MTM intro makes top 50 list (Rick 12 mentioned!)

[jingle_jangle]

I listened very closely and can't spot any Rick 12 string. Anybody?

Nope.

JimK,

McGuinn also quotes the beginning of "Asturias" when he does "Eight Miles High" on acoustic at his shows. It seems Isaac Albeniz and Andres Segovia have had as much of an influence on his playing as John Coltrane.

I could swear I heard Segovia quote some McGuinn when I saw him in the mid '70s.

Just when I start thinking my favorite era in rock'n'roll is really old hat, something like this comes along. Nice they listed that.

Hi Jim---long time, no communiques----i've been off the grid, and got back on today and noticed this thread, and your comment......I get to feeling that way too, except that I believe 1963-1967 was a Holy Grail period for music in ANY millenium......McGuinn masterfully took a riff from another century, and the Rick 12 carried it into history even farther.......you gotta admit....Nashville notwithstanding, there is nothing of any art value being produced in current pop music. Yes, we still have Buddy and Judy Miller, Todd Rundgren, Mary-Chapin Carpenter, Steve Earle and other artists still making great music, but it is not in the mainstream.....Taylor Swift and her computer assisted voice and forgetable songs ARE ......and she is crying all the way to the bank because of MY opinion.....

Ay CARAMBA.......

[vynesmusic]

Nope.

Me neither......can' hear one....just a tinkling piano, probably played by Barely Manenough, er, sorry, Barry Manilow......

wow....MTM and Valerie Harper were HOT......

[doctorwho]

Nope.

While I was in grad school, an undergrad working in the lab across the hall played for me a recording he had of a 'hard rock' cover of the Mary Tyler Moore theme song (IIRC it was by a Minneapolis-based band) ... it was a hoot!

That would be Hüsker Dü doing "Love Is All Around". Great tune and fun interpretation. Gets 'em dancin' in the aisles!

Hüsker Dü does a great version of Ticket To Ride.

Thanks, Stefan!
