Which Gordon L. songs do you like to turn up the volume to when listening to them? Most of his songs aren't meant to be played loud, but on some songs, a persons 2nd childhood kind of kicks in. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
I'm not at all in favor of playing music with the radio turned up real loud, but every now and then I like to turn the volume up a bit.(Not so loud I can be heard with the windows up 100 ft away) Heres my list: Endless Wire Dream Street Rose The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald Ghosts Of Cape Horn Waiting For You Too Much To Lose All The Lovely Ladies Someone To Believe In http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif [This message has been edited by DMD3 (edited September 04, 2003).] |

Rosanna
A Lesson In Love Fading Away A Lesson In Love may seem an odd choice, but I like to listen--at high volume--to those "little doubled guitar things" (that would be the technical term, I believe). |

Sorry,but...none of them! I listen to Gord to quiet my thoughts,not blow out my brains (with the volume that is.) Nope,not even Broken Dreams or Endless Wire. Shhh. It's quiet time. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif Night. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif

But for the rest of the time, you are quite able to hear yourself think when listening to Gord at the volume I'm comfortable with. |

Never occurred to me to do with Lightfoot. His isn't the sort of music I would want to hear blaring. Now Melissa Ethridge, certain Tom Petty songs yes. And I keep two "Live" CD's in the car just for occasions when I feel like blaring something loud. Used to use an old Metalica CD but that got misplaced somewhere along the way.

I have to admit, in spite of the fact that I'm a middle aged woman, and the fact that it probably doesn't do a whole lot for my reputation to have music blaring loudly from my car, I still can't resist cranking up the car stereo, all 1500 watts of it, when Sundown is playing. It's great therapy to drive along a deserted country road, windows rolled down, the wind blowing in your hair, the subwoofer thumping to the point where images in the rear view mirror are just a blur. I think, if I'm still driving at age 90 (that is if I'm still alive at age 90, in which case, if I'm not, I'd better not drive), I'll still crank it up when Sundown comes on.

I play Gord LOUD! I like to be totally encompassed by his music! It embarrasses the daylights out of my teens when they are in the car with me http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif because not only is the music loud...the windows are down, too! In fact, our small town just passed a new "loud music" ordinance and my kids are worried that I will be getting pulled over soon and forced to pay a fine! They are probably more worried that they might be IN the car with me when it happens! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

Well about 15 years ago my niece said "Uncle Bill if it's too loud you're too old" and I've never heard Gord too loud so I guess I'm still OK. Rock on Gord!!

"If it's too loud,you're too old?" http://www.corfid.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif What kind of non-sense is that? I've never agreed with that idea. There are some of us who just don't like that sort of thinPersonally,I have never liked my music LOUD. My brothers did and that's most likely why. I got so tired of coming home from school and they'd be blaring KISS or Zepplin or Judas Priest or some other group getting kickbacks from ear-plug sales! I like these group now but I dont blast out my speakers. I wonder how I survive the few rock concerts i did go to with them! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/eek.gif Later! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

Yeah, I'm a mean mom...just ask my kids!!! I make them go to bed at a reasonable time, eat good food, take them to the doctor when they are sick, I don't let them run around town, I don't let them watch non-age appropriate movies, I make them brush their teeth, I had braces put on one of them, I make them do chores AND they have to listen to my music when they are in the car with me! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif Poor kids...so unloved! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif LOL

Oma! I'll never understand why kids hate their parents music. It's not like the parents are forcing them to listen to it. I mean,are teens that afraid to acknowledge that something existed before eminem? (I refuse to capital his name.) http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif I guess I don't understand because my brothers and I liked our parents music (late '40s to 1963). My mother liked KISS and other rock bands of the'70s&'80s. My dad never really liked anything beyond the mid-'70s,to my knowledge. If he really hated anything it was the emergence of hip-hop 13 years ago. I don't mind it too much. As for right now,I like a handful of acts. Norah Jones,The Thorns,Nelly (yes,Nelly!),Destiny's Child & Beyonce and definetly Alicia Keys. I don't want to become to out of it because there are good acts out there,you just have to pay attention. Been me,later! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

My firstborn preferred headphones, and when he DID have music on, he was trying out classic rock stuff (must have heard it in utero <g> ). Our daughter, on the other hand, has been into Eminem (yech on soooo many counts) but also the Brittany/Avril/Beyonce type. Lately, however, she has found country music - which her father HATES but I don't mind. We can really freak him out singing together to "Beer for My Horses" or "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem." Heh heh heh. Actually I grew up listening to Bill Knowlton's Bluegrass Ramble on Sunday nights; it was the real thing, old-timey, with fiddles, high keening voices, and clog dancing (on the radio, no less.) Today's country is so much more "pop" than it used to be. But I'm still a child of the 60s, at least the, uh, rock-n-roll. Love it. |

Closest I can say to having kids is my God-Daughter of my last girlfriend. It breaks my heart to say but she's 9 and says Gordon is,and I quote,BORING! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/frown.gif This from a Britany Spears junkie. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif In fact,she finds anything before the 80s boring. (She was born in '94.) Her loss! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Later! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

Keep on playing "boring" ol' Gord; when she gets a few years beyond 9 she may appreciate it (if for no other reason than nostalgia for her youth - round about 20.)

All my Gord music is loud, because I can't afford hearing aids.

Count me among those who like ALL music loud when I'm by myself. When I'm not by myself, I like to be able to have a conversation without yelling over the music.

I keep thinking of that kid at Caffe Lena's open mic, the one who sat crosslegged on the floor with a puny little toy keyboard, trying to play his first real composition. "Oh, let me start over... oh, that's wrong, I'm starting over..." I sure wouldn't have wanted to listen to that at high volume. That had to have been the worst open mic I've ever attended. At least you got to sneak away to the Brew Pub. I had to sit through the entire thing. Cathy |

I might have been lucky enough to seak away for some of that sorry excuse for an open mic, but I got back in time to hear that kid and enough of the rest to know that the only "music" going on that night occured when you were up there! The only savings grace was the enjoyable opportunity to hang out with you, Jenney, Val and Melissa and drinking a toast to Bru http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif Janice |
My brother was the one who used to do that to me. With his door shut, on the other side of the house I could make out every word to Satisfaction. He was 11 years older than me so I was introduced at an early age to the Stones, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. Those were at the top of his hit parade. And his electric guitar and amp didn't help matters any. It REALLY didn't help when he switched to playing a bass guitar. I was one of the few four year old who knew all the words to Satisfaction.
