There are plenty of independent, DIY labels.



DIY labels are part of the music industry.


I love people who THINK they know what they are talking about yet almost everything they say proves that premise to be false.

I know it’s all rumors and unsubstantiated at this point but this is from Blaney’s wife.


She better have receipts or this is going to go very poorly for the Blaneys.

As for Ryan, given his reluctance to lift for SVG, not sure why he expects others to lift for him, other than he’s a typical driver. I was not a Blaney fan, but I kind of liked him (although that stache has tested that). Now, he just looks lame. I will say this, he showed he can take a punch or two.

As for the stache, it’s always looked like he wanted to shave his head and become a n 1890s bare-knuckle prize fighter. After last night, we see that is not an endeavor he should pursue.

Jobs was revolutionary. But when he died Apple became “let’s let others invent and we will just copy.”


You must be unfamiliar with the Xerox PARC trip Jobs and others took in the early 80s. Xerox had things like Ethernet and GUIs years before the Mac was invented.
That's a crap ton of pedals and electronics for a band playing acoustic instruments.

Now I wonder who would be 2nd on the list. The Cosby couple at 89 and 80 would be a good start I think


Meredith Baxter and Michael Gross from Family Ties are both 79 (Phylicia Rashad is 78). Of course Cosby is much older. But Family Ties started in 82 before The Cosby Show in 84. So in a sense, Steven and Elyse have been a couple on TV longer than Clair and Cliff.

She actually was credited in episodes from 1975-1978


She only appeared in about 11 or so. 7 of those in the first season.

Their daughter Rachel, however, only appeared in 4 eps. 3 in S1 and one in S7

I will drop a hint...since Kotter was mentioned, the answer to the original question comes from a show that aired on the same night and network as Kotter.


I'll stay with Hall and Barbara. Both 95. Barney Miller was on ABC as was Kotter.
Hal Linden and Barbara Barrie from Barney Miller. Although you don't really see her after the first season.

Married or just a couple? Richie Cunningham and Lori Beth are still kicking


They did get married on the show. But my guess is the OP is talking about where the characters are the focus. Ron had really left the show. Richie was in the Army and shipped off to Greenland.

What was she famous for before the Gong show?


She was a singer.

From WIki:

In 1953, Morgan made a recording of "Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries" issued by Derby Records,[6] which made it to #26 on the U.S. Billboard record chart. Soon after, she received an RCA Victor recording contract,[7] and she had five hits in one year, including her biggest hit "That's All I Want from You", which reached #3 on the chart.[8] Her other notable hits included "There's a Dream in My Heart" by Rolande Maxwell Young, "The Longest Walk", and "Pepper Hot Baby". After spending six years with RCA Victor, Morgan joined MGM Records in 1959.[3]

From 1954 to 1955, Morgan was a vocalist on the ABC television series show Stop the Music. In November 1955, the British music magazine, NME, reported that Morgan was the top female vocalist in the U.S. Cash Box poll.

I always wondered what a band would look like with Glenn Frey and Tom Scholz.
quote:

David Paich the pianist for Toto father Marty Paich was one of the greatest arrangers ever.


The Paich and Porcaro family are both established L.A. Musicians. Marty was a fantastic composer, arranger etc and Joe Porcaro (dad of Jeff, Mike and Steve) was an amazing jazz/session drummer.

Even with the singer Joe Williams, his dad is kinda famous. You may have heard of John Williams... yes, THE John Williams.

Luke is kind of the only one of the L.A. guys who wasn't a second generation musician. His dad worked on TV Shows as a assistant director

I could be wrong but I don’t think he played on Edge of Seventeen. I think that's Waddy Wachtel.


You are correct. Waddy has been Nicks's guitarist for decades. Just don't look up his "legal problems".
Went to see Toto last night in Long Beach. My buddy knows the young keyboard player in Toto (Dennis's first gig as a kid was in my buddy's band). So we got great seats and got to hang out backstage. Saw Paich (he only came out to sing Africa), hung out with Dennis and got to meet Luke. He is exactly as you see him in interviews.

Dude is amazing.

More claims of AI being used in an ad. TBH, the music was, let's say, not my cup of tea however it was created. Very odd choice for an ad for strings.
