"Pass it over to me"... remember THAT one?? Off the great Easy Rider soundtrack... I recall it had some really nice Lloyd Green style pedal steel playing on it, but I'm not real sure it was him...Is there a chance ANY one might know??...
Now I KNOW for a fact there are a lot of 50+ ex hippies [like me] out there,so maybe someone will remember.
I could be wrong,but I think the band was called Friends of Man.. maybe.. some kind of 60's hippie band name.. I really don't recall, those days are long in the past and my memory grows dim.
Anyway,I'd like to know if that was Lloyd on that record. The lyrical content of the song was very different that most of the sessions he worked on back then,thats for certain.. |

| While we are at it, Does anyone remember the movie "JOE" with Peter Boyle? I recently purchased it on DVD and it has been cleaned up wonderfully. The theme song is great and sounds to be a non pedal player. Any ideas? |

It's a word whose usage and application is acquired thru experience and exposure to certain influences. It can also be referred to as "delay of game".
I always liked "Little Feat's" version, 'cause by the time you got to the tune on "Waiting for Columbus", you'd already heard some pretty good tunes.[This message was edited by Ray Minich on 06 April 2005 at 09:54 AM.] |

| It means "Don't hang on to it" or "Don't monopolize" the joint. I always thought it derived from the way Bogart used to let his cigarette hang out of the side of his mouth, but who knows. [This message was edited by Bill McCloskey on 06 April 2005 at 10:23 AM.] |

The artist listed on the old record I had was The Fraternity of Man 10/4 for what it's worth. That was one great tune which we always had a crowd sing along thing going.
Dont' bogart that joint my friend,
Pass it over to me.
Don't bogart that joint my friend,
Pass it over to me.

Dang, I used to know all the words, oh well, maybe someone should have been "Bogarting" their wacky-backy joints when I was around, can't remember a thing anymore....JH in Va.

Bunch of old fart hippies... I'll bet if your hair hadn't all fallen out 15 years ago,it would be down to your butts!!
Seems like there were other lyrics that went kinda like this..."its about burnt to the end, now c'mon and be a real friend"... Ah well, those were fun times... but about 25 years ago. reality set it... bob[This message was edited by Bob Carlucci on 06 April 2005 at 01:18 PM.] |

Thanks a lot for the linguistic course fellows !
Next time I'll "bogart" a joint I'll remember that song... and I have a reputation to "bogart" them...
That's why I'm so bad at steel !!! |

| I'm not positive about this, but -- I've always thought that the term "bogart" came from the apparent propensity of Mr. Bogart (the actor) to keep puffing on a cigarette until it was almost burnt down to his fingers. |

| actually, I got into listening to this type of music just about the time I got out of high school, give or take. About the same time as I started listening to Buddy Cage, Sneaky Pete ect...This is the stuff that got me interested in the steel guitar. How bout the rest of you? |

I think Richie Hayward (Little Feat drummer) was in the "Fraternity of Man" and that's why they did it in their shows...
I don't know what all that other stuff is y'all are talking about!  |

| I was guessing it had something to do with the bass player from Vanilla Fudge, but I could be wrong. I saw him when he was with Cactus and, believe me, there was no "bogarting" going on that night. [This message was edited by Rick McDuffie on 06 April 2005 at 05:11 PM.] |
