Title: 1950 Something Post by: MarioD on November 14, 2012, 07:04:36 PM This is just a fun jam that tries to recreate the 50’s sound.
I’m playing the bass, rhythm and lead guitar parts while the drums and piano are straight from Band-in-a-Box. I hope you like it for what it is. Title: Re: 1950 Something Post by: Oren on November 14, 2012, 10:14:59 PM Chuck Berry getting it on with Jerry Lee Lewis. Sounds like the real deal! :;

Title: Re: 1950 Something Post by: MarioD on November 15, 2012, 02:44:05 PM Thanx guys for listening and the kind reviews. This was a fun one and it brought back a lot of memories. I played a lot of this genre back in the days when I was a greaser. Yep leather jacket, sideburns and a Brylcreem loaded DA with a curl down the front. If you don’t know what I mean just look at Danny from the movie Grease: http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0006427 In fact that movie could have been based on the wife and I, as she was a cheerleader goodie goodie two shoes and I was the guitar playing Danny type!

Title: Re: 1950 Something Post by: MarioD on November 17, 2012, 11:49:14 PM I’m glad you liked this Thom. However finding old pictures turned out to be a chore. I did find some from the 1962-1963 era. Please don’t laugh ;)
Title: Re: 1950 Something Post by: elwoodblues1969 on November 18, 2012, 12:20:25 AM It appears as though Buddy Holly was one of your major influences-thanks for the pics! 8)
Title: Re: 1950 Something Post by: folderol on November 18, 2012, 10:02:46 PM Heh! We thought we were something else then, didn't we? I actually regret that I don't have any at all of me in those days.
Title: Re: 1950 Something Post by: Oren on November 20, 2012, 11:39:43 PM Wow! :o ... ;D Title: Re: 1950 Something Post by: MarioD on November 21, 2012, 02:22:14 AM Thanx all for the kind comments on the song and the no comments on the pics
