jeffcrom Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 Dang! I love that band, and I'll be in Bellingham starting on the 26th. Well, have fun, anyway. Quote
AllenLowe Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 I'm proud to say that I actually own a Billy Tipton LP - and if my blues series ever gets issued in its entirety, he/she will be on the last volume (with a not-very-good version of Willow Weep for Me.) Quote

Got ya beat, dude - I've got both of them. I once made myself a mix CD consisting of alternating tracks - one by Billy Tipton and one by the sax quartet, etc. Quote
AllenLowe Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 I've heard one version Tipton made of Sweet Georgia Brown which actually sounds as though he/she might have had some jazz chops - is there anything on your record which might indicate same? Quote

See the vinyl thread for my comments - I feel like we've gotten too far from the point of this thread, which is the incredible Johnny E's tour with the Tiptons. I'm still pissed that my visit is a couple of weeks too late to catch them in Bellingham. Quote

Johnny E Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Posted December 10, 2011 First gig of the tour (Bellingham, WA) under our belts. Lotsa fun. I can already tell I'm gonna learn a lot from these wise and talented women. Seattle tonight. Hope to see some of you on the road. Quote
Johnny E Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Posted December 13, 2011 Arcata was sublime. Next up: Weds 14 Dec: San Francisco CA @ Beth Custer & BC Records 8pm 3227 Folsom Street Quote
