music in the shed

"It could be the sting in the ale" but I think I can safely say this is the best song ever written about the game of cricket. The song is from Roy Harper's HQ album, a brilliant album from an amazing composer/musician.
'An Old Cricketer', Roy Harper accompanied by the Grimmes Thorpe Colliery Band.
It has taken me many years to realize this is not just a song about cricket but is about the journey we all make through life leading to our final innings and the call of "Howzz zat"
 
This guy came back to mind, a couple of weeks ago, and I've been playing him a lot. Some good advice in this song and a nice bit of Bass playing for you, Jon.
I heartily recommend that you check out some of his other stuff.

You just beat me to it ........ Seeing "Meet The Richardsons " repeated on Dave yesterday reminded me that Jon Richardson is a fan ......... I remember watching him in black and white when he was a regular on "That`s Life " ( I think ) .......

Unashamed local content to follow, Damian Cowell a live icon for me, TISM a favourite. The gals just make a stage complete, and then some, the mix on stage has it all, done me boy bands, any band with me has a gal or two. Could ramble, and often do so, let the music speak for me...j

This bloke is great , and the tracks are good too ........ it`s like watching Alfred Hitchcock dancing to Donna Summer ....... He ought to do Glastonbury , they`d love him ........
 

The Shits take on Lou Reeds " Waiting for my Man " , only the fix they`re after is the next episode of UK ` sixties ITV soap opera Crossroads .......

Music journalist Giovanni Dadomo founded the Shits , with Kirsty MacColl`s husband Steve Lillywhite on bass .......
 

...The Crossroads theme tune was written by one time David Bowie collaborator Tony Hatch ...... Hatch also wrote the theme tune for the Australian series Neighbours , and several of Petula Clarks hits , also writing and producing for a million other different artists ....... His work with The Searchers was amongst the first to be produced in true stereo ........ He also wrote this ....... with his missus Jackie Trent providing the lyrics and vocals ......

I believe in Australia , Hatch and Trent were known as " Mr and Mrs Music " .......

.... and it`s the Snivelling Shits again ........

Yukio Mishima was the subject of a film ( Mishima A Life In Four Chapters ) , by Paul ( Raging Bull , Taxi Driver ) Schrader ....... Haven`t seen that all the way through , although did see Schrader`s remake of Cat People with Nastassia Kinski and Malcolm McDowell , at the Arnolfini Cinema in Bristol , back in `82 ...... Quite enjoyed it ..........

Hatch and Trent, were big in THE CLUBS when I was a kid. That Leagues Clubs or Poky Places was what they were known as. Not exactly cool, the Mums and Dads loved them. Contemperys of Frank Ifeld and this nerve gangler. My absolute apologies to anyone with actual musical taste.
 
Frank Ifield .... an Australian born in England who yodelled ......... Who needs to wear velvet shorts and braces , and have a hat with a feather stuck in it to yodel ............ just do it .... ! ......
 

....and now for something completely different ....... WARNING ........ If easily offended look away now ( you`re definitely going to watch now , aren`t you .. ) .......

Inspired by an overhead pub conversation , where two old geezers were trying to out do each other with ever more outlandish claims ....

Metallica were so impressed with this , they asked vocalist Animal to perform it live on stage with them .......

Dedicated to Facebook / Twitter / X users everywhere .......... Happy New Year ... !! ........
