Re: Re: runnin' with the devil



  Very cool, thanks for sharing that!  I'm really enjoying this
  discussion, too.

  Ahhh, music... :-)

    One of my favorite movies to watch when my daughter was young was
    Disney's "Melody Time" during the segment known as "Bumble
    Boogie" between 1:13 and 1:18 there is a breakdown which is very
    similar to what you are referring to, but with out the min3,
    Maj3, Perf5, Maj6, root run. Is it just coincidental that it also
    has "Boogie" in the title? It seems that exact type of call and
    response exists in boogie woogie piano playing and in swing jazz
    or big band.

    Check this vid out at 3:34 t0 3:40 - I think you are talking
    about something similar to this too, but this doesn't have the
    min3, Maj3, Perf5, Maj6, root run. The blonde woman singing def
    leaves an impression on the listener and the viewer! After
    combing a bunch of swing jazz I still can't find the same musical
    passage that Franny plays in Blue Comet Blues - which is the lick
    Page is playing, I wonder if somehow he morphed them. Being that
    Franny played with Benny Goodman I figured that it was a good
    place to start. Also remember - Bill said that Franny was
    responsible ie: the first, for morphing swing jazz into rock and
    roll guitar playing. No small feat, and as I listen to all the
    swing jazz horn lines I hear how some rock guitar riffs are based
    upon them. Still haven't found that min3, Maj3, Perf5, Maj6, root
    run though - maybe was not as generic pre Franny as you might
    think. Still digging and enjoying every minute of it!

    Both these videos are worth watching in their entirety for
    amusement sake alone. The pre-pyschedelia in "Bumble Boogie" is
    awesome! 1948!
    And on your aside - I'll take musical discussions any day over
    who said what to who and why! PH
