“Yacht Rock” formats are doing to Steely Dan what “Muzak” did to Pat Metheny.
Who puts filet mignon in a sausage grinder?
I’ve heard Phoebe Snow and Joan Armatrading.
Right. Transportation music to get you to Margaritaville.
(I confess I like a fine sausage as much as filet mignon...)
I’m a girl. And own a 40 ft sailboat. And there are actually quite a few women in my marina that own boats as well.
It was a joke, playing off a common phrase. Most of my boat time over the last few years has been on a female friend’s. (But very boyish of you pulling out the measurement for credibility.)
You can submit suggestions.
I put the measurement in simply because there is quite a difference in running a 40 ft sailboat vs. a daysailer.
There is something "cool jazzy" or "smooth jazzy" about some of it, and there's some overlap with Kenny G. type music, but doesn't "Jazz Rock" refer more to music like Herbie Hancock's or Chick Corea's? I think of something a little livelier and funkier. I also think, probably wrongly, of Chicago and its brass section.
Yacht rock is kind of a stupid label, and it has cultural associations that would be considered problematic nowadays, but it was probably considered less insulting than "Easy Listening" or "Middle of the Road."
We don’t listen to music much on our yacht. Sometimes when we are cruising we’ll have something in the background, but, I prefer the sounds of the boat moving, the wind in the sails, the conversations with my wife, and, no other sounds.
I LOVE RLJones. She is a true storyteller. Nicollette Larson & Neil Young made a great album together. No way they weren’t in love back in the day.
Nicolette Larson?
Amy Holland (Wife of Michael McDonald)
A book written by Rickie Lee Jones telling stories about her life and music was published recently (Last Chance Texaco: Chronicles of an American Troubadour). If you like her music, and I have since listening to her as a busker on Main Street in Santa Monica in the 70’s, you’ll really enjoy her book.
...well she is intimidating evidently. 12 years ago had a house for sale and a Beverly Hills broker told my wife to clear out as a client wanted to tour the property. Wife worked for HP out of the inhouse office and said take a hike, she can come in and take her time, but we’re working here... Ricky comes in and then wants to take pictures but can’t get her digital camera to work. Wife volunteers to take her pix and gives her the card, Ricky bought the house and the realtor had to buy her our fridge cause she was afraid to tell Ricky that she couldn’t have it in the sale!
Thanks Ricky, sold just before the price dropped in 2008!
