RIVER SONG (A Song of Peace) Steve Vest
มุมมอง 2.7K7 ปีที่แล้ว
This song was written in 1969 and I performed it at the Suwanne River Music Festival and Tybee Island, as well as many other venues. Duane and Gregg Allman inspired me to write this song. It was an era of peace and love and it just seemed that Gregg and Duane were born for it. Keyboard players that have backed this song live with me in the late 60s and early 70s included Reece Wynans, Gregg All...

Berry Oakley called me and told me to come up to Byron Georgia to sit in and play harmonica with The ABB at the Atlanta Pop Festival. Thom Doucette was the other harmonica player at this festival and got the credits, but there were two for the ABB. This is a short back stage conversation between Jimi Hendrix and Gregg Allman about Lynyrd Skynyrd. It was July 4, 1970 and Skynyrd was still a band...

    Give me three steps does not smoke cat scratch fever. Give me three steps is one of the most boring Lynyrd Skynyrd songs I've ever heard and I am a big fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd but it is a highly predictable song with a boring bass line. But that's just my opinion.

Did jump off his amps,wore his loincloth and fired his arrows across stage into bales of hay. Oh,and the big hit was Journey to the Center of Your Mind and Ted played the s*it out of that 6 string!

Lead guitar player for “the moving sidewalk” before ZZ.It’s here on Y/T just search Jimi’s favorite guitar player. Billy is asked the question if he knew he was Jimi’s favorite and he says like the gentlemen he is”Yes I’ve heard that. We were very good friends”.

    I love you my brother but Ted Nugent is straight Rock and you would compare Ted Nugent to Johnny Van Zant in a better example. and another thing is is I have ultimate respect for the Van zandt family and as a Yankee I think that the Confederacy needs to back off because you're causing lack of unity based on a principal you will fight to the death over but yet you will bow down when it comes to hemp and let your families go to jail so it's not about who's tough or who's better at this point because just like Ford Chevy Dodge they're all good. again no offense my brother but the best flags are the Gadsden flag and the straight up American flag and I appreciate you the best and wish you and your family and friends all the goodness 🇺🇲🌀💥🍍💜

    Written by the polarizing Nugent in 1977, the song was released on May 13 of that year. It boasts a rambunctious, even party-like electric guitar riff, which is what helped make the recording famous. Nugent comes in sounding like a stadium rock band singer in the style of AC/DC. His voice hypnotizes and the guitar riffs do, too. But beyond the musicality, the song, of course, is about sex-the cat being a thinly veiled concept for a woman and the fever being lust. As Nugent plays shrieking guitar leads, he sings: I make the pussy purr with the stroke of my hand They know they gettin’ it from me They know just where to go When they need their lovin’ man They know I do it for free

    Something ain't right here. Amboy Dukes broke up in 1971. Cat Scratch Fever was written in early 1976 and released in May 1977. So how did the Amboy Dukes play Cat Scratch Fever in 1970 when the song did not exist until 1977?

    Don’t take no genius to understand what Mr Van Zant was like as a human being. Just listen to his story’s sung with the music. Since I was a kid I’ve known what Skynyrd was about. This gentleman and his storied facts, are pure folk tale gold.
