Obscure Bands and slightly odd music.

[Tony M.]

I'll start.

 

[Juan Luis Vidal]

Let me continue with the true origin of speed metal....

Tough to top Hocus Pocus by focus. That lick was my ringtone for a long time. I’ll have to resurrect it.

speaking of ringtones, do you often change your phone ringtone?
I found a site with interesting ringtones https://ringtoneline.com

Not often, the novelty has worn off. Either a really loud and jarring one so I hear it (my personal phone), or more subtle and quiet so I don’t ( my work phone).

I had some app or website that let my import some of Hocus Pocus, trim it to the core lick, and convert it to whatever ringtone files are.

I love family bands and regional music. I ran into this family band at a Presonus event in Baton Rouge back in 2013. They were awesome! Not “odd”, per se, but different.

I Am Going To Try Fretting Notes Like That! Maybe Then I Will Actually Be Able To Play Guitar For Once.

[Moondog Wily]

In the 90's, I and some friends met some Gypsy Jazz cats ( Hot Club De Zigan ) at a festival in Minnesota and had a great time listening to them play as well as partying in the evenings when they were done playing! Not much material out there I can find, but I have been listening to their "Adagio" album from them ever since. Every time one of their songs comes on my random play, I smile in part because of all the good times we had, but also because I just really like their music ;~))

Friend of mine turned me on to these guys back in the day. He grew up with some of the band members in El Paso.
