What are you listening to?

Okay collecting music for 62 years. Because I always new I wanted to which come with potential difficulties depending on the number of times I have moved my stuff.

The Residents not something I ever purchased or Buckethead. More of a theatrical performance for both. Akin to what Alice cooper and his inventive performance schtick and the Residents and Buckethead as performance art shows

I do not either. I sort of lost interest in metal around 74. Melody moved up in my intersts and progressive leaped ahead in my focus plus i was coupled or tastes were varied since 1974. I jumped into being interested in music in other continents. America beats you to death with redundancy and sales pitching. I still feel that way about spectacle making, and this is 52 years later.

Brian: Memory not as good as it used to be but were there not four brothers when they did "Paper Doll"?

We share a love of fine music. Great question!
I wasn't even a twinkle in my Father's and Mother's eyes in February 1942 when "Paper Doll"

was recorded.
But when the 1st couple of bars of the 3 part harmony 3rd verse in "Never Make A Promise In Vain" came on KBRD(.org) during our walk today it was obvious who I was listening to.

I am not very knowledgeable about The Mills Brothers, so I looked it up. Here is a composite of what I found...
"The quartet consisted of Donald (lead tenor vocals, April 29, 1915 – November 13, 1999), Herbert (tenor vocals, April 2, 1912 – April 12, 1989), Harry (baritone vocals, August 19, 1913 – June 28, 1982), and John Jr. (tenor guitar, double bass, bass vocals; October 19, 1910 – January 24, 1936).
After John Jr's passing session guitarists Bernard Addison (from 1936), Norman Brown (from 1938) were hired specifically as guitar accompanists to replace the instrumental/bass vocal role of John Mills Jr."

Their harmony was special and without seeing them you knew it was the Mills Brothers.
