I’m delighted to discover that the video of Joni Mitchell’s classic Shadows and Light concert (1980) can be viewed in full (1h 13m) on YouTube. This clip includes the fab four wailing in Liverpool’s Cavern Club: (If YouTube has taken down this video clip, you can hear the same recording with groovy rock and roll clips (sorry - requires Flash) from 1950s America and early Beatles. I’m amazed that Larry Williams isn’t in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.Įxtra credit assignment: Compare and contrast the Beatles’ cover of Slow Down with Larry Williams’ original. While Williams was alive, the Beatles paid their respects by admirably covering Larry’s Dizzy Miss Lizzy, Slow Down, and Bad Boy.
In the mid-1950s, Williams inherited star billing from Little Richard (who’d forsaken rock and roll for religion) at New Orleans’ record label Specialty Records. He was born in 1935 and died on this date, January 7, in 1980. Larry also composed Dizzy Miss Lizzy, Bad Boy, and Bony Moronie - classic rock tunes, all. I think that the dancers are from a 1950s Hollywood rock & roll movie. The tune, ringing with ninth chords, was released on disc in 1958. The tune, “Slow Down”, is performed on piano and sung by its composer, Larry Williams. If you must try it, run it on fast hardware with lots of memory. My conclusion? For real-time video, all of this virtualization results in erratic motion displays and sluggish controls.
I’m impressed that this works at all, since Android runs on ARM - not Intel - CPUs. Then I went to the Google Play Store within AndroVM and installed the Lorex Android client. Then I installed VirtualBox and installed AndroVM within it.(I guess that the Lorex client tries to write directly to the display, which, within Wine, isn’t where it is within a simple Windows system.) I installed Wine (Windows emulator) and had it open the Lorex Client 11 for Windows.Lorex supplies clients for Windows, IOS, OS X, and Android, but no client program for any Linux distro. A customer wanted to view his Lorex video surveillance system’s DVR from a 32-bit Xubuntu 12.04 PC.
