As soon as I get firm word of such action, I'll post it.

Chandler. Most of us know Eric Burden, and I'm assuming that B. Chandler may be Chas Chandler (the bass player for the Animals.) J. Lomax must be Jackie Lomax, a British singer from the 60's-70's, and A. Lomax a relative of his. These guys were from England. They might have hung out with Hell's Angels, but I really don't think they were, unless they moved to California and joined the Chapter. I'm not an Animals fan, so I don't know much history on them, maybe someone else can shed some light on this.

E P Funk makes a great statement for groove, but as I found out after really learnin the drum charts, many songs were very difficult to play technically. Although "Footstompin Music" sounds like it has a simple R&R beat (heavy on the 1 & 3 of a 4/4 measure) it is played with a triplet feel on the Kick! Very difficult!!! I've played proffessionally for 20 years and I still think its hard. As far as great licks I'm a huge fan of "Tumblin' Down" It's much more difficult to play than WAAB!! As great as the intro is, it is not as difficult to play as the drum & bass break in "Tumblin". I also think that the musicallity that Don achieves with a small kit is terrific as well. I love Neil Peart of Rush and he is well known because of his chops. BUT ..He plays a huge kit and this is impressive to the masses! The fact is...Don is great on a 5 to 6 peice kit. I doubt Peart is going to be any better behind a 5 pc!! AND one final point... Just try to sing and play at the same time and still hold the groove as solid as Don.

LARRY I've been a fan since the begining, love the early stuff, all the songs you named are GREAT! However.....(you knew this was coming :-) ) from the opening chords of 'Are You Ready' to the fade out of 'Life In Outer Space' there has never been a bad note recorded. Every song has that GFRR magic (something other groups could never achieve). Even tunes written by others (we all know which ones) have become GFRR tunes. I love TLM and SKOW just as much as MLD, SAGM'sB etc., etc. even the last two studio albums.....(I really missed Mel also) are still GFRR albums and are still great. So just to finish up the other penny of my two cents worth.................... it's just my thoughts that what really makes Grand Funk Railroad is anything that is Grand Funk Railroad. :-) GRAND FUNK LIVES!!!!!

Mine ended on the up beat....The family got together with Mick at his place (farm I should say..) If anybody has doubts about it they can be put to rest here and now... The place is huge! and I mean HUGE. Example: Mick and I went to get a couple of drinks in the house est: 6.5 minutes... We proceeded to take a quick walk around the paths of his backyard to find my hubby Bobby and son Tyler...Well lets just say we found each other mid way thru about 15 min into the walk, of course the further we went Mommys protectiveness kicked in and I started to power walk....So as far as room is concerned there is plenty...Its the perfect place for the novice campers like me who can go to the woods just not in them........ Mick was right about Jodys eye for the future the arena type setting for the band it will be most enjoyable for all to watch and listen. Now we just have to figure out how to run power lines that far down. And if there is one thing you should not listen to Mick about, its his home. This beauty is a work of art in progress...Yes it does need a lot of work but it has the same vibrations that Mick and his clan give off...Warm and inviting.... We did get into some talks of the funkfest of where people, food, and the band arena will be...

The Monte Carlo is on the strip close to the MGM Grand, New York, New York and the Luxor. The Hard Rock is off the strip, but only 5 minutes or so away. The brew pub has an old warehouse atmosphere and is quite large. They have six different types of 'home brews' and some pretty good food including wood fired pizzas. I found a small picture of the brewing kettles at http://www.monte-carlo.com/attractions I figure we can begin the festivities around 4pm or so. Does this sound agreeable to everyone? I called them today and they said no problem (they don't take reservations). If you're meeting friends in Vegas invite them along. - -=Mike=- ------------------------------ From: tom fagan Date: Tue, 27 May 1997 16:47:52 -0700 Subject: Pre Vegas party Hey Funksters, I will be there...I am speaking of the Carlo Resort & Casino if roadkill will be there!

