Beychevelle Vertical (and apparently a discussion on the meaning of salad days)

Frank, depending on when you went through your Kingston Trio phase, that might have been as radical a gesture on your part as someone else hanging out at CBGB during the Television/Ramones era (although I don't recall there being much gobbing going between the Kingston Trio and the audience at their gigs).

And another thing, musical phases are not mutually-exclusive. I played through various and sundry phases of punk, cowpunk, new wave, emo, rockabilly, punkabilly, country, hard country, The Bakersfield Sound, bluegrass, hardcore, jazz-rock, funk, Chitlin' Circuit Soul, Chicago blues, Texas Blues, Delta Blues, alt.country, swing, speed metal, Woody & Cisco folk, heavy folk, electric folk, disco, heavy metal, death metal, NashVegas, smooth jazz (not my fault-they gave me money), bebop, country-rock, tango, modal, banda, salsa, MOR wedding crap, marching band, polka, acid jazz, and countless numbers of sensitive singer/songwriters grinding out tortured self-confessional pabulum intended to be inspirational for masses of fellow-sufferers that never seemed to materialize.

All I have played through is opera, rococo, JS Bach, renaissance polyphony, JS Bach, Mozart, classical, serialists, atonalists, impressionists, JS Bach, Mozart, baroque, JS Bach, Mozart, romantics, minimalists, JS Bach, Mozart...

-Otto (still cant muster enthusiasm for other stuff, except Dolphy and some Jazz)
 
Wow, a Camel reference. I used to love that band (in my Salad days?). I know I have some on vinyll, I need to see if I have any on CD. I think I have "I Can see your house from here".

I mostly remember them for their album covers, which is not a great testimonial for their music. When I read Thor's comment, I had to think thrice before deciding he was talking about music, not tobacco.

And while we're talking about musical styling and phases, anyone else go through an Obscure British Band Playing Wacky Music phase? Exhibit A is my vinyl copy of Gong's "Radio Gnome Invisible Part 1 and the Flying Teapot"

Good to know though I'm a little disappointed that my salad dressing pun didn't elicit so much as a single groan.

I successfully avoided that phase, although I did have some Bonzo Dog Band records and at one point had a Japanese pressing of Emerson, Lake & Palmer's "Pictures At An Exhibition".

what, no shockabilly? Eden, you're so closed minded!

ps - i never heard of putting bechamel on my salad, let alone stuff that's been sitting around for 30 yrs, but i'll give it a try.

Rest in peace Lux Interior, passed away just this week. Very, very sad, only 60 years old.

Indeed, the Cramps put on one hell of a show. Mr. Interior will be missed.

I got really into Peter, Paul & Mary for awhile. Those guys killed.

Figuratively speaking, of course. Anyone know if they're still touring?

Enough of "salad days," let's go boldly off-topic: what's the source of "salad spinner"?

I've always wondered.

Perhaps it is some sort of kissing party game for vegetarians?
 
Well there is a device for drying lettuce called a salad spinner. I would have thought the term self-explanatory. Does it mean something else?

I believe that in hipster circles it now refers to some sort of oblique sex act. Alas, those of us living outside the epicenter of hipsterism are relegated to the status of clooless noobs. Perhaps our more connected colleagues will enlighten us.

We probably don't want to know. I mean is this the direction we really want this thread to take?

Lets talk ice fishing instead. It's been a pretty solid year so far. How about you?
 
The wines sound tasty. I like tastings that help us see the long view.

btw the guy in Eden's story who ended up with the Selmer did very well if he kept the horn. Mark VI sax prices are still going up!.

Wow.
