Arlo Guthrie was born with a guitar in one hand and a harmonica in the other, in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York in 1947. He is the eldest son of America's most beloved singer/writer/philosopher Woody Guthrie and Marjorie Mazia Guthrie, a professional dancer with the Martha Graham Company and founder of The Committee to Combat Huntington's Disease.

He grew up surrounded by dancers and musicians: Pete Seeger, Ronnie Gilbert, Fred Hellerman and Lee Hays (The Weavers), Leadbelly, Cisco Houston, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, all of whom were significant influences on Arlo's musical career. Guthrie gave his first public performance at age 13 and quickly became involved in the music that was shaping the world during the 1960s.

Here is my Interview with Arlo Guthrie:

Hi,i'm French i would like someone to help me to write the lyrics of an amercan song for me.
Actually,i play in a band and i'll soon have to cover a song of the band Infectious grooves which is called Good times are out to get you.
But the problem is that there is no booklet in the CD,so i can't find the lyrics,but i need it for the singer.
If someone could accept to listen to the song and write the lyrics for me,i would be very grateful of him/her.

I thank you in advance.

How is this forum? Active? I hope so. I've been looking for a good music discussion forum for a while. I'm a big blues fan, and a big punk fan. I also listen to a lot of rock and some metal. Just for a sweeping generalization of what I listen to. As I hang around more, you guys will get to know my tastes more. Hope this is a good forum.

Went to my daughter's place last night for my first experience of the Wii.

I must say it's a very different gaming experience to what I'm used to (PS3), and is very impressive & loads of fun.

We tried 10-pin bowling, boxing, & tennis from Wii Sport, and some of the Wii Play games.

Having said that, don't think I'll want to play on one regularly. Probably won't be buying.

Have you tried it, and what do you think ??

This is for anyone that likes dinosaur prog rock.

Went to see this band live ata alocal venue last weekend, and they made some impression !!

Ian Anderson - band leader, vocalist, flautist - is a brilliant frontman, and at 61 years of age could still teach the youngsters a thing or two about stagecraft. This man is a spell-binding performer and everyone reading this owes it to themselves to check it out before they stop touring.

Martin Barre - guitarist, and the other remaining long term band member - is a dazzling musician who is just a joy to watch. Again, a near pensioner who looks every bit the grey haired rock star.

The whole band oozed professionalism, and a great time was had by all. Mrs Tiggi was knocked sideways by this lot !!

After sitting around and wishing I knew how to play the guitar, I've finally decided to just go ahead and learn. I’m not new to music by any means, I've been playing violin and piano since I was 5 years old (I'm now 24) and have been in some light touch with the guitar.
My biggest problem now is where to start. I also understand that there are two different types of acoustic guitars: steel-string and classical. I'd actually like to learn a bit of both...to be able to play some classical guitar (John Williams blows me away) along with some more light-hearted Jack Johnson-type stuff. I plan on taking some online lessons to help get me started and want to have a source that can match all the needs I want like learning all the chords,. I just don’t it to be over soon, but practice with daily lessons.
Suggest me something that I can look upon …… Sorry for the long post and thanks for your help!

Got the chance to see Delta Goodrem live earlier this week and she is an amazing performer. Hadn't heard of her before that night, but now im counting down until 6/24 when her US debut album comes out. There's a bunch of her music up at myspace.com/deltagoodrem if you wanna check her out.

Totally Baked is probably the most popular weed movie out now. What you guy's think? I just saw it and I love it. Not only will you learn about weed, but its funnney! Dont take my word for it, check out the clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkISgxiAsjM

Hi you guys!

I used to visit the old forum from time to time, but for some reason I just forgot about this for a long time... Now I registered again, since the whole forum has changed completely.

I'm warning you, I suffer from reoccuring internet detox periods (I just made that up, so ask if you have no clue what that means), so I can't promise I'll be here every week... I'm trying to balance my life with the pc so be patient ::
