Don't know where you were going to school, but it's apparent you weren't paying attention in music class.

No less that FOUR Bb major chords in the illustration above, depending on how far down the fretboard you want to play.
A# is just another way of putting it.

Thank you.

Volcano, you should consider taking fingerboard theory. It was obvious you were ok with the A#/Bb chord when you posted my interpretation of the chords on another website.

Got nothing against you, but it p*** me off then I get called out for being an idiot after a lot of hard work putting that chord chart together, only to be correct in the first place, simply because you don't know that there are two names for every musical note.

I don't play guitar, but this looks very nice, and quite helpful to those who do!! You rock HD18JBGuy!!

On a related note... Johnny B on the Loop was just talking about the disastrous federal budget with someone... wasn't paying enough attention to know who the someone was, but that's moot anyway.

At the close of the discussion, Johnny played "We've Got A Lot To Drink About"! Always makes me happy to hear Jimmy stuff like that on the radio!! :D :D

EDIT: Radio show recording also found here on Jokelben.....

Totally remember Buck Butt, but hadn't seen it in video form before!! :lol: :lol: Love it! Thanks for digging it up! Always fun to listen to, and love that you can detect a touch of Buzz's laugh in there as well! :D :D

I think you should email that to Johnny... I bet he'd get a kick out of it! For years, whenever Jimmy was on, callers would always clamor for Buck Butt. It seems lately he usually calls in when he's in town, but you're right, it's been waaaaaaaaaaay to long since Jimmy was a studio guest on Johnny's show.

I've been to a couple live 'Showgram' events in recent years that happened to fall on Buffett weekend, hoping Jimmy might be a surprise guest, but no such luck.

Man, been quite a few years (17? 18?) since I was at a Showgram event. Went to many breakfasts and several Johnny and the Leisuresuits concerts. Ahh, the good old days. Odd that I wasn't a Parrothead way back then, but do remember all the Buck Butt commotion.

Thanks Tiki Bar! I appreciate that.

Good to hear that got some radio play. Hopefully there is a playback available somewhere.

OMG — you're talking about Johnny Brandmeier!!!! I thought I was probably the only sentient being who would admit to having heard about him and his band.

Came across an old cassette tape of his (Best of Brandmeier, I believe it was titled). Fairly decent original songs; especially liked his version of "I Fought the Law" where he sang about his travails with the FCC, the Loop, and some other southern radio station.

So he's still on the air, eh? Heck, he must be almost 60 by now.....

Yep, he's still on the air, and being a creature of habit, and an ever-loyal fan, I still listen. And being he was probably my first obsession, I can tell you he'll be 53 on July 15th. :oops: :lol: :oops: My favorite cassette was "Almost Live, Almost New", which had Hey Der, Moo Moo, We're All Crazy, Fought the Law, etc on it. I might have to whip it out, for old time's sake!

Speaking of whipping it out, I've resisted, but I think it's time to do it again... anyone happen to attend my wedding on the Odyssey Yacht at Navy Pier (when it was a large flat cement nothing) in September 1991? It was an open to the public breakfast broadcast!

And now, the rest of the story - setting the wayback machine:

Here's the short version... Johnny B... Chicago's #1 morning radio Showgram in 91... prize was a wedding with all the bells and whistles, in conjunction with SportsFest, live over the radio airwaves from the Odyssey Yacht at Navy Pier... picked 2 biggest "sports fan" couples to go head to head in a trivia contest live from the studio friday morning... we won, to be married the following friday morning... we weren't even engaged, but living in sin... but almost all of our friends and family listened to the contest on the radio, then rallied to attend the live Friday morning wedding broadcast at a week's notice.

Included dress, tuxes, rings, flowers, cakes, San Diego Chicken best man, Laker Girls bridesmaids, Mr America carried me down aisle, limo from home and back, Burt Parks last public appearance, too many to mention them all sports celebrities in our wedding book and photo album, Lonnie Brooks played, brunch at The Drake, pictures, cruise honeymoon (that we never took)... I think that's about all. Oh, and a lifetime with the guy in the tux... they said it would never last... and they were right! :wink: :lol: Divorced last March, after 16 years.

Now where are those old cassette tapes? I bet I have a couple around too. And I seem to vaguely remember a wedding bit/event quite awhile back. Sorry the marriage didn't work out, but I bet that was one heck of a fun/interesting wedding!

I still remember one Johnny B breakfast event where he jumped up on our group's table and one of my friends pants-ed Johnny. He just pulled em up and kept on rolling. Not annoyed at all. Man, does Johnny have the energy. ADD for sure! :D

I came a little late to the party on this song, but I downloaded the live version from Itunes last night. What a great song, part JB from the 70's and part Country Joe....what a fun song to listen to

Wow, Tiki - that's quite the story! Sorry about the divorce, hope you're okay with it and sorry I didn't find you at Alpine. Another packed show this year and what a great time it was!
Hope you found my pm HD Guy. Thanks again for doing this, very nice of you. Sorry you were ripped off and had it posted on another site. My son and I especially love the line "Leave it to me to hit the reboot key and write a high speed drinking song!" It'll be fun for him to be able to strum along.
