music in the shed


Jon actually bothers to turn up for this one ..... with the missus on vocals there would have been trouble if he didn`t ........

Hollis Queens on drums , and Russell Brand on bass .............
 

.... what do you need to get a slot on Australian TV ? ........ a nice catchy guitar riff .......... Jon " I don`t play no blues , I play rock n` roll " Spencer looks on , shakes his head sadly , and walks away ......

Sonic Youth stare middle age in the face .............

Having trouble hooking the melody on the Crenshaw clip Tony, wrong footed/ear here, a 6/8 if not 3/4..? Love Robert Gordon Link Wray.

Hall of fame for RnR Rockabilly, Ronnie Dawson/Lisa Pankratz , Johnny Powers, Charlie Feathers, many a UK RnR bands can push it out also. j.

*** There is a clip of Robert Gordon bass player halfway through a song, playing piano with the left hand and still playing right hand open strings on the bass same time...does my head in as popular pommy vernacular would have it.
 
...Mark Hollis from Talk Talk, unique and signature vocals/song style, delivered the goods over and over. Depeche Mode another of that ilk, not every song a standout/up counted when it mattered. j.

.... This may be the clip .... ( 1 : 06 ) ........ you`re thinking of Jon .......... :) ...............
 
Great double act, Robert Gordon and Link Wray, both sadly deceased. Link Wray, guitar legend. Robert Gordon pre dates the Rockabilly revival circa 1980, Stray Cats etc. Did the sound track and acted in the cult bike film ‘The Loveless’. If you want to see them actually playing live !, check out Wild Wild Women from 1978 on the German TV programme Rocknaplast ? I think. Rocketonarail you maybe able to get it on YouTube for viewing ? Definite punk vibe to the rockabilly theme.

On the Money Tony, faultless postings, how do you set the standard, we just follow, a grin here. Much obliged.

Pretty good effort on electric bass walking line, easy to get it wrong, DB is a lot more forgiving. Love this song, my boy/boy/girl trio blew up the local soldiers club dance floor, fighting one another to get on the dance floor.... dem were da days. j
