Re: For F. Labs (Ein Stück im alten Stil)

Not a big fan of ska, which is what I'd classify this clip as, but that was a boss horn section.

I just noticed that this box set is now deeply discounted and I'd strongly recommend it to anybody interested in Folk Music.

A fantastic collection, both for the quality of the performances and the time and effort put in to go through the original tapes, select tracks, and clean up the sound.

That was not ska of any wave. It was a pleasantly sloppy (no wavish?) version of JBs style funk. I dug it.

I don't think the trombonist is doing the fluttery truck noises; I think it's the singer.

Interesting. Can you expand on why?

Oh, now I can see why, I think. Oh well.

I appreciated the link nonetheless. Who knew that "truck stop butt fuck" could roll off the tongue so mellifluously?

on account of his having played the french horn in an orchestra and so forth. a bad orchestra, but an orchestra nonetheless.

Hey, this is an opportunity to tell the one trombonist joke I know:

Q: How can you tell which kid on the playground will grow up to play the trombone?
A: It's the one who can't find the slide and don't know how to swing.
