In These Heels Part 2 : Carole Kaye

 One of the Greatest Bassists of all time is a ...Woman?

 

Carol was part of an elite group of Los Angeles session musicians who played on hits by The Beach Boys, The Monkees, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Sonny & Cher and hundreds of others, including many of Phil Spector's productions. These session pros were uncredited, but a huge part of the creative process. As Carol explains, their work went well beyond playing the notes they were presented with; these were the musicians who made the hits, and their input was crucial.

Carol came from a jazz background, and her improv skills and technical proficiency made her a first call player when she transitioned to sessions. She started on guitar, but did most of her work on bass, which lightened her equipment load - an important consideration when you had to leave a session and go across town for another.

Carol was the ultimate working mom - she had three kids and was popular at Spector sessions during her pregnancies because Phil would make an exception and grant bathroom breaks. In the '70s, Carol did a lot of TV and Film work, which included themes to the shows M*A*S*H, Mission Impossible and The Love Boat..... Continue reading

Ever Wonder if There's a God?

Water:

1. A clear, colorless, odorless, and tasteless liquid, H₂O, essential for most plant and animal life and the most widely used of all solvents. No living thing can survive without it. Plants, animals and human beings consist mostly of water (about two-thirds of the human body is water). You'll see why the characteristics of water are uniquely suited to life: It has an unusually high boiling point and freezing point. Water allows us to live in an environment of fluctuating temperature changes, while keeping our bodies a steady 98.6 degrees. Water is also chemically neutral. Without affecting the makeup........Finsh reading about Water

 Did you know man has duplicated many things but one thing man CAN  NOT make is water. Water has no form no added tastes and our body needs it to live; we're made of it of course.

Your Version as..or..a straight up jack?

 Kevin Hart is Hilarious and I feel he really is one of the freshest comedians out. I, being an aspiring comic writer, am oddly aware of certain comics and comical...stuff.  I believe that the best are inspired by someone or a group of people. I happened to stumble across Kevin Hart's alter ego Chocolate Droppa's video named Boats and Hoes . So instantly I had to see where this was going. Before clinking the link I remember that that same title and concept was used in a movie called Step Brothers. I really don't want to believe Kevin completely jacked their idea. I honestly feel it was just a coincidence or marketing strategy to get followers of such movies as Step Brothers to follow rising comic Kevin Hart. I believe the young brother is way too talented to steal ideas, even though some famous comedians are known for stealing jokes. I even heard a Houston comic steal a Paul Mooney joke then do it horribly wrong...smh


What's your take on it? Maybe they have the same writer...

I think I'll watch Frida, I feel inspired by my lack of inspiration.

If you don't mind me asking, but how much do you get paid to....

 Next time some one starts their rude money question off with " If you don't mind me asking" respond by saying but I do, and that is tacky for you to ask.


Why don't some people know that it's tacky 2.0 to ask others about their money? People that ask you $ questions off top might be opportunists or just envious people.  

 

Isn't that  "class" 101?


Unless someone mentions it or you're in a serious relation or marriage, you are NOT to ask how much a person makes, how much their husband/wives makes or how much they made off this deal or that?


Sorry it's just tacky!



 Most wealthy people don't brag about their money anyway.


It always makes me think when someone asks me how much I made on this show or that song, do they care about the show or the song I wrote or sang on or are they only trying to see how much money it made me....

Here's the thing though, money doesn't make me

Hey Daddy,

BECAUSE they see you in me upfront some hate me yet I won't 

 be swayed by their discontent BECAUSE if it's for your name 

sake I'll take their neglect.  

BECAUSE  I Love YOU!
