music in the shed

Try 'Radio Garden' - lots of random music from all over the world. Available on an App or just the Web site. Some good stuff out there. I just homed in on Radio Dolgellau (Wales) and Pat Travers came booming out. 🎸👍📻

We have something in common John. I've always liked Concrete Blonde and Johnette Napolitano. She has an unusual voice, a little reminiscent of the late Lisa Schouw.

Much is about cross pollination, see your flower has already been pollinated Cam, not heard of a band called "Bees", pity as the premise of flying about and leaving innuendo all about is a life distraction of some merit, Bzzzzzzz oh to bee a bee, then all i want is to be a Dragon Fly... now that is a hooting insect....more in the abstract, for me it is all true. j
 

Bass guitar as lead instrument...official video is better , directed by Jonathan Demme , but won`t go ( although on my screen it comes up as an option at the start , so watch that if you can ) , so it`s this instead ...not so sure about the white socks.....

Oh...the socks, you may be even less enamored, the boxing boots of choice...actually a homage to the late John Glascock, live Tull were not of this earth.

Loved Joy Division, remnants New Order were ok, just not the same....best execution of this type of bass sound has to be Mark Sandman, special band "Morphine"

Saw Joy Division Oct `79 supporting the Buzzcocks.....about eight months before Ian Curtis commited suicide....Kids at the front of the stage would shout out " Go on , do your butterfly dance " .....Steven Morris said at early rehearsals Curtis would perform perfectly normally , but first time they played live he launched into these gymnastics , taking everyone by surprise ....

Am well envious, what you were able to witness at stage front in England, good to read at the least. Indeed the stage invokes so may changes in a person, not adverse to antics myself, kissing the female singers feet mid song may have taken it slightly too far... Similar to Peter Gabriel coming onto the stage in a Fox Head... news to the band and then some.... suppose blipping the throttle on a Jota as you come into the pub parking lot with modern bikes every where... none sound or look like a Jota, least of all the trail of oil laid down in an arc as i came in... left arc thank goodness, had i turned right arc then it would have been a lot different, wry smile.... ( seal under alternator leak ).....j
 
The Peter Gabriel fox head thing .......there`s a clip of an interview with the band after a gig and they`re all sat there answering questions with Pete still wearing it.......Tony Banks keeps glancing over at him with an expression that seems to be " What will the manager say , what`s my mum going to think " .....

The New York CBGB / Mudd Club thing.....saw Television play live in `77 with Blondie supporting them.......first on were a Bristol punk band called The Cortinas......singer Jeremy Valentine walked onstage wearing a donkey jacket with the " Ford " motor company logo on the back....I remember my mate sniggering at that ......

Also saw Talking Heads with The Ramones as support , the Patti Smith Group at Cardiff Top Rank , Iggy Pop ( I know they`re not from NY ) , and The Dictators , amongst others.....You may regret bringing this up...I feel another posting or two coming on .......

About 20 years ago in the Rumours ira I saw Fleetwood Mac in Sydney and this was played, that's when I discovered Peter Green.

Ah, memories!
This was the song playing, at a dance, that I first "pulled" to.
Brodick, Arran, a girl I'd never seen before in my life. In the slower acoustic part, we kissed. Still makes the hairs stand up, thinking back on it.
 
Went to see Poppa Chubby once, never again!
The derogatory comments he made about the audience and the nice, quaint venue made me leave the concert early

sorry to hear Gerald .Never seen him probably never will .Just liked some of his music
 
Levo,
I listened to his music before the concert, but the comments he made on stage were just unbearable for me.
Probably thought that 99% of the audience, being German, had no clue what he was throwing at them verbally.
