Hugh McCracken

I don't think he ever recorded under his own name as leader. But he shows up on a long list of other people's recordings.

Quote:
Hugh McCracken, a virtuoso guitarist who was in such demand as a studio musician that he could afford to turn down Paul McCartney’s invitation to join the band Wings in 1971, died on Friday in Manhattan. He was 70.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

As to why they hate her, this could be a little enlightening.

Bursting the Thatcher Bubble

But if these figures are actual facts, I call her economical performance topnotch.

How Margaret Thatcher Won the Arguments That Mattered

Quote:
[S]he won the big arguments. She argued that inflation was a disease of money that could be cured by controlling the growth of the money supply alone, without suppressing incomes. During her premiership, inflation fell from a high of 27 percent in 1975 to 2.5 percent by 1986.

She believed that the political power of British labor unions had strangled enterprise and placed the country at the mercy of unelected barons. When she removed the legal immunities that protected unions from the financial consequences of their actions and overcame a yearlong strike organized by the hard-left leadership of the coal miners’ union, the employee days lost to strikes each year fell from 29.5 million in 1979 to 1.9 million in 1986.

She said that taxes were too high and brought the top rate down from 98 percent to 40 percent. She declared that the state should not be running British business and led the world in “privatization”—a word she found ugly but a concept she loved—selling off airlines, airports, utilities, and phone and oil companies to the private sector. In every case, her critics said that it could not be done. Yet, for better and for worse, she did it.


I say taxes for rich should go up, but come on, 98 percent? panic I think a leftie in the US would settle for 40%. I think left and right in the UK and the US have different scales. lol

Well among all the mousketeers, she was the most ....developed...shll we say.

I know she was close friends with former mousketeer Sharon, and also she has a thing going on with Paul Anka for a while.

Cubby did play drums for the Carpenters, and of others, and I think was a session musician in LA for a long time. Don't know what happened to him. Bobby, a goofy looking tall guy was on Lawrence Welk back in the 70's.

Does anyone know what became of the other original mousketeers?

The song "Puppy Love" was written by Anka to woo her. True story.

But I don't understand that one. And I say this as a secure heterosexual male: Wasn't Frankie Avalon much better looking than Paul Anka? I mean, Anka went bald at twelve years old tongue lol.

You'd think her song "Tall Paul" would be about Anka, but tall he ain't. confused

This is reaching waaaay back BUT does anyone remember Annette's solo song "Dio Mio?" Don't know why, but that song flashed thru my mind just now. confused

I know Anka wrote the song "Puppy Love" for Annette.

Here you go, Tis. It comes on at 14:56 into the video. I couldn't find it alone, only as part of the full album (which was unfortunately one of the corniest odes to so called Italian music ever produced lol).

That's the one but I remember the English version which was played on top 40 radio. Another Annette song off the top of my head, Pineapple Princess. If I'm not mistaken my sister and I actually had the first "Beach Party" soundtrack. lol

Winters was THE true comic genius of my lifetime. The only one who could even compete with him for that title is Robin Williams. Watching the two of them go off on a roadtrip while performing was an immediate flashback to the '60s for me. lol

IMO, Winters stole the movie, "Mad Mad World" and his tv roles had to be diluted for the medium but he was always fun to watch, and I will miss him.

Indeed! Robin Willams is pretty darn good, but still falls behind Winters. Do you remember the Mork & Mindy episodes that teamed those two. It wasn't quite the improvisation or comedic fest that it was expected to be. But by then Winters was approaching 60 and the sitcom environemnt wasn't meant to showcase that duet.

Damn, I really enjoyed his performance in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. As far I know only a few are left from that great movie. Sid Caeser, Micky Rooney, and Jerry Lewis to name the ones that I know for sure.

Love Robin Williams, he would probably be in my Top 10, but Don Rickles, Dom Deluise, Tim Conway, Jerry Lewis and such would be ahead of him I think.
