music in the shed

This altered my mind.... my trio did this as final song on the night, knew we were on a winner when a fight broke out on the dance floor, always a sign of stage to dance floor energy transfer. No doubt there are the real deal muso's in the UK.

 

... Jon ....... Another version ....... Seems PJ Harvey and The Rolling Stones both share the same appreciation and respect for those artists who were responsible for much of what we listen to today ......

..... By the way ....... remind me to stand well to the side , or towards the back , if I come to see you play live ........ sounds like things can get a little bit lively up front , now and again ...... :) ...... ( Tony ) ............


... BTW ( again ) ....... Back in the late `sixties and into the `seventies , I used to subscribe to a music mag here in the UK called Beat Instrumental ....... which was 75 % ok .... ( studio news , plus interviews with the likes of Taj Mahal and Sid Barrett , and a regular Dick Heckstall - Smith column ! ) ..... and 25 % stuffy , toffee-nosed , self-opinionated bollocks ....... depending on which staff writer it was . I guess .....

I remember one writer describing the Stones as " lousy musicians " !!!!!! ...... and when reviewing the first Clash album , saying " Come back when you`ve learnt to play , lads " ..........


Talking of music mags and papers ....... and the NME in particular ......

Toyah Wilcox once expressed a dislike for the paper , which I think centered on a review of one of her performances which wasn`t exactly favourable ........ but the thing was , the papers content was the work of about a dozen or more contributors , so it was pot luck if the person attending your concert was a fan or not .........

Editor at the time Neil Spencer said that if he received a copy of , say , the new Genesis album ....... the last thing he would do would be to give it to a staff writer who he knew was a big Genesis fan ......... that would only result in a fawning , over-praised review , whether the album deserved it or not ............ So he would give it to a writer who was not a particular fan of the group ...... He would`nt go quite as far as handing it to someone who really hated Genesis , but there was always the temptation .......

Brian Ferry also harboured a dislike for the NME ...... mainly because in the early days of Roxy Music they would take the piss , referring to him as Byron Ferrari , and so on ........ but as a couple of their writers said later on ... " It was only a bit of fun , most of us thought Roxy Music were really great .... " .......

....... Sometimes people can take things a little too seriously .............

Special import at only one news agency in Sydney ( back of Wynyard for Vince, he would know ) US "Circus" the later 70's, Kerrang the odd time, NME was UK, we had our own Version(s) for Australia, well it seemed to be our "own"...

Wealth of inside run snippets, beginning to wonder Tony, you moved in varied circles. A road less travelled, more so Laverda, on that rare breed... the both, man and ride. j

** of Slim Harpo, King Bee, throw together band 2 minutes before an open mic, usual fair guitarists whom joined in tripped up the progression time and again, "3 Bar" of sorts, ditto Rollin and tumblin as it was writ wiki has the background.... have to count the bars and then add a bit... sure the lads whom play here know the score, pun intended..

Once upon a campfire we were slinging off about harleys when one bloke said in a stern voice "You know, 80% of the Harleys ever made are still on the road today!"
Which he followed with "Only 20% made it home..."

Not with all the tassels hanging from the length of the wings.

That’s kinda funny because lots of aircraft have static discharge wicks on the trailing edge of wings that look just like tassels. And a radial engined Stearman biplane primary trainer is pretty damned close to a Harley, right down to the oil leaks.
