Know your stuff Tony, indeed a T40 to my eye, bit keen on the Cirrus Peavey basses at one time, John Taylor Durran made use of those Cirrus. Do like Rickenbacker anything as in this clip, my Midnight Blue 4001 does command stage presence, many the time i used it.

Dont know why, this type or genre song, reminds me of Magazine "under the Floorboards" then of course the superior Gang of Four, Killing Joke, Alice in Chains.... off i go, does not take much, grin..... Ronnie Dawson... Johny Powers for dance groove rockabilly... tangents are a way of life here...j

... Thanks Jon ..... but not quite so knowledgeable as you think ..... Just happened to see that mentioned in the comments , and seeing you`re our go to bass guy , thought you might be interested ....... :) .......

This was the edition of The Tube which also had Bo Diddley as another guest , and he reckoned The Fall were the only English group who really understood the blues ...... as in the blues having it`s roots in everyday life I guess , rather than any particular musical style ........ ( Cruisers Creek is about an office Chistmas party , apparently ....... ) ..........

Cheers , Tony
 

.For lovers of Lion Bars everywhere ....... ( originally Rowntrees Newcastle ...... now Nestle Dijon ........
........same old story , we come up with something great , then give it away to someone else ....... except cricket obviously .... you can keep that ...... ) .......


A lady friend of mine once mentioned that she saw The Troggs perform at Wormelow Tump village hall , near Hereford ........

After the show , she reckoned singer Reg Presley had her pinned against the wall at the back of the hall , until her sister arrived on the scene and chased him away ......

........ ( so she says , but she does tend to exaggerate sometimes ........ he probably just bumped into her on his way to the bar ........ ) ......

.... Now I realise the "Fat Dancer From Take That " .....( copyright Liam Gallagher ) ..... isn`t everyone`s cup of tea , but there is a feel good vibe to this .........

.......If I was there I would probably be singing along too .........

Clever Tony as ever, you do scare me at times.... kindred spirits not of the same continent, the above a fav here. Free Money was covered by import Adalita, Euro parents, local cult band "Magic Dirt" Love the off transition A-G-F play it often here....j


 

........ Watching this again reminds me that when I saw The Damned in 1978 , it was Capt Sensible`s ( Ray Burns ) birthday , and he appeared naked on stage ........ wearing only his guitar .........

Donita Sparks makes a half-hearted attempt at the same thing here , fourteen years later .... ( not sure if it was HER birthday though ......... ) .......

Frank must be one of my favourite drummers ......... Here he joins Mick and Johnny , attempting to breathe life into an audience who are obviously waiting for Bon Jovi to come on , by the look of it .........

Ok , they`d have to wait another four years before Bon Jovi arrived on the scene , but you get my drift ........

..... ( Living On A Prayer was alright though , and he did stop that woman from jumping off that bridge recently ..... ) ......

This is my Kris Kristofferson story:

I never met him, but in the early 1980’s I was working as a helicopter mechanic on an offshore oil rig in the Eugene Island block in the Gulf of Mexico. It turns out this was the same platform that Kristofferson was based on when he was out of the Army and trying to break into the Music business. We all worked on a 7 days on-7 days off schedule and this let him drive up to Tennessee to play his songs for the music industry people. It was at this time that he rented a helicopter and landed it in Johnny Cash’s backyard!

Anyway it turns out that this platform was where he wrote Me, and Bobby McGee as well as Help Me Make It Through the Night, either up on the rooftop heliport under the stars or in our bunk room. My brush with greatness…..
