FT3 You brung some rekkids, right? Because frankly, Hy, a piece just about you ain't gonna crawl, leave alone fly. Nobody knows who you are, pally.
HA Ha ha! That's swell of you, Farq. Ever the gracious host! But yes, I thought the Four Or Five Guys© might be interested in some Larry Coryell.
FT3 I dunno. Does he try to sing?
HA Ha ha! Well, he does a bit of that. I admit it's not his strong point.
FT3 As a vocalist, he stinks. Right down there with Leo Kottke, another guitarist what should of shut his yap.
HA Ha ha! And fuck you! Very much. I don't need this shit. Take the fucking albums. No offence.
FT3 Ha ha!
Included in today's Jazzrock Jamboree© are Larry's first appearance on record, with Chico Hamilton (The Dealer), and a bunch of his swell solo stuff, some of which you have already, because that's the kind of Four Or Five Guy© you are.
Do you own a beard? What type beard guy are you? Do you eschew facial hair in all its forms? Thought about flying a neck beard? Just the kneck. Shave the rest right off. Just a furry old neck-scarf deal. Gee - is it ever swellegant!
ReplyDeleteConfess yer facial fungus right here.
pmac takes an early lead with a helthy 4 points.
ReplyDeleteClean shaven - 0

Tache and beard, styled (no neck beard, no cheeks) - 2
Full face beard, no neck - 3
Full face and neck - 4
Sideburns only - minus 10
I love me some Larry especially live and pre-1973ish. Depending on what you’re posting Farq I’ll be glad to add.
ReplyDeleteMy beard has mutated with age, from over-long pointy black goatee when I was out playin in bands and givin a shit, to the current cant-be-bothered-to-shave-anymore oldman grey allover mess.
Delta Del comes out swinging with a strong four points.
Delete(I'll load up the files later - all early stuff)
Just an observation: If you have a beard, and are wearing a face mask, you look like a 1970s underwear advertisement.

How do you think I paid my way through college?
DeleteDoes that correspondence course in accordian repair really count as "college", pmac?
DeleteHey, I made the honor roll one semester.
Delete0 points for me. Does that mean I can't listen to LC?
ReplyDeleteIt means zero - meaning is not a valued commodity here on th' Isle.
Deleteok, minus ten for me. Never mind... should I be ashamed to be proud ? No, I'm not even proud to be ashamed
ReplyDeleteI just changed minus to plus. You now have the most points, but they still don't mean anything.
DeleteI'm experimenting with very long eyebrows swept up in a pompadour.
ReplyDeleteooh, that 60s Kremlin look!
DeleteClaiming my full four points here for advanced facial bushiness. Regarding guitarists who sing, at least Kottke isself aware; he famously described his stentorian baritone as sounding like "geese farts on a muggy day." Actually, I kinda like Kottke's pipes, his vocal on "Eight Miles High" teeters somewhere between hilarity and high opera.
ReplyDeleteIt is with regret that I inform all and sundry here that I do not sport any facial hair bizniss except on the days that I do not shave. My missus does not like to cuddle when I'm sprouting little tiny hairs all over my face.
ReplyDeleteShort beard, stache, shaved neck and cheeks. If it was thicker on the cheeks I wouldn't shave, but it never fills in. My kids have never seen me clean shaven except in pictures.
ReplyDeleteI too like Kottke's voice on "Eight Miles High" and (even moreso) "Tiny Island".
Apart from Kottke's pipes, you and me the same.
Deletelate to the game, but heavily bearded and won a contest for it once...
ReplyDeleteand 1.5 terrifying eyebrows...
ReplyDeleteNasal hair is the new eyebrows.
DeleteHe-ere's Larry!
ReplyDeleteMega load-down today (Stealth Link activated in this here comment).
Didn't have "Heavy Feel", thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love that album! Hard-as-nails sound.
Delete0 for me.
ReplyDeleteNot that anybody needs even more Larry after Farq’s megapost, but here’s even more Larry, the album that turned me on to him and it’s still my fave. A raw live trio gig Live at The Village Gate 1971…

Muchachas graniolas, compadore!
DeleteMuchos granolas, as in consumed by the hairy hipsters here...?
ReplyDeleteI somehow find this line of ... questioning a bit "beneath" the high standards set on The Isle.
Why not have a less personal kind of query for the Farq Daily dosage of drivel... erm, I mean daily dress-down.. no, that don't fit, either (he said, adjusting himself in his sweatpants...?)
Anyhow, far be it for the Guests to tell the Host how to run the show on dogs and ponies.
Here's an idea (he says, going against what he just said):
How about some of the 4-err-5 put forth what they think is a "good question!"?
I hereby nominate (as it is NOT an election year, and we don't wanna go down that rabid hole again for at least a few years...):
What was the FIRST record you ever owned?
Alternatively ("1b" sub-section of the essay/answers/quiz card):
What was the FIRST record that YOU BOUGHT with your OWN MONEY?
My first record was a 45 of "King Of The Road". First purchase (split the cost with my brother) was that Beach Boys double LP that was advertised on the teevee (Spirit Of America, 1975).
DeleteThat might be about a decade ahead of my first preemptive incursions in to de whirled of rekkids. I'll save my story(s) for what time is it when our Fearless Loss Leader deems appropriate to axs us 4-or-5 about tit.
DeleteTalk about what you want, where and when you want. This isn't an Amish schoolhouse. All conversation is good.
DeleteDuring quarantine I decided to unfurl my goatee after decades of daily suppression. Despite the ridicule I endured from my family, it came in very useful for contemplative beard stroking as we intellectuals are wont to do. Decided to lose it with the new year -- fresh start and all that -- and I'm sure that you've noticed a steep dive in the quality of these comments following that brutal face lashing. On the plus side, at least I don't look like a "1970s underwear advertisement" anymore!
