“Louie Louie” is an American rock ‘n’ roll song written by Richard Berry in 1955. It has become a standard in pop and rock, with hundreds of versions recorded by different artists. The song is written in the style of a Jamaican ballad; and tells, in simple verse-chorus form, the first-person story of a Jamaican sailor returning to the island to see his lady love. The singer brags of his “fine little girl” to the Louie of the title, presumably a bartender.

A version by The Kingsmen recorded in 1963 is the best-known recording. The Kingsmen’s version was also the subject of an FBI investigation about the supposed but non-existent obscenity of the lyrics, an investigation that ended without prosecution.

November 7th, 2008 - Practice Session

Sorry I was tuning and my strap popped off … and thanks for waiting for me

was TIGHT! everything really seems to be coming together now that we’ve been getting together once a week instead of every other week. I was looking back over the recordings from early 2008, we were only getting through about 14 songs in a 4 hour practice .. thanks to alot of good times in between the songs. We’re getting through all 3 sets (38 songs) in the past few practices and still getting in another 4-5 songs and jams.

JD’s come up with some great posters and we’re still waiting on the shirts that will hopefully be here before Nov. 21st.

Check out the music blog,  going to be adding some more tunes from last practice.

“All Right Now” is a rock single by the English band Free. The song, released in the summer of 1970, hit #1 on the UK rock music charts, #2 on the UK singles chart and #4 on the U.S. charts. “All Right Now” originally appeared on the album Fire And Water, which Free recorded on the Island Records label, formed by Chris Blackwell. In 1991, the song was remixed and re-released, reaching #8 on the UK singles chart.

November 7th, 2008 Practice Session

From last practice. Yea, there were some snags but nothing that messed anything up.

There are some songs that just stand out to me, each for it’s own reason. Whats Up has been a surprise for me. I’ve always loved that song since it came out and playing it is so much better. When it comes together it’s amazing for me.

Actually any song that PJ gets to do his thing is amazing to me and actually a honor to say I play with him and I can say that for each one of the bandmates, they are all truly amazing.

For What Its Worth is playing right now. What an amazing song this is. Still fits in today’s time depending on what side you’re on. We’ve played this many different ways, I think I like this version the best. I’ll find the one with the solo and put up next.

Werewolves Of London, yes PJ had this idea before KR and he has to pay $50.00 to pick up the trash .. Holy Crap! what a fun song to play, Turn It Up!

ok, had to skip to the Jam from that practice. Not to be vain but Damn! I can not stop listening to it. Not sure what style you would call it.
