music in the shed

Saw Blondie in `77 as support act to Television......... Clem Burke was a great drummer ......... There seemed to be tensions within the group though ....... An onstage fight at a concert in London between band members , forcing Debbie to walk off stage ...... and a backstage disagreement at a re union gig in the `ninties , when someone ( maybe keyboardist Jimmy Destri ) was heard to shout out " Oh , it`s your group now is it Debbie ... ? ..... ) .........

To be honest , it probably always was , but you can understand some other members frustration .......

Keyboard players are the music equivalent of factory electricians …..

I near pissed myself laughing over my own comment! Possibly because I’ve experienced both.

Think all bands are happy families till fame arrives, who’s in charge, if it wasn’t for my keyboard playing etc.
Debbie Harry was always going to be famous with or without anyone else..that clip I put up is from 1975 that makes her already 30….I’m glad I was around then- even the Dr Who girls were hot then..
 
Have a clip of Syndicate of Sound ( am a big fan ) in 2014, Hey Little girl, pair of modern era Go-Go girls, doing a competent job, alas their feet were glued to the ground. Here is our very own Dennis, "they are ...watching your head" yes of course we are Dennis... of bountiful curves...j


and then the granddaughters version...

 
..very grateful to Scotland for George Young, Holland for "Snowy" the team of Vanda and Young, no problem to claim as ours... my trio did "Sorry" in the early 80's at a bikers out front, surfers in the back hotel on the coast. Blew the roof off the place, sea weed folk went berserk... one gal went topless standing on a table, my poor drummer lost it for a moment... here you go...one of the best from the era, and there were many.. Note the Oz dancers, the bloke in the middle was not well known outside of the studio, he was a top dancer arranger all the same. j

 
Had to remind myself why I got a copy of 'Taming Of The Shrewd' EP in 1989. It was worth watching the video two times, to pick out some of the details.

The Shadows meet Ennio Morricone ....... A friend of mine had a Shadows tribute band called Tangent ........ Jet Harris guested with them for live shows , for a while .......

Original Adam And The Ants guitarist , the late Matthew Ashman on this ......

Well that's a bit of a contrast with C30 C60 C90 go...

After The Cortinas " Fascist Dictator" , early `eighties Teutonic Toe Tappers DAF ( German / American Friendship ) decide to name one of their tracks after one ........ Presumably choosing Adolf Hitler would have been considered a ( goose ) step too far , so they decide on Benito Mussolini ....... although Der Fuhrer does get a mention in the lyrics , along with Jesus Christ ........

The hero in the video disguises himself using a John Travolta mask .......... Maybe Mussolini should have accepted the offer of a German Army uniform as a disguise , as his vehicle convoy approached Lake Como ..........

Mussolini was a passionate motorcyclist , a Benelli enthusiast .......... ( Have to Watch on YouTube apparently , if you think it`s worth it ...... I can hear all the Rory Gallagher fans sighing , and quickly turning the page ...... ;) ........ ) .........

No video, but great guitar:
So many great guitarists in Africa and so many different styles, this is from the desert of the Sahel. Sounds much like Ali Farka Toure who is from Timbuktu!
