music in the shed

You spotted it, knife and paintbrush, next to the glass finger slide in the guitar case, then he looked well bored that performer..could have just as quickly used the knife on his wrist...think he is part of the studio house band... could not see if the brush had paint on it, matching ruby red for Poly makeup...well spotted Tony... i saw it first time also...homage to Keith Emerson stab your keybed when inspiration is called for...j

Jon ...... Your mention of Keith Emerson reminds me of a story ....... After The Band of Gypsies finished , Jimi Hendrix was planning to join ELP ( HELP ) ........ Hendrix was at an ELP gig , stood in the wings filming it on a cine camera ........ According to Keith Emerson , Hendrix kept motioning at him to throw one of the knives in his direction , at the speaker stack next to him , so he could capture it on film ......

Keith was reluctant to do this , as he was afraid he might miss, and hit Jimi ....... but Hendrix kept signalling at him to do it ...... So he thought Sod it , OK then .... and threw the knife ........ which missed the speaker , hit the cabinet instead ....... rebounded , flying across the stage , and hitting bass player Greg Lake on the back of the head ..... ( not with the blade , luckily ) ...........

Not sure if Jimi Hendrix got all this on film ...........
 

.... He went down so well they asked him back ......

Morrissey once said in an interview that when The Smiths first visited Japan , he was walking down the street , and he kept being stopped by teenage Japanese girls asking for his autograph .......... He later discovered that they were mistaking him for Jobriath .......... Which would have been rather strange , as Jobriath would have been dead for probably a good eighteen months or so by then .......

I first saw him on TV around 1974/5 .... they showed the Midnight Special clip of " Rock of Ages " , which dates from `74 , probably on Colour Me Pop , or TOGWT , on BBC2 .....

Real name Bruce Campbell ...... he was promoted by Carly Simon`s manager , and signed to Elektra Records in `73 ........ Was massively promoted around that time , magazine coverage and giant billboards in New York and so on ........

Recorded a couple of albums , with contributions from The London Symphony Orchestra , Peter Frampton , and John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin ........

Despite well attended shows , and reasonable album sales , things never really took off .......... Elektra pulled the plug a few years later ..........

In the early `nineties , Morrissey ( again ) , tried to contact Jobriath with a view to having him as support act on his " Your Arsenal " tour ............ unaware that " rocks truest fairy " ( copyright Bruce Campbell ) , had actually snuffed it some ten years earlier .........
 
Bullet with Butterfly Wings, a song/bass line on the rotational play to four walls here, the original gal on bass while somewhat awkward managed dexterity did well live on that song. Ditto White Zombie Black Sunshine, massive visual appeal and competent playing from the gal bass player... for the older folk like me there is Kitty Daisy and Lewis mother on upright Bass, a 70's era electric bass player of punk genre am lead to believe.... the Dad on guitar is lamentable however. Kitty has something special in a special laden group. j

Bit of a roll, ans self serve, posting..... TJW Organic Shuffle, did it live with one of my trio's, not quite as good as Tony, though we had our punter compliments. Drop into funk on bass without prompting.. Rhythm section of Jellybean and Shack Shakers, 6 string custom 35" bass ( Warmoth parts for the knowing ), signal me out if have posted previous, helps to be reminded when i do that...

Thanks for the (re)intro to TJW Jon. Polk Salad Annie had faded in memory oblivion for me and it's great to be reminded and do a bit of TJW Spotify exploration.
 
Last one for today, Ally has it all on this performance, like the drums, verges on too much, then it pulls back... be a task joining him on bass...
