So lets suppose that someone made a cheesy movie about Your everday life.

What music would you want playing while you do simply mundane tasks? For instance, I think every time I was depicted walking I'd want this playing...



What would you choose to accompany you doing everyday things?
(for instance eating, cooking, driving, getting dressed, taking a bath, fighting with your spouse, changing a diaper whatever.) It can be any music, (i.e. not limited to film scores)




(ok this was my best idea to wake up the lounge tonight )

2. hmm, that could be the score for someone procastinating

or actually doing something. (BTW, good tune; never heard it before, the guitar solo sounds Billy Gibbons-ish)

3. Well that pretty much sums up my days.



Jimmy's styles are all over the map. One of my favorites. We cover four of his tunes in the band's setlist.

16. Same bass and rhythm as "La Grange" by ZZTop

One of my hometown bands (Houston).

Along with the Houston Symphony and the Houston Grand Opera.



"La Grange" is about the whorehouse, the Chicken Ranch, in La Grange, that Marvin Zindler busted in the summer of 1973. The story was later made into the play and movie "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas".

Miss Edna, the madam, looked NOTHING like Dolly Parton, BTW.

19. True, which in turn was lifted from Hooker's "Boogie Chillen".

Pretty much a Blues tradition. Love ZZ Top BTW, Billy Gibbons is probably the greatest guitar player you never hear mentioned when the "greats" are being discussed (even Jimi Hendrix thought so, quoted once as saying that Billy was 'America's greatest guitar player').

NOBODY looks like Dolly, one of a kind. So was Miss Edna though, quite a remarkable woman.

23. I saw Dusty's brother Rocky Hill play one time in a dive in Galveston.

Rocky's wife got in a fight and got thrown out the front door, whereupon she tripped over the stoop in her heels, fell on her face, and left with blood on the sidewalk and a bloody nose, and a general total loss of dignity.

I'd never seen a bar fight before. I'm sheltered.

11. Glad you liked him. He was originally in a Blues band from DC called The Nighthawks.

Early '70s through mid '80s. Some good stuff there too. His solo efforts started in '92 with "Empty Arms Motel", killer album BTW. I'd suggest Empty Arms Motel, '94s Trouble Man, and '96s Drive To Survive as good albums to check out. There's a pretty decent amount of tunes on YouTube, but a lot of them are bootleg live recordings and the sound quality is poor.

No touring for me these days, just play around the Bay Area. Current lineup is 1 guitar, keyboard, bass, and drums. We all share vocals pretty evenly.

This is one of the Thackery tunes we do (I sing it ) "Lickin' Gravy" from Empty Arms Hotel.

18. It varies from day to day.

It's raining right now, so the theme song should be Back to Sleep by Dirty on purpose. Unfortunately I can't find that on YouTube.

Completely nuts and completely fun!

One of those one-chord songs.
