spacey Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 I wonder if Joiners have a "the best ten doors I ever hung" page ? It's a Job when you are paid as a session player. Quote
lowdown Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Well, I suppose if you come across a joiner who has hung over ten thousand doors, it might be of interest over at joinerschat.co.uk, regarding the best ten doors that he has 'ever hung'. Edited June 8, 2015 by lowdown Quote

tauzero Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) [quote name='BILL POSTERS' timestamp='1433793045' post='2794061'] Dali and Picasso had jobs where they were paid to be painters, doesn't mean they shouldn't be recognised for being exceptionally good at it. [/quote] The analogy is more that they should be able to say what their favourite ten paintings are, regardless of whether they were doing them on a whim or had been commissioned. The same goes for composers such as Bach and Mozart, who were paid to compose - I don't see why the fact that they were paid to compose their works, either as commissions or as part of their employment, shouldn't mean they should be disqualified from saying what their favourites were. Although it would be difficult to get an opinion from them now. Edited June 10, 2015 by tauzero Quote
wombatboter Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Thanks for the detailed information about "Wichita Lineman", it's been one of my favourite songs ever and now things are more clear.... Quote
socrates Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) In Kaye related news... this is still on iPlayer if you haven't listened already... she was quite a mean jazz guitar player too (she is playing the 6 string as she is interviewed, oddly). Given cheesy or boring bass parts by producers she always found a way to make them interesting and in most cases actually be central to the song: [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05nk25s"]http://www.bbc.co.uk...rammes/b05nk25s[/url] Wichita Lineman is definitely in my top ten recordings of all time, as is God Only Knows (also her...)

chris_b Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 She's also on 2 of my all time favorites: You've lost That Loving Feeling and River Deep, Mountain High. Quote
tauzero Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 And personally, after a re-listen to "Wichita Lineman", I feel that it's a good song struggling to emerge from the dreadful cloying strings and syrupy voice. A possible diamond immersed in sludge. Quote
