Yes that would have been great.............. but then they would've been in suits.
And it just would not be the STONES!

Yeah, those houndstooth jackets---and I think there were cumberbunds and everything! I read that each one started "losing" a piece or two of their ensemble, and after a couple of weeks, no one tried to "suit up" the Stones again...

Blue Moonlighting
Making Film and Music History Simultaneously
by Jim Ridley
From Nashville Scene, August 1, 1996.
Copyright © 1996, CityPress Publishing, Inc.

On Tuesday, July 9, at a small recording studio in upstate New York, a Nashville film crew was on hand as musical history was made. As video and audio tape rolled into the wee, wee hours, five decades of rock 'n' roll greats, including members of the Band, the Rolling Stones, the Rock 'n' Roll Trio, and Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, gathered at Band drummer Levon Helm's studio in Woodstock, N.Y., for an all-night jam session of epic proportions.

The occasion was the visit of two of rock 'n' roll's most influential players, Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana, who are recording tracks for an upcoming album and accompanying documentary. As guitarist and drummer for Elvis Presley's 1950s backing band, the Blue Moon Boys, Moore and Fontana helped ignite a revolution in pop music that has never been quelled. Since 1968, when they reunited to back Elvis in his dramatic '68 comeback TV special, they've largely remained outside the spotlight, focusing on session work and side careers.

That will change next year with the release of a feature-length documentary on the Blue Moon Boys, which coincides with Moore and Fontana's new album and the publication of Moore's long-awaited autobiography. (It also coincides with the 20th anniversary of Elvis' death in 1977.) The album is being recorded in sessions around the country with an all-star guest list, which so far includes the Mavericks, Tracy Nelson, the Tractors, Cheap Trick, Joe Ely, the BoDeans, Chet Atkins, and the reformed Bill Black Combo--whose founder, the late bassist Bill Black, rounded out the Blue Moon Boys. The sessions are being filmed by Nashville director Thom Oliphant, who has followed Moore and Fontana on a sentimental journey through the Memphis, Louisiana, and Arkansas of rock 'n' roll's infancy.

"We wanted to tell the story from their point of view," says Dan Griffin, who is coproducing the documentary with Philip Cheney, a member (with Oliphant) of the local film-production group known as the Collective. "They're probably the only people in the Elvis world that haven't cashed in on it." The model for the documentary, he says, is Let's Get Lost, Bruce Weber's haunting 1989 portrait of the late jazz trumpeter Chet Baker.

Where the musical footage in that film was somber, however, the raucous atmosphere at Helm's Woodstock studio sounds anything but. Keith Richards, who has called Moore "the man who made me want to play," brought his 82-year-old father Bert. Helm brought longtime Bandmates Rick Danko and Garth Hudson, along with relative newcomers Jim Weider, Richard Bell, and Randy Cairlante. Former Heartbreakers drummer Stan Lynch produced. (Other tracks have been produced by D'Ville Records impresario Garry Tallent.) After laying down a guitar track with Moore, Richards swapped vocals with Helm on a sweltering number called "Deuce and a Quarter," which was penned by Nashvillians Gwil Owen and Kevin Gordon.

The evening only got hotter, as Graham Parker, Marshall Crenshaw, and Rock 'n' Roll Trio guitarist Paul Burlison joined the group for a jam session that was still going strong at 4 a.m. The roomful of legends tore through cover after cover, including a hair-raising version of "Willie and the Hand Jive" that found Richards playing a floor tom while Fontana and Helm dueled on their kits. (The gifted Nashville photographer Jim Herrington, who has ably chronicled the Lower Broadway honky-tonk scene, was snapping pictures all the while.) In total, Moore and Fontana spent three days in Woodstock, thus giving the moviemakers 24 solid hours of High-8 studio footage. "It was the most incredible musical moment of my life," Griffin says.

The documentary promises other treats as well. Rare footage taken in 1969, during sessions for the album Mother Earth Country, shows Moore, Fontana, and Tracy Nelson performing in Moore's Nashville studio with the Jordanaires, Charlie McCoy, and Pete Drake. The footage was shot, intriguingly enough, by noted underground filmmaker Robert Frank, director of the often-bootlegged Rolling Stones documentary Cocksucker Blues.

Griffin says the film has been in the works for nearly five years, but it gathered steam with the participation of Moore, who in the past had understandably shied away from the deluge of Elvis-related projects. "I've never seen Scotty happier," Griffin said after the Woodstock sessions. As dawn approached after hours of jamming, Moore was seen passing Burlison in the hall on the way to his room. "Paul, don't you steal any of my licks," joked Moore to the man whose fuzzbomb technique on "Train Kept A Rollin' " is considered a milestone in rock 'n' roll guitar. Burlison is said to have laughed. Watch for the documentary early in the fall of 1997 and the LP next spring.

