the world. ( I don’t)
Between going from one extreme to the other I think I am finally on the road to better things… Does this mean I am actually going to continue updating these blogs on a regular basis? I doubt it..
But right now I’m on a blogging frenzy…You can only play around on Date Hook Up and Plenty of Fish for so long right? Not to mention Facebook and other networking sites.
So here we go… Another site to promote my crappy lo fi music demo’s that I recorded throughout the years… Pretty soon I will get over this blogging frenzy and maybe write some music. Anyways…The new brainstorm is called Oklahoma Underground music.
My latest ideas for this site is to share the same old songs as before and also to write down my worthless opinions.. Kind of like this site but maybe on a more personal level…
It’s all good therapy… Tell the world what’s really on your mind
Who’s playing the guitar on Beatles records?

Ever wonder which guy in the Beatles is playing the guitar? They were all guitar players right? There seems to be some mixed opinions about this.
It has been known for years that Geogre Harrison brought in Eric Clapton to play the leads on While my Guitar Gently weeps during the White Album sessions. I have often wondered who else is playing on that record. They were really starting to get on each other’s nerves by then.
Well, I was just reading a Beatles magazine that my daughter brought home for me and it has a articla about the recording of the Revlover album. It seems that Harrison was struggling with the solo on “Taxman”. He goofed with it for a few hours and Gearge Martin suggested that Paul give it a try.
So apparently Paul plays the guitar solo on Taxman. A Harrison song.
It says also that Paul plays the solo for the Lennon song Good Morning on the Sgt Pepper album. Geeze….Who knew?
Guess you can learn something everyday. Especially when your kid brings home a magazine.
