Hey, it's songday. Today I pick a song that I believe warrants it and publish an assortment of the covers of that song by various persons and or groups. Pick a few that are new to you and have a listen. It is also, of course, an open thread to talk about anything you feel like.

Today's song is: Tell Mama (Daddy)

Clarence Carter - Tell Daddy

Etta James

Patrick Samson Set

The Soul Survivors - Tell Daddy

Martha Velez

Janice Joplin

Keri Leigh & The Blue Devils

Tedeschi - Trucks Band with Sharon Jones

Sat AM OT

Any chance you could work this into your title in the future so everyone will recognize it as the Morning OT? At least the banner perhaps? The consistency would be nice.

We all thank you for the music and donating your music diary to be the new Saturday morning OT.

Thanks for reading and for the suggestion. I already

incorporated that into the new ones created after we decided to make it the morning thread, I'll have to edit the rest as soon as I get time. Still need to do one more for vacation coverage first.

Yesterday WVBR (see left column) did several hours of retread

covers. Interesting. And that was from one of the DJs (CJs, DJs????) who is post-millennial, a current student at Cornell.

I find it hard to resist the temptation, frequent questions

that occur unbidden in what substitutes for my mind include

Who did the original,
Who did the one using (some instrument),
Who did that one that I really liked,
Who did that really uptempo (downtempo) version,
Didn't Muddy (Dion) do this.

We won't even get into "I wonder if Garcia/Clapton/The Stones ever did this"
etc.

Not exactly appropriate, no covers done but this is viral

and the goats don't care.

Good Day Sir

Your non-conformance is appreciated by some. Everytime I use an alternate banner, I get conformed.

Thanks, Tim. Nonconformity used to be my middle name,

but this is simply a conversion glitch.

Heh

I am just pissy today. I will have to watch my Ps and Qs, because my mood is leaking into comments. You may notice, elsewhere.

Meh, call outs can be called out on the same theory that

call outs may be called in the first place. I would not have named names, but that's simply my style, keep personalities out of it unless they are relevant. It happens to be part of what separates (or at least once separated) legitimate press from tabloids, and certain professionals from others.

But, frankly, who gives a shit.

Thanks for dropping by and for contributing.

BTW, it's an open thread, so everything is appropriate, dem's da rulez.

I had a ready source of stone, to dry-lay for mine. But filled with tree offerings from self-trim it never got burned in 2016 due to burning bans locally. My trees keep offering. The drought will officially be over soon. 1/14/2017, Ithaca. No snow on ground. Just flat leaves. Wet.

Hands down ...

Janis Joplin.

Tedeschi - Trucks Band with Sharon Jones is not bad either.

Wish I had some tequila right now!
