music in the shed

I had never seen this one before Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young with Dallas Taylor, Greg Reeves, and Tom Jones, (this video is from the Tom Jones Show)
I took my mum to see Jones in Vegas he could sing the phone book and make it around great, fantastic band too.

Incidentally, I also saw Crosby Stills and Nash play at the Palm Springs High School Gymnasium in 1988, a fantastic show. Why did these mega rock stars play a high school, as it turns out they owed Tommie Smith a big favor. Who the hell is Tommie Smith, well he was one of the two black US athletes who were stripped of their medals after giving the' Black Power Salute' at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. Tommie was friends with the band and he shared a house and supported them when they were a struggling unknown band in LA, friends for life. Tommie was later in life the athletic coach for Palm Springs High School and remained friends with the band

Great story, there are so many like this about bands before they became big stars. The road manager of Buffalo Springfield, Dickie Davis (lighting director of the Byrds), was the son of the husband and wife chef and housekeeping manager at my boarding school. They came and spent the night there over the Xmas break while on tour when the school was supposed to be empty. For reasons, I was still there and got to meet them all. This was 1966 or 67 and I was just getting into music. All I remember is that one of them wore a huge fur coat! Probably Neal Young, but who knows, I’ve seen pictures of Stills in one too.
 
AC DC played at my brother's high school formal in 1976ish before they were the biggest band in the world. You got to start somewhere.

ACDC played in Sudbury Ontario a few times (My Back Yard) I should have gone to one of their concerts but my F&^k'g job didn't agree ;o)

I was never really a fan of ACDC kinda reminded me of Ronny Howard from Happy Days - LOL
 
I don't believe anyone could do this Song Better then Ricky Skaggs.
What is that instrument he's playing a Madalyn/Bango ?
A Madalyn is about closet as you can get to a Violin.

However: A different take by Johnny Cash & the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band:

I will always love MUSIC and great songs - Don't care what type, as long as it has True Grit ;o)

Like this:
If you remember this # your really a Sick OLD Puppy !

I sure do remember that cracking little number. 😁
Was always a bit of a fan of Suzy, and it had nothing to do with my brother-in-law being one of her roadies so I got the odd free pass to her shows.
 
When I was a young bloke I worked on a construction site where we had 3 pneumatic wacker packers (tamper rammer whatever you wanna call them) bolted together on a frame in a triangular arrangement so one bloke could operate all 3 at once. There was no synchronisation between them so it behaved like some kind of frenetic dancer. We called it Fred Astair.
 
Elenor Powell, I once saw her in a movie rotating her legs one at a time from the hip sideways up over vertically. I couldn't believe it could be done. Such power, what an athlete.

I worked, as a teenager, on a major construction site. I was the first time I came across a Wacker or, as they were mainly called, " a Paddy's motorbike".

 

Three things Switzerland is famous for ........ Luigi Taveri ....... Fritz Egli ......... and Yello ...............

Seems somewhat ironic to me that Switzerland bans all forms of motor sport on the grounds of being dangerous .................... and yet is home to that collider thing that whizzes particles round and round in circles in order to bash them together in the hope of recreating The Big Bang which led to the birth of our Universe ..........

Nothing risky going on there , obviously .............

Neil Tennant gives Margi Clarke a lift ..........

The guy holding the phone away from his ear reminds me of a story .......... When Margaret Thatcher phoned Ronald Regan , he would hold the phone out at arms length , so everyone in the room could hear her talking away at the other end , oblivious to the fact he wasn`t listening to her ........ and then exclaim .... " Isn`t she wonderful ? ...... " ...............

It was said that during their conversations , she would start off by telling him what she thought ....... and then go on to tell him what HE thought ...............
 

I was kind of wondering what Antony Gormley was doing with the clingfilm ........... he used to make moulds of his body with plaster , which he would then encase in lead .... ( as works of art ) .......... but wrapping his body in clingfilm ? .............

That sounds like the sort of thing you might stumble across as part of some dodgy video shot in Berlin ....... ( so they tell me ..... ) ..........

Great stuff. Watch “The Loveless”, very stylised biker gang movie set in the 50s. Got a great deep south atmosphere and fantastic soundtrack. Robert Gordon had an acting role and Willem Defoe in one of his first movies.

Yes , a great film , with soundtrack performed by Robert Gordon ...... I put up " Wasting my Time " some time ago ......... so here`s this instead .........

I`m not sure if Driving Wheel actually featured in the film , if I remember , but it goes well with this clip from it anyway ........

A cover of an authentic `50`s rock and roll track which was written in 1980 ...... ( by Billy Swan and T - Bone Burnett ) .......

Have to switch to YouTube ( again ) , by the look of it .
