music in the shed

We arrived in Ireland and are staying at Roundwood House, a country B&B where Eric Burdon recorded this 45 years ago in May of 1978 using Ronnie Lanes Mobile Studio. The album of the same name was released in 1980.

Never been to Glastonbury , although it`s only down the road .......... Ridden past a few times when it`s been on ......... usually quite a few nicked cars with Merseyside plates abandoned by the roadside ......... Never much liked the MSP`s , or The Cardigans either , but this is kinda alright ......
 

Bought IABD`s " Marrying Maiden " album in 1970 ......... This track was written by violin player David La Flamme and Bobby Beausoleil , when they were both in a group based in California called Orkustra , although it`s based around a track originally written by jazz musician Vince Wallace ......

Jon Lord of Deep Purple heard Bombay Calling , contacted La Flamme , and arranged a deal where he could use it as a basis for a Deep Purple track , which became " Child In Time " .......

La Flamme and Beausoleil performed Bombay Calling whilst they were both in Orkustra ........ La Flamme went onto form IABD , and the track was included on their first album , which is how Jon Lord got to hear it .....

Beausoleil was an actor , as well as musician , but was also an associate of Charles Manson ........ Film maker Kenneth Anger approached Beausoliel , with a view to having him star in his Lucifer Rising film....... some footage was shot , but then the two of them fell out , and Beausoliel`s involvement with Manson led to him eventually being jailed over the killing of another Manson associate , Gary Hinman , who was drug dealer who also taught music at University of Calafornia LA .... this was over a deal which went wrong ........

Anger wanted to complete the movie , so he came over to England , did some filming at Avebury Stone Circle in Wiltshire ....... The finished film featured Donald Cammell , Marianne Faithfull , Chris Jagger , and Bobby Beausoleil ( some of the original footage was incorporated into the final version ) .........

All he needed now was a soundtrack , so Anger asked Jimmy Page , who he was friendly with , if he would provide one ..... Page agreed , but about 18 months went by with Page doing bugger all , so Anger patched things up with the now incarcerated Beausoleil , and asked if he would provide a soundtrack , working in the prison music room ........ which Beausoleil did ......... providing the soundtrack to the film he should have originally starred in ..........

Haven`t seen the film , but I don`t expect it`s very good ..........

The Music People 3.jpg

This was my introduction to It's A Beautiful Day.


It appeared on a wonderful Columbia sampler triple album: 'The Music People'.
40 Songs for, IIRC, £2.50, slightly less than a regular LP.
Introduced me to many artists that I was unlikely to hear on British radio, in 1971.
Sweathog

REO Speedwagon
Barry Mann
Jake Holmes
Jimmy Spheeris
Dreams
Chase
Boz Scaggs
Al Stewart
Kris Kristofferson
Taj Mahal
Fields
Santana
Spirit
Fishbaugh, Fishbaugh and Zorn
Grin
Nieman
Jonathan Swift
to name but a few.
Over the years I have collected over twenty of the featured albums on it
 
First time I heard IABD was also on a compilation album which a friend let me borrow ........ the track was Don and Dewy , and it was a compilation double album , either Rockbuster , or Fill Your Head With Rock .......... remember Al Kooper and Shuggy Otis also being on it , Chicago Transit Authority covering I`m A Man , and an American group called Flock , who covered the Kinks Tired Of Waiting ........
 

When The Clash decided to cover Brand New Cadillac , Joe Strummer went over to Paris to meet Vince Taylor , to get his ok / permission / blessing ......
They met for lunch somewhere ........ Vince told Joe that the Duke and Duchess of Windsor , who also lived in Paris , were trying to kill him by sending him bars of poisoned chocolate through the post ........ but he gave his ok for the cover version , so that was alright ......

The Duke , formerly King Edward V111 , had to abdicate , due to his marriage to Wallace Simpson ......... ( because she was an American divorcee , not because she was yellow and had three fingers .... ) .......
 
Another version of Indifférence by Tony (Antonio) Murena. It's a bit academic, because it's a guitar tutorial. I'm using it to learn the piece.
I wondered why such a sublime number was called Indifférence.
And then the penny dropped. The music was played for the first time in Paris in the winter of 1943. Not at all a pleasant place, overrun by the Germans. Indifférence was a way of saying "Fck you" to the occupiers.

Maybe Ronnie Dawson with Lisa Pankratz on drums, Up Jumped the Devil, Shim Sham Shimmy, Monkey Beat, but a few from the high dance groove and fun to watch performing, does not always translate to everyone all the same. Link Wray Robert Gordon standout together also. j
 
Have no shame plug, pre pandemic, good day and lots of atmosphere..... do love trio's, most of my performing was in three. Jane on drums and main vocals, a rare talent. The breeze was cold, the upright bass was changing pitch while i played, ie playing to pitch or transposing on the fly... That bridge has been removed now. j
