Bip Bop...
This is a very clear video! What an inspiration!

I want the video that this and others that you will find on YouTube at
this location. Does anybody know I can buy it?

fattuchus...
This is great! Thanks. He was a super talented.

BlackMonk...
Are you sure you don't want to take that back? He liked Yoko, you know. He
even recorded about 8 of her songs.

Toxteth O'Grady...
Egad!

I heard John Lennon liked her too. What a quandry for the Fat one...


fattuchus...
Oh, c'mon y'all.


I've heard four. One came off really well, the others not so much.

fattuchus...
Everyone has different taste. I didn't listen to all of the Nilsson
videos at you tube . . . just two of them. However I have a couple
Nilsson albums which I like. I think he's very talented. I didn't
realize he was such a pianist.

BlackMonk...
So you're admitting that a person could know something about music and still
like Yoko's music?

He really was an amazing talent. One of the best singers around, he often
made it sound easy, but try singing along with "I Guess The Lord Must Be In
New York City" and you'll know what I mean.

Did you see the video from the Smothers Brothers show?

BlackMonk...
I think so. Of course, he also did the music for "The Courtship of Eddie's
Father," which often consisted of his vocal commentary on the action along
with the theme song. (One of the last things he did was to produce a punk
version by Brandon Cruz.)


F Parella...
Nilsson had such a great voice, and so many fantastic songs. He had a
Beatlesy spirit to his music without ever being merely derivative of
them, like, say, Oasis.