Then they'll be "Closer To Home" at the end of the month for a headlining U.S. tour. Grand Funk's resurgence features the band's original three members, Don Brewer, Mark Farner and Mel Schacher.

Parrette" Date: Wed, 28 May 1997 17:24:26 -0400 (EDT) Subject: New welcome message Hi all, I just updated the welcome message for the list a little bit. So, I thought it might be appropriate to send it to everybody that is currently on the list -- especially with the rash of un- subscribe requests that were sent to the list over the last month. No big changes -- most of it is at the end. Anyway, here it is: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to the Grand Funk Railroad mailing list! This list is intended to be a forum where fans can come to talk about the best band in the land, the band that keeps Shinin' On, the band that keeps on playing that good ol' Rock 'N Roll Soul, *the* American Band -- Grand Funk Railroad. This list is not an "official" list. That is to say that it was not implemented by the band, its management, or record compa- nies. This list was created by a fan, for the fans, to discuss the band and related fan issues. The list is hosted by Andy Bur- nett of Roadkill Consulting (http://www.roadkill.com/) who hosts several other music-related lists and Web sites.. The list owner is William A. Parrette (wap@one.net) who put up one of the first sites on the World Wide Web that was dedicated to Grand Funk (http://w3.one.net/~wap/grandFunk.html). With this in mind, there are a few rules for this mailing list: 1. This list will only be used to discuss topics related to Grand Funk Railroad -- the band, the band members, and their music. All other off topic posts should be la- belled as such in the subject line but are strongly dis- couraged. Repeated off topic posting will be subject to warnings and may be subject to administrative action. 2. Insults will not be tolorated. An occasional flame here and there is understandable and almost expected on a mailing list but insulting other list members is com- pletely unacceptable. One warning will be given and, if not heeded, will result in immediate administrative ac- tion. 3. Common netiquette is expected to be observed on this list. If you are unaware of what this means, you are strongly encouraged to point your Web browser to either: http://rs6000.adm.fau.edu/rinaldi/netiquette.html or http://www.nccn.net/bultnbrd/faq/rfc1855.html. to get an understanding of common 'Net etiquette. This mailing list is implemented with an automated mailing list management program called Majordomo. All administrative re- quests (i.e. subscribe and unsubscribe requests) are sent to: majordomo@roadkill.com If you would like some more information about what the Major- domo mailing list software can do for you, send a mail message to the above address with a single-line, single-word message body that says "help" (without the quotes, no subject line or anything else needed). If you are experiencing difficulties, send mail to the list owner. All mail that is to be broadcast to the list at large should be sent to: grand-funk@roadkill.com and your message will be sent to each and every member that is currently subscribed to the mailing list. Please do *not* send administrative requests (i.e. unsubscribe requests) to the grand-funk address. And, please do *not* send list mail to the majordomo address. These are the only two ad- dresses that you should be concerned with -- all other grand-funk roadkill addresses are for administrative purposes only. Also, please note that the mailing list software is configured in a very special way. The mailing list is configured so that when you "Reply" to a message that came from the list, your re- sponse will will *only* be sent to the person whose message you are replying to -- *not* the list. If you want your response to be seen by the *entire* list, you must either use your "Reply to All" feature or modify the headers in your message to change the "To" field to be the list address. And, if you are using a mail- er that "quotes" the original message in the body of your reply, it would be sincerely appreciated if you would edit the quoted text so that only the parts relevant to your response are includ- ed in the message. This is especially true for subscribers to the digest version of the list. There *is* a digest version of this list. The name of the digest version is grand-funk-digest. Subscribe or unsubscribe to/from it in the exact same way you do with grand-funk. Finally, please take note of the instructions on how to unsub- scribe from the list that are included with this message. Follow those simple directions if you ever need to be removed from the lists. So, Are You Ready? Don't be Paranoid! Please Don't Worry -- no need to be Creepin' in. Get It Together, Get Back In, and let's discuss *the* American Band. Come on and ride The Railroad one more time! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Take care, keep Shinin' On, and always grok in fullness ...