Tampa Red (January 8, 1904[1] – March 19, 1981), born Hudson Woodbridge but known
from childhood as Hudson Whittaker, was an American blues musician.

Tampa Red is best known as an accomplished and influential
blues guitarist who had a unique single-string slide style. His
songwriting and his silky, polished "bottleneck" technique
influenced other leading Chicago blues guitarists, such as
Big Bill Broonzy and Robert Nighthawk, as well as Muddy
Waters, Elmore James, Mose Allison and many others.
In a career spanning over 30 years he also recorded pop,
R&B and hokum records. His best known recordings include
the classic compositions 'It's Tight Like That', 'Black Angel
Blues', 'Crying Won't Help You', 'It Hurts Me Too', and 'Love
Her with a Feeling'".



In 1928, Tampa Red became the first black musician to
play a National steel-bodied resonator guitar, the loudest
and showiest guitar available before amplification, acquiring
one in the first year they were available. This allowed him
to develop his trademark bottleneck style, playing single
string runs, not block chords, which was a precursor to
later blues and rock guitar soloing. The National guitar
he used was a gold-plated tricone, which was found in
Illinois in the 1990s by music-shop owner and guitarist
Randy Clemens and later sold to the "Experience Music
Project" in Seattle. Tampa Red was known as "The Guitar
Wizard".

Today in Music History - Feb. 4
The Canadian Press
Sat, 4 Feb 2012

Today is Feb. 4:

In 1894, Belgian musician and inventor Adolphe Sax died at 79. He gave the world the saxophone, the saxtromba and the sax horn.

In 1928, "Les Disciples de Massenet," a 65-voice mixed choir, was founded in Montreal by Charles Goulet. By 1979, its 51st anniversary, the choir was estimated to have given 1,500 performances, including several tours of Europe.

In 1948, Vincent Fournier, better known as Alice Cooper, was born in Detroit. His rock 'n' roll horror show in the 1970's featured chicken-killing and snake-fondling while singing such songs as "Refrigerator Heaven" and "I'm Eighteen." Cooper went into semi-retirement in 1977, when alcohol problems forced him to undergo hospital treatment. He later returned to performing. He released his 25th studio album, "Along Came a Spider," in July, 2008.

In 1962, Capitol Records of Canada released "The Beatles'" "Love Me Do," more than two years before the single was released in the U.S. Former Capitol A&R man Paul White says "Love Me Do" sold a grand total of 88 (correct) copies. The follow-up, "Please, Please Me," did little better, but the third single, "She Loves You," went to the top of the Canadian charts. Three "Beatles" albums -- "Beatlemania! With the Beatles," "Twist and Shout" and "Long Tall Sally" -- came out in Canada before the group had made much impact in the U.S.

In 1969, Columbia Records signed Johnny Winter to a five-year, $300,000 contract, which was unprecedented for a new artist.

In 1971, "The Osmonds" received their first gold record, for "One Bad Apple."

In 1977, "American Bandstand" ran a special 25th anniversary show on ABC television. Among the highlights were Chuck Berry. An all-star band, including Charlie Daniels, "The Pointer Sisters" and Gregg Allman, jammed on "Roll Over Beethoven."

In 1982, British rocker Alex Harvey died, one day short of his 47th birthday.

In 1983, singer Karen Carpenter died at her parents' home in Los Angeles of a heart attack brought on by her running battle with anorexia nervosa. Her death at the age of 32 brought about more public awareness of the disease, characterized by a loss of appetite brought on by mental illness. "The Carpenters" -- Karen and her brother Richard -- first gained notice in 1970 with their soft-rock cover version of "The Beatles" "Ticket to Ride." Later that year came their first chart-topping record, "Close to You." That was followed by a dozen other hits, including two other No. 1s, "Top of the World" in 1973 and "Please Mr. Postman" in 1975.

In 1987, Liberace, the flashy entertainer who earned the title "Mr. Showmanship," died at his home in Palm Springs, Calif., at age 67. His doctor said Liberace had been gravely ill for weeks from a combination of anemia, emphysema and heart disease. But a later autopsy revealed that Liberace died from a form of pneumonia caused by AIDS. Liberace dazzled audiences for four decades with his romantic piano flourishes and outrageous costumes. His trademark was candelebras adorning his pianos.

In 1989, Jethro Burns, the mandolin-playing half of the country music duo "Homer and Jethro," died in Evanston, Ill., of cancer. He was 69.

In 1989, Australian Trevor Lucas, a veteran of the British folk-rock bands "Fotheringay" and "Fairport Convention," died in Sydney of a heart attack. He was 45.

In 1995, "The Rolling Stones" played before the largest crowd on their "Voodoo Lounge" tour, 100,000 people at a the real football stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

In 1996, Rob Pilatus of the defunct pop duo "Milli Vanilli" was clobbered with a baseball bat after he tried to break into a car and a house in Los Angeles. Residents held him until police arrived. He was sentenced to a total of 90 days in jail for that incident and two other violent confrontations. Pilatus and partner Fabrice Moran were stripped of their best new artist Grammy in 1990 after it was revealed that they hadn't sung a note on their hit album "Girl, You Know It's True." Pilatus was found dead in Frankfurt, Germany, on April 4, 1998. He was 32.

In 2001, J.J. Johnson, the most influential trombonist in postwar jazz, committed suicide in Indianapolis at 77. He translated the fast, linear style of bebop to the trombone in the late 1940's. His career included leading his own band, playing with legends like Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker, and composing.

In 2003, Charles Biddle, a bassist who promoted the first Montreal International Jazz Festival and launched his own club, died at age 76.

In 2009, it was announced that Barbara Mandrell, Roy Clark and Charlie McCoy would become the newest members of the Country Music Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony was held on May 17.

In 2009, multiple Grammy winner Shakira dedicated a $6 million school sponsored by her foundation, Pies Descalzos, to the humble La Playa district in her hometown of Barranquilla, Colombia. The 13,000-square-metre school will cater to 1,800 students and is the fifth the singer-songwriter's foundation has built.

In 2009, Lux Interior (real name was Erick Lee Purkhiser), co-founder and lead singer of the pioneering horror-punk band "The Cramps," died at age 62. The group was a part of the late '70's early punk scene centred at Manhattan clubs like CBGB, alongside acts like "The Ramones" and Patti Smith. The band's breakthrough debut EP was 1979's "Gravest Hits."

In 2010, a Federal Court in Sydney ruled that the Australian band "Men at Work" stole the flute melody from their hit 1982 song "Down Under," the country's unofficial anthem, from the children's song "Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree" which was written by teacher Marion Sinclair for the Girl Guides in 1935. Sinclair died in 1988, and publishing company Larrikin Music sued in 2009 over the song. On Feb. 25, the band's record company, EMI, appealed the decision. On July 6, a judge ordered EMI, and songwriters Colin Hay and Ron Strykert, to pay five per cent of royalties earned from the song since 2002 and from its future earnings. EMI appealed again. On Oct. 7, 2011, the band lost their final court bid to prove they did not steal the distinctive flute riff.

Happy Birthday Ron "Opie" Howard 3.1.1954

Stones kind of conection:
Opie gets asked to join a rock and roll band and they take to practicing in the Taylors' garage. Andy isn't too concerned about it all and is happy for the boys when they get their first gig, playing at a friend's birthday party. Soon however, Opie's attitude and behavior begins to chance. The band becomes all-consuming and he is staying out late in the evenings. When he begins to fail tests and assignments at school, Andy decides the time has come to lay down the law. Aunt Bee thinks that they should ask Clara Edwards to have a chat with Opie but Andy is convinced that it will only make matters worse. Aunt Bee goes ahead anyways and Clara's talk has surprising results.

And Of Course

April 16th 1964

The Rolling Stones is the debut album by The Rolling Stones, released by Decca Records in the UK on 16 April 1964.
Recorded at Regent Sound Studios in London over the course of five days in January and February 1964, The Rolling Stones was produced by then-managers Andrew Loog Oldham and Eric Easton. The Rolling Stones was originally released by Decca Records in the UK, while the US England's Newest Hit Makers appeared on the London Records label, with the track "Not Fade Away" (the a-side of the band's third UK single) replacing "Mona (I Need You Baby)".[2]
The majority of the tracks reflect the band's love for R&B. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (whose professional name until 1978 omitted the "s" in his surname) were fledgling songwriters during early 1964, contributing only one original composition to the album: "Tell Me (You're Coming Back)". Two numbers are credited to "Nanker Phelge" - a pseudonym the band used for group compositions from 1963 to 1965. Phil Spector and Gene Pitney both contributed to the recording sessions, and are referred to as "Uncle Phil and Uncle Gene" in the subtitle of the Phelge instrumental "Now I've Got a Witness."
The album cover photo was taken by Nicholas Wright. The cover bears no title or identifying information other than the photo and the Decca logo - an "unheard of" design concept originated by manager Andrew Oldham.[3][4]
Upon its release, The Rolling Stones became one of 1964's biggest sellers in the UK, staying at #1 for 12 weeks.
AND
The Rolling Stones' 1965 2nd European Tour was the first concert tour of France by the band. The tour commenced on April 16 and concluded on April 18, 1965.
